7 Noob friendly PUBG tips for Mobile.

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds—or PUBG as it’s known by fans—is finally available on mobile. The PC, Xbox One, and now Android and iOS smash hit may have lost some ground to Epic Games’ Fortnite in the ‘great battle royale war’, but Bluehole’s sandbox kill-fest reigns supreme on Android sitting on top of the Play Store with over ten million downloads.

For those new to the game, the first thing you should know is that PUBG is all about surviving until the bitter end in a 100-person free-for-all or as a team by any means necessary. Yet whether you’re the kind of player that likes to grab the best weapons you can find and go all guns blazing, or you opt for a more stealthy approach, there are some gameplay basics that apply to everyone that enters the battlefield.

In this guide, you’ll find some essential PUBG tips and tricks that will put you ahead of the pack in PUBG mobile and help you bag those sweet, sweet chicken dinners.

1.Choose where to land very carefully

Landing is everything. Knowing the best places to land can be a win or lose decision. There are certain hot spots on the maps that are always full of other people as these areas usually spawn better items. However landing here and getting those items might not always win you a game. There are several instances of people getting a sniper and 8x scope just upon landing only to be killed by a shotgun wielding enemy. If you are great at fighting with any gun or any other weapon then and only then land in places like this.

Places like Pochinki, Yasnaya Polyana, Military Base in Erangel, Los Leones, El Pozo in Miramar and Kampong, Cave and Bootcamp in Sanhok are very hot and sees a lot of traffic. In case you are interested in climbing the season ladder then make sure to avoid these areas. Only make risky plays when you have a Tier protection.

2.Choosing your outfit carefully

Everyone likes the idea of keeping their look sleek, however, that isn’t always the best idea in PUBG. According to the map you select and the area that you select to land in, you should choose the best colour coordinated outfit that helps you blend into the background. So even when you are freely roaming around in the open, you will be very hard to spot. This will lead to other players getting to know your location a bit too late when you have a perfect aim and start firing at them. Even if one or two players spot you roaming around and start shooting, you just need to start running in a zigzag pattern. That will make you avoid the bullets and after some time again get lost in the background.

Some good examples would be a pioneer shirt, padded camo jacket, grey/green combat pants, leather gloves, and hi-top trainers for the Erangel map, and for the Miramar map, players can opt for a bloody tank top, khaki combat pants, tan gloves, brown hi-top trainers, or just roam around naked (seriously). An exception that will work in all PUBG maps as camouflage is the Ghillie suit, which is only available in the crate drops.

3.Importance of peeking

Peeking is a very versatile and much-used option among the PUBG PC players and though this option is available on Mobile, most players don’t use it. Peeking is not turned on by default for players and in order to do so, users need to go to Settings > Basic and here enable the Peek and Fire option. This ought to enable the buttons in the game.

4.Customizing the graphics

Next comes the graphics of the game that can determine how well the game runs and how well players will be able to spot and kill enemies. These can be changed from Settings > Graphics, and though most people can stick with what they feel comfortable with. It is advised that users choose a graphics setting that gives optimum performance on the device that they are using while compromising on quality as little as they can.

5.Never engage in an ongoing battle .

Its a thumb rule, enemy of my enemy is my friend until the common enemy is dead, then you’re the enemy. Its better you let the heat die down a little and then march, see if you can kill. Even if you managed to get only a couple of kills, you’re still going to finish in top 10 every single time. Who knows, you might end up getting a chicken dinner.

6.Never run straight

Rickon Stark did the same thing and you know what happened to him at the battle of the bastards. Running straight in any direction is an easy target. Instead do zigzag, jump or crouch then zigzag. You’ll avoid hitting many bullets this way.

7.Hiding in shacks around enemies is a bad idea

This is one of the most common mistakes newbies make. Shacks have only one way out and you cant go outside from there. But you cant stay in because grenade or Molotov cocktails.
