PUBG Mobile in 2025 has a bunch of maps, each with its own feel—think Sanhok’s jungles, Erangel’s open fields, Miramar’s deserts, Vikendi’s snowy towns, compact Livik, and more. Picking the right weapons can make or break your game. Here’s a rundown of solid weapon combos that work across all maps, updated for 2025’s balance changes and suited for close, medium, or long-range fights.

1. Vector and M416

Vector Pubg Mobile
Vector has the smallest ammo capacity.

Best for: Close to Medium-Range Fights on Any Map

  • Vector: This SMG is a beast for up-close battles. It shoots fast and stays steady with the right attachments, perfect for hot spots like Pochinki (Erangel), Los Leones (Miramar), Bootcamp (Sanhok), or Midstein (Livik). It starts with a 19-round mag, but grab an extended one for 35 rounds to drop enemies quick. Slap on a suppressor, extended quick-draw mag, and vertical foregrip for best results.
  • M416: This assault rifle is your all-purpose tool. It handles close and mid-range fights easily, and with a 6x scope (tweaked to 3x), it can even hit farther targets. Load it up with a tactical stock, angled foregrip, compensator, and extended quick-draw mag for pinpoint accuracy. It’s great for maps like Erangel or Vikendi where you need to switch things up.

Why It’s Good: The Vector owns tight spaces like Georgopol crates or Sanhok’s Paradise Resort, while the M416 covers mid-range and some long shots. Both use 9mm and 5.56mm ammo, which you’ll find everywhere.

2. Beryl M762 and AWM

Best for: Aggressive Play with Long-Range Power

  • Beryl M762: This AR hits hard with 7.62mm rounds and a fast fire rate, ideal for close to mid-range scraps. It’s got some kick, but a compensator, half-grip, and extended quick-draw mag keep it under control. It shines in city fights like Hacienda del Patrón (Miramar) or Goroka (Vikendi) and can wipe squads fast.
  • AWM: This airdrop-only sniper rifle is a game-changer, one-shotting heads even through level 3 helmets. Pair it with an 8x scope and suppressor for sneaky long-range kills. It’s perfect for open areas like Erangel’s fields or Miramar’s deserts where you can post up on hills.

Why It’s Good: The Beryl tackles fast, in-your-face fights, while the AWM locks down long-range. They mostly share 7.62mm ammo (except AWM’s .300 Magnum), so you’re not hunting for multiple ammo types. Great for players who want to dominate any map.

3. QBU and QBZ (Sanhok and Vikendi Exclusive)

Best for: Map-Specific Loadouts for Sanhok and Vikendi

  • QBZ: Only found on Sanhok and Vikendi, this AR is a solid pick for close to mid-range fights. It’s like a better SCAR-L, using 5.56mm ammo. Add a compensator, vertical foregrip, and extended quick-draw mag to make it sing in Sanhok’s jungles or Vikendi’s snowy streets.
  • QBU: This DMR, also exclusive to Sanhok and Vikendi, swaps out the Mini-14. It’s great for medium to long-range shots, with low recoil and a bipod that steadies it when you’re prone. Equip an AR suppressor, 6x scope, and extended mag for spots like Sanhok’s Ruins or Vikendi’s Castle.

Why It’s Good: The QBZ and QBU both use 5.56mm ammo and share AR attachments, keeping things simple. They’re built for Sanhok’s close-up brawls and Vikendi’s mix of city and open fights.

4. UMP45 and MK14

Ump45

Best for: Balanced Setup for Solo or Squad Play

  • UMP45: This SMG is dependable for close-range fights, with 2025 updates making it even steadier. It uses .45 ACP ammo, which is easy to find, and works great in tight maps like Livik or Karakin (think Al Habar or Bahr). Add a suppressor, light grip, and extended quick-draw mag for quiet, sustained fire.
  • MK14: This airdrop DMR doubles as a full-auto AR when needed. Its 7.62mm rounds pack a punch, and with a compensator, extended mag, and 6x scope, it’s deadly at medium to long ranges. It’s a strong pick for mixed terrain like Miramar’s hills or Erangel’s fields.

Why It’s Good: The UMP45 handles CQC, while the MK14 takes care of mid to long-range. It’s a versatile setup for solo players or squads, especially on fast-paced maps like Livik.

5. Groza and SLR

Best for: High-Damage Airdrop Combo

  • Groza: This airdrop AR is a monster for close to mid-range, with 7.62mm power and a fast fire rate. It comes ready to roll, but a suppressor and extended mag make it even better. It’s perfect for aggressive pushes in spots like Mylta Power (Erangel) or Bootcamp (Sanhok).
  • SLR: This DMR hits like a truck with 7.62mm rounds, great for medium to long-range shots. Add a compensator, cheek pad, and 8x scope for precision. It’s ideal for holding ground in Miramar’s ridges or Vikendi’s snowfields.

Why It’s Good: Both use 7.62mm ammo, so you’re not juggling inventory. It’s a high-damage setup for players who chase airdrops and want to dominate squad fights on any map.

Tips for All Maps in 2025

  • Know Your Map: Sanhok and Livik are all about close fights, so lean on SMGs like Vector or UMP45. Erangel and Miramar need snipers like AWM or SLR for open areas. Vikendi and Karakin call for mixed loadouts.
  • Gear Up Right: Grab suppressors for stealth, compensators for control, and extended quick-draw mags for longer fights. Scopes (3x to 8x) help you adapt to each map’s ranges.
  • Ammo Smarts: Stick to weapons with shared ammo (like 5.56mm for M416/QBZ or 7.62mm for Beryl/SLR) to avoid running dry, especially on loot-light maps like Miramar.
  • Play the Terrain: Use high ground on Miramar, jungle cover in Sanhok, or buildings in Vikendi to stay alive.
