PUBG: Tips & Tricks for Beginners

Choose Your Landing Spot

Tips and Tricks for Beginners of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG)

PUBG’s gameplay is as fast-paced as it is enjoyable. While the gameplay can get a bit intense at times, here are some PUBG?tips to help you to be the last one standing, or at least get close. There are many different ways to succeed in the game, as there is no one right way to win, some methods might work better than others depending on your own personal preference.

The first thing players must do is to decide where you want to parachute to on the PUBG map. There are different map locations that offer different types of loot and weapons. The places with the best weapons and loot tend to have more players around which can be dangerous when looking for supplies. This can also be a benefit too. If you are the type of player who does well in the early fight, then this might be the place for you to start out. If you do better by biding your time, then going to a less populated area might be better, but having to walk long stretches of the map can also be dangerous without a vehicle.

From our own personal experience, we found parachuting quickly down to a quieter area with a few buildings allowed us to grab some loot and fend off any nearby players before moving to the more populated sections. If you’re finding yourself dying early into the game, try this and see how it goes.

Get Down Fast

Once you’ve picked where you want to land in PUBG, you want to make sure you’re the first on the ground in that area. Pressing forward on your gamepad or?‘W’ on your keyboard should see your character lean forward and aim themselves towards the ground. By doing this, you’ll pick up a lot more speed in the free fall.

As soon as your parachute opens, get ready to do the exact same thing again. With a little bit of luck you’ll be the first on the ground, but if you see others dropping nearby, you’ll want to get your hands on a weapon and take them out of the action fast.

Get Your Loadout Right

Another thing you need to decide is which loadout is best for you and your gameplay style. Trying out each loadout and getting a feel for which one feels best for you is a good way to start. You can find a detailed description and pros and cons of each one on the?official website.?This will help you in your quest for loot as it can make easier for you to prioritize what to pick up and what not to.

Ultimately, you should be choosing a loadout not only on your personal preference, but also based on the circumstances you find yourself in while playing PUBG.?If you’re pinned down by long-range fire, don’t be afraid to drop your SMG and opt for something with a little more range to return fire. Of course, deviating from what you’re used to in PUBG can be problematic, so we recommend using your time in the pre-deployment zone to try out a range of different weaponry and loadouts on offer.

Watch for the Environment

Once you are in-game, it is easy to get lost in combat and the environment. One of the most dangerous parts of the game is not necessarily other players, sometimes it is the environment that can kill you. Being aware of the safe zones seems like a small task, but it can make a huge difference.

Being outside the safe zones can be deadly in PUBG, so it is something that should always be watched. To keep track of this, simply keep an eye out for whenever you’re given a warning on the safe zone shrinking. This flashes up on your screen every time it’s about to get smaller, so as soon as you see it, make sure you’re getting?out of harm’s way by moving closer toward the final showdown.

The Science of Open Doors

When you’re on an island with 99 other people all trying to kill you, the last thing you want to do is give away your position… or do you? Open doors are a blessing and a curse in PUBG.?If you spot an open door, there’s a good chance that someone has been exploring the building or has set up camp in there. Therefore, it’s worth exercising caution whenever you’re about to head into a building with an open door.

At the same time, you can use doors to your advantage in PUBG. Go ahead and open the door on a building, and then set up camp hidden away in the distance. Now all you need to do is wait for a cautious player to investigate?the door, contemplating whether the risk is worth the potential loot inside. If you’ve got a long-range weapon, these are now easy pickings. If not, you can run in from behind and catch them off-guard.
