Call of Duty: Mobile Season 10 tier list
This ranking focuses on Multiplayer, where the meta is easiest to measure. It considers time to kill, recoil, mobility, range and how forgiving each gun is. Attachments matter a lot in COD Mobile, so a well built B tier gun can still beat a badly built S tier one.
| Tier | Weapons |
|---|---|
| S | QXR (SMG), DR-H (AR), CBR4 (SMG), AS VAL (AR), Locus (Sniper) |
| A | QQ9 (SMG), PP19 Bizon (SMG), CR-56 AMAX (AR), Holger 26 (LMG), Man-O-War (AR), KRM-262 (Shotgun), DL Q33 (Sniper) |
| B | PPSh-41 (SMG), Static-HV (SMG), MX9 (SMG), Pharo (SMG), Bruen MK9 (LMG), Signal 50 (new) |
| C | Type 25 (AR), GKS (SMG), M4 (AR), M16 (AR), ICR-1 (AR) |
The Signal 50 sits in B tier for now simply because it is brand new. Give it a few weeks of testing before you level it up as your main weapon.
What changed in Season 10
The anniversary patch did not flip the whole meta, but it pushed a few guns up and pulled one down. These are the changes that matter most for your loadout, based on the Season 10 patch notes:
- CBR4 (buff): damage in the first range went from 24 to 25, and every damage range was extended (for example, the first range now reaches 14 meters instead of 13). It now keeps its fast kill time at longer distances.
- PPSh-41 (buff): less recoil and a much tighter bullet spread when firing from the hip in Multiplayer, which makes it great for aggressive players.
- Pharo (buff): the delay between bursts dropped from 150 ms to 118 ms, so the burst SMG kills faster if you land your shots.
- Bruen MK9 (buff): a higher chest damage multiplier (1.1x to 1.2x) that helps the LMG win more fights at mid range.
- Static-HV (nerf): damage in the third range went from 19 to 18 and the second range was shortened from 14 to 13.5 meters, so it falls behind the CBR4 and QXR outside close quarters.
Why the S tier guns are on top
- QXR: very fast, very mobile and easy to control. It wins most close range fights and is the safest SMG pick right now.
- DR-H: hits hard with stable recoil, which makes it the most reliable assault rifle for mid range lanes.
- CBR4: the Season 10 buff turns it into a real alternative to the QXR, with better reach on medium sized maps.
- AS VAL: plays almost like an SMG with assault rifle damage. It shreds up close but needs some recoil control.
- Locus: the best sniper for players who can aim, with quick and clean one shot picks.
Best gun for each class
| Class | Best pick | Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Assault Rifle | DR-H | AS VAL or CR-56 AMAX |
| SMG | QXR | CBR4 or QQ9 |
| LMG | Holger 26 | Bruen MK9 |
| Sniper | Locus | DL Q33 |
| Shotgun | KRM-262 | none close to it |
Best guns for Verdansk (Battle Royale)
Verdansk is a big map with more than 15 major points of interest, long streets and open fields. That changes what works in Battle Royale compared with Multiplayer:
- Main weapon: an assault rifle you can control at range, like the DR-H or CR-56 AMAX.
- Second weapon: an SMG such as the QXR or CBR4 for buildings like the Prison, Stadium and Superstore.
- For long range players: the DL Q33 or Locus, especially in open areas near the Dam and the Airport.
- Remember the Gulag: your first death sends you to a 1v1 fight. Practice close range duels, because winning brings you back into the match.
Best guns for beginners
Easy to use
- PP19 Bizon: big magazine and gentle recoil
- DR-H: stable and strong at mid range
- Holger 26: forgiving for holding lanes
Leave for later
- Snipers: punishing if you miss
- KRM-262: one miss can lose the fight
- Burst weapons like the Pharo

Frequently asked questions
What is the best gun in COD Mobile Season 10?
The QXR is the strongest overall pick for close range, while the DR-H is the best assault rifle for mid range. The buffed CBR4 is the gun to watch this season.
Is the Static-HV still good?
It is still usable up close, but the Season 10 nerf reduces its damage at range, so the QXR and CBR4 are better choices.
How do I get the Signal 50?
It is in the free tier of the Season 10 Battle Pass. Play matches to earn Battle Pass XP and unlock it.
Will this tier list change during the season?
Yes. COD Mobile often adjusts weapons in mid season updates. We update this page on the same address whenever the meta shifts.
Does the tier list work for Ranked?
Yes. Ranked Multiplayer follows the same meta, so the S and A tier guns are the safest choices there too.
Final thoughts
Season 10 rewards players who stick with proven guns like the QXR and DR-H, while the CBR4 buff gives SMG fans a strong new option. Build one close range and one mid range loadout, try the Signal 50 once you unlock it, and check back here because we will update this tier list as the season goes on.
