PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds PS4 Review: Ugly and Unfinished

Another SMG making the bird that drinks tears video game list, Micro Uzi has been the star of the competitive show in recent times. When it comes to close-combat, Micro Uzi can decimate every other assault rifle in the game. The only downside of the gun is the lack of range and that players need to connect their bullets for better damage as Micro Uzi’s spray is very quick and rapid. The gun is easily available throughout a game, making it a very popular choice amongst high elo play

There isn’t much to say about AWM except it has by far the highest damage in the game. A single headshot from AWM is capable enough to knock out a player with level 3 Helmet. The gun is incredible in every possible way and is air-drop exclusive, rightfully so. AWM deals maximum damage up to the range of 150 meters after which, its damage starts to fall till the range of 679 met

Fortnite and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, better known as PUBG, are the two biggest battle royales to date. As of March 2019, the most recent data, Fortnite has a registered player count of 250 million users, blowing PUBG on PC's player count of 500,000 users out of the wa

PUBG has brought a whole new meaning to the word sterile. Even today the game looks like an earlier edition of Call of Duty that was stripped down to it's barest of bones. The only personality it has that comes to mind is the iconic level three helmet and the frying pan, but there's not much more than t

Level three vests and backpacks regularly spawn in the Abbey, and the amount of assault rifles and ammo located with its religious halls means that any squad who gets there first usually has a good chance of keeping it properly defended. The Abbey is a great place to visit, but if players are looking to take part in what could possibly be PUBG's single biggest building shoot-out ever, they should look instead to the Cosmodr

Even if we compare the OG maps from these two games it's a bit of a toss up as to which is the winner. Sure Fortnite has Tilted Towers, but PUBG has School; and in case you don't play the latter, School is a place where half of the lobby's players drop resulting in a massacre that leaves only one or two survivors who are barely clinging to life. But that's just the OG maps, PUBG now has four unique maps, all of which are just as good as the original in their own rights. Fortnite is finally making an alteration to it's original map, so there's not much competition h

It is a big mistake as other players are already looking in that area. The best way is to travel to a small cabin or house near the edge of the potential blue zone marker. A lot of such homes are one way and do not allow players to jump other players who are hiding. Continually keeping the corner will always give you the edge. No p

Surrounded by hot springs on both sides, Cantra is perfectly located for either a very early or very late plane drop. The differences in terrain levels mean players on the low end may feel a little exposed, but the quality of loot and amount of sniper gear which usually spawns in the area is worth it, and the open courtyards of the town are adequately peppered with objects like cars and table which provide good cover for pushing in on an enemy t

Here is a fundamental tip, do not hoard items in your backpack. What it means is do not spam the pick button on everything and anything in sight. Doing so will mostly result in accessing the inventory more times than aver

This is the part where many gamers rightfully bash PUBG into the the grave that it deserves to die in after introducing it's shady business practices. First, charge for a game that's an unfinished buggy mess that continued to be an unfinished buggy mess for years to come. Second, bring in a shady micro-transaction lottery system that rewards you with crappy cosmetic items for a bloated price. Third, copy the fair and successful battle pass formula that Fortnite has implemented since the start of the series. Boy are those PUBG devs shady, and while the Epic Game's higher ups are no less shady, they at least implemented fair business practices in their most profitable g

Acknowledging the faults this weapon holds is important to understand its strengths. The assault rifles in the game are the Jacks of all trades but master of none, and that's okay. It does a serviceable job in almost all facets of PUBG's game ty

Here is a tip for most PC gamers. Use the lowest possible settings in the game. The reason is pretty simple, and more frames mean a higher chance to dominate. But just reducing everything to Low will not help. Smartly lower the settings, keeping the ones useful for multiplayer, act

One thing that will almost always amplify the survival rate is being aware of the environments. A lot of players in PUBG run around randomly without understanding the situation and go down in a few quick shots, which is why it is essential to run from cover to co

PUBG's Season 7 provides a dangerous new environment for players to traverse, but thankfully they won't have to worry about things like falling through the ice or dying from hypothermia. Instead, players will have to keep an eye on moving trains, evidence of vehicle traffic, and the ever-present looming blue circle which, while it still does the same amount of damage as gamers are used to, provides a smaller initial safe area than people are used to. There are a number of new and revised areas in Season 7's version of Vikendi, and some of the best ones to drop into are detailed be
