5 Reasons Why PUBG Is The Definitive Battle Royale Game (& 5 Why It's Fortnite)

Fortnite also adds new skins and dance moves constantly, so there is always something to entice players to go back to the game. The seasons also wrap up pretty fast compared to other esports games, and each new season brings its own challenges and features. In short, Fortnite is a game that is always evolving and getting bet

PUBG has something like a closed environment; the changes and updates they implement are often things they have already planned, and gamers rarely have any input. But this changes with Fortnite , which is what makes this game so popu

There isn’t one particular weapon that rules the game, and a lot depends on the player’s playstyle. However, it becomes very apparent, very fast, that there are high tier and low tier weapons in PUBG teams and prize pool , and even though every weapon is competent in wiping out enemies, some produce better results than others. Here is a list of the best weapons in the game as well as duds that should be avoi

Playerunknown's Battleground ** _s** _ is a deeply complex and realistic take on the battle royale genre. Providing realistic shooting mechanics on top of a vast assortment of techniques that challenge a player's technical skill. PUBG is as rewarding as it can be brutal, the ability to continually expand the skill gap between a new player and a master is rooted in both game knowledge and pract

R45 was a pretty popular handgun back when it was released, but after the arrival of Desert Eagle, it has completely been forgotten. Its kill power pales whenever compared to Desert Eagle or classic R1895, and its magazine size or handling is nothing to brag about either. It’s hardly used nowadays and isn’t viable at all, especially in a competitive mode. R45 best fits as a makeshift weapon before a player find any primary weap

Sure, the core gameplay serves up a decent portion of enjoyability for those who simply want to dive in and do battle against others, as patience and persistence with figuring out the mechanics of PUBG on PS4 typically results in a more satisfying time each go-round. That said, the decisions behind specific control scheme choices for the DualShock 4 seem odd, and periodically makes for a needlessly steep learning curve. This is particularly evident in scenarios such as a tap of the Square button picking up and equipping items in the field, but needing to be held down in order to reload. Furthermore, holding L2 causes one to aim in third-person, while tapping that trigger will give players a first-person iron sights view, which is incredibly difficult to adapt to, much less master. Therefore, it's highly recommended to give Training Mode a try first before playing an actual ma

M416 is the only non-air-drop 5.56 weapon that is still in the high tier. Even though it has been nerfed multiple times in the past, the gun still is a solid option that is fit for every situation. It’s way more versatile than any other assault rifle in the same class, and overall, it has been an old faithful for most play

Unless you are a top tier player in shooting games, dropping further away from "hot" areas is probably the safest course of action for survival. This will allow a player to find strong or average gear and weapons without the threat of an enemy player's pressure. There is one main technique that can keep players away from the hot zones of P

Kicking off with a surprising entry, Vector has become a complete beast after the SMG buffs. Its overall customizability and the ease of access makes it a top tier gun. Players can easily find Vector in the early stages of the game, and when fully equipped, it can beat out anything in close range. However, the gun does struggle without an Extended Mag as its mag size is very low. It’s also not appropriate for long-range fights where it can easily be beaten out by other g

All of this is not to say that PUBG on PS4 isn't fun, as it's definitely a serviceable experience for Battle Royale aficionados who want a more strategic and deliberately paced alternative to competitors like Fortnite and Black Ops 4 's Blackout . Unfortunately, though, there are still a host of problems that PUBG Corp. needs to address so as to justify the PlayStation 4 port's $30 price

Most games nowadays are monetized by loot boxes, where gamers pay actual cash for in-game items that aren’t guaranteed. It is a form of gambling, and it preys on young and vulnerable gamers. So, it’s a breath of fresh air to realize that Fortnite ’s microtransaction system is the Battle Pass, which is basically a seasonal subscript

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
