Unlock the Best Gun Lab Skins for M416, AKM & AWM – Ultimate Guide

Discover the top gun lab skins for M416, AKM and AWM in PUBG Mobile, how to unlock them, and why they matter. Boost your style with proven tips.

The short answer

The most coveted gun lab skins are the Glacier M416, the Desert Storm AKM, and the Golden AWM. They can be unlocked through Royale Pass tiers, event rewards, or by purchasing accounts that already own them on 217G.

Which gun lab skins give the M416 the best visual impact?

The Glacier M416 is widely regarded for its icy blue finish and crisp detailing, making it a favourite for players who want a standout look. Another strong choice is the Frostbite skin, which adds a frosted texture that catches the light in open fields. Both skins are tied to specific Royale Pass tiers; completing the required challenges will grant the skin without spending UC. Occasionally, special events also drop the Glacier skin in reward crates, so keep an eye on the in‑game announcements.

What AKM gun lab skins are most popular among Pakistani players?

The Desert Storm AKM dominates the local scene thanks to its desert‑tan camouflage that blends well with many map locations. The Crimson AKM, with its deep red accents, is another fan favourite for those who prefer a bold statement. These skins are usually unlocked via the Royale Pass or limited‑time events that reward them as milestone prizes. Participating in community challenges during Eid or Ramadan events often increases the chance of receiving these skins.

How can you obtain the top AWM gun lab skins without spending extra UC?

The Golden AWM is the flagship skin for the sniper, and it is most commonly awarded through the highest tiers of the Royale Pass. Reaching these tiers requires consistent play and completing weekly missions. Event crates that appear during major updates sometimes contain the Golden AWM as a rare reward. If you prefer a quicker route, you can browse 217G for PUBG Mobile accounts that already own the skin; such accounts are listed with their overall level and inventory, and the purchase is handled via escrow for safety.

Do gun lab skins affect gameplay performance?

No, gun lab skins are purely cosmetic and do not alter damage, recoil, fire rate, or any other weapon statistics. They are designed to let you personalise your arsenal without giving any advantage. Because they have no impact on performance, you can switch between skins freely in the locker without worrying about changes to your gameplay feel.

Questions, answered

Can I buy a gun lab skin directly from 217G?

No, 217G only sells complete PUBG Mobile accounts; individual skins are not sold separately.

Do I need to reach a certain level to use these skins?

Most gun lab skins are unlocked once you obtain them, regardless of your player level, but some are tied to Royale Pass tiers that require completing specific challenges.

Will the skin stay on my account after I transfer it?

Yes, skins are attached to the account itself, so when you purchase an account that already has the desired skins, they remain with the account permanently.
