PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds Quick Tips

  • Use cover to scan the horizon and look for other players. If you hear shots, take cover and determine where they came from before responding.
  • Airdrops can contain some of the best loot in the game, but they also draw the attention of other players. If you aren’t properly equipped, then be sure to skirt the drop point of the airdrop and stay out of sight, otherwise you may be picked off by better equipped players.
  • Don’t always try to drop in where others can see you, instead, make your approach from an offkey direction, so that you aren’t visible to other players as quickly.
  • Watch your corners and always check behind every door that you open. You never know when someone will be waiting inside. Never trust a closed door. Just because it’s closed doesn’t mean the area hasn’t been looted.
