Things I’ve Learned After 100 Hours of PUBG

This is the opinion of a player who has played 100 hours in PUBG, by VG247

Although each round is quite short, while not as short as in CoD or Battlefield, it is short enough to make you have to “devote” your entire match to get a few lessons or master a type. some weapon. However, each match has randomly distributed items like everything else, so things don’t always go your way.

This makes it very difficult to see where you’ve gone wrong with each game, and it’s still mostly due to a single mistake that we rarely notice: our playstyle still has limitations. which we have not yet noticed.

I’ve been playing PUBG for over 100 hours so far and I’m still accumulating more experience every day. Playing thousands of hours is not an achievement to be proud of, but getting better every day is something you are proud of.

The knowledge and experience I have today matches the way I play. And today, I bring you some of my experiences so far compiled into one list.

Some of these might go against your playstyle, but you shouldn’t hesitate to give it a try at least once. A game like PUBG is different from other PvP games, and I’ve learned to never stop learning new things.

Learn how to communicate with teammates

If you regularly play Duos or Squads with a group of friends, you should learn how to communicate with them in at least a few short words and at the same time accurately.

“Looks like I see someone on the hill” is the worst way to report the situation. No one knows for sure if you see or not people on the hill and they also don’t know which hill you are referring to.

Think about using an existing glossary or creating your own. A good call to action is to alert your teammates, then give them as much information as possible and be accurate. A good example would be: “Someone! Direction 250 from my perspective.”

If your teammates are having a hard time determining the direction or looking at the compass, use simpler terms to call on your teammates. For example: “Someone! On the left, going up hill 250″ is also a good way to call teammates. This should not only be used to notify teammates when you see an enemy, but it should be used throughout your match.

You should also not shout out all the props and accessories you find, unless it is superfluous or unnecessary for you. It’s best to limit talking when picking up items so everyone can focus on picking up their stuff, talking a lot can lead to easily muffled voices and make it hard to tell when you or your teammates are injured. attack from behind.

My team often inform each other by saying the rank of items from 1 to 3 for example: “I have 2-1-2 already” means “I have hat 2, armor 1 and backpack 2. ”

Same goes for first aid and healing items (medkits would be a special case since it’s a rare item). First aids kits will have the highest position, followed by bandages and energy drinks. For example: “I have 3-4-15 and meds.”

It doesn’t matter what terms you use, as long as you and your teammates feel productive and don’t distract you from what’s going on in the game.

Splitting the squad when moving into 2,3 cars is also a good idea

You’ve probably heard of the pro players’ strategy: “Shoot the tires of vehicles you come across on your way to prevent other players from using them.” Why bother with that when you’re splitting up and using those cars?

This reduces the chance of being ambushed from blind spots in your path, especially when traveling over bridges. It also helps the cars behind to find an alternative route in case the first car gets caught in a trap.

Going by 2 cars also means that you will be able to attack the house from many different sides, find the “hidden heroes” hiding in that house. This makes those hiding in the house think that they are being attacked by 2 different teams.

Or in some cases, they won’t notice the second car while focusing on the first car. It would also be a good idea if you let a person with a sniper rifle ride in your own car and follow the two cars ahead for the best angle.

Someone in the squad with a Kar98 as a second weapon will often be quite difficult to counter attacks. Especially if they have a large scope on their main weapon. It will be better if you or someone in the squad has a sniper rifle to protect the squad when moving from a distance. Instead of everyone panicking out of their vehicles when they’re ambushed so that the ambush can send them off one by one, your team’s ADC can do the same to the ambush and help your team escape. perilous situations.

This will also work in Duos matches, as nothing looks more “delicious” than a lone wolf heading towards the opposing team. They will often think that you go alone, a life is quite easy but in fact you are protected from afar. Or if you see someone walking alone, be careful because you don’t know they are just “prey” to lure you out of the cave!

Calmness is always a good virtue

I’m not talking about being a “hidden hero”, I’m talking about reducing your aggression in gunfights.

If you see someone running in front of you, step back, take cover and wait for them to make a mistake. Chances are they’ve seen you before and are waiting for an opportunity to treat you well. Wait patiently for the opportunity to open up and take full advantage of it.

Similar to when you get hit by surprise, but the ambush misses, and you know they’re not near you. This can be a dangerous move, but stay there for a while because the ambush will most likely move to another cover to find a better angle or change cover to keep you out of sight. appear them. Take advantage of that time to return the favor they gave you in the past.

A little calm will also help you a lot in gunfights in the jungle. We all know how funny the jungle wars are going to be. The best way is to lean back and shoot 1.2 times and then hide again, avoiding the enemy to return damage.

PUBG is always a battle of patience, whoever moves first is in danger of being knocked out first. Unless you feel like you’re behind you or you’re in a bad position, wait until the other side makes a mistake.

