COD: Mobile Season 6 (2024), officially titled 'Synthwave Showdown,' is finally here. With that, we have some significant weapon balance changes to the game that will shift the previous meta we saw in Season 5.
The latest season has added a new AR weapon, BP50, a new BR Class, Revive, musical-themed events, seasonal challenges, nuances to Ground War, a 1v1 custom room feature and other such things, along with some major weapon balance changes for both MP and BR modes.
It can be challenging to work out what is worth running, but that is where our COD: Mobile Season 6 (2024) assault rifle tier list comes in, as we break down all of the ARs in the game to determine which is the best and which one should be left back in the lockup.

S-Tier
- Type 19
- ASM10
- AK-47
- AS VAL
- M13
- Kilo 141
- Krig 6
- MK2 Peacekeeper
- Groza
Update: Despite being a new addition, the Type 19 is a great AR that, with the right attachments, can easily take out enemies at all ranges.
Apart from that, the Groza is also a great AR that stands among some of the best ones in the game. Seeing that, we have added it to the S-tier.
The original article continues: With ASM10 and AK-47 being buffed while they were already great ARs in COD: Mobile, they have climbed the ladder this season and taken the spot in S-tier.
At the outset of Season 11, we put the Krig 6 in the A-tier, but after some serious hands-on time with the new assault rifle, it is clear that it can mix it with the best. Extremely accurate, with little-to-no recoil and high damage per shot, makes it an absolute beast, capable of engaging enemies at short, medium, and long range. We love it.
Keeping their spots in the S-tier are the M13 and Kilo 141.
These two guns have long sat atop the assault rifle category, and for good reason, offering up high damage output, low recoil, and, perhaps most importantly, plenty of adaptability with their large array of attachments.
Choosing between these two largely depends on your playstyle. If you prefer to keep a bit of range to your engagements, it's the Kilo 141.
The M13 is unique as it is just so easy to use. With almost zero recoil, this assault rifle is for those who don't have the phrase 'recoil pattern' in their vocabulary.
Returning to the S-tier is the MK2 Peacekeeper, which has seen its damage range improved to close-to-medium ranges.
A-Tier
- BP50
- FFAR 1
- Maddox
- CR-56 AMAX
- HVK 30
- AK117
- DR-H
- Type 25
- Oden
- Grau 5.56
A relatively new entry in the A-tier, the AK-47 has proven itself a great assault rifle, especially after the improvements to its recoil and sprint-to-fire speed in the Season 10 weapon balance changes.
Also keeping its place in the A-tier is the CR-56 AMAX, which has seen its ADS spread reduced, making it a more accurate assault rifle and a good pick.
Getting a buff in previous seasons, the AS VAL is a great AR to use in COD: Mobile. Time will tell if it's enough to bring it up to the S-tier, but for the moment, we can't confidently say so and thus keeps its place here.
There are plenty of other good options in the A-tier that miss out on the top spot because of some slight peccadillo. However, with the right attachments, many of these are more than capable of performing at a high level.
B-Tier
- LK24
- ICR-1
- Man-O-War
- KN-44
- Swordfish
- HBRa3
These are those middle-of-the-pack guns, a growing category after the developers looked to make as many of the game's arsenal of weapons viable picks.
There are a few in here that were buffed in previous seasons, namely the ICR-1 and LK24.
The ICR-1 saw its first damage range, chest multiplier, and headshot multiplier increased substantially. It is a gun with many fans, and with the right attachments, it's a great pick.
It's not clear yet if that elevates it into the A- or even S-tier, but it certainly has the potential to do so.
Other notable guns here are the KN-44 and Man-O-War.
C-Tier
- M4
- BK57
- FR .556
- EM2
The FR .556 was buffed recently, making it a bit more mobile, but it doesn't look like it will be enough to make it a truly effective gun and, thus, remains in the C-tier until further notice.
The M4 will be as popular as ever but is still not meta.
The BK57 could arguably be a little higher, possessing good damage and a high fire rate, but rival guns keep it down.
The game's newest assault rifle, the EM2, takes its place in the C-tier. This full-auto bullpup doesn't quite have the fire rate to compete with some of the best guns in the class, and the race to unlock it will be purely for the collectors.
D-Tier
- M16
The worst assault rifle in the game received a buff; it got a new signature attachment, changing the gun's firing mode from burst to full-auto.
The attachment greatly improves the M16, but not enough for it to bring it out of the D-tier. Moreover, M16 has failed to receive any buffs with the Season 6 update. So, stay away.
