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.

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.

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.
