Best Assault Rifles in CODM Season 8
Here are top three assault rifles to use right now:
1. DR-H
DR-H is the best assault rifle to use in the game right now. You must equip OTM Mag.
DR-H deals very high damage which can 3 shots target at all ranges. It's also beginner friendly with the low recoil control and medium fire rate which requires at least decent aim to master the gun.
DR-H is also very versatile in terms of loadout build, you can build toward aggressive playstyle as well as tactical playstyle.
Best DR-H Attachments
Muzzle: Tactical Suppressor.
Barrel: OWC Ranger.
Stock: No Stock.
Ammunition: 25 Round OTM Mag.
Rear Grip: Granulated Grip Tape.
2. ODEN
ODEN performance is almost the same as DR-H but it requires some aiming skills to master the weapon.
For the past season, ODEN is making its appearance on the pro scene and high ranked lobbies. This gun has a very fast time to kill with the ability to 2-3 shots target at all ranges.
We decided to rank it second because of the low fire rate, and moderate recoil needed to be accurate with this gun, for veterans there are no problems to control it, but for new players, you might struggle a bit during your first try.
Best ODEN Attachments
Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor.
Barrel: OWC Ranger.
Perk: FMJ.
Ammunition: Extended Mag A.
Rear Grip: Granulated Grip Tape.
3. RAM-7
Ranking third is the RAM-7, a brand new AR released in Season 8.
The RAM-7 has the potential to be the best assault rifle in the game if you're using it right. It deals great damage accurately, has a very fast fire rate, and fast time to kill.
RAM-7 is also the only weapon that features the new movement system from CODM, this is great for both aggressive and tactical playstyle since they can peek more efficiently without showing much of themself from their position.
Best RAM-7 Attachments
Muzzle: Tactical Suppressor.
Barrel: FSS Ranger.
Stock: XRK Melee Stock.
Underbarrel: Tactical Foregrip.
Rear Grip: Granulated Grip Tape.
Best SMGs in CODM Season 8
Here are top three SMGs that is leading the current meta:
1. USS 9
USS 9 is still in fact the best gun in Call of Duty Mobile Season 8. Surviving yet another nerfs and still is the most used gun in the game.
When you have an SMG that can outgun any assault rifles at ranges there's almost no point to use any other gun beside the USS 9, the recoil is very low, the fast ttk, the high damage, the fast fire rate, I mean the USS 9 has it all.
It's the leader of high mobility and fast time to kill meta, and if you want to win at high rank lobbies, you almost seem forced to use this smg, because 50% of players in high ranked matches only use this gun.
Best USS 9 Attachments
Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor.
Barrel: 13.1" First Responder.
Stock: Standard-Issue Wood Stock.
Ammunition: .41 AE 32-Round Mags.
Rear Grip: Granulated Grip Tape.
2. VMP
VMP stands behind USS 9 is the second best smg to use in this season. It's the true SMG that shines in close range but drops performance in mid to long range, which is how SMG is supposed to work anyway.
VMP is well known for its fast mobility, great for aggressive playstyle, very high close range damage produces a very fast time to kill, and controllable recoil which is friendly to new players as well.
Overall, the VMP deserved second spot just because USS 9 is more powerful at longer range when compared to the VMP.
Best VMP Attachments
Muzzle: Phoenix Suppressor
Barrel: Tactical Lightweight Barrel
Stock: Bandit Adjustable Pad
Underbarrel: VX Pineapple Grip
Rear Grip: Phoenix Grip Set
3. CX-9
CX-9 ranks as the third best smg to use in this meta, it's a versatile weapon that you can build to fit any playstyles that you want.
The CX-9 deals high damage, fast fire rate, and great mobility, it's like the lower performance USS 9, and in close range it's not good as the VMP, which is why it is in the third spot.
Best CX9 Attachments
Muzzle: CX-23S.
Stock: CX-FR.
Underbarrel: Tactical Foregrip A.
Ammunition: 50 Round Drums.
Rear Grip: CX-9 Ace Grip.
Best Snipers in CODM Season 8
Here are the two most accurate snipers that you can use in Season 8:
1. LW3-Tundra
The LW3-Tundra is a true one shot kill sniper at any range. it also has good mobility and quick time to scope.
Mastering the LW3-Tundra is as easy as it can get, you need to just aim at the target upper chest area and its bullet speed + accuracy will get the job done.
Best LW3-Tundra Attachments
Muzzle: Tactical Suppressor.
Barrel: 28.2" Tiger Team.
Stock: Bandit Steady Stock.
Ammunition: 7 Rnd.
Rear Grip: Airborne Elastic Wrap.
2. DL Q33
DL Q33 is the most beloved sniper by the veteran and the OG CODM players and it still is the second best sniper in the game.
The DL Q33 is also a true one shot kill sniper at any range, but since we're in the mobility meta, having great accuracy alone won't win the top spot.
Some of the players I've played with still prefer the DL over the Tundra, just to get that nostalgic feeling when sniping.
