1. Weapons


Weapons are the core tools for eliminating enemies. They are found as floor loot, in crates, or from killed players. Each weapon type has distinct roles. Below are all significant weapons, categorized by class.

1.1 Assault Rifles (ARs)

    • 1.2 Submachine Guns (SMGs)


    Designed for close-quarters combat. Faster fire rates and better hipfire than ARs. Use 9mm, .45 ACP, or 9mm (Vector/MP5K uses 9mm after rework). Low recoil makes them forgiving.

    Semi-auto rifles for mid-to-long range. Higher damage than ARs, lower than snipers. Can equip up to 6x or 8x scopes.
  • Mini-14: Low recoil, fast bullet speed. Reliable. Ammo: 5.56mm.

  • Mk12: More damage than Mini-14, slower fire rate. Requires few attachments. Ammo: 5.56mm.

    2. Attachments


    Attachments modify weapon performance. They are found as floor loot and cannot be crafted. Each weapon has specific attachment slots. Below are the main types.

    2.1 Muzzle Attachments


  • Suppressor: Reduces sound and hides muzzle flash. Most rare. Useful for stealth in all ranges.

  • Compensator: Reduces vertical and horizontal recoil. Helps with spray control.

  • Flash Hider: Reduces muzzle flash and slightly reduces recoil. Middle ground.

  • Choke: For shotguns (S686, S1897, S12K). Tightens pellet spread, increasing effective range.

  • Duckbill: For shotguns (especially S12K). Spreads pellets horizontally. Useful for clearing buildings.


    • 2.2 Grips


  • Vertical Grip: Reduces vertical recoil the most. Perfect for most ARs.

  • Angled Grip: Reduces horizontal recoil. Better for tap-firing.

  • Half Grip: Balanced reduction for both. Good all-round.

  • Light Grip: Reduces vertical recoil after initial shots. Increases weapon sway. Not recommended for spray.

  • Thumb Grip: Improves ADS speed and reduces vertical recoil. Good for snap-aiming.


    • 2.3 Magazine Attachments


  • Extended Magazine: Increases capacity (e.g., M416 from 30 to 40 for ARs; SMGs by 20-25).

  • Quickdraw Magazine: Faster reload, no capacity increase.

  • Extended Quickdraw Magazine: Best of both: more rounds and faster reload.

  • Drum Magazine: For some SMGs (Tommy Gun, Uzi?) Actually Tommy Gun has drum extender, Vector can use extended but not drum; Uzi has 25-round standard, extended goes to 33.


    • 2.4 Sights/Scopes


  • Red Dot Sight: 1x magnification, clear for close-mid.

  • Holographic Sight: 1x with larger reticle, slight block.

  • 2x Scope: Good for mid-range.

  • 3x Scope: Popular for ARs and DMRs. A bit cluttered but great for 100-200m.

  • 4x Scope: Classic sniper scope. Use on snipers, DMRs, ARs (tap).

  • 6x Scope: Variable 3-6x zoom. Can be used on ARs and DMRs. Adjustable.

  • 8x Scope: Fixed high zoom for long-range sniping.

  • 15x Scope : Crate-only extremely rare. Massive zoom, heavy scope sway.


    • 2.5 Stock Attachments


  • Tactical Stock: For M416, SCAR, Vector, UMP45, etc. Improves weapon stability and reduces recoil.

  • Cheek Pad: For sniper rifles (KAR98, SKS, etc.). Reduces sway and improves recoil recovery.

  • Bullet Loops: For shotguns (S686, S1897). Increases reload speed for each shell.

  • AWM Stock: Crate attachment for AWM? Actually AWM doesn't use stock? It uses cheek pad. Some unique attachments exist: e.g., M249 doesn't accept stock.


    • 2.6 Magazine Attachments for specific weapons (e.g., Shotgun extended tube for S12K)


  • Extended Magazine (Shotgun): For S12K, increases from 5 to 8 shells.


