1. Choose the right place to land
A good start is half the work. That is why it is very important to land in the right place. Avoid other players by falling as far off the plane as possible and avoiding visiting major locations. This way you make sure you have the right items before you run into opponents. Another more risky tactic is to land somewhere as quickly as possible, so that you already have good items while the rest is still dangling in the air.
Do you opt for easy loot, but do you still die as soon as you bump into other players? Then it is smart to deliberately land a series of pots in a busy area. This way you are forced to confront very quickly and that is the ideal way to practice.
2. Stay still and invisible
Sound is important in this game. Sound lets you know if someone is nearby, if there is shooting somewhere, if vehicles are approaching, and so on. Is there a chance that other players are close by? Then be as quiet as possible.
You do that by not running, but crawling and preferably even tiger. Also watch out for slamming doors, jumping and reloading your weapons. Even falling empty bullets make noise. Also, be careful not to accidentally press the shoot button when looking around. If you shoot accidentally, everyone in the area knows where you are.
3. Put on headphones
Because sound is so important, the use of headphones is a must. This way it is much easier to know from which direction sounds such as footsteps, bullets and vehicles are coming. With headphones you have a tactical advantage anyway compared to players who play without.
4. Don’t try to shoot everyone
Do you see another player? Do not run directly towards them and do not shoot immediately. It is usually wiser to let that player walk by. Ultimately, it doesn’t matter how many kills you have, but whether you survive. Only shoot when you are sure you can make a kill.
Do you end up in a situation where you have to compete against one or more players? Then hide and try to move from that position to another location unseen, in order to surprise them. Is there nothing to hide behind? Then keep moving. Zigzagging helps, for example, if you are shot at from a distance.
5. Keep an eye on the circles on the map
Whatever you do: you have to take three circles into account. A blue, white, and red circle. The blue circle is a kind of electrical storm that is getting closer and closer. If you end up in that, your life bar will empty. The further you get into the game, the faster the blue circle will arrive and the more damage the storm will do.
You are safe the white circle. If you are outside the white circle, there is a dotted line on the map with the shortest route to that safe place. Make sure you don’t run to the white circle too late, because then you have to take a lot more risk.
The third circle is red. If you see a solid red circle appear on the map, you have to get out quickly because bombs are being dropped there. You can also take shelter in a house, but be careful not to stand too close to the doors or windows.
Look around
It is important to have a good look around. Especially because it is not always clear where bullets come from. Therefore, be aware of your surroundings at all times. You do this by placing your finger on the button with the eye and swiping across the screen. This allows you to look around without your character moving. This is not only useful when you are running for the blue circle, but also when you are lying still in the grass and you do not want to make any suspicious movement.
Grab a pan! (and other items)
There are countless items in the world of PUBG. Choose the weapons you like by testing them, find a level 3 helmet, vest and backpack and pick up all the healing items. You can replenish the last bit of health with painkillers and energy drinks.
Also don’t forget to check the attachments on your weapons. For example, put a better scope on your rifle to zoom in further. Do you see a pan? Then pick it up immediately. With a pan on your butt you deflect bullets.
