Best Loadouts for COD: Mobile Season 8 Ranked Multiplayer
5. R9 Shotgun
The R9 stands out as the singular shotgun in this lineup, functioning as a sniper-shotgun hybrid. With reliable bullet spread accuracy and quick follow-up shots, it outperforms other shotguns in the game. While the Jack 12 is anticipated to take over once thermite rounds are introduced, the R9 currently reigns as the top choice. Players can optimize its fire rate by holding the shoot button for faster follow-up shots.

4. SKS
The SKS continues to excel in long-range engagements, capable of delivering one-shot headshots from any distance and two-shot kills with upper-body shots. However, it demands precise aim and multiple fingers for effective usage, with missed shots carrying heavy consequences and higher hit flinch compared to assault rifles.

3. MG42 LMG
Although potent, the MG42 has gradually slipped in rank due to its limitations in securing quick kills at longer ranges. Despite its high fire rate and damage output, it lacks the mobility and bullet spread accuracy of alternative options. Nevertheless, with the Mythic variant offering a pre-built red dot sight, the MG42 remains a dependable LMG choice.

2. Odin
Following a buff this season, the Odin has emerged stronger with improved bullet spread accuracy, particularly due to the monolithic suppressor no longer having a downside. This transformation essentially turns the Odin into a fully automatic SKS, making it exceptionally lethal for players with precise aiming skills, especially when equipped with the Mythic variant. While the newly added LAG 53 may not match up in overall effectiveness, players seeking a challenge can explore our gunplay guide for the LAG 53.

1. BP50
Once again, the BP50 claims the top position. Despite receiving a damage nerf, it remains dominant within 35 meters with solid iron sights, the fastest fire rate among assault rifles, and a rapid-fire barrel that comes with virtually no downsides. Despite multiple nerfs, the BP50 continues to be the preferred weapon for most players, overshadowing nearly all other guns in the game. Check out our comprehensive guide on the BP50 for tips on customizing it for peak performance in ranked matches.

Additionally, some long-standing favorites have received significant buffs this season, making them compelling choices. The QQ9’s 10mm ammo now offers a lower limb buff from 1.1x to 1.2x damage, enhancing its consistency. The UL 736, known for dominating long-range encounters, has received a hit flinch buff, boosting its accuracy, particularly at extended distances.
