What are the best weapons to use in COD: Mobile Season 7's battle royale mode? The latest season, Elite of the Elite, is now underway, introducing several significant changes and additions.
The weapons meta took a massive shift once again, and it's currently favouring ARs and LMGs over other firearms. The battle royale mode presents a different form of challenge for players, and having the perfect loadout will help you rank up quickly.
While it may not resemble COD: Warzone, the battle royale mode is highly immersive and challenging. There is a host of weapons to choose from in COD: Mobile, and the following list will focus on the most versatile weapons to use in the Isolated and Alcatraz maps.
Best Weapons To Use In COD: Mobile Battle Royale Mode
Assault rifles are currently performing better than before in the COD: Mobile battle royale mode. Season 7 has brought in several mechanical changes that encourage players to make aggressive manoeuvres in the battle royale mode.
Hence, the key to winning every match will be to survive and pick the proper gunfights. Not every weapon can eliminate opponents at mid to long ranges, and this is where assault rifles have the edge in the battle royale mode.
The AK-47 is the long-standing best AR to use in COD: Mobile BR. However, the changes implemented in Season 6 and 7 have buffed several guns in the assault rifle category.

DR-H
Currently, the best assault rifle to use in COD: Mobile's battle royale mode is the DR-H. This weapon is a high-damage, high-recoil assault rifle with a moderate rate of fire. What this boils down to is a weapon where precise fire, especially headshots, can give you the edge over opponents.
Here's our balanced loadout for this weapon, which suits mid and long-range range combat.
- Barrel: OWC Marksman
- Stock: MIP Strike Stock
- Laser: MIP Laser 5mw
- Ammunition: 30 Round OTM Mag
- Rear Grip: Granulated Grip Tape
Landing those headshots will make this weapon unparalleled within 35 meters, especially in that 25-35 meter range. The AK-47 and the Man-O-War are the two other ARs that can devastate opponents at this range.
However, the DR-H has a unique OTM magazine attachment. This buffs the damage on the weapon. Thus, with the OTM equipped on a DR-H, landing a body shot will deal the same amount of damage as a headshot, regardless of range.

Holger-26
The Holger-26 is a hybrid weapon that sits between an LMG and an assault rifle. It categorizes itself as an LMG thanks to its default 100-round high-capacity magazine. However, the magazine is the 5.56 NATO cartridge, the least powerful ammunition type within the LMG category.
Here's our mid and long-range loadout for the Holger-26:
- Barrel: MIP Light Barrel (Short)
- Stock: No Stock
- Laser: OWC Laser - Tactical
- Ammunition: Holger-26K Double-Stack Carbine Mag
- Rear Grip: Granulated Grip Tape
The Holger-26's small size allows for a high fire rate, manageable recoil, and some of the best mobility compared to other weapons in this class.

KRM-262
The KRM-262 is currently considered the best shotgun in COD: Mobile. Like most weapons in the game, it needs the proper attachments for maximum efficiency. Just simply running with the KRM-262 will not get you any kills in the battle royale mode.
With the right attachments and adaptive gameplay, players can become lethal with this shotgun at close range.
The following loadout is suitable for aggressive gameplay while dealing with multiple enemies at a time in COD: Mobile's BR mode.
- Muzzle: Marauder Suppressor
- Stock: RTC Strike Stock
- Laser: RTC Laser 1mw
- Barrel: RTC Light Extended
- Rear Grip: Granulated Grip Tape

DL-Q33
Nothing is quite as satisfying as getting precision kills from long range with sniper rifles in COD: Mobile. There are several guns to choose from in this category, but the DL-Q33 is the best sniper rifle in COD: Mobile Season 7.
The following DL-Q33 loadout is the best for mobility and range in the battle royale mode.
- Muzzle: RTC Compensator
- Barrel : Free Floating
- Stock - OWC Ranger Stock
- Laser: OWC Tactical Laser
- Underbarrel: Bipod
To survive in the battle royale mode, you will have to equip a sniper rifle depending on the situation. If you are solo queuing against duos or squads, then it's highly recommended that you run a sniper.
You can also use the Locus, which has also been consistent throughout the seasons in COD: Mobile. The DL-Q33 is currently unavailable as ground loot, so you will have to select your loadouts from supply drops.

QQ9
The QQ9 is a fast-firing rifle with decent damage, and this makes it a perfect choice for close-ranged combat. With the proper adjustments, this weapon can become a lethal threat at both close and mid-range, boasting high accuracy and controllable recoil.
The only trade-off for the QQ9 is its consistency over range and sharp damage drop off.
The QQ9's strength lies in its high fire rate. If you opt instead for the AS-Val, you will not benefit from the improved mobility options that the QQ9 provides. Nevertheless, the QQ9 will always be at a disadvantage in mid and long-range fights. At that range, ARs like AK-47, DR-H, and Man-O-War are most effective
Here are the best attachments for the COD: Mobile QQ9.
- Muzzle: OWC Light Compensator
- Barrel: RTC Recon Tac Long
- Ammunition: 10mm 30 rounds
- Laser: OWC Laser Tactical
- Underbarrel: Ranger Foregrip
