While PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is far from the first Battle Royale game to exist, its early access release on PC during the first quarter of 2017 unquestionably kick-started a resurgence of the genre. Ever since then, myriad developers have been keen to introduce a bunch of different takes on this type of survival and last-man-standing gameplay. For example, Activision and Treyarch brought Blackout to Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 , Red Dead Online introduced its own unique Battle Royale game mode called "Make It Count", and of course, Epic Games found massive success in turning Fortnite 's Battle Royale into a free-to-play phenomenon. Now, with PUBG 's arrival on PlayStation 4 having occurred nearly two years after its introduction to the masses, it begs the question of whether or not the game is actually a necessity for Battle Royale fans on PS4, or a perfunctory shooter that made its leap onto the Sony console far too l

PUBG MOBILE aims to be the most realistic and intense action game possible, so we felt that recognizable characters from the show would match the tone of the game more than the dramatic, stylized art of the comic ser

If you don’t finish the target in the first two rounds or if the enemy is 10 meters away, then Sawed-off becomes a liability. It has the highest potential damage out of any other handgun, but it also has the lowest effective ra

Within the game, you'll notice what may be the worst texture pop-in you've seen on the PlayStation 4, severe frame rate drops and the clunkiest shooting and looting mechanics. To play as a shooter experience, PUBG is bad and so it shouldn't be played for that. What it does well however, and this part translates to every version of the game (even on mobile), is the feeling of survival and when playing with others, the team-based tact

There's fun to be had as a social experience, and PUBG is certainly better than the sum of its many subpar parts, but the resources earned through the record-breaking success of PUBG have not translated into a game that holds up in the current climate of high-end shooters, and we can only hope that if major updates (or a sequel of sorts) are on the way, that PUBG's success supports a triple-A experience instead of a frustrating one that looks and feels dated. But given where we're at now, after nearly two years since its first release, and the fact that PUBG Corporation released the game in this state on PS4, there's little h

On top of having powerful weaponry, understanding which sites to use is another important concept to comprehend. Ideally, your long-range weapon would have one of the many long-range oriented scopes in the game. Likewise, your close-ranged weapon should have a red dot sight or a holographic sight in order to improve accuracy in tight firefights. But with the wide array of sites, how does one decide which sites are their ideal and optimal choices? That decision must be made by the player. There exists a wide range of preferences in PUBG so practice is essential to discover and become comfortable with all the different sites found in a

AKM: The AKM is one of the stronger assault rifles to use in PUBG . With one or two headshots, opponents (with lower-tier armor) will go down like a sack of potatoes. It also has a rather healthy range when shot in "small bursts." With a good scope, this rifle should be looked at as a solid alternative for sniping. Going hog-wild while spraying enemies with rapid-fire are best used secondar

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds offers the chance to explore and scrap through the three gigantic maps of Miramar, Erangel, and Sanhok–with Vikendi having just recently entered the Public Test Server to boot. One's tasked with scrounging for consumables, armor, and weapons to survive matches populated with up to 100 players, as a storm circle slowly encroaches and forces those still alive to duke it out in tense, ever-closer firefights. This can be done as a Solo endeavor, or in Duos and 4-person Squads, but the goal essentially remains the same no matter the size of the team, and that is to be the only survivor(s) at the end of the ma

The pubg Beginner guide MOBILE dev team takes a careful look at the opportunity presented by the partnership to determine what they’d like to see reflected in the game. We felt it would be fun to create unique fashions based on Godzilla as well as including huge footprints and sightings of the giant monster in the water off the coast of Ehrangel. For The Walking Dead , it was obvious that we needed to bring in the four most iconic characters from the show and give them a new battleground in PUBG MOBILE. And we couldn’t bring in Michonne without her katana, Daryl without his bike, Rick without his hat or Negan without Luci

Over the last year, there have been some unique and fun integrations that have come to PUBG MOBILE as a result of collaborating with celebrities, athletes, movies, TV shows, video games and other brands. We’re expecting the PUBG MOBILE community to have a huge response to what we’re doing with TWD, so we can’t rule out working with them again in the fut
