The weapons in Fortnite are designed to look and feel playful. However, the ones in PUBG are realistic in both looks and feel. When the player shoots a gun in PUBG , they have to take into account the gun-specific recoil and how much they should adjust their gun after taking each shot. Since missing a shot might alert an opponent and make them hide or flee, one has to make each shot count. Reloading speed is also a factor that depends on the type of gun one

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 arse

As mentioned before the Assault rifle is a player's all-around useful tool. It is serviceable in close-range and in long-range fights. But to truly make use of this reality players must learn some key concepts to gain the most mileage from this wea

The next big update for **PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds ** is finally about to go live after a few minor delays.

The devs claims it's required in order to test.Below are the official patch notes and details on the newest weapon being added to PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. Also note that this is the last blog update by Brandan "PlayerUnknown" Greene for a while as he'll be travelling for the next few months. The community team will handle future update/patch po

Now onto the new crates themselves. Here is a look (up top and below) at some of the items available in the 2 free-to-open crates. There's an additional one only available during Gamescom that requires the purchase of a $2.50 key to o

Engaging in a close-range battle is much easier to grasp. Simply put, adopting a spray and pray attitude can grant players some easy kills due to the full-auto and burst features on most assault rifles. Even without a proper sight attached to the gun players can fire from the hip and effectively take out a pesky enemy in no time. However, doing so can be a waste of precious ammunition and a death sentence for late-game fights. So good advice would be to always have a close to mid-range sight on your weapon to utilize in case an enemy manages to sneak up on you. And try your best to use positional advantage and aiming down your sight to take out the enemy more effectively. This will save players from using up all their ammo and provide a better loadout for late-game fig

Added new weapon Mk14 EBR (Enhanced Battle Royale Restrictions Rifle). Mk14 EBR is a Designated Marksman Rifle that can only be obtained from Carepackages. This weapon is chambered for 7.62mm and sniper rifle attachments

The Mk14 is a semi-auto sniper rifle weapon comparable to the game's current SKS, as another crate-only weapon however, the chances of getting it (and other care package items) is becoming increasingly rare. With the previous rifle add-on (the Groza), soon the game will have to cycle some of these weapons into the regular loot ta

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
