Winston Churchill once said, “Give us the tools, and we will finish the job.” That line feels oddly perfect right now because Call of Duty: Mobile’s Season 8 – Twilight Heist is here, and it’s all about picking the right tools to win the fight.
The new season brings in fresh weapons, balance changes, and a meta shake-up that’s bound to keep both Multiplayer and Battle Royale spicy. The star of the update is the RAM-7 assault rifle, but a handful of old favorites have been buffed, while others got slight nerfs to keep things interesting.
So, which guns should you actually trust in ranked matches or sweaty BR lobbies? Let’s break down the top 10 weapons dominating CODM Season 8.
10. LW3–Tundra – The Long-Range King

If you like holding angles and picking enemies off before they even see you, the LW3–Tundra is still the sniper to beat. It combines one-shot kill power with surprisingly quick handling, making it deadly for both passive and aggressive snipers.
Compared to the newer Three-Line Rifle, the Tundra simply feels smoother – better mobility, faster fire rate, and reliable accuracy. Perfect for Search & Destroy clutch plays or Ranked control lanes. If distance dominance is your game, this rifle’s got you covered.
9. HS0405 – The One-Tap Shotgun
Close-quarters combat just got nastier. The HS0405 can delete enemies with a single blast, even when hip-firing. After its choke attachment buff, it’s more mobile too – perfect for fast “run-and-gun” plays on tight maps like Shipment or Nuketown.
Pair it with a mid-range rifle or keep it as your Overkill secondary in BR. It’s situational, but in the right map, this shotgun is pure chaos.
8. Groza – Buffed and Back
The Groza AR went from underdog to serious contender this season. Thanks to its improved damage multipliers, it now melts at mid-range, giving it XM4-level lethality but with slightly better reach.
It’s also free-to-play friendly with great iron sights and mobility. Build it with recoil control in mind, and you’ll have a versatile AR that handles close fights while still holding its own at longer ranges.
7. BP50 – The Easy Laser Beam
Not the flashiest weapon, but the BP50 shines because it’s so forgiving. Its insanely fast fire rate and low recoil make it ideal for newer players or anyone who just wants a reliable bullet hose.
Most stick to the 30- or 40-round mags now, since the 60-round drum was slightly nerfed. Either way, this gun’s all about spray-and-win consistency – perfect for respawn modes and ranked climbing.
6. Type 25 – Buffed for Aggression
Old-school CODM players will remember the Type 25, and it’s back in force. After Season 8 buffs, it now delivers consistent 4-shot kills with high fire rate and tighter bullet spread.
Yes, it still has higher recoil than some rifles, and you’ll get punished for missed shots. But in close to mid-range, it melts enemies fast, making it a great pick for aggressive pushers.
5. RAM-7 – The New Balanced AR
The headline gun of Season 8, the RAM-7, is already making a splash. Think of it as a hybrid between the M4 and Type 25 – fast fire rate, manageable recoil, and the unique perk of a 50-round extended mag.
That bigger mag makes it perfect for holding down objectives in Hardpoint or Domination. It’s balanced, adaptable, and newbie-friendly – a safe bet for anyone looking for a reliable new main.
4. VMP – Close-Range Shredder
The VMP SMG remains a beast up close. Its crazy fire rate and tight hip-fire spread make it ideal for aggressive players who thrive on pushing spawns and locking down small maps.
A slight nerf to hip-fire accuracy barely slowed it down. Build it with a laser to tighten spread, and you’ll still rip through enemies in seconds. Just don’t expect it to carry you in long-range fights.
3. Oden – The Two-Shot Titan
Want pure stopping power? The Oden is your gun. It’s the only fully-auto AR in CODM that can consistently kill in two shots to the upper body.
The tradeoff? A slower fire rate and recoil you’ll need to manage. But if your aim is steady, this thing shreds mid-range fights like no other. It’s unforgiving, but in the right hands, devastating.
2. Type 63 – The High-Skill Monster
The Type 63 tactical rifle might be the most overpowered gun on paper this season. It can two-shot kill anywhere on the body and even one-shot headshot across the map.
Sounds broken, right? The catch is it’s semi-auto. You need precise aim and fast tapping to make it work. For skilled players, though, it’s borderline unfair – sniper-level lethality with DMR flexibility.
1. USS 9 – The SMG Meta King
Still at the top after multiple seasons, the USS 9 is the SMG every serious player uses. It combines ridiculous TTK, low recoil, and strong mid-range damage, making it feel like an AR stuffed into an SMG body.
Even with slight nerfs this season, it’s still the most consistent and versatile gun. Add the .41 AE “Damage Mag” to unlock 3-shot body kills, and you’ll understand why the USS 9 is meta-defining.

Final Thoughts
Season 8 has given us a healthy mix of new guns, old favorites, and meta shifts. From the balanced RAM-7 and aggressive Type 25, to the heavy-hitting Oden and all-around dominance of the USS 9, there’s something here for every playstyle.
