  • Damage 45
  • Fire Rate 60

AK47 (unlocked at level 23)

  • Damage 70
  • Fire Rate 55
  • Accuracy 45

M16 (unlocked at lever 46)

  • Damage 65
  • Fire Rate 45
  • Accuracy 60
  • Range 60
  • Mobility 60

AK-74U (unlocked at level 7)

  • Damage 80
  • Fire Rate 60
  • Accuracy 55
  • Range 35
  • Mobility 75

Best Sniper Rifles in CoD Mobile

Activision / TencentThe M21 EBR’s fire rate makes it a reliable sniper rifle in CoD Mobile.

DL Q33 (unlocked at level one)

  • Damage 90
  • Fire Rate 15
  • Accuracy 60
  • Range 45
  • Mobility 95

Sometimes the default choice is the best one, and that certainly applies with the DL Q33. What makes this weapon standout is its high damage and good accuracy, coupled with the fact that it supports four attachments that can make this a true powerhouse sniper. 

M21 EBR

  • Damage 80
  • Fire Rate 35
  • Accuracy 60
  • Range 95
  • Mobility 45

The fact that the M21 EBR has a low damage profile shouldn’t be a major concern, because that is compensated for with the high fire rate, especially when Tactical Scope is equipped. This allows you to take extra shots where other snipers may only be able to fire off a single round.

  • Accuracy 45
  • Range 55
