At the start of 2022, PUBG Battlegrounds is experiencing a surge in popularity. Especially newcomers, who are playing the game for the first time after the switch to a free-to-play model, are overwhelmed by a flood of weapons. MeinMMO tells you which weapons are the best in PUBG in 2022.
With over 40 different firearms and numerous attachments, it is not easy to keep track in PUBG. Due to the randomness of loot in a battle royale, it is also difficult to try out all weapons thoroughly and calmly.
That’s why we tell you which 3 weapons are currently the best in PUBG. We explain the biggest pros and cons of the weapon and reveal which attachments you should definitely use.
This selection is based on our own experiences, as well as the collected opinions of some professionals and frequent players. The preferences of streamers like summit1g have also been taken into account.
AWM – The best sniper rifle in PUBG 2022
What makes the weapon so powerful? The AWM is undoubtedly the strongest weapon in the game.
This sniper always kills with a headshot – even against a level-3 helmet. However, this strength is balanced by its rarity: You can only find the weapon in dropped crates. The same goes for the ammunition, which is why you should be very careful with your available bullets.
In return, you don’t need that much ammunition due to the lethality of the AWM. With its massive range and the high speed of the bullets it fires, it is comparatively easy to aim with the weapon.
The best attachments for the AWM:
- Muzzle: Suppressor
- Stock: Cheek pad
- Scope: 6x scope
Why these attachments? The suppressor counters one of the few weaknesses of the AWM, namely its loud shots. The cheek pad reduces the shaking of your scope and overall the stability of the weapon, making it an excellent choice here. You have more flexibility with the scope choice; with the 6x scope, you can fully utilize the strengths of the weapon.
Mini14 – The best DMR in PUBG 2022 for beginners
What makes the weapon so strong? The Mini14 is the most popular DMR and one of the best weapons in the game. Its damage is not the best, but it is super easy to use. With an extended quick draw magazine, you can fire many shots quickly and kill your opponents.
The weapon has the fastest bullets in the game, and it fires with high precision and stabilizes quickly when shooting. Thus, it can be used easily at all distances, and its performance is always reliable.
Its disadvantages as a DMR are particularly significant in close combat. Furthermore, it cannot be equipped with attachments as well as other weapons.
The best attachments for the Mini14:
- Muzzle: Compensator
- Magazine: Extended Quick Draw Magazine
- Scope: 6x scope
Why these attachments? Both the compensator and the extended quick draw magazine help you fire more bullets faster. This way, the Mini14 can put a lot of pressure on opponents, even though it does not have automatic fire.
The 6x scope is designed for long distances because the Mini14 has no difficulties at these ranges. Depending on how aggressively you want to play with the weapon, you can also use a 4x or even 2x scope.
Beryl M762 – The best assault rifle in PUBG 2022
What makes the weapon so strong? When the weapon came into play in mid-2019, it had a tough time among many players. Its high damage could not completely make up for a terrible recoil. Since then, the weapon is, in the eyes of many, the best AR in the game and one of the strongest weapons in PUBG.
It deals more damage than the AKM and also has a faster bullet speed. However, its recoil is not easy to control. Like most ARs, the Beryl is therefore not particularly beginner-friendly. However, those who delve into the realistic weapon mechanics and learn how to handle the Beryl will be rewarded with a very strong and flexible weapon.
Moreover, you can attach 4 attachments to the Beryl – which is rare for weapons in this game. Additionally, it can also be used in burst fire mode. This further increases its already high flexibility.
The best attachments for the Beryl M762:
- Muzzle: Compensator
- Foregrip: Vertical grip
- Magazine: Extended Quick Draw Magazine
- Scope: Red dot sight
Why these attachments? Grip and compensator help with the recoil, which the weapon desperately needs. The magazine allows for a higher margin of error since you have more bullets ready and can reload faster.
The red dot sight should support the weapon’s aggression potential. If you have the confidence to shoot continuously at distance with the weapon, you can also switch to scopes with more zoom.
