PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds may be one of the most dominant multiplayer releases of the past few years, but its shortcomings have come to eclipse the title’s once-sterling reputation. While the community circa March 2017 was optimistic and largely agreed that the game had quite a lot of potential, things seem on the verge of unraveling just two years later. When news came in late September last year that developer Bluehole would be axing the option to switch regions and gating certain players’ access to servers depending on ping, PUBG fans rejoiced. However, nearly six months have gone by since these features were implemented in Update 22, and the game’s multiplayer functionalities are still in a state of ch
Of course, anything can happen on PUBG . The players on the map will be placed within a „bluish ring” that periodically shrinks when squads begin to dwindle. This forces everyone to move to a more confined space, which naturally helps move the match along. Loot is found in crates that are randomly generated at the beginning of each match. This is how players find their weapons and other items to customize their loadout and get ready for the crazy battle ahead. Now, with Season 7 being available, there is even more craziness that coincides with the planes, trains, and automobiles on the island. With the Survivor Pass: Cold Front , the snowy region 'Vikendi’ had been revamped and there are new; updates, items, and places to discover. First, on consoles, there are now 'bots’ available to help fill up servers and give new players a more fighting chance to gain their bearings. New players that were having a difficult time „cutting their teeth” with PUBG will now have room to breathe. Plus, Vikendi now has freshly structured snowy plains, a roaring train, and an abandoned dino-themed amusement park to skirmish
There isn’t one particular weapon that rules the game, and a lot depends on the player’s playstyle. However, it becomes very apparent, very fast, that there are high tier and low tier weapons in PUBG , and even though every weapon is competent in wiping out enemies, some produce better results than others. Here is a list of the best weapons in the game as well as duds that should be avoi
Another SMG making the list, Micro Uzi has been the star of the competitive show in recent times. When it comes to close-combat, Micro Uzi can decimate every other assault rifle in the game. The only downside of the gun is the lack of range and that players need to connect their bullets for better damage as Micro Uzi’s spray is very quick and rapid. The gun is easily available throughout a game, making it a very popular choice amongst high elo play
The biggest reason for its success is not just the battle royale mode, but also the depth it provides in the gameplay. But the more the extent, the more will be ways to utilize it. Let us see some of these techniques that can help a lot of play
M416 is the only non-air-drop 5.56 weapon that is still in the high tier. Even though it has been nerfed multiple times in the past, the gun still is a solid option that is fit for every situation. It’s way more versatile than any other assault rifle in the same class, and overall, it has been an old faithful for most play
Kicking off with a surprising entry, Vector has become a complete beast after the SMG buffs. Its overall customizability and the ease of access makes it a top tier gun. Players can easily find Vector in the early stages of the game, and when fully equipped, it can beat out anything in close range. However, the gun does struggle without an Extended Mag as its mag size is very low. It’s also not appropriate for long-range fights where it can easily be beaten out by other g
Whether playing alone or with a team, it is imperative to land in a well-connected location. At the same time, it is also essential to predict the moves. Going in without a plan means lesser goals, and that results in a lot of confusion between the team. Knowing that everyone will jump at Camp Bravo and then recenter at Bhan, helps everyone have a steady g
What are some of your other favorite console games on mobile to play, just for yourselves, not for competition? Are they still multiplayer titles, or do professional competitors like yourselves see multiplayer as work and single player as entertainm
SCAR-L: Players who don’t fancy „single-shots” with assault rifles will most likely cling onto the SCAR-L due to its impressive rate of rapid-fire. It’s the most effective rifle when it comes to „mowing down” other players it can do hefty damage. It doesn’t have the best range, but for close-quarter skirmishes, this is a prime assault rifle to h
Yet, as player numbers dropped and competition became more prominent, Bluehole finally caved to audience demands and removed the ability to search for games by region. While it was a well-received—albeit incredibly late—gesture, it did relatively little to stem the torrent of cheaters plaguing Western servers. Players can easily use a VPN service to artificially switch regions, and there are similar workarounds for the ping lock restriction. Things may be a little better than they once were, but aim-botting, unkillable cheaters sporting triple-digit ping figures are still fairly common in most ar
