PUBG: Successful communication guide to survive playing squad

Poor communication in PUBG will get you killed. Use the method used in Arma 3 to report hazards.

Communication is a skill in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. Game with open map, 8×8 km area creates long-range gunfights and continuous ambushes, increasing the value of precise communication.

If you want to really get to the top, improving communication skills will contribute more than shooting skills. Avoid letting teammates die because of vague information like “There’s a guy over here… on the left!” Here is a guide, including the notification method developed by professional Arma players.

Don’t show off the gear you just picked up

“The key to success is short and concise communication.”

A lot of nice people that the author of the article has played PUBG with have the belief that once the team has enough guns, we will win. People struggling to get enough supplies often make constant comments about any item they see, where, and gradually turn the game into a gun upgrade game to the fullest. “Does anyone want this shotgun?…Let’s see, there’s a level 2 cap here… I found some painkillers, anyone need it to heal?… OK, there’s AK ammo in the garage, do you want me to get it? ?… Does anyone need red-dot?”

“Always Pay Attention” is one of the most important resources in PUBG. Gear is also important, but always trying to get enough toys will adversely affect the team’s ability to hear threats and focus. This isn’t Diablo – you’re in a sandbox that automatically shrinks, with 90 other players hunting for you. Please keep quiet, take the precious items you see and wait for the opportunity to exchange things with each other. Minimizing the constant talking will help the team to observe and always think ahead of all possible situations.

And the experienced person will loot things in silence. be quiet, and protect his team by listening for dangers)}

Communicating by this method

Military strategy Sun Tzu said, “Judging the situation, gaining victory, surveying the dangerous terrain, calculating far and near, these are the methods that a good general must master. If you master the method and then command the battle, you will surely win, if you don’t master the method, you will take care of the operation and you will lose.” (Chapter 10 Military Law Sun Tzu). This teaching holds true in Battlegrounds: fight danger effectively.

Professional gamers have learned lessons from the teachings when the game PUBG was not born. Over a decade ago, ShackTac has always been the model for organized Arma gaming – a community that follows the rules of the military and war roles, primarily for fun.

ShackTac’s founder and leader, Dslyecxi, wrote a 350-page guide to Arma 3 called Arma 3 Tactical Guide. In the tutorial, Dslyecxi showed a communication structure in the order of: alert, orient, describe, and explain.

1. Warning

“Someone!”

If you see the other person, say or shout “There is someone.”

Practicing saying “There are people” in any announcement will immediately bring attention to what you are going to say about a sighted enemy. It’s an enemy alert, letting everyone know it’s not a normal voice chat (Situations like “Vehicle”, “Enemy.” Alerts like “Sniper” (gunner) ) or “Someone’s coming!” can also help, as they convey menace, and approximate distance, in a few short words.)

2. Direction

“…northeast!”

“Location” is the next thing you should report after an alert. The mistake most players make is using vague words: one person is on the “left” side, maybe someone else’s “right” side, and a small one in “that building” has can… be anywhere.

“Here,” “there,” “left,” “right,” “behind,” and such descriptive words should be limited. Unless the position of the team and the direction of facing is the same (for example, everyone is sitting in the same car), try to use a compass wherever possible.

3. Quantity description

“…two people!”

Usually: how many enemies. You can remove this information if you play PUBG in duo mode.

4. Explanation

“…running towards us!”

Interpreting valuable information like this will help your team decide when and how to engage. Try to predict the enemy’s intentions by looking at the map and the circle – what will they do next?

You can estimate distances using your location on the map, along with landmarks on the map. Each small square on the PUBG map is equivalent to 100m, and a large square is one kilometer.

Examples

As mentioned in the Dslyecxi guide, the key to success is short and concise communication.

Ways of good notice:

“There are two people, 90, on the hill.”

“The vehicle in the distance, north, is moving away from us.”

:”Sniper, northeast, directly opposite us, sit.”

“Someone’s nearby, big rock, left!”

Above is an example of how to report the error “direction:” right there to your right, next to the tree to your left… that tree.”

Bad ways to report:

“He was on the left behind….hmm… the house I was in before, he was next to it, in the middle of the trees.” (Too general)

“There they are! You two, shooting!” (Vague)

“Yeah, Ok, okay, I see you two – they’re… moving east on the green side of Dacia, down the street, next to the cafe with the neon sign on the map, turn left, there are three followers in piha1 later, and I think one of them had a Kar-98 with 8x aiming because they were just in the supply crate we saw earlier.” (Information not required.)

“Ah, ah, ah! Help!” (Panic)

Talking about the location of the fall

The most often heard saying in PUBG is: “Now… where to go?” Here are a few quick tips to ensure a safe fall:

1. Notice the drop location clearly

2. Recommend a backup plan (“If Mylta has too many people, land at the green marker and we’ll get on the bus.“)

3. Clearly state the direction (“Fly East,” “Turn 330”)

4. Countdown (“3…2…1…jump!”)

5. Redirection

6. Use slang words for buildings, geometry or color to describe details while flying down.

The map alphabetical system was originally used to increase reporting accuracy. But since there is a marking system on the map, the use of the alphabet is no longer necessary.

Addendum – slang terms and words

“Move to red/blue/green/yellow”

“Being shot [không trúng người]” with. “I was hit by bullets” vs “I was lying down”

Use the sentences above instead of saying long paragraphs. Yelling in panic will endanger teammates because a lot of players will leave their safe positions to get information.

“Say again, [tên đồng đội]”

Answer “What?” When you don’t know what you just heard, it will be very vague.

“No” and “Killed” [1,2,3,4]”

Always distinguish between No and a network when submitting information. When playing against another squad, always let everyone know how many kills you have. Did we kill them all? This is important in the early game, or when cleaning each building.

“Having an empty car” vs. “Vehicle is running”

Instantly eliminates confusion between dangerous vehicles and empty cars.

“Gather along/at [tôi/vị trí]

“Throw Grenade (Grenade)” vs “Have Grenade Come”

Are you about to throw a grenade, or have a grenade thrown at you? Use different words to describe those situations and save lives.

“Left to right,” or “traverse”

Describing an enemy that is running past you can be a bit difficult to describe. A good report would look like this: “Enemy heading northeast, 45, moving from right to left, towards Georgopol.”

“Seventh Ammo” “Five Five”

Do you have ammo for rifles (m4/ak), but what kind?
