Here are our picks for the best guns in BGMI for Beginners.

Battlegrounds Mobile India has a number of weapons to choose from. These weapons have different recoil, magazine size, attachment slots and spray etc. Some guns are great for short and mid range combat, while others are great for sniping enemies from afar. While battle royale veterans may be familiar with the details of most guns, newer BGMI players may have a hard time deciding which guns to pick up. In this article, we look at some of the best guns in BGMI for beginners. Once you improve your aim and other gameplay mechanics like spray control, you can try out other weapons to figure out what suits your playstyle the best.

Top 5 Picks For Best Guns in BGMI for Beginners

Scar L - AR

Scar - L assault rifle in game.

Battlegrounds Mobile India

  • Ammo Type: 5.56 mm.

  • Damage: 43.

  • Fire Rate: 576 rounds/minute.

The Scar L is an easy-to-find assault rifle (AR) suited for mid to long range combat. It is quite stable in full auto mode even with a 4x scope and can also be switched to single fire and used as a make-shift sniper rifle. It also has a quieter muzzle sound and supports a number of attachments. The disadvantages of this gun are the horizontal recoil and slow bullet speed. Also, the ironsight on this gun isn’t great, so finding a scope for the Scar L becomes important.

DP28 - LMG

DP28 light machine gun in game.

Battlegrounds Mobile India

  • Ammo Type: 7.62 mm.

  • Damage: 51.

  • Fire Rate: 550 rounds/minute.

The high damage DP28 is easy to find and is quite stable due to a low fire rate. It has a very low recoil due to its bipod which can be used while proning, helping you take out targets at long range with ease. The 47 round magazine is still good enough for extended fights without reloading, however, it has a high reload time. The gun also doesn’t have a lot of attachment options but for the most part, find a red dot sight and you’ll be set.

UMP45 - SMG

UMP45 is a solid choice if you're looking for something light and with low recoil.

Battlegrounds Mobile India

  • Ammo Type: .45 ACP.

  • Damage: 40.

  • Fire Rate: 670 rounds/minute.

The UMP45 has the second highest damage for SMGs behind the Tommy Gun but is easier to find. Its already low recoil can be reduced with a foregrip and compensator. With an extended magazine attachment you can increase its low magazine capacity, as well as decreasing the time required to reload it, allowing an overall greater amount of firepower.

M416 - AR

M416 is a great all-round choice for new players.

Battlegrounds Mobile India

An all-rounder, popular assault rifle, the M416 is a highly customizable gun that may not deal as much damage as other 7.62 mm guns but with several attachments slots available, it can be modified for your playstyle and lasts you the entire match. The gun has a very low recoil, great for close and mid range combat. This gun is a good overall pick for beginners in BGMI and a good gun to start polishing your aim and spray control.

M249 - LMG

M249 light machine gun also comes with a bipod, making it one of best guns in BGMI for beginners.

Battlegrounds Mobile India

  • Ammo Type: 5.56 mm.

  • Damage: 45.

  • Fire Rate: 800 rounds/minute.

This gun has a high fire rate but low recoil and decent stability. It comes with a 75 round magazine, which can be extended to 150 rounds with an extended magazine attachment. This means you can pick extended fights without having to reload your magazine. M249 is also a great choice for late game. However, the gun has a longer reload time.

It comes with a bipod which can be used while proning, allowing for more precise shots at long-range enemies. When compared to the other LMG on this list, M249 has a lot more ammo and more attachment options compared to the DP28.
