5 Reasons Why PUBG Is The Definitive Battle Royale Game (& 5 Why It's Fortnite)

Playerunknown's Battleground ** _s** _ is a deeply complex and realistic take on the battle royale genre. Providing realistic shooting mechanics on top of a vast assortment of techniques that challenge a player's technical skill. PUBG is as rewarding as it can be brutal, the ability to continually expand the skill gap between a new player and a master is rooted in both game knowledge and pract

While we take great joy in comparing these two battle royale titans, Fortnite really should be in a different league of it's own. PUBG is a traditional battle royale game, but Fortnite is not only battle royale, but Minecraft too. In the game you have to gather supplies and build to survive -- it's honestly quite bizarre when you really exam it. In the middle of a heated battle you could be mining for stone and build a four-story house. And don't think you'll get very far without utilizing these mechanics, as some of the best players have gotten that way by becoming master build

As with all games, this downward trend in player count likely has a considerable amount to do with the game’s age. Few titles can boast the continued popularity of software like CS:GO or Team Fortress 2 , and, according to Steam Charts , this update did virtually nothing to draw players back to the game. While its status as a willing victim of player mal-intent couldn’t have helped, it’s likely that PUBG is succumbing to simple entr

Fans from around the world have long asked Bluehole to block Chinese players from accessing other regions, and Eastern metaverse gaming titan Tencent even introduced a host of region-exclusive servers for PUBG Mobile in the hopes that it would incentivize players based in China to stay within their digital territ

The vehicle dismount trick is one that allows players to escape a car or bike at max speed without taking any damage for leaving the car. This requires tight control over the given vehicle and any mistakes will spell death for that player. Essentially, this trick is just jumping out of a car while driving close to a stationary object. By dismounting right as you pass that object it will take the impact for you and not dish any fall damage. So by driving close to a tree, a player can dismount, while their vehicle continues moving at max speed and not die because of

All the given tips will transform an aspiring novice to an elite level player in PUBG . Without practice though, they are simply obsolete tips. So be sure to practice and master these tips and you will be on the path to elite level play before l

Fortnite on the other hand reeks of personality, so much so that they were even able to thread a story through all of it's themes. Despite not having reality breaking graphics, it's still just such a fun game to look at and play, and that's a testament to the st

What’s more, while restricting server access on a continental basis is fairly common and simple to implement, forcing every player in a single country or continent to stick to native servers would be a nearly insurmountable challenge. Should EA and Respawn force all Asian players into the same space, the entire region might find the game unplaya

PUBG ( PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds ) and Fortnite are two of the hottest video games in the world of any genre. From the time they launched, these two video games have each attracted millions of players, helped to create the careers of numerous streamers and have spawned a legion of memes . They are, without a doubt, two of the most popular games of this generat

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

It not only masks your presence in or through a building but it can also serve as a powerful warning sign for incoming players. Shutting doors creates the facade that the room has yet to be looted. It can mask your presence in a building or simply waste an enemy player's time. It also provides a distinct auditory cue that an enemy player is inbound. Allowing for proper setup and the upper hand in combat engageme

One of the biggest drawbacks of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds on PS4 comes from its lack of polish, as it's almost a given that one will come across texture and detail pop-ins every time they decide to play a round. On top of this, there are some janky animations that can't be ignored, as well as other frequent object rendering issues. What's more is that the bland aesthetics and environments in PUBG leave a lot to be desired, with virtually every area on the game's available maps being nearly indistinguishable from one another, especially on the desert map Miram
