In BGMI, close-range weapons refer to guns that are most effective when fighting enemies at close quarters, approximately up to 25 meters away. At these distances, you need weapons with high damage and firing rates to quickly take down opponents before they can react. The most popular close-range weapons in BGMI are SMGs, shotguns, and certain sniper rifles when used aggressively.
Let’s take a look at some of the top options for scoring close-range headshots in BGMI.
Uzi
One of the most effective close-range spray weapons in BGMI is the Uzi submachine gun. With a low recoil and a very rapid rate of fire (1080 rounds per minute), you may automatically dump an entire magazine into a close-quarters opponent. When you need to spray bullets in close quarters, the Uzi really rips despite its limited range. With its fast firing rate, it’s ideal for charging around bends and eliminating many opponents at close range. Equip an Uzi if you need to do a lot of damage up close.
Shotguns
Shotguns need frequent reloading but have enormous stopping power up close. If you aim a shotgun blast toward an enemy’s head or chest, you can kill them with one shot at close range. They are hence superior in close quarters combat. But shotguns only carry a small number of shots in each magazine, which makes reloading dangerous. The two best choices are:
S1897
The classic S1897 pump action shotgun is still viable for close-quarters combat. It offers solid damage with decent range and spread. Due to the pump action, you’re limited in fire rate but it packs a punch up close.
S686
With the fastest shotgun fire rate, the S686 allows more shots on target for short bursts. The semi-auto firing gives it an advantage in close quarters where taking down multiple enemies quickly is key. The fast fire makes up for lower range compared to the S1897.
SMGs
Submachine guns provide a good balance of fire rate, control, and damage for close-range encounters. They fire faster than ARs for CQB but are more controllable than the Uzi. The two best SMG choices are:
Vector
With a high fire rate and easy to control recoil, the Vector puts out high DPS up close. It has one of the fastest time to kills out of all weapons when within 10 meters. The large magazine size means you can spray plenty of shots before reloading.
UMP45
The UMP45 has a slower fire rate but offers stability and accuracy for close-range headshots. Low recoil and a steady fire rate make it reliable for landing headshots during close-quarters engagements.
Sniper Rifles
Although bolt action sniper rifles may not seem like the usual choice for close quarters combat, a proficient shooter may make deadly use of them. By taking use of their great damage and precision up close, you may take down opponents with one hit before they know what’s coming. The best choices are:
Kar98k
With the right attachements, the Kar98k bolt action rifle can one shot kill up close. You’ll need skilled aim and quick reflexes, but it’s extremely powerful.
M24
The M24 has higher firing accuracy than the Kar98k while retaining lethal damage up close. In close quarters, it can take out enemies swiftly and precisely in the right hands.
