PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, or PUBG as fans know it, is finally available for mobile devices. The PC, Xbox One, and now the smash hit Android and iOS may have lost some ground to Epic Games' Fortnite in the 'great battle royale of war', but the sandbox kill-fest reigns supreme on Android sitting in the best Play Store games with millions of downloads.

For those new to the game, the first thing you need to know is that PUBG is all about surviving to the bitter end in a 100 person free game or in a team by any means necessary. However, if you are the type of gamer who likes to grab the best weapons you can find and fire all weapons, or if you go for a more stealthy approach, there are some basic principles of the game that apply to everyone who enters. the battlefield.

In this guide, you will find some essential PUBG Mobile tips and tricks that will put you ahead of the pack and help you pack those sweet sweet chicken dinners.

Don't land in the water, obviously.

Make sure to share the loot in a supply drop if you are in a squad.

The most important loot in the early stages is a decent medium weapon, ammo, and some reasonable armor, as well as a backpack upgrade (up to level 3) so you have room for better gear when you start exploring.Any weapon is better than your fists or even the legendary PUBG skillet, so grab nearby firearms before taking on an enemy.

Armor is also crucial so that you can take more hits in a shootout.Like the backpack, head and body armor is ranked from level 1 to 3, but level 3 armor is quite rare.Aim for level 2 armor before picking up a piece, or level 1 at the very least.

Health items are also a priority.First aid kits are preferable, but bandages, pain relievers, and more will help if necessary.Objects thrown like grenades will be more important later as an offensive or distraction tool once the player count has dropped, but don't be afraid to launch an explosive surprise if you run into an unsuspecting group early on.

Choose where to land very carefully

A PUBG game can last up to half an hour, or if things go terribly wrong, it can all be over in seconds.One sure way to get out early is to misjudge your initial landing spot, which is why it's first on our list of PUBG Mobile tips and tricks.

As a general rule of thumb, you want to target the best loot spots on the map of the game you're playing on, while avoiding as many players as possible.There are some particular areas that regularly spawn the best weapons and armor, such as the military base, the power plant, or the various major cities on the original Erangel map, but keep in mind that other experienced players will be heading there as well.

Once you've jumped out of the cargo plane, keep an eye out for swarms of other players heading to a single location and avoid those areas like the plague.

Similarly, don't drift aimlessly once you're in free fall - identify a safe enough area, preferably with buildings so that you can grab a loot and push forward to speed your way there.Buildings will appear as white blocks on the minimap, so make sure you're heading in the right direction.

If you can't see one, you can always open your parachute early and head to a decent landing zone.Just keep in mind that every second you spend in the sky is a second your opponents will use to collect loot.

Loot first, shoot later
Let me re-emphasize this one last time: if you die in PUBG, you're dead.In solo play, there are no second chances, and in squads you will put your team's chances of victory at risk if you keep getting knocked down early.

Once you hit the ground, your first priority is to prepare yourself so that you won't be cut off in any initial skirmish.You'll find crucial loot scattered around the buildings and supplies from supply crates.The latter contain the most sought-after weapons, like the incredibly powerful AWM sniper rifle, but remember that you won't be the only one waiting to grab the loot.

Only shoot when in range

This is the latest rookie bug and it will get you killed more than anything in PUBG Mobile.Deciding when to hide and when to attack is a tricky balancing act, but you should never open fire unless you know your weapon has a chance to hit the target.

While knowing when you are in range will take a bit of practice for newcomers, if you have any experience with PvP shooters, you will already have a good grasp of the basics.Shotguns (especially the impressive S12K) and SMGs are useful for close-up burst damage, assault rifles and pistols are good for mid-range fights, and sniper rifles are perfect for long-range shots.

Shotguns and SMGs are useful for close-up burst damage, assault rifles and pistols are good for mid-range fights, and sniper rifles are perfect for long-range shots.

If you're shooting at a distant enemy with, say, the Tommy Gun pretty strong, all you're doing is revealing your position, which is a fatal mistake.

Accessories can extend the range of some weapons (scoped assault rifles can sometimes be better than sniper rifles), but some weapons are only useful in specific circumstances.Shotguns, for example, are a great tool for cleaning a building, but they are practically useless in the open fields.

