_PUBG _ Season 7 has just landed and there's a myriad of new things for players to sink their teeth into. The chief among them, are the new locations to explore as well as a tweaked weapon lineup to try

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

Players and the map don't always interact in the most realistic or predictable way. Some rocky places in the Pubg tipsmap can quickly get a player stuck, unable to escape and forced to wait for an enemy or the blue circle to come around and finish them

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

The crossbow is very hard to rank amongst other weapons due to it being very different and unique. It is only the truly silent weapon, and it also packs an ability to one-shot any level Helmet in the game. However, its dreadful range and abysmal fire rate make it very less viable in an actual game. It is a niche weapon that can be used in case of urgency or if players are trying to have

The most popular game of its kind deserves placement on this list and praise for what it's accomplished for the battle royale genre. Fortnite has changed quite a bit since its release way back in 2017. The level of detail has improved significantly and it's added features like cross-platform play, new skins, and fish

As his consultancy role with Daybreak Game Company was coming to a close in 2015, Greene was approached by Chang-han Kim of Bluehole. Kim offered Greene the opportunity to develop a new battle royale-style game. After meeting with Kim at the studio’s South Korean headquarters, Greene was brought on as a creative director. Development for PUBG officially began in early 2016, with game seeing an early-access release in March 2017.

Another SMG making the list, Micro Uzi has been the star of the competitive show in recent times. When it comes to close-combat, Micro Uzi can decimate every other assault rifle in the game. The only downside of the gun is the lack of range and that players need to connect their bullets for better damage as Micro Uzi’s spray is very quick and rapid. The gun is easily available throughout a game, making it a very popular choice amongst high elo play

The two games are quite similar. They are both in the battle royale genre, where players are flown to a remote island where they fight each other to the last gamer standing. They have also introduced other modes that are more Team Deathmatch than battle roy

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

Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds or more popularly know as PUBG boasts a huge arsenal of weapons to choose from. Ranging from meager pistols to powerhouse rifles, there is a weapon for every scenario and playstyle. With a big roster of weapons comes the question as to which weapon players should priorit

A very low tier weapon, which is the worst one in the shotgun family. Even for a shotgun, Sawed-off has a pitiful range, and its pellets deal very low damage. Just like S686, it only has two rounds, which makes the gun a risky choice to roll w

In 2012, a modder by the name of Dean Hall released a mod for ARMA 2 called "DayZ." Its extreme survival focus being the result of Hall’s desire to create an experience that would cause its players to seriously consider their surroundings and survival needs, rather than just blindly reacting. As it turned out, many gamers out there were hungry for this new kind of gaming experience, and DayZ released to massive praise and popularity. So like ARMA 2 before it, DayZ also attracted a healthy modding community, and it wasn’t long before some members of that community starting trying to adapt the game’s survival elements for pvp-focused experiences. It wasn’t until a year later though, in 2013, that PlayerUnknown would make his debut and deliver one of the most influential DayZ mods to date, "PlayerUnknown’s Battle Royale."
