Moreover, in maps like Sanhok and Karakin, there is a high possibility of enemies sneaking up to you while you maintain the higher ground.

The 5 Best BGMI Guns For Close Combat
Listed below in this guide are the five best BGMI guns for close combat:-
PP19 Bizon (Submachine Gun)
PP 19 Bizon’s high fire rate, ammo capacity, and stable recoil make it one of the best BGMI guns for close-range combat. It can fire 53 bullets within five seconds, dealing 36 damage with each hit. Enemies get little chance to react to the fast bullet sprays from the weapon.
PP 19 Bizon has a better damage profile than Vector and UZI albeit possessing a lower rate of fire. Moreover, it has lower damage than UMP45 and Thompson SMG but a higher rate of fire. It is smack in the middle of an SMG’s desired performance in BGMI.
MK47 Mutant (Assault Rifle)
Like other 7.62mm ammunition weapons, MK47 Mutant has a high damage per hit. It has Single and Burst Fire modes in BGMI. The former mode is useful for sniping targets while the latter can be used in close-to-medium range combat.
MK47 Mutant lacks an Auto-fire mode but it can finish opponents with two bursts at close-range. Dealing 49 damage with each shot, the weapon’s effectiveness can be increased with a Compensator attachment.
AKM (Assault Rifle)
A modernized version of AK47, the AKM Assault Rifle is one of the best BGMI guns for close combat due to its high rate of fire equaled by its high damage. The weapon deals 47 damage per hit so players require only five bullets to eliminate an opponent with a Level 3 Military vest.
Attachments like Compensators and Extended Magazines can be equipped in AKM to increase its close-range effectiveness. It can support a maximum of 40 bullets, which is enough to destroy an enemy squad without needing to reload.
DBS (Shotgun)
DBS was a drop-only weapon when it was introduced in Battlegrounds Mobile India. The power-packed Shotgun is now a rare loot. Like most 12-gauge ammunition shotguns, it deals a mammoth 97 if each shell hits the enemy at close-range but its most striking feature is the fire rate.
Possessing just 0.5 seconds delay in between two shots, DBS can mow down entire squads at close-quarters and still have a few pellets left in the tank. It is most effective when enemies are at a range of 10-15 meters because its potential decreases with an increase in range.
UMP45 (Submachine Gun)
A highly stable gun, the UMP45 is just behind the Thompson SMG when it comes to its damage output. However, unlike Tommy Gun, the UMP45 can support attachments like a foregrip and compensator to further reduce its recoil.
The Universal Machine pistol deals 41 damage per hit and has a headshot multiplier of 2.1. Previously, in PUBG Battlegrounds, the weapon used 9mm ammo but has shifted to using the .45 ACP bullets.
Now that you know the best guns in Battlegrounds Mobile for close combat, you may also want to know the overall best guns in BGMI. These weapons are effective in both close-, medium-, and long-range, making them useful for any situation.
