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

Call of Duty: Mobile is a free-to-play mobile game with a battle royale mode. Naturally, as a game that entered the mobile market, it faced fierce competition in an already saturated market. To the surprise of many, Call of Duty: Mobile managed to distinguish itself from other mobile games with intuitive gamep

Subject to one of the most famously terrible and convoluted development cycles that the industry has ever borne witness to, the failure of Z1 Battle Royale is definitely one for the history books. Initially released as H1Z1 , it was essentially a Day Z knock-off cashing in on the survival cr

A Chinese redditor recently posted an attempt at explaining the culture surrounding gaming in their home country, and they seem to suggest that, for many of their peers, the ends justify the means when it comes to online gaming. While most Western gamers are apt to feel that a victory is meaningless if they cheated their way to the top, a significant number of gamers in China don’t share those same qua

Radical Heights is offline as of the writing of this article, so that should go a long way towards to explaining why it rates as the absolute worst. This '80s nostalgia-themed spin saw some initial promise when it released into early access on Steam, with gamers charmed by its neon-retro aesthetic and gimmicky game show presentat

You'll find instant enjoyment from playing Rules of Survival. It may not have the lasting appeal as some of the other games in this list, but we can admire it for its similarities to PlayerUnknown's Battlegrou

The new and improved Dinoland is a much, much more interesting version of the original Vikendi's Dino Park, and it has only become a hotter destination now that it looks less like a reject from Fallout New Vegas' Novac and more like a miniature version of Jurassic Park . Featuring a large greenhouse, a food court, an archaeological museum, and multiple areas players can use to climb either up or down to get an advantage on their opponents, Vikendi's new Dinoland area is perfect for dropping into and exploring, but don't expect to find the best loot th

Late to the game but certainly well worth the wait is Electronic Arts' Apex Legends . Apex Legends released in early 2019, a few years after PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. It utilizes character classes called 'Legends.' Each Legend is either offensive, defensive, support, or recon and plays a vital role in the success of a t

This technique is a bit tricky and will require a slight dissection to understand. 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

Unlike shotguns, Assault rifles can function as decent to extremely powerful mid to long-range weapons. Solidifying it as a much better weapon to rely on, even if it doesn't excel at close-range as shotguns do. Similarly, Sniper rifles are only really useful for long to mid-range combat, using a sniper at close range is always a death sentence, unless your aim is spectacular. This is where assault rifles establish superiority over the Sniper, while it is better at long range, it doesn't compare to the assault rifles util

While PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has a mobile version, this contrasts from Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Blackout and Call of Duty: Mobile, which are two distinct games. The level of detail and exploration in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Blackout make it an outstanding battle royale g

Whether it's loved or hated, it can't be said that this record-setting battle royale title doesn't wield an absolutely titanic amount of influence on the industry. With more than a quarter billion players registered as of March 2019, to say Fortnite is still going strong would be a massive understatem

The ability of a solid weapon to both, adequately, fulfill a player's major concerns is a blessing more than a curse. Rather than thinking of it as being inferior to the weapons that excel at certain ranges, think of it more like an all arounder type gun. It doesn't have the major drawbacks of other weapons found with other weapons in the pubg teams and Prize pool arse
