Let’s face it – PUBG doesn’t offer a lot of choice in the matter of where you’ll be fighting. Whether you’re playing on a gigantic island or an assortment of breakable destructible objects, the end result will be the same. You’ll be fighting amongst your own kind in the unforgiving world of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds… and that’s exactly what makes it so great! If conquering the world is one of your top bucket list items, then PUBG is probably not for you. If, however, you are looking to get your hands on some rare skins, new gadgetry, and other swag from the battle royale showdown that isPlayerUnknown's Battlegroundsthen look no further than our list of tips and advice from pros as inspiration. It may not have every possible detail centred on perfection, but it should get you started on the right track.
Learn the ins and outs of each map
There are almost too many places to cover in the vast expanses of PUBG. All you need to do is find the section of the guide that feels right for you and map-specific advice, but in all honesty, it’s not necessary. The best way to get a grasp of each map is to play on it. There is no need to memorize moves, tricks or strategies – just know the ins and outs of each map by playing on it. You’ll get a much better understanding of how each map works, and you’ll also start to notice a difference in your performance.
Don’t be afraid to change your approach
The one thing that every player has in common, regardless of their skill level, is an inability to adapt to changes in the game. When everything is going great and you’ve just finished a particularly difficult section of the game, you might think that you’ve got it all under control. However, the second you step onto a different type of terrain, be it lava, snow or sand, you will lose control of the field. You’ll get a sense of, “Where do I start again?” even if you’ve got it down to a fine ‘n almost-perfect degree. It’s important to remember that you can always start again from the very beginning. No matter how many times you’ve played the game, each time you start a new map you’ll have a clean slate to work with. If you make a mistake, you can always head back to an earlier section and try again from scratch.
Always have a plan
It’s easy to get overwhelmed when there are so many things to know and understand in PUBG. It’s also easy to make a plan and then forget about it. You’re probably like, “Yes! I remember everything – that’s why I’m winning.” Yes, you will become winning by being extremely efficient and making sure that nothing and no one gets the better of you. However, it’s also important to keep yourself safe and out of harm’s way. This may seem like common sense, but when you’re the one in the middle of a firefight, it can be easy to forget. When you’re in a group of players, especially ones that you’re not particularly good friends with, it’s important to remember that everyone is there for a reason. You may have a tendency to run in and kill anyone that gets in your way, but in reality, you’re probably teaming up with your friends to take out a couple of threats at the same time! Whenever you get the chance, stick around and search the bodies of your fallen enemies for useful items such as food or guns. You never know when you’ll need them!
Be wary of choke points
Whenever you come across a section of the map that seems like it would be advantageous to either your team or the other team, you can call it a “freeze point.” It’s not just you either – the enemies are stuck in a similar predicament. All connections between two points on the map are called choke points. Since they are important to the flow of the game, it is wise to either avoid these areas completely or at least be aware of possible routes of escape. When you’re in the thick of it and it’s really hard to get out, you could also try hiding in a bush or in a nearby crate. If you have time, you can also try hiding in a nearby house or other structure, but make sure that you’re not being seen by anyone on the field.
Take cover where you can
When you’re on the move and in a group, it is vital to make sure that everyone is covered. This can be done by using a buddy system or by simply cowering in a corner. If you are playing on an island, you may wish to cower in a bunker or other fortified location with the door closed and protect your backside from anyone that might be coming your way. If you are on a breakable structure or building, you can cower in a closet or under a table. If you are in a vehicle, you can also hide in the vehicle itself and shield yourself from gunfire.
Find a buddy or two!
If you are playing on an island, there is something particularly special about having a buddy by your side. When you are in a group, it is difficult for one person to be in the lead and protect both their own backside and that of their buddy. Having a buddy nearby can be an lifesaver when it comes to surviving tense firefights. You can both rely on the other to cover your back and save your bacon (or whatever it is that you value most). If you are playing on a breakable structure or vehicle, you can also try having a buddy in the driver’s seat or at the back of the vehicle. This way, both of you can be covered and have a better chance of surviving.
Focus on the essentials
It’s not just the pretty things that make a player happy – it’s also the things that make the player feel effective in the game. In PUBG, there are so many different things you can do, but the most important thing is to know how to do them well. For example, if you are fighting another player in a vehicle, you need to make sure that the other person is having a hard time driving as well. If they are having a lot of trouble keeping their car on the road, then you can easily take advantage of this and swerve in between their vehicle and the roadside barrier to escape the inevitable.
Don’t be afraid to invite your friends!
If you are interested in sharing some winnings with your friends and celebrating after a hard-fought victory, don’t be afraid to invite them to play. Although it may feel a bit socially awkward to put your friends through the paces and put yourself in a position that could easily end in failure, it is a great way to show them what you have and get some valuable feedback before the match. Even if you are not sure who you would like to play, feel free to message the team and ask them who they would recommend. You will definitely be surprised by who you can get on board with!
Conclusion
The battle for the world is still ongoing in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. With just a few weeks remaining before the game goes live in all regions, the competition is still very much alive. In order to capitalise on this, it is important to be on the right side of the fence. With these tips and advice from the pros, you can help ensure that you do!
