PUBG Hints & Tips

[TheDvEight]

Thought I'd make one of these for new and seasoned members alike, feel free to add to post and i'll edit 1st post.

1: Teamwork...Seems obvious no? - communicating with your team will greatly improve your chances of getting a chicken dinner be it asking for ammo/items or calling out where enemies.

2: Stick together - Going 'Rambo' will hurt and hinder your team unless your very good at the game often you'll get out numbered and die.

3: Use your map - prior to leaving the plane pick where you want to go. - continually use the map to plan where you'll go throughout the game.

4: Pressing 'X' holsters your weapon - useful when running as you'll run faster but does make you vulnerable to firefights.

5: You can re-fuel vehicle's by pressing 'use' fuel when inside.

6: 'B' will toggle between single fire/burst/auto.

7: all guns pick up will be set to single fire.

8: Populated towns are dangerous - these draw players too them who are after a firefight and early game kills.

9: Hide your path - when entering buildings use the door - smashed windows draw attention - close doors = hiding your path.

10: Watch out for fall damage especially on cliffs when going down them!

11: Taking fire? don't know where it's coming from? run away in a zig-zag instead of going prone and get in cover.

12: burnt out cars - vehicles, environment all make for good cover.

13: Fighting a group?, Once you've downed one shoot the next one alive - don't worry about the downed one clear the other enemies first.

14: Vehicles draw alot of attention due to their noise - approaching some buildings you know are clear? ease off the accelerator to eliminate the noise.

15: Vehicles can roll away down hills/cliffs be careful - parking it properly should eliminate this.

16: A level 1 helmet is almost useless when a sniper hits you, you'll be downed as it offers little/to no protection. - that said it's better to have at least a level 1 helmet opposed to no helmet at all.

17: After a firefight check your armour press 'i' and see how much health your armour has.

18: Cross bridges at your own peril - players camp these out for easy kills and 1 bridge in particular players use a 'glitch' to park-our up it making it very hard/almost impossible for others to see them.

19: when you pick up a weapon remember to reload it straight away especially when first landed in case you get into an early firefight.

20: If you jump off a cliff into water you no longer take fall damage - same with a car.

21: press c to duck underwater = hidden from enemies.

22: Press shift to hold your breath when sniping.

23: Auto sprint by pressing =

24: Hold shift when driving to 'boost' making you go faster.

25: Apply the handbrake by pressing space - at speed this'll make you skid/drift.

26: when in a group get into a car on the same side that way you'll both exit at the same side rather than being split.

27: Toggle 1st/3rd person by pressing 'V'.

28: Bullet drop exists compensate for this over longer distances - this can also be achieved by increasing the zeroing distance - most commonly on sniper rifles by pressing page up/down.

29: Press 'G' to go straight to your Grenades.

30: Heal hotkeys are mapped to 7,8,9 or 0 for boosts.

31: Under arm throwing for Grenades can be achieved by holding LMB then pressing RMB to throw.

32: Disable HUD by pressing Ctrl + U (although I wouldn't recommend doing this as you can call out bearings when working as a team to tell your mates where the enemy is!).

33: Lean left or right by pressing either Q or R to gain advantage when peeking round corners.

34: Play smart and get the win - when down to the last 10 enemies -

• let them firefight between then.
• play patiently.
• Get into the circle late - without taking damage from the closing zone.
• use the environment to your advantage lots of cliffs have very good hide spots where the cliff goes inwards making it difficult for enemies to see you.

35: Blind Grenade really small zones during end game to draw out enemies maybe even killing them and getting a chicken dinner!.

36:  if you have to cross an open area to get to the zone you are making yourself an easy target. Use boots to speed up your sprint and zig-zag under fire to make it harder to hit you.

37: Free look using Alt to look to an almost 360 - players running late into the circle could be running either side of you!.

38: Bait kills - Thanks to Rambo for this - if you know enemies are near bait them to you, a well placed first aid kit on the floor could bait them to that area where your waiting in a corner to kill them.

39: Get yourself some decent headphones surround sound headphones greatly increase you being able to tell where the enemy is.

40: Don't engage unless you have to - if you can be assured of the kills then go for it - being the lone hero helps no one.
