SMGs are arguably the most popular weapon class in PUBG Mobile – but which ones stand out above the rest? Find out in our definitive tier list that ranks all these weapons from best to worst.
Although submachine guns (SMGs) may not be the most powerful weapons, there are many fans of this weapon class in PUBG Mobile.What they lack in range and accuracy, they make up with simplicity and pure power. It's due to this that SMGs are widely used by newcomers for the early game and close-range encounters. Even seasoned veterans appreciate them for their reliability and ease of use.
If you want to know where each SMG stands in the game, check out our tier list. We've carefully considered what each weapon brings to the table to assess their rankings.
All Submachine Guns in PUBG Mobile, Ranked
There are six SMGs available in PUBG Mobile.
SMGs are ideal for short to medium-range combat due to their low recoil, lightweight construction, and fast time-to-kill (TTK). It's these traits that result in these weapons being such a popular pick amongst players.
Our SMG tier list will rank the guns from the S-tier (the best SMGs), the A-tier (average-performing SMGs), and the F-tier (the worst SMGs). We'll also explain why they've found themselves in the tier they are in.
S-Tier
The S-Tier SMGs are:
- UMP45
- MP5K
First place belongs to the UMP45, a versatile SMG that is known for its balanced stats. The UMP45 is a pure implementation of manageable recoil, decent attack range, and good damage multipliers. Its effectiveness can be improved with the right attachments and loadout setup
Coming in second is theMP5K. It has a high fire rate, and low recoil, and proves to be an easy weapon to use. The MP5K is lethal in close-quarters combat because of its extremely fast TTK.
That said, the best SMGs in PUBG Mobile are the UMP45 and MP5K.
A-Tier
The A-Tier SMGs are:
- Tommy Gun
- UZI
- P90
TheTommy Gun andUZI are pretty similar to each other as both of them are known for their incredibly high fire rates.
Still, the Tommy Gun is comparably more of an AR. The firearm has a unique extended drum magazine with a substantial magazine capacity. Combine it with decent damage, and you'll get the perfect option for players who prefer sustained firefights.
The UZI, like the P90, is also a monster for players who love sustained firefights, but it's different. The weapon has a low damage offset by the ability to deliver a flurry of bullets in a few seconds. Still, both guns have a complex recoil pattern compared to other SMGs.
F-Tier
The F-Tier SMGs are:
- Vector
- PP19
Unfortunately, the F-tier contains the worst SMGs you can use in the game. In general, the Vector andPP19 are not recommended unless you have no other choice.
The main reason for their rankings is due to their low damage multipliers that result in unacceptable time-to-kill (TTK) rates. In some cases, even pistols can be more effective than the Vector and PP-19 Bizon. We hope that devs will pay attention to this issue and make Bizon and Vector playable again.
As always, the rankings in this tier list offer insight into which SMG weapons are currently the best in PUBG Mobile. The effectiveness of each weapon may vary depending on the player and their respective skills.
