How to Become Better and Rise Through Ranks

If you are good at aiming for headshots, one should always go with AKM. If you are good with a sniper gun, then go for AWM gun with 8X zoom as it gives almost 100% damage in one shot. To protect your player from injuries from opponents, try to find high-level vests and helmets at the start of the game. Moving slowly would add great advantage when people are not able to hear your footsteps, and thus you can kill them with ease.

Choking points like standing on or at one side of a bridge and waiting for the enemy vehicle while play zone is getting shorter is a great strategy. Sneak close to your enemy while laying on ground if fighting you opponent in an open space gives an advantage. Equip your rifles with suppressors so that opponent should not come to know your exact location. Not to mention rifles and types of equipment coming in from Airdrop gives significant advantages but sometimes players are just waiting to poach you down if you happen to grab anything from drops.

At the end of the game when there is not more than 20 layers left, try to avoid going for the airdrop as much as you can. In PUBG your patience pays off, if you can see that a fight is going on between two or more players other than your tea, then just let it happen and then clear out the survivors.

Recently PUBG mobile lite version has been launched which smaller in size and runs on more devices, but what makes it stand apart is that no compromise has been done with the performance and amazing experience of the game.

Never Forget to Check Your Firing Mode

Just about every gun you pick up will have more than one firing mode--usually, single-shot and automatic. This is something you want to keep an eye on, and it’s easy to forget about. Even assault rifles default to single-shot when you pick them up, and if you forget to change it, you might be wondering why you can’t seem to get bullets to come out of your rifle as someone charges you.

Make sure you know before you switch off a gun or stow your weapons what firing mode you left it on (and generally, switch everything to automatic before you put it away). When you pull out a gun in the heat of the moment, you want it to act exactly as you expect--there are plenty of times when players die thinking they were about to spray an enemy with the lead but only wind up firing one shot because they forgot to reset their firing mode.
