PUBG Meta, Week 42 2026: Best Guns & Hottest Drops

This week so far — the numbers keep growing until Sunday night (UTC).

The guns that got the kills

Every kill of a real player by a real player in the week's tracked matches, by the gun that got it — with the knocks, the headshot kills and how far away the kills were.

Every week

Week 42, 2026 So far2026-10-12 – 2026-10-1896 matches · 6,223 kills

How it's counted: every match PUBG-Bot.com tracked for the members of the Discord servers that use it — and everyone else in those lobbies. Only kills of real players by real players count (no bots, no team kills); a gun's headshot share and average distance show from 10 kills. Custom matches and event modes are left out. A week runs Monday to Sunday (UTC).
