PUBG Mobile upgradable guns

Upgradable gun skins level up from 1 to 7, and on newer skins to 8, each level adding effects up to a final form. Paint and materials from the same draw do the upgrading. A maxed skin is worth many times the same skin at level 1, and the M416 skins are the ones buyers ask about first.

Value

Which skins matter most on an account

By wide agreement a maxed M416 Glacier comes first, then a maxed M416 The Fool, the Gold Pirate AKM, the AKM Glacier, the AWM Godzilla and the M416 Lizard Roar. Sellers count maxed skins (“7 Full M416”, “20 Full Guns Lv7-8”) and the kill chats that come with them; the count of maxed guns is one of the clearest measures of an account. The steps are in account value.

Answers

PUBG Mobile upgradable guns: FAQ

What is the M416 Glacier?

An upgradable M416 skin from 2019 that levels up to 7. It is the best-known gun skin in PUBG Mobile and has rarely been brought back, so its level on an account is one of the first things buyers ask about.

What do the levels of an upgradable gun skin unlock?

Level 2 adds a kill effect, levels 3 and 4 a kill message and kill feed, levels 5 and 6 hit effects and a more advanced look, and level 7 the final form with a themed loot crate. Some skins released since about 2023, such as the Tidal Embrace M416, go to level 8.

What is the most valuable upgradable gun skin?

A maxed M416 Glacier ranks first by wide agreement, followed by a maxed M416 The Fool, the Gold Pirate AKM, the AKM Glacier, the AWM Godzilla and the M416 Lizard Roar. A skin at level 1 is worth a fraction of the same skin maxed.

How do I get the Gold Pirate AKM?

Upgrade the AKM Seven Seas to its maximum level and add the Midas item; the skin then turns into the Gold Pirate AKM.

What does “20 Full Guns Lv7-8” mean in a listing?

Twenty upgradable gun skins at their final level, 7 or 8. “Full” or “Max” after a skin name means the same; “Fool 7” is The Fool M416 at level 7.
