Overview
The M416 is the undisputed king of PUBG Mobile and has maintained its dominance throughout 2026. With an astounding 85% usage rate among professional players, this assault rifle is less of a weapon and more of an extension of the player’s will.
What makes the M416 special isn’t raw damage—it’s the perfect balance of versatility, stability, and reliability. When fully equipped with attachments, it becomes the most controllable assault rifle in the game, capable of laser-beam accuracy at distances up to 100 meters.
💡 Pro Tip: The M416’s recoil predictability, when equipped with a Tactical Stock, mitigates the “horizontal shake” added in Version 4.2, allowing high-tier players to maintain spray patterns within a tight radius at 100 meters.

Pro Tips
1. Prioritize Tactical Stock — This single attachment transforms the M416. Find it before engaging if possible.
2. 6x Scope Trick — Equip a 6x and zoom out to 3x for the cleanest mid-range optic in the game.
3. Pre-fire corners — The 40-round extended mag allows for aggressive pre-firing tactics.
4. Gyroscope users — The M416’s predictable recoil makes it the best weapon for gyroscope players.
5. Range awareness — Don’t spray at 150m+. Switch to tap-firing for targets beyond 150 meters.
The M416 isn’t just a meta weapon—it’s the meta weapon. If you can only master one weapon in PUBG Mobile, make it the M416.
