Over the years, many different weapons have been introduced, buffed, and nerfed in PlayerUnknowns Battlegrounds (PUBG). Guns like UMP45 and Micro UZI have come out of irrelevance to dominate the battlegrounds as metas. Meanwhile, some guns have lost their importance due to the arrival of stronger alternatives in the battle royale game.

5 Worst Weapons In PlayerUnknowns Battlegrounds (PUBG)
Equipping strong weapons is key to being the last player standing in PlayerUnknowns Battlegrounds. It is also important to know the weaker ones so you avoid using them in battle or use them only when the situation demands it.
Listed below are the 5 weakest guns in PUBG.
1. P18C
The P18C, also known as Glock 18C, has the highest fire rate of all handguns in PUBG. However, players generally prefer P1911 or Deagle as backup pistols because of P18C’s appalling low damage. Users of this handgun have to put their faith in mid- to close-range sprays and make each bullet count in its maximum ammo capacity of 25.
2. M16A4
Due to the increased number of weapons having an auto-fire mode, the M16A4 has ceased to be appealing and effective. It has a single-fire mode which can be great for long-distance shooting but its burst-fire mode isn’t suitable for sprays at mid- to long-range. Although players can get some utility from the weapon in close quarters, they have to be extra careful not to get caught in the enemy’s spray as the delay between two different bursts could lead to their elimination.

3. Sawed-Off Shotgun
Exclusive to Miramar map, the Sawed-off Shotgun has higher damage than any handgun in PUBG. However, while most shotguns can be effective in distances below 50m, this shotgun is only effective when fired from a point-blank range. It is a situational weapon that can dominate fights inside buildings with its limited pellet spread but requires players to risk getting close to the enemy or wait for them.
4. Winchester 94 (Win94)
The Winchester Model 1894 is a Sniper Rifle that is exclusive to Miramar, Sanhok, and Vikendi maps. Attached to it is a default 2.7x scope in PUBG that cannot be removed by the player. This severely limits the Sniper Rifle’s range advantage while the weapon’s low damage and bullet velocity are surpassed by favorites like Kar98, M24, and AWM.
5. Crossbow
Crossbow is a highly situational weapon in PUBG. Its bolts can penetrate a Spetsnaz Helmet and its noiseless shots decrease the chances of being spotted by the enemies. Unfortunately, the weapon’s low speed and unpredictable bolt drop at distances above 200 meters compels players to choose better alternatives like Sniper Rifles or Designated Marksman Rifles.
Nonetheless, getting a crossbow kill in PlayerUnknowns Battlegrounds is challenging and fun. Players could use the weapon in battle royales if they want to test themselves.
