SCAR-L: Players who don't fancy "single-shots" with assault rifles will most likely cling onto the SCAR-L due to its impressive rate of rapid-fire. It's the most effective rifle when it comes to "mowing down" other players it can do hefty damage. It doesn't have the best range, but for close-quarter skirmishes, this is a prime assault rifle to h

Acknowledging the faults this weapon holds is important to understand its strengths. The assault rifles in the game are the Jacks of all trades but master of none, and that's okay. It does a serviceable job in almost all facets of PUBG's game ty

Needless to say, PUBG quickly rose up the charts on Steam and among influencers on Twitch and YouTube to dethrone H1Z1 and hit record levels of concurrent players. Despite a small development cycle and small dev team (since renamed PUBG Corporation), PUBG became a phenomenon as an early access games as a service title, so much so, that Microsoft signed a one-year exclusivity deal to bring it to Xbox by the end of 2

SKS: This sniper rifle is probably the least popular of the bunch, but it does have a really good range (if players manage to find a good scope). However, the slow rate-of-fire and low damage reduce this rifle to be nothing, but a default sniper rifle. It's good to have if players are in need of a long-range rifle, but there are better alternatives for s

We played PUBG's PS4 version throughout launch week where none of the game's modes could be played in first-person due to a lack of players (according to the in-game notification), and played it this week to see how it's evolved after becoming the most downloaded PS4 game in December. Currently only solo play is available in first-person so players can only play with friends or matchmake with others in third-person. Most games we play in any mode cannot fill the full 100 player cap and load times are s

When PUBG was breaking records left and right and boasting player counts that gave Valve’s Dota 2 a run for its money, Bluehole seemed content to rest on their laurels and sporadically introduce updates while refusing to respond to player criticisms. The battle royale boom of early-to-mid 2018 saw them making money hand-over-fist, and a major reason for that was due to their popularity in the Chinese gaming space. As a result, the developer wasn’t all that keen on doing anything to harm an extremely profitable economy despite the fact that it came at the behest of Western play

This is unnecessary and breaks the flow of the entire game and also potentially wastes a lot of time. Which is why everyone must only pick the items and attachments they need. This helps in two ways, one, players will always have a lot of ammo for the weapon they use, and two, the bag will remain empty for other health it

Of course, anything can happen on PUBG . The players on the map will be placed within a "bluish ring" that periodically shrinks when squads begin to dwindle. This forces everyone to move to a more confined space, which naturally helps move the match along. Loot is found in crates that are randomly generated at the beginning of each match. This is how players find their weapons and other items to customize their loadout and get ready for the crazy battle ahead. Now, with Season 7 being available, there is even more craziness that coincides with the planes, trains, and automobiles on the island. With the Survivor Pass: Cold Front , the snowy region 'Vikendi' had been revamped and there are new; updates, items, and places to discover. First, on consoles, there are now 'bots' available to help fill up servers and give new players a more fighting chance to gain their bearings. New players that were having a difficult time "cutting their teeth" with PUBG will now have room to breathe. Plus, Vikendi now has freshly structured snowy plains, a roaring train, and an abandoned dino-themed amusement park to skirmish

It's just you, a straightforward perspective and absolutely no cheese at all. It makes sound much more important too, as now with your reduced perspective you have to rely on all of your senses. Another caveat is you pay a lot more attention to the detail and AI digital ecosystem the graphics of the g

While we take great joy in comparing these two battle royale titans, Fortnite really should be in a different league of it's own. PUBG is a traditional battle royale game, but Fortnite is not only battle royale, but Minecraft too. In the game you have to gather supplies and build to survive -- it's honestly quite bizarre when you really exam it. In the middle of a heated battle you could be mining for stone and build a four-story house. And don't think you'll get very far without utilizing these mechanics, as some of the best players have gotten that way by becoming master build

Fortnite on the other hand reeks of personality, so much so that they were even able to thread a story through all of it's themes. Despite not having reality breaking graphics, it's still just such a fun game to look at and play, and that's a testament to the st
