But it was held back by poor performance issues and terrible optimization, only giving a “good” experience for PC owners with great graphics cards. And it only got worse for PUBG when they released maybe one of the worst console ports e
Having sold a combined effort of over 30 million copies worldwide across both PC and Xbox One, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (or PUBG ) is arguably one of 2017’s most successful games and is often credited as kick-starting the Battle Royale ge
One of the craziest things about playing PUBG is that you could be alone one minute and then fight for your life the next. You never know when an enemy is going to snipe you from across a field or corner you in a house. As a result, you have to find as many methods as possible to use items, so you are not a sitting duck more. Here is one helpful trick you may not have known about. Players can optimize their bandages by using the next one on the third tick of the health bar going up. It is the most efficient use of the bandage for time and health regeneration. It would be a complete shame to heal yourself to only drop in the next few seconds because you were out in the o
Players can also ultimately be running one way, while viewing a completely different direction. This is arguably one of the most overlooked features that new players continually miss when they first start playing the game – which sets them up at quite a disadvantage when versing more skilled play
The number one key to managing your inventory is to remember that you should only be carrying what you need, as your backpack should always remain as light as possible. There is also a small white bar near the backpack that can help indicate the amount of weight that your backpack is currently hold
This ruthless cycle has brought about a rapid evolution in online multiplayer games, esports, and streaming opportunities, and it's been fascinating to observe. Today we sit less than a year since the launch of PUBG and it has broken all sorts of records, becoming the number one game on Steam, hitting numbers in the millions of concurrent players. Through a deal with Microsoft, PUBG also found itself launched on Xbox One for the 2017 holiday season, and despite its atrocious quality on that platform , it quickly surpassed 5 million in unit sales. It's a be
Another year later, early 2017, and H1Z1: King of the Kill is a force to be reckoned with. It topped the charts of Twitch.tv, was popular among YouTubers and peaked at over 100,000 concurrent players. It was a game-changer, and one that helped skyrocket the idea of battle royale gameplay, allowing PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds to come in and rather quickly take over the market. Streamers began moving over, leaving H1Z1 for the more “realistic” PUBG . PUBG was the new hotness, its creator having a hand in both games. Not long later, Epic Games (the makers of the game engine that PUBG uses) stole their idea and added a free-to-play battle royale mode themselves to fledgling Fortnite and made it available on not just PC, but PlayStation 4 and Xbox One as well. Again, for fr
When you finally build the confidence and courage to start landing in heavily populated areas at the beginning of a PUBG map you need to sharpen up your close combat skills. A shotgun is a player's best friend in the narrow corridors of the school or other buildings. Outside of being accurate with your shots, there's another mechanic you need to be aware of. If you're using a gun that reloads between every shot you need to realize what happens when you're in an intense gunfight. If you fire a shot and hold the fire button down your gun won't reload. Many players panic when faced with another player trying to take their life. One thing players tend to do in moments of stress is hold on tight and grip the controller. This means that you're actively preventing yourself from having a chance. So, in shotgun fights remember to simply take your hand off the trigger between shots. On the plus side knowing this trick as a sniper will allow you to view your target recent Fpspedia blog post-shot for an extended amount of time so you can confirm whether or not you hit your target from distance. A lot of times knowing a mechanic is only important if you also know how it relates to different types of combat scenar
