The best PUBG weapons and guns in 2022

What are the best PUBG weapons? This is pretty much the most important question a PUBG: Battlegrounds player can ask themselves. The start of the game is easy: just pick up the first thing that shoots. But after that, you need to make choices. You can only carry two primary weapons, a pistol, a melee weapon, and grenades. If the weapons you're carrying by the end of the game are far worse than those carried by the other remaining players, well, don't count on a chicken dinner.

Finding the best PUBG weapons is tricky though, especially if you're no weapon expert. There are just so many options to choose from, and testing all of them is going to take ages. There are many things you need to consider: power, speed, recoil, reload time, and attachments - to name a few.

That's where this guide comes in, we'll show you the best weapons in a handy overview below. As every weapon type has its own specific use - as you can't really compare sniper rifles to shotguns - we've separated them by category.
