In response to the uncertain state of PUBG , fans of other multiplayer-focused titles have urged developers to region-lock Chinese players. Most notably, battle royale fans currently enjoying EA and Respawn Entertainment’s Apex Legends are adamant about curtailing the flow of hack

Most publishers, however, won’t be willing to act on these suggestions. As previously mentioned, the Chinese market is often very lucrative, and region-locking won’t do away with the fundamental issue of cheating. A quarantine of all Chinese players will do nothing but frustrate both standard players and hackers alike in that area, and, should the region’s interest in the game fade because of an artificial blockade, Electronic Arts could stand to lose quite a bit of inco

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 Hitman Go Mobile-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

Mosin-Nagant: This is the newest rifle to be found in Season 7. It's essentially the same as the Kar98k , but it just looks a little different. Being a bolt-action sniper rifle, it can do quite a bit of damage and even tear through top-tier armor. However, it takes a little time to load the next shot. With a good scope, players can easily be a "Ghost In The Wind", while plugging players from afar. Just be sure to stay out of si

The ability of a solid weaponto both, adequately, fulfill a player's major concerns is a blessing more than a curse. Rather than thinking of it as being inferior to the weapons that excel at certain ranges, think of it more like an all arounder type gun. It doesn't have the major drawbacks of other weapons found with other weapons in the PUBG arse

Vector: This is one machine gun that can easily turn the tides with any shootout. By default, it doesn't come with many bullets. So, if possible, finding an extended magazine can double players' chances for survival. This is especially true for close-range fights that have little wiggle-room for players to avoid fire. However, if players keep seeing themselves in firefights that are at distance, it is best to switch to something else and save the Vector for a rainy

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

Players familiar with the first-person shooter genre are more than likely aware of the varying functions that a gun will serve in a match. Shotguns are for close range, Pistols are for short-range and finishing off weak enemies, sniper-rifles are for long-range, but how do we navigate what purpose Assault rifles serve? And the question is not an easy one to answer, but we will expand upon how Assault rifles can be u

As mentioned before the Assault rifle is a player's all-around useful tool. It is serviceable in close-range and in long-range fights. But to truly make use of this reality players must learn some key concepts to gain the most mileage from this wea

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

Within the game, you'll notice what may be the worst texture pop-in you've seen on the PlayStation 4, severe frame rate drops and the clunkiest shooting and looting mechanics. To play as a shooter experience, PUBG is bad and so it shouldn't be played for that. What it does well however, and this part translates to every version of the game (even on mobile), is the feeling of survival and when playing with others, the team-based tact

On top of having powerful weaponry, understanding which sites to use is another important concept to comprehend. Ideally, your long-range weapon would have one of the many long-range oriented scopes in the game. Likewise, your close-ranged weapon should have a red dot sight or a holographic sight in order to improve accuracy in tight firefights. But with the wide array of sites, how does one decide which sites are their ideal and optimal choices? That decision must be made by the player. There exists a wide range of preferences in PUBG so practice is essential to discover and become comfortable with all the different sites found in a
