Mini 14: The Mini 14 is widely considered one of the best sniper rifles in the game. This is mainly because it has a rather high rate-of-fire which makes it both an effective sniper rifle (with a good scope) and a close-range assault rifle. It doesn't give the best damage, but well-placed shots can take out opponents fairly eas

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

As mentioned, the circle is the biggest threat in the game besides the players. This circle can dish out large amounts of damage the longer the game goes on. Make sure to pay close attention to the minimap as it provides the player with the location of the circle and how much time before it begins to close again. Also, using vehicles is an excellent way to travel across the map in short amounts of time. Vehicles can be rare though, so once the player finds one, hold on to it close and use it as an advantage. The circle can also be used as a weapon of the players' own. By pinning a player in a tough situation while the circle is behind them, the opponent has to make a tough decision. Either move forward and get shot at or wait hit until the circle takes them. Spacing this out can be advantage

**PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds ** quickly changed the game industry substantially after releasing in early access in March 2017. It took all the learnings (and namesake) of Brendan Greene Artemis "PlayerUnknown" Greene's previous works - where he crafted battle royale modes within ARMA 2's DayZ mod and consulted on Sony Online Entertainment's H1Z1 - and brought forth the large-scale and gritty battle royale experience together with Korean developer Bluehole, Inc. for which Greene serves as Creative Direc

Known as **PUBG ** for short, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is a massive PvP competitive shooter that can be played solo, with a friend, or with a squad of four, in first-person and third-person. The goal is to jump from a plane and land somewhere on one of the game's maps, gather weapons and gear, and survive until the end as the playable map area continuously shrinks. It's the go-to formula that every major shooter brand is looking into and its mainstream success started with PUBG - of which Fortnite admittedly copied and made even more popu

For players who can't get into Fortnite or Call of Duty: Black Ops 4's Blackout battle royale mode, PUBG is certainly worth checking out, but only for those who have a PlayStation 4 Pro. The game can barely run on the standard PS4 and it's not even worth trying there. It's important to note that there's less available in the PlayStation 4 version of the g

What's also a letdown is PUBG's development focus that has seen a slow rollout of content and essential fixes, consistently poor optimization, and an aggressive focus on unwelcome microtransactions for cosmetics, and worse, loot boxes. When combined with a terrible reward rate of in-game currency, PUBG's gameplay loop is simply a turn

One of Vikendi's most popular areas before the map was pulled from PUBG rotation , the Abbey returns in a slightly altered and much less accessible format here. Previously larger and located in the southern middle of the map, now the Abbey has been moved to the top of Mount Kreznic. Despite its remote location, however, players should seriously consider the Abbey as a great place to either drop in on or swing by on the way to the circle, even if getting there from ground level takes a little longer than it used

UMP9: The UMP9 is a good all-around SMG that can go the distance with any match. Even though it eats bullets like popcorn, it uses 9mm bullets which are scattered all over the map like Christmas candy. So, players will clearly have no shortage of ammunition with it. It's most deadly at close to medium range and can be effective at chewing up other players' health status'. It's maybe not the best at using it as a primary weapon, but it's a handsome choice as a secondary

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

PUBG Mobile brings a massively successful battle royale game to an entirely new audience. This is important for bringing in new players and building the community beyond just its PC counterpart. On its release, PUBG mobile was one of the most downloaded games on Android. The game continues to grow as its developer continues to support it. While mobile games do not contain the most accurate gaming controls, this is still a great way to pick up a massively multiplayer online experience for the players' pockets. With more patch notes and content updates, PUBG Mobile will continue to thrive in all of its involved mark
