The Rise and Fall of PUBG in India

The Rise and Fall of PUBG in India

Kami Terzieva is a gamer who plays Apex Legends, so it only makes sense she would choose to cosplay Loba, one of the best legends in the game . She almost looks like a younger version of this character based on the way her makeup allows her to look more youth

But it’s not just a social phenomenon. Video game branded clothing isn’t really that big in India, you'd only find it at select retailers or e-commerce sites. However, waves of knock-off PUBG branded apparel can be seen lining the street stores of fashion distri

Well, I think I’ve given you a brief idea of the popularity (or infamy) of PUBG Mobile in the country. While politicians and representatives were up in arms about the game and its effects, there wasn’t really much done by the government about it until September 5, 2

Revenant is a solid mid-range character, and mid-range weapons should be used. The fact is that the Stalker ability is useless unless actually close to enemies, the Death Totem needs to be used within a fairly reasonable range so you actually have the time to ambush enemies while in Death Protection, and his Silence ability can be flung far, but the best distance to use it is close-to-mid-range. As such, Revenant’s choice in weapons should reflect t

The red of her hair is so vibrant and her choice to use her gaming space as the background for her picture is something only a true gamer would do. This cosplay will make you believe that this character exists in the real world, especially as her outfit connects her even closer to L

At this point, the Kraber sniper rifle has become a legendary mythical entity among the Apex Legends community . This .50-caliber sniper rifle is a disgustingly powerful tool for destruction and it's hard to say who feels worse, the person using it or the individual they eliminated with a single headshot. The Kraber can hit multiple targets with a single shot as the bullets travel through legends even if they get knocked down. Be careful with your shots as 12 selective uses could result in literally making every bullet co

Revenant is a brutal being. This psychopathic synth has been terrorising the Outlands of Apex Legends for decades, and now he finds himself within the Apex Games , ready to wreak havoc and take some lives. We’ve already seen plenty from Revenant and his squabbles with fellow legend Loba , but if you haven’t spent a good amount of time playing with his unique abilities in battle then you probably still have a lot to le

That solution came in November, with the announcement of PUBG Mobile India, specifically crafted for the Indian market, much like China’s Game for Peace. "In-game content will be improved and tailored to reflect local needs. Various aspects of the game will be customised for Indian gamers, such as the game now being set in a virtual simulation training ground, new characters automatically starting clothed, and green hit effects to reflect the virtual nature of the game. More importantly, the company will include a feature that places restrictions on game time to promote healthy gameplay habits for younger players," said the announcement press rele

Titanfall walked as a franchise so Apex Legends could run and six seasons in, it feels like it's in a really good place. It's hard to keep up with live service games that are constantly updating, but hopefully, this list can help you figure out which guns to use in Season 12 Apex Legends 6 of Apex Legen

The map also features helicopters that fly on an automated route across the map and into the highlands, which you can only reach via helicopter. The choppers also drop off care packages that you can break open if you happen to be on the ground when one falls. These can feature full-body camo, ghillie suits, and a camo backp

Update 9.1 also adds the new map, Paramo, which features an active volcano and flowing lava across the landscape. It's also partly procedurally generated, so the new PUBG map feels different every time you play. However, because of the ever-shifting nature of the map, it's located in a separate matchmaking pool called Seasonal Match. Wins here will not count towards your sta

It seems like Season 6 in many ways is the time for light and small machine guns. Both the LMG and SMG classes have greatly improved from the faster time-to-kill. The R-99 is an incredible weapon, but due to it being exclusive to care packages it's hard to have it higher on the list. Along with its relegation to care packages its damage increased by a point, which added alongside its speed made it much more dangerous. It can rip through shields at lightning speeds and is a must-have if you come across

Multiple sensationalist news articles about PUBG related deaths featured across various online news outlets as if India had finally arrived at its satanic panic phase. Politicians from all over the country went up in arms about this evil game ruining the lives of impressionable children. Even Prime Minister Modi addressed the topic at an education-related event in India. Lastly, almost every news, finance, content, lifestyle, sports, or e-commerce site started churning out PUBG related content to boost their SEO numbers. As you can imagine, a video game journalist in India couldn’t help but feel a bit satura
