Based on hard stats and our own rankings, we’ve listed the best weapons and their damage in PUBG.
PUBG weapon damage stats become increasingly important as you begin to think about taking the game a bit more seriously and wanting to improve your gameplay preparedness. Different weapon statistics are important at different times, too; DPS isn’t very important for sniper rifles, for example, but it’s one of the most important attributes for SMGs.
On this page, we will thoroughly investigate the key stats and numbers for all of PUBG’s weapons, including the new Bizon, plus we will pick the best weapons from our own opinion with reasoning for that choice further down the page.
Latest Weapon Damage Stats for PUBG, Including the New MP5K
Before diving into the tables, there are a few things to bear in mind:
- We will be talking about the all weapons in ‘battle royale mode, so if you’re interested in learning more about hard data and stats, please see this spreadsheet from PUBG Redditor dak4ttack or a tidier version in Google Sheets here.
- The tables shown here are ordered by shots to kill. This is a very vital consideration for a sniper rifle, and far less so for an AR or SMG. Sniper rifles need to focus on accomplishing one thing with their attacks: landing as few shots as possible while still successfully killing a player. On the other hand, ARs and SMGs prioritize time to kill over everything else. These guns are meant to do more damage in less time, allowing you to work toward your goals of eliminating enemy targets faster than they can attack you back.
- Time to Kill means how much time it takes for a weapon to kill an opponent of average health points. It’s applicable to the headshot, chest, and limb shots. Ideally, Time to Kill is something that should be considered in each case when deciding which weapon does more damage. Additionally, Shots to Kill or STK are used for evaluating how many shots will it take a certain weapon to kill somebody of average health points wearing either any combination of body, arm or helmet armor all at once or only one at a time.
- Times are in seconds.
- Weapons marked with an asterisk * are only available as airdrops in crates, so don’t plan to play around with these being available in every game.
