If you are a game fanatic and have not yet played PLAYERUNKNOWN’s BATTLEGROUNDS, you are missing out!
PLAYERUNKNOWN’s BATTLEGROUNDS, also known as PUBG, is a shooter game that uses a more methodical approach. Unlike typical shooter games, the winner is rarely determined by the number of kills. As a matter of fact, a person with the least number of kills can emerge the winner.
For a beginner, PUBG may seem difficult. But we have to start somewhere, right?
Right!
Even the elite players were once beginners.
In this article, we are going to share tips and tricks, brought to you by Gamivo, on how to become a pro-gamer sooner rather than later.

Understand what makes the Game tick
Just like any other shooter game, PUBG players are required to understand the intricacies of the game. A player must understand the missions, how to operate machinery, the type of gears to get, how to shoot at targets, different guns and their ranges, and many more. Above all, the player needs to know how healing mechanics work.
As a novice player, it is best to familiarize yourself with the training mode. In training mode, players are allowed to test the different weapons, learn how to use the vehicles, as well as, make themselves conversant with using medical supplies.
Once this knowledge is acquired, beginners can continue developing their survival skills.
Learn where and when to take cover
As earlier stated, winning PUBG is not about the number of kills. Sometimes being a juggernaut does not guarantee getting the chicken dinner. It is about taking a more tactical approach and knowing when and where to hide.
As a beginner, it might be tempting to always seek refuge in buildings. It is not such a bad idea, especially if the building only has a single entrance. However, if an opponent knows your location, they could wait by the entrance or throw a grenade in the building.
When looking for a hideout, consider places such as hills and ridges. They offer better cover and a great sightline for you. Also, bushes are a good hiding spot. They allow you to camouflage, significantly minimizing the chances of getting shot.
Pick your Battles
To increase your chances of winning PUBG, pick your battles wisely. For instance, if your opponent is in close range and has a fully kitted M416 rifle, it is for the best to avoid combat if you have a shotgun.
PUBG involves two major strategies – chasing or camping. It is for you to make intelligent decisions on where to go guns blazing and where to hide.
Ammunition and body Armor are a must-have
Apart from ammunition, having body armor is imperative. As soon as you land on the ground, look for body armor and helmets. Also, get medical supplies such as bandages. These are instrumental in ensuring a player’s survival throughout the game.
PUBG requires as much ammunition as possible, which you might not be able to carry most of it. It is the reason why it is advised to carry backpacks. That way, you pick as many weapons as possible from your dead rivals.