Best DL Q33 Attachments
Barrel: MIP Light.
Stock: YKM Combat Stock.
Laser: OWC Laser - Tactical.
Perk: Sleight of Hand.
Ammunition: Extended Mag A.
Best Marksman in CODM Season 8
Here are two of the leading marksman meta in the game:
1. Type 63
This is the most powerful marksman in the game right now, but there's a catch.
Some pros love it, some pros want to ban it from competitive matches, but in high ranked lobby matches not as much of the Type 63 is being used. Why?
That's because the Type 63 is the hardest rifle to master, it's true two shot to kill weapon at all ranges that requires high aiming knowledge, good tapping trigger, and great recoil management to shine.
This seems to be turn down for new players, players that don't like to semi-tap their weapon, and casual players. But if you're reading this and want a new challenge that is absolutely worth it for you to master, the Type 63 is waiting for you.
Best Type 63 Attachments
Muzzle: GRU Silencer.
Barrel: 16.4" Titanium.
Stock: KGB Pad.
Magazine: GRU Mag Clamp.
Rear Grip: Field Tape.
2. SKS
Standing behind the Type 63 is the SKS, this is the easier version of the Type 63.
The SKS is a marksman rifle that two shot kills targets at close to mid range, the damage starts to drop once shooting at longer range targets unlike the Type 63.
The SKS has lower recoil kick compared to Type 63, feels smoother to use but that comes with the sacrifice of long range impact and accuracy.
Best SKS Attachments
Muzzle: Tactical Suppressor.
Barrel: MIP Extended Light Barrel.
Stock: MIP Stalker Stock.
Perk: Disable.
Rear Grip: Granulated Grip Tape.
Best LMGs in CODM Season 8
Here are the two best light machine guns to use in current season:
1. MG 82
MG 82 is the most reliable LMG that you can use for mid to long range combat, it's one of the best gun to use in battle royale.
Despite being in the fast movement meta, the MG 82 is still usable in both multiplayer and battle royale, the long range capabilities with low recoil give those that like to play more tactical a higher advantage over aggressive players.
The fast fire rate combined with high damage are great for playing as a support role, or backline firing. With decent aim needed, you will be able to pick off enemies left and right.
Best MG 82 Attachments
Muzzle: Agency Suppressor.
Barrel: 17.1" Match Grade.
Stock: Bandit Steady Stock.
Foregrip: Striker Foregrip.
Rear Grip: Airborne Elastic Wrap.
2. MG 42
MG 42 ranks as the second best lmg to use in Season 8.
Nothing is bad about MG 42, it deals high damage, great fire rate, and low recoil control, although when using it, you will feel a little bit slower compared to when using the MG 82 and that is the main reason why it is in the second spot right now.
Best MG 42 Attachments
Muzzle: Scythe Compensator.
Stock: Krausnick S91mg.
Grip: MK6 PARA.
Magazine: 8MM Jaeger 100 Round Fast mags.
Rear Grip: Leather Grip.
Best Shotguns in CODM Season 8
Here are two of the best close quarter weapons in the current meta:
1. HS0405
HS0405 is now the best shotgun to use in COD Mobile Season 8, originally first used in china server and now making its appearance in global server as well.
The HS0405 has the highest mobility amongst other shotguns, with several buffs to the weapon, the most important one being better bullet spread accuracy, allowing the player to one shot their target up to close range without having to aim down sight (ADS).
This buff is insanely powerful shotgun, the HS0405 is still a pump action shotgun, which means if you miss your shot, you're most likely losing the gunfight against good players.
Best HS0405 Attachments
Muzzle: Choke.
Barrel: RTC Extended Light Barrel.
Stock: No Stock.
Perk: Speed Up Kill.
Laser: RTC Laser 1 mW.
2. R9-0
Now that the HS0405 replaced KRM-262 place, the second spot fell into R9-0 hand, this semi-automatic shotgun is still being used in a lot of high ranked matches.
While still maintaining the same performance as previous season, any semi-automatic shotgun enjoyer still uses R9-0 as normal, they can run and gun with it, they can eliminate multiple targets with it and missing shot doesn't apply the same punishment as when using the HS0405.
Best R9-0 Attachments
Muzzle: Choke.
Barrel: MIP Extended Light Barrel.
Laser: OWC Laser - Tactical.
Smoothbore: MFT Urban Combat.
Rear Grip: Granulated Grip Tape.
Best Secondary in Season 8: L-CAR 9
The most reliable sidearm in the game, the L-CAR 9 is still the crown of secondary, you can't really go wrong having this as your back up.
The L-CAR 9 is a fully automatic pistol that deals high damage with very fast fire rate, and low recoil control. having this pistol caliber as your back up can help you win more gunfights after your primary weapon runs out of ammo.
Conclusion
In conclusion, we hope our list provides you some baseline of knowing which gun to use if you want to win more gunfights at a certain range, and which gun that stands at the forefront of their class of the Season 8 2025.
