Here’s a breakdown of all the PUBG weapon stats for the weapons in the game right now, so you can keep your eyes peeled for the PUBG weapons that will help you win the ultimate chicken dinner!

Pistols

Pistols in Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds mainly serve as starting weapons when you can’t find anything else and find yourself surrounded after the drop. The P18C’s full auto mode makes it deadly at the close range at the start of the game, while a well aimed headshot using the revolver can take down an enemy quickly. Once you’ve found yourself a primary and secondary there’s not much use worrying about what pistol you’re carrying.

P92

• Ammo: 9mm
• Fire Rates: Semi
• Medium damage pistol with average firing rate, base magazine capacity of 15. 2 headshots or 4 chest shots to kill an unarmored player.

Shotguns

Extremely high damage at close range that will kill even armoured players with a direct hit. Damage stats are based on all 9 pellets in each shell hitting your opponent, so adjust your expectations accordingly and make sure you land your first shot as you won’t often get a second chance.

S686

• 12 Gauge
• Double barrelled over/under shotgun, extremely high damage at close range, magazine capacity 2. Will kill opponents regardless of armour type if hit with all 9 pellets in chest or head.
• Attachments: Choke, Bullet Loops

S1897

• 12 Gauge
• Pump action shotgun, extremely high damage at close range, magazine capacity of 5. Will kill opponents regardless of armour type if hit with all 9 pellets in chest or head.
• Attachments: Choke, Bullet Loops

S12K

• 12 Gauge
• Semi-automatic shotgun, extremely high damage at close range, magazine capacity of 9. Will kill opponents regardless with level 2 armor or less if hit with all 9 pellets in chest or head.
• Attachments: Magazine Extender and Quick Draw, Silencer, Red Dot, Holographic Sight

We Recommend:

We’d suggest you go with the double barrelled S686 if you’re rolling with a shotgun, add a Choke and you’ll be able to land the majority of your pellets up to a range of 12 meters. The fact you can land two shots almost instantaneously means you should be able to down any player you get a jump on.

SMGs

Submachine guns provide a good alternative to the shotgun when it comes to CQC in PUBG, while the UMP-9 can even hold its own in an medium range engagement with a 2x or 4x scope added.

• Compact short range submachine gun with the highest rate of fire in the game, initial magazine capacity of 25. 2 headshot or 5 chest shots to kill an unarmored player.
• Attachments: Magazine Extender and Quick Draw, Silencer, Flash Hider, Micro Uzi Stock

UMP-9

Tommy Gun

Vector

We Recommend:

A full extend and modded Vector should see you through to a victorious chicken dinner in most circumstances. It’s ludicrously high fire rate and accuracy at close range will let you down any player wielding an Assault Rifle in within the last circles, just beware of anyone with a shotgun!

We Recommend:

There’s no clear winner here unfortunately, what AR to pick depends in part on your preferred playstyle, but also what mods you pick up along the way. A fully kitted SCAR provides good accuracy at medium range when firing at Full Auto, while an AKM or M16 can act as decent medium to long range weapons of choice with the right scope.
