About the AWM
AWM stands for Arctic Warfare Magnum with the original design based on some sniper models of the British Armed Force in the 1980s. The rifle first entered service under the code name ‘L96A1’ and was tweaked several times to become much more versatile in different warfare conditions. Apart from the lethality, the use of AWM also revolves around its ease of service and extensibility.
In shooter games like PUBG and PUBG Mobile, most mid-game tactics will come in handy as long as you can get your hands on a sniper rifle and nothing can be mightier than AWM, the godlike sniper gun in PUBG games. When it comes to attacking the enemies from a long range or the circle of death is closing in, AWM simply shows its dominance on the battlefield, even being capable of ‘one-shot-one-kill’ those wearing Level 3 helmets.
Needless to say, AWM can be much more effective in the late game if the player knows how to keep its main downsides under control. For instance, AWM comes paired with .300 Magnum ammo, so all they should do is to have it equipped with an 8x scope then turn into a Grim Sniper!
AWM Stats In PUBG/PUBG Mobile
AWM leaves a base damage of 120 in comparison to Kar 98, which has a base damage of 78. The initial bullet speed of AWM is 945 m/s with a body hit impact power of 40,000. One of the minimal cons of this weapon is that it is hard to find. Since it is a highly damaging weapon, it is found only in supply crates and ammo is limited to only 20 bullets per crate. The AWM Gun has maximum damage and maximum falloff range which is fixed with changing modifications and preferability in the game. It is described in the game described as the ‘monster sniper rifle’ which indeed lives up to its name.

PUBG AWM Sound In PUBG/PUBG Mobile
A lot of players have fallen in love with not only such bolt-action weapons but also their unique sound effects.
Where To Find The AWM In PUBG/PUBG Mobile
The AWM is not available as a standard spawn item on the map. It can only be found in airdrops and flare drops. The ammunition (.300 Magnum) has 20 magazines. The AWM fires these unique magnum rounds which are also only available in airdrops. These are transported to the play area by planes. They usually drop near the center of the zone so players will need to move and rotate to the center for a chance to get an AWM. Players need to be careful since supply drops are hotly contested. However, you can find attachments for AWMs like the muzzle, mag, grip, and scope, anywhere on the map.
AWM is available in Erangel, Miramar, Vikendi, and Sanhok.
