Even though LMGs are not meta in PUBG Mobile, they are some decent weapons that you must try. We've ranked all of the LMGs in a tier list.
With a high magazine capacity, impressive versatility, and suppressing fire, LMGs are the game-changers you need for victory in PUBG Mobile.
Even though they lose competition in long-range encounters, short-range fights prove that light machine guns are still worth the attention compared to other weapon types
Discover the best LMG in PUBG Mobile with our expertly crafted tier list. We have evaluated each LMG's stats, handling, and strategic value to give you an edge in the game. Check our list and become a true LMG maestro.
PUBG Mobile LMG Tier List
There are currently three LMGs in PUBG Mobile. With such a small pool of weapons in the roster, it is absolutely pivotal that you choose the right one.
We'll help with you that in our tier list. It starts with the S-Tier (best) and ends with the F-Tier (worst). Here's a look at the respective tiers.
S-Tier
The S-Tier LMGs are:
- MG3
The best LMG in PUBG Mobile is the MG3. The weapon has two firing modes: close-range at 990 rounds per minute and long-range at 660 rounds per minute. Still, we highly recommend using only the one with 990 rounds per minute as the MG3 is created primarily for close-range combat.
In update 15.1, the MG3 received decent improvements. The developers released the pure Damage and Body Damage Multiplier from 1 to 1.05. They also decreased its recoil which made the MG3 recoil a bit more controlled.
A-Tier
The A-Tier LMGs are:
- DP-28
While both the MG3 and DP-28 are LMGs, they have distinct differences. The DP-28 is a highly controlled firearm with a lower fire rate than the MG3 but has higher velocity bullets that don't drop in long range. That provides a better in-game experience during long-range fights.
So, why did we put the DP-28 in A-Tier? The weapon has a high reloading time and a magazine size of 47 bullets in one round, which is slightly less compared to the MG3. The weapon also gets destroyed by the MG3 if we are talking about short-range encounters - which are the most common scenario in PUBG Mobile.
F-Tier
The F-Tier LMGs are:
- M249
The M249 is ranked last in our LMG tier list. Despite having 100 rounds of 5.56mm ammunition per magazine, its low recoil, and a high rate of fire (similar to the M16A4), it is outperformed by other LMGs as well as ARs and SMGs.
As always, the rankings in this tier list offer insight into the current meta for PUBG Mobile. The effectiveness of each weapon may vary depending on the player and their respective skills.