    • ---

    3. Armor & Backpack


    Armor reduces incoming damage. Helmets protect head, vests protect torso. Backpacks increase carrying capacity.

    3.1 Vests (Level 1, 2, 3)


  • Level 1 Vest: Reduces damage by 30%. Capacity: +50 (actually, vests themselves don't increase capacity; only backpacks do). Wait, vests in PUBG have a small inventory space? Actually vests provide a small storage bonus (50, 100, 150 for L1/L2/L3?). Let me verify: Level 1 vest: 100 capacity? No, backpacks are separate. Vests themselves don't add inventory. Correction: Vests only provide damage reduction. They have no inventory slots. The inventory space is solely from backpacks. So ignore that.

  • Level 2 Vest: Reduces damage by 40%.

  • Level 3 Vest: Reduces damage by 55%. Increases your survival significantly.

    • All vests degrade with damage and can be repaired using repair kits (see later). Higher level vests have more durability.

    3.2 Helmets (Level 1, 2, 3)


  • Level 1 Helmet: Reduces headshot damage by 30%. Usually broken after one sniper shot.

  • Level 2 Helmet: 40% reduction. Can survive one KAR98 headshot.

  • Level 3 Helmet: 55% reduction. Can survive one AWM headshot (barely). Extremely valuable.

    • Helmets also have durability. They protect only the head, not face hitbox.

    3.3 Backpacks (Level 1, 2, 3)


  • Level 1 Backpack: 150 capacity.

  • Level 2 Backpack: 200 capacity.

  • Level 3 Backpack: 250 capacity.

    • Backpacks don't affect stats. They allow carrying more items. Essential for holding ammunition, healing, and throwables.

    4. Consumables


    These items restore health or provide temporary buffs.

    4.1 Medical Items


  • Bandage: Restores 10 HP per use up to 75% health. Max stack: 20. Quick use time. Good for minor healing.

  • First Aid Kit: Restores 75% of maximum health. Cannot use if health is above that. Takes 6 seconds. Common.

  • Med Kit: Restores 100% health. Takes 10 seconds. Rare. Great for full recovery.

  • Painkiller & Energy Drink are boost items, not direct heal. They provide gradual health recovery and speed boost.


    • 4.2 Boost Items


    Boost items provide energy, which has multiple levels:
  • Level 1 (20-50% Energy)+: Slow health regen.

  • Level 2 (50-90% Energy)+: Health regen + slight speed increase.

  • Level 3 (90-100% Energy): Maximum health regen + noticeable speed boost.

  • Energy Drink: Adds 40 energy over time. Takes 4 seconds. Count: 2 per slot? Actually can stack up to 5? Stack size: 5.

  • Painkiller: Adds 60 energy over time. Takes 6 seconds. More efficient.

  • Adrenaline Syringe: Adds 100 energy instantly. Very rare (crate only). Takes 6 seconds. Best for a quick full boost.

    • All boost items' effects can be overwritten by taking another before it wears off, but energy caps at 100.

    4.3 Other Consumables


  • Repair Kit: Not traditional consumable but used to repair armor. Found rarely. Restores 30 durability to helmet or vest. Can be used multiple times on same piece.

  • Gas Can: Used to refuel vehicles. Can be thrown and shot to create a fire trap? Yes, it explodes. Found infrequently.

  • Bandage already covered.

  • Emergency Pickup: A special item that allows you to be extracted from the battlefield and score points? Actually in ranked mode, there is a heat map? No. In normal mode, there is no such item. Might be in custom games. Omit.


    • ---

    5. Currencies


    PUBG has multiple currencies for cosmetics and progression.
  • Battle Points (BP): Obtained from matches. Used to buy crates (Raider, Contraband, etc.) and in the BP store. No real-money purchase.

  • G-Coin: Premium currency bought with real money. Used for Battle Pass, emotes, skins in the store, and certain crates.

