Battlegrounds Mobile India is an India-specific game that was launched by Krafton as an alternative to the globally popular PUBG Mobile. It is also a fast-paced battle royale game that has multiple different aspects. Players can play in squads or be the lone wolf by playing solo. The game lets you do it all. However, one of the key aspects of a battle royale game is not its players, but the guns and weapons. Battlegrounds Mobile India, or BGMI, presents players with multiple weapon options. These weapons are spread across categories and there is something for every player in the game. 

There can be one problem though, the presence of so many guns can confuse the beginner players. They might not be familiar with the properties of the guns along with their mechanism. Not knowing about the weapons in the game might make the players longer than usual to understand the guns in the game along with the game. On playing the game on the BlueStacks Emulator, we understood that in every category there are some guns that just stand out: guns that are on the list of guns every player wants immediately after they land. This guide will go over these guns. There will 2 guns from every category of weapons. Sidearms and drop-exclusive guns will not be a part of this list. 

Here are all the categories and best guns in Battlegrounds Mobile India:

SMGs are automatic guns, but not assault rifles. These weapons are powerful and have their own advantages. They are ideal for close range fights because of their rate of fire. The best 2 guns in this category function very differently but yield the same result.

Assault rifles are the most sought-after category of guns in the game. There are multiple guns in this category, but there are 2 that stand out of the lot. These 2 guns have a good combination of power and range. Some players might disagree with the mention of these guns, but there is much more to just damage to a gun in Battlegrounds Mobile India. 

LMG or light machine guns are weapons that come with a lot of power but are heavy. This means that these guns restrict the movement of a character, meaning that players might not be able to move as fast or as smoothly as compared to moving while holding any other gun. There are only 2 LMGs in Battlegrounds Mobile India and one of them is drop-exclusive. Therefore, we only talk about the DP-28.

Some players like to call this gun one of the most well-rounded guns in the game. It has power, it has stability, it is good with range and is also very easily accessible. The gun shoots 7.62 mm bullets and is available on every map of the game. The gun does not have a lot of options for attachments, but the fact that it fits perfectly with the 4x scope says a lot about the control of the gun. The default magazine of the gun comes with 47 bullets, which is good to take down any enemy. It is also more than most assault rifles with an extended magazine attached.

Designated marksman rifles are weapons that can be considered a good alternative to snipers but, in reality, are much more than just that. DMRs are guns that are easy to control and aim with. These guns are powerful, and even beginners can get a good control on these guns. The only problem with these guns is that they are not auto-fire. So players need to keep tapping to fire.

Possibly the most powerful category of guns in the game are Snipers. Snipers need a lot of practise and precision to master, and can be a little difficult for beginner players to get a good hold on the guns in this category. Everyone knows that the AWM is the best sniper in the game, but since it is a drop-exclusive gun, it did not make the list.

With the complete setup of attachment, the gun becomes even more stable. It is a lightweight gun and, therefore, does not restrict the character’s movement in any way.

• M24

Some might argue that it is the best sniper in the game. This sniper has the capability to take down a Level 2 helmet with one headshot. This means that the gun can do significant damage to the enemy. The recoil and reload time between bullets might seem a bit too much for a lot of players, but it compensates for that with the power that it delivers. The range of the gun is also very good, making it possible for players to take a hill-top or a ridge to take down enemies.

Practicing with these guns and getting a good hold of these guns can take you a long way ahead in the game and help you climb the rankings faster. This is a very basic guide, but it will give you an idea about the nature of the guns in the game. No gun is perfect, it depends on practice and your role in your squad that determines what gun might be the best for you and will enhance your performance even further in the game and help you become a better player.