Whenever possible, try to keep complementary weapons on hand and do not carry two weapons that serve the same purpose.

Watch the map

It will take a few games to learn the layout of certain areas of the PUBG map, much less everything.As you get used to the scenery, be sure to pay attention to the minimap and keep an eye on the decrease in the playing area.

In PUBG, the only safe area is within "The Circle."This circle will start to shrink at certain times during the match and if you are out of it for too long, you will eventually die.

The damage you take in this electrified blue field will increase as the circle shrinks.At first you will be fine for a few minutes, while at the final stage you will not last more than ten seconds.

Time to move.

Each new circle will show up on your map as a white outline, so if you look at your map you always know where to go next.There is no need to rush in the early stages, but towards the end you will need to move to avoid death while avoiding other players who will do the same.You should always try to stay covered when possible, but if you need to move, move quickly and with purpose.

The mini map also has one last trick up its sleeve that you absolutely must be aware of: a fire indicator.If you hear gunshots in your neighborhood, take a quick look at the map and it will show exactly where it came from.

Wheels are better than legs.

Do you need to get somewhere fast?Then you need a vehicle, my friend.

Vehicles are littered with junk around each of the game's maps, but you'll most commonly find them near larger cities and on major roads.

 Hide and see

PUBG games almost always end with a small group of fighters sprawled on the floor waiting for someone else to raise their head first.By the way, that person usually gets a dome right away, so make sure it's not you.

Being totally prone in PUBG is an important maneuver, so much so that it has its own dedicated button.It's also a double-edged sword though, as while you'll get good recoil and increased accuracy and generally be a bit more concealed, mobility is almost non-existent.

If someone approaches you from behind while you are on your chest, you will almost definitely end up dead, especially if you are looking through a scope at the same time.Keep an eye on your mini map and surroundings before hitting the ground, and don't be afraid to flank your opponents when they're lying down.

When you are outdoors, taking advantage of rocks and the sides of buildings for cover can be a much safer alternative.What PUBG isn't telling you is that you can actually peek out the side of the cover without exposing your squishy limbs, but to do that you'll have to take a quick trip to the Settings> Basic menu.

Enable peek to get an advantage over less studious players.

Just turn Peek & Fire to "On" and you can look around the corners.Just keep in mind that you are far from invulnerable when doing this, as your head will bow with you, but you will be a much smaller target.

One last point about the controls: remap the buttons if necessary.There are three presets for general and vehicle controls to choose from, but you can adjust them further by hitting the Custom option.You can move around each aspect of the HUD to your liking, increase the size of the buttons and alter the transparency of the icons, and you can also reset everything to default if you make a mistake.

Unfortunately, while there are plenty of vehicles to ride, there are also 99 other players who may want to get behind the wheel as well, so make sure it's safe before approaching.

The motorcycle and buggy are great for going to the next play area, but they will leave you relatively exposed.Larger vehicles like the jeep will be slower, but are great for hauling around four players with a good amount of protection.

PUBG Mobile's touchscreen controls can be a bit fiddly at best, so you can imagine how difficult it is to land a fatal blow at an opponent when they are driving directly towards you.The downside, however, is the amount of attention you'll attract thanks to those noisy engine

Communicate with your colleagues

PUBG can be very lonely when you're squatting in a field somewhere alone, just waiting for a chance to strike.That all the changes in the game in duo or in a group where strategic play and constant communication are key to victory.

Attacking in numbers is much safer than dividing.

Almost every aspect of PUBG changes in co-op, whether it's choosing a place to land, deciding who takes what loot, choosing a target, or even calling out who rides the shotgun in a vehicle.Attacking in numbers is much safer than dividing, but still, you will have to keep a certain distance from your allies from time to time to outflank opponents and maintain points of advantage.

Fortunately, PUBG Mobile supports native voice chat using your device's speakers and microphone, although you will have to enable the latter in Settings> Audio.You can even choose your language to make sure you can communicate effectively with your squad.

Alternatively, if you have a few friends, you can always use voice and chat apps like Discord.If you absolutely must stay quiet, be sure to at least use the in-game quick chat feature.It allows you to send messages like "I'll cover you" or "Enemies ahead" with the touch of a button.

Know your maps
