Headshot is a mechanic common in the vast majority of shooting games. It rewards skilled players with the ability to deal massive damage to their enemies, often resulting in an instant kill. PUBG Mobile, in particular, even has several Achievements that players can earn by taking down a certain number of enemies with headshots – Sharpshooter for example.
Each player has their own preferences when it comes which gun they like best in the game. However, some are capable of dealing more headshot damage than others. In this article, we have listed the 5 weapons with the highest headshot damage in PUBG Mobile, excluding Shotguns. Note that in order to keep things consistent, the numbers shown here will not take helmets into account.
1. AWM
The AWM deals 300 damage with a headshot, which is the highest of all weapons available in the game, making it one of the most, if not the most, popular Sniper rifles. This weapon has a range of 100 and uses .200 rounds. Naturally, it can instantly kill your enemy if you successfully pull off a headshot.
In the classic mode, this rifle is available exclusively in air drops. If you have a Flare Gun, you can use it to actively call an air drop for a chance to get the AWM too. It is compatible with all types of scope and is very powerful in the later stages of the game. Then, the circle is relatively small, meaning players can easily spot and eliminate enemies from a distant. The only limit to this gun is that its ammo is rather hard to come by.
2. M24
If you have trouble finding the AWM or obtaining bullets for it, the M24 is your second best option. It boasts a damage number of 231 per headshot, and a major advantage that it has over the AWM is that it uses 7.62 ammo, which can be very easily found on the map. Equip it with a 6x or 8x scope as well as a suppressor and you’re set to snipe down enemies without compromising your exact position. It also supports other attachments to improve stability.
