About HG 40 COD Mobile

The HG 40 is a fully automatic SMG available in COD Mobile. It offers medium recoil and rate of fire and performs best at close to medium range. Appearance-wise, the HG 40 resembles the legendary MP40. As a matter of fact, it's a modernized version of the MP40 from the previous installments of the Call of Duty franchise.

With the right build, the HG 40 in COD Mobile can be a real threat.

Compared to other submachine guns in the game, the HG 40 deals less damage and fires slower. However, it makes up for those disadvantages with longer range and non-existent recoil. It can be a good pickup for big maps. The HG 40 also received a buff a while back, increasing its fire spread.

  • Fire Rate: 67