Players who tilted their heads longer than usual had a high chance that they were holding sniper rifles

I don’t know how many times I thought to myself, “This guy’s sticking out this long, I bet I can beat him the next time he does.” And it never ends well.

Assuming you’re not playing against players with bad skills, only those with shotguns stick their heads out for long. The simple reason is that they don’t want to miss that shot, or they have an IQ200 and even though they use an AR, they do the same to give you the same mindset as me above.

All they need is a little bit of your body out of hiding. You can probably return a few shots but all they need is 1 shot and you’re in heaven.

Spam during combat is never a good idea

This is one of the bad habits that we least realize when playing PUBG that we most often commit. Spam bullets in combat will cause your gun to be jerked, lose focus and will often pay the price for those situations.

From my experience, I thought I would lose a lot of situations where I thought I would win because of the third-person shooting. The projectile doesn’t go the way I want and I usually blame it but it’s really not the main reason why I lose in gunfights.

It will take a while for you to break this habit when shooting SMGs and shotguns. You can practice first-person shooting in the lobby by shooting someone and watching the bullets fly and the blood splatter.

When you put the third-person perspective, the center of the gun is always bigger than normal, resulting in the bullet path rarely being desired. Of course, if you stand still, the center of the gun will be less shaken, but the deflection of the bullet is still inevitable.

Don’t be too snappy

In Squad or Duo mode, the golden rule is never to shoot as soon as you see the enemy. I know what you’re thinking: “This guy is hiding in the wrong place, it’s definitely going to be a free life.”

You may be right and if it goes well, it will be a free network for you. But in the worst case scenario, he might have a team behind him and ready to shoot at any moment.

Instead, wait a while until you have vision of the entire opposing team. This way, you can work out your options with your friends and easily win in a pre-prepared gunfight. Just because you see someone walking past your muzzle, doesn’t mean it’s an easy kill.

This is even more true towards the end of the game when you’re less likely to encounter full squads, it’s easier for you to try to wait a few more seconds before firing.

Always assume that cars are death traps and deal with them on a case-by-case basis

Cars always have a bad reputation in PUBG because of “super elastic tires”, “non-physical”, “Mad Max-style operating mechanism”, …

More than that, cars always alert the enemy that you’re coming a few miles before you get there, and cars aren’t your best defense when you’re ambushed.

You can use a car to shorten the travel time, but avoid situations like trying to rush up a steep hill, stopping to discuss where your next destination should be. You never know if someone is looking at you and ready to open fire.

You should also keep a few of these tips in mind to make the trips less of a group that brings the group “closer to the grandparents”:

1. Release the throttle if you’re flying to avoid tipping over immediately after landing.
2. It was very difficult to hit the driver of the Buggy from behind.
3. Just try to hit someone you know you’ll hit
4. Most importantly, in Squad or Duo mode, always notify your teammates when you stop the vehicle to avoid unnecessary blood loss situations.

“Hearing” is not always worth picking up

If you see a supply crate near you and are dropped in the middle of some field, it’s best to ignore it and keep going.

Many cases of “hearing” bring more trouble to the player than supply them, especially the chests that fall in an open place like grassland. 90% of the time someone is looking at you when you try to run back to pick up supplies in the crate and are ready to kill you before you even get a hand on it.

If you really need to pick up supplies, wait patiently until someone picks them up and kills them. This is quite risky if the supply box is M24 or AWM. But it’s still safer than running straight into the muzzles of other players just trying to get supplies. You can also do a few laps around the supply box by car before going over to pick it up to see if anyone is waiting there. If you don’t think it’s worth it, don’t be shy and go.

Throwing grenades at the house is always a good way to clean that house

Towards the end of the game, the shrinking map means fewer houses to hide in. If you’re suspecting someone in the house you’re about to enter, throw a grenade in to check first. Towards the late game when everyone wants to control vision, they are usually on the upper floors so there is a high chance that throwing a pomegranate high up will always give you some lives.

If it doesn’t give you some lives then you can at least guess if someone is in the house by the sound of footsteps or they reveal their location when trying to dodge damage from a pomegranate.

Using grenades to determine the enemy’s position is always a useful tactic in house attacks. And if you don’t know, right-clicking before throwing will cause the character to roll the grenade down instead of throwing it.

By the name of a few basic hotspots

If you’re determined to stick with PUBG for a long time, it’s better to memorize a few map hotspots that you’ll feel familiar with in the near future. However, there are also some hot spots that are not named on the map, but will also have names given by the gaming community.

So in the next matches, if anyone suggests jumping in the Ruins, you’ll understand that it’s the area northwest of Rozhok, not the Ruins in Stalber.

In the early stages of the game, the element of luck will play a big role in who will get the gun first, so being on the map also means having a better solution when you hit the ground.
