PUBG: 5 Best Weapons In The Game (& The 5 Worst)

class=The two games are quite similar. They are both in the battle royale genre, where players are flown to a remote island where they fight each other to the last gamer standing. They have also introduced other modes that are more Team Deathmatch than battle roy

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

Like it or not, the battle royale craze doesn't seem to be going anywhere anytime soon. Commanding an incredibly large and rabidly dedicated base of fans all across the globe, gaming studios have been cranking out a near-endless stream of titles revolving around the concept, and established gaming cornerstones like Call of Duty and Battlefield have kept up by adopting battle royale game modes into their multiplayer sui

A very low tier weapon, which is the worst one in the shotgun family. Even for a shotgun, Sawed-off has a pitiful range, and its pellets deal very low damage. Just like S686, it only has two rounds, which makes the gun a risky choice to roll w

R45 was a pretty popular handgun back when it was released, but after the arrival of Desert Eagle, it has completely been forgotten. Its kill power pales whenever compared to Desert Eagle or classic R1895, and its magazine size or handling is nothing to brag about either. It’s hardly used nowadays and isn’t viable at all, especially in a competitive mode. R45 best fits as a makeshift weapon before a player find any primary weap

When PUBG was breaking records left and right and boasting player counts that gave Valve’s Dota 2 a run for its money, Bluehole seemed content to rest on their laurels and sporadically introduce updates while refusing to respond to player criticisms. The battle royale boom of early-to-mid 2018 saw them making money hand-over-fist, and a major reason for that was due to their popularity in the Chinese gaming space. As a result, the developer wasn’t all that keen on doing anything to harm an extremely profitable economy despite the fact that it came at the behest of Western play

Most publishers, however, won’t be willing to act on these suggestions. As previously mentioned, the Chinese market is often very lucrative, and region-locking won’t do away with the fundamental issue of cheating. A quarantine of all Chinese players will do nothing but frustrate both standard players and hackers alike in that area, and, should the region’s interest in the game fade because of an artificial blockade, Electronic Arts could stand Virtual Camaraderie to lose quite a bit of inco

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

For players who can't get into Fortnite or Call of Duty: Black Ops 4's Blackout battle royale mode, PUBG is certainly worth checking out, but only for those who have a PlayStation 4 Pro. The game can barely run on the standard PS4 and it's not even worth trying there. It's important to note that there's less available in the PlayStation 4 version of the g

PUBG Mobile is a game of advanced hide and seek. Regardless if said player has no weapons or all the best loot in the game, it's important to know when to run and when to fight. For example, if the player is close enough to another player, try and take the shot if the weapon the players have can connect from that range and ONLY if they can connect from that range. Taking the shot and not having the built connect not only will waste ammunition, but it will also reveal the player's location, prepping them for a fight they weren't ready to win. Shotguns have poor range but can dish out high amounts of damage in a closer range. Assault rifles are better for medium-range combat and do decent damage and sniper rifles can do high damage from far ranges, but it's harder to land this hit.
