PUBG Lite and PUBG Mobile Lite are the less graphically intense versions of the same game. It has similar maps, gameplay mechanics, and weapons. The multiplayer nature of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has made sure that it's completely balanced to a point that nearly every gun in the game can be used to its full effect with the right playstyle in the right mode. This is why there cannot be a clear list of weapons that are most effective or powerful in the game.

There are, however, weapons that anyone can use in any playstyle, which is what makes them the top guns in this game. Let us check some of them out.

Updated May 16th, 2021 by Ritwik Mitra: It goes without saying that PUBG is easily one of the biggest and most prominent battle royales of all time. In fact, one can even give it the moniker of being the most accessible battle royale around, given the fact that PUBG Mobile and PUBG Lite have allowed a larger swath of gamers to get into this highly addictive and challenging title. The latter is especially popular in this regard, with the following weapons being the cream of the crop that will help a person edge all the more closer to the elusive chicken dinner.

15 AWM (Accuracy International Arctic Warfare Magnum)

The Accuracy International Arctic Warfare Magnum — referred to as AWM in the game — is easily one of the best snipers in the entire game and a valuable find for players who want to increase their chances of winning a game in PUBG Lite.

Serving as one of the deadliest guns in the entire game, players who manage to master the AWM will find themselves taking potshots for fun in the game after getting this weapon.

14 M24

Speaking of sniper rifles, one can't help but bring up the M24 in this conversation as well. While the power of this weapon might pale in comparison to the AWM, there's no denying the fact that the M24 is still a useful weapon to have in a firefight.

Pairing this weapon off with another firearm that takes care of enemies at close range will turn the player into an absolute monster in combat. Speaking of which...

13 AKM

Players who like to get up close and personal during firefights will definitely find themselves relying on the AKM more often than not after realizing the immense potential of this weapon at close range.

Any player who ends up mastering these weapons in close-combat situations will definitely become a force to be reckoned with in the game.

12 UMP9

By itself, the UMP9 might not really be all that helpful a weapon, especially since it's pretty much only useful in close quarters. However, players who pair off this long-range weapon will notice that pretty much all their bases in combat are covered.

Any weapon that works well at medium to long-range goes along perfectly with the UMP9 and ensures that players will never get caught between a rock and a hard place during their quest to survive this tense battle royale.

11 Groza

The OTs-14 Groza is easily one of the best weapons in PUBG Lite, featuring massive damage on par with the AKM along with the second-highest rate of fire in the entire game!

Any player who manages to get their hands on this title will certainly find the final moments of a tense match all the more bearable due to the superior firepower afforded by this weapon.

10 Vector

Vector in menu in PUBG Lite

Vector is viral among many players in the game, and the reason is quite simple. It is blazingly fast and mighty. It is the gun that provides more advantage in close range than long-range, but this still doesn't stop it from being pretty stable for its overall firing rate.

The ammo type for this gun is 9mm, which is the one used in most handguns and is readily available. The weapon has some decent attachments, including the extended mag, which increases the ammo capacity of the gun to 33.

9 M249

M249 in menu in PUBG Lite

M249 is a light machine gun that players can find in the airdrops. Being an airdrop weapon, it is unique, mostly because of its insane firing rate and overall ammo-capacity. The gun carries 100 ammo in one magazine.

This means a player with this gun can probably eliminate a whole team in a single click. The weapon uses the green 5.56mm ammo type, which is also frequently available around the map. There are many different sights that players can attach to this, as its range is also pretty incredible.

8 QBZ/SCAR-L

QBZ/SCAR-L in menu in PUBG Lite

QBZ (or SCAR-L) are pretty similar and very stable assault rifles. These guns are a favorite to many players because of their sheer reliability. The arms are balanced from power to range, making them a choice of weapon for close and long-range battles.

These weapons are straightforward to handle as they also pack decent stability. Another thing that goes in their favor is the firing rate and ammo type. These guns also offer compatibility with many attachments, adding to the diversity of their usage.

7 S1897

S1897 in menu in PUBG Lite

S1897 is the 2nd best shotgun in the game because of its stability. Being a shotgun, it is beneficial in the short-range. The gun is certainly not good for long-range but can be used with the Duckbill attachment to shorten its overall spread. It uses the standard 12 Gauge shotgun ammo with a small magazine size of five.

The lack of any extended magazine for this is probably this weapon's biggest downside. However, knowing its power, players will not have to worry about ammo, when the enemies will drop in one click.

6 DP-28

DP-28 in menu in PUBG Lite

DP-28 is another light machine gun and is a rare one. It is one of the best weapons in the game because of the ammo size, fire rate, and stability. The gun carries forty-seven rounds of yellow 7.62mm Ammo, which is readily available to grab throughout the map.

It is a very stable gun, especially looking at the power and stability. The biggest turn-off for players when using this gun is its lack of modification slots, as it only has space for a scope or sight attachment.

5 Kar98K

KAR98K in menu in PUBG Lite

Kar98K (or Karabiner 98 Kurz) is a legendary bolt action rifle. It is a classic battle-tested weapon built for medium to long-range fight. It uses the 7.62mm ammo rounds, which are readily available and has multiple attachment slots, which can add to the usefulness of this gun.

This gun can be turned into a predatory weapon by adding bullet loops and suppressor or an unbeatable sniper by adding a cheek pad and 15x scope. The only downside for this gun is its ammo capacity, but other than that, it is pretty much bulletproof.

4 S12K

S12K in menu in PUBG Lite

S12K is, hands down, the best shotgun in the game. Top reasons for that is its ammo capacity and attachment slots. This is the gun that can be used in short-range as well as medium-range to its full effect. It is a one-click killing machine if aimed right.

Similar to the Kar98K above, the attachments in this gun can make it a completely different weapon. Adding a suppressor to this will make it a weapon of choice for silent assassins. At the same time, adding a duckbill will make it a threat for people who do not like to be up-close during the battles.

3 Micro UZI

Micro UZI in menu in PUBG Lite

Micro UZI is a handgun-sized submachine gun. It is small, compact, and swift. It uses the same 9mm ammo type from pistols and has a lot of attachment slots. Micro UZI has a particular stock, which adds to the overall reliability of this weapon. It is a player's favorite side weapon of choice.

Why? Because it supports a variety of attachments, which makes a difference to the overall gameplay. It may not be a primary weapon, but it certainly can be the best secondary weapon to keep in the backpack.

2 Tommy Gun

Tommy Gun is the stereotypical weapon of choice for the gangsters and criminals. It is a classic gun whose design speaks of the time it comes from, but it packs a lot more than just nostalgia. The only downside of this weapon is the lack of scope.

It is a potent gun with the right ammo size and a possibility to extend the magazine. It's stable, can be useful in range, and has an excellent firing rate as well. It supports the blue .45 ACP ammo and can be used with a suppressor to dominate situations easily.

1 M416

M416 in menu in PUBG Lite

M416 is hands down the most reliable and stable weapon in the game. It has six attachment slots, which means a vast potential to modify the gun. But on top, it supports almost 20 different attachments within those slots.

This means virtually everything players find in one location, will have something that can be used with this gun. It uses the vastly available green 5.56mm ammo and has excellent damage and firing rate ratio. This is a weapon any player can apply even if it's their first time.
