PUBG Mobile 4.1 Finally Fixes Rifle Damage - A Change That’s Been Years in the Making

In a surprising turn of events, Krafton has had the PUBG Mobile Rifle Damage fixed in the upcoming 4.1 update, scheduled to release globally on November 6, 2025. As the update is right around the corner, the PUBG mobile fanbase is brimming with excitement about the changes. However, the update is bringing in some changes that could really affect how the riflers used to dominate the arena in different modes.

Multiple teasers related to the new update, showcasing themed NPCs, map changes, and hot drop zones, kept the community engaged. However, the recent post from X by @PUBGMobile about version 4.1 might attract community backlash. Regardless of the scenario, this article will showcase all rifle changes that have been made in the upcoming PUBG Mobile version 4.1 update.

PUBG Mobile Rifle Damage Fixed: A Much-Needed Update

We have mentioned that Krafton had the PUBG Mobile Rifle Damage fixed in the upcoming 4.1 update. There are three factors we need to look out for: Firearm Performance Adjustments, Firearm Attachment Updates, and Firearm Damage Adjustments. Let's take a look at all of the updates individually:

Firearm Performance Adjustments

To make the battle-royale arena more realistic, the developers at Krafton finally decided to implement the bullet distance change in the upcoming 4.1 update. Based on the X post, bullet speed for most firearms will gradually decrease with distance. On a positive note, the developers have slightly increased the firing stability of multiple DMRs, such as SKS, MK14, and SLR. As a result, we might see a new meta shift towards the marksman rifles.

Firearm Attachment Updates

While all eyes are on the damage changes, the developers at Krafton have something positive for FAMAS users. This is the best they could ask for in-game. Based on the recent X post, the 5.56mm weapon will now feature an additional magazine slot or mini drum mags to carry extra ammo.

Firearm Damage Adjustments

PUBG Mobile 4.1 Fixes rifle damage, along with implementing some other changes to the shotguns as well. For context, the damage of every rifle (except DMRs) will now drop off gradually based on the shooting distance. Hence, the more the distance, the less the damage.