  • Contraband Coupons: Used in the Workshop to open Contraband Crates (for progressive weapon skins). Obtained from BP purchases or events.

  • Crafting Materials: Schematics, Polymers, and Weapon XP. Used to upgrade progressive weapon skins.


    • ---

    6. Materials & Crafting (Workshop)


    These are not used in the battle royale match but in the account's inventory for cosmetic upgrades.
  • Schematics: Rare items that allow you to craft a weapon skin tree.

  • Polymers: Common material from dismantling skins. Used to upgrade progressive skins.

  • Weapon Leveling Materials: XP cards to increase weapon master level? Actually progressive skins require materials from Contraband Crates.

  • Crate Keys: Some crates require keys (purchased with BP or G-Coin). But currently, crate system is being phased out; many direct purchase options.


    • ---

    7. Key Equipment & Collectibles


    These items do not fit the above categories but are notable.

    7.1 Equipment


  • Ghillie Suit: Crate-only. Full camouflage. Hides your character model. Extremely valuable for snipers. Occupies your inventory? Actually it's a costume slot; does not take inventory space. Found in airdrops.

  • Flare Gun: Already listed under pistols. Unique function.

  • Spike Trap: Throwable. Deploy on roads to puncture tires.

  • Jammer Pack: In special modes or on Miramar (?) Actually not in classic BR. Ignore.

  • Emergency Pickup: Not standard.


    • 7.2 Collectibles


    There are no in-game collectibles that affect gameplay. Cosmetic items (skins, outfits, parachutes, weapon skins) are purely visual. They can be earned through BP crates, Battle Pass, or purchased. Some limited-time skins are highly sought after.

    ---

    8. Important Synergies & Upgrades


  • AR + DMR/Sniper: Classic loadout. One for close-mid (AR), one for long-range (DMR/sniper).

  • SMG + Shotgun: Extreme close-range dominance.

  • Armor + Helm: Always upgrade to higher tiers. Use Repair Kits on durable pieces.

  • Boost + Med Kit: Pair for full recovery plus speed for rotation.

  • Suppressor + DMR/Sniper: Keeps your position hidden after shots.

  • Compensator + AR for spray: Reduces recoil for medium range.

  • Grip choices: Vertical for spray AR, angled for tap, light for single-shot.

  • Crate weapons: Always worth contesting if you have the gear. AUG, Groza, AWM, M249 are end-game capable.

  • Flare Gun: Use in safe zone to call airdrop with better loot. Or in danger to call armored vehicle (if fired under plane).


    • ---

    9. How to Obtain Items


  • Floor loot: Items scattered in buildings, compounds, and open areas. Rarity increases with loot density in higher-tier zones (e.g., Mansion, School, Military Base).

  • Airdrops: Done by plane late-game. Contain crate-only weapons, level-3 gear, and rare attachments.

  • Killed players: Loot their inventory.

  • Care Packages (from flare gun): Contain similar to airdrops.

  • Shops (in certain modes like the map Karakin with a special loot mechanic): Not in classic.

  • Vehicle trunks: Some vehicles have a trunk with loot (e.g., some cars on Miramar?). Mostly removed.


    • ---

    10. When is Each Item Useful?


  • Early game: Any weapon with ammo is good. Prioritize a long-range option and a close-range.

  • Mid game: Seek upgrades, attachments, level-2 armor.

  • Late game: Level-3 helmet, sniper/DMR, suppressors. Use throwables to flush enemies.

  • Solo vs Squad: SMGs and shotguns are riskier but rewarding for aggressive plays. ARs are safer.

  • Specific maps: On Vikendi, G36C and Mosin-Nagant are exclusive. On Sanhok, QBZ and QBU. On Miramar, M416 is less common; SCAR-L and AKM are plentiful.


This comprehensive guide covers all major items. Use this reference to optimize your loadout and decision-making in every match.
