Best Loadouts for COD: Mobile Season 8 Ranked Multiplayer
5. R9 Shotgun
The R9 is the sole shotgun in this list, as the sniper-shotgun hybrid. Not to mention its reliable bullet spread accuracy, and quick follow-up shots that puts it level above than any other shotgun in the game. Although the Jack 12 is expected to dominate once the thermite rounds are introduced, the R9 is currently the go-to shotgun. Players can also maximize its fire rate by holding the shoot button for quicker follow-up shots.

4. SKS
The SKS continues to reign supreme in long-range engagements. Capable of one-tapping to the head from anywhere and two-tapping with upper-body shots, it’s deadly. However, the SKS’s drawbacks include requiring multiple fingers for effective use, punishing missed shots, and higher hit flinch than other guns like assault rifles.

3. MG42 LMG
Though powerful, the MG42 has slipped in rank due to its limited ability to consistently kill in fewer taps at longer ranges. It still has excellent damage output due to its high fire rate but lacks the mobility and bullet spread accuracy of some alternatives. It remains a solid LMG choice, particularly with the Mythic variant, which comes with a pre-built red dot sight.

2. Odin
The Odin has emerged stronger after receiving a buff this season, with a notable improvement in bullet spread accuracy thanks to the monolithic suppressor no longer having a downside. This effectively turns the Odin into a fully automatic SKS, making it highly lethal for players with accurate aim, especially with the Mythic variant. The recently added LAG 53 might pale in comparison to overall effectiveness but players looking for a challenge can definitely checkout our gunplay guide for LAG 53.

1. BP50
The BP50 holds the top spot once again. Even after a damage nerf, it remains incredibly dominant within 35 meters. It boasts solid iron sights, the fastest fire rate among assault rifles, and a rapid-fire barrel with virtually no downside. Despite being nerfed multiple times, the BP50 continues to be the go-to weapon for most players, overshadowing almost every other gun in the game.

Additionally, there are a few long standing favorites that have received notable buffs this season making them interesting options. The QQ9’s 10mm ammo got a lower arm buff from 1.1x to 1.2x damage, improving its consistency. The UL 736, the long-range dominator, has received a hit flinch buff, making it more accurate, especially at long range.
