10 tricks and tips you should know in PUBG Mobile Game

PlayersUnknown’s BattleGrounds, or PUBG as it more commonly known, is the largest online battle royale game with over 2 million players on the PC version. On March 19 of this year, PUBG was made available for Android and iOS users worldwide. Fans of the game were initially skeptic about all the PC features being available on the mobile version when Bluehole Games announced it. But to everyone’s delight, almost all the features from jumping through windows, firing from moving vehicles, stealth to online player connectivity and the surreal graphics worked just as brilliantly on the phone. Bluehole made this possible by collaborating with the Chinese company Tencent games and now the duo have inspired a whole generation of online Battle Royale games for phones.

Soon enough, PUBG mobile went on to have over 50 million downloads on the Google play store and occupied the top spot on the Free Games section of the Apple AppStore. In fact, the mobile Battle Royale game has been so successful that in May, it clocked in 10 million users daily.

Bluehole has an exemplary track record when it comes to keeping its player base happy with regular updates for the PC version, followed by the same update for PUBG Mobile. The latest update is the PUBG Mobile 0.6.0 version, which introduces the FPP(First Person Perspective). It works very smoothly on the phone and seals the deal for the fans, thanks to the fluid game play and the amazing details of the weapons.

Most users want that elusive chicken dinner promised to the winner. So we have some tricks and tips that will help you graduate from being a noob to a pro. These are the tricks that the game doesn’t teach you, but leaves it for you to discover. But we know you love chicken, so here’s 10 things you can do to win it:

10 tricks and tips for PUBG Mobile 0.6.0

1. Make sure you get the graphics right for your device

PUBG mobile has many variations in the graphics settings and the frame rate. These can be chosen as per the best compatibility of your device. This trick may seem basic, but knowing it is important the right setting will give you the best experience your phone can offer. A drop in frame rate can make your experience choppy and in return affect your aiming accuracy in the game. So, it is best advised to keep the game setting on balance and let the device decide what is the best set for it.

2. Choose the right server depending on its latency

PUBG mobile has various servers that a player can choose from, like North America, South America, Asia, Europe and KRJP. You can check the latency of these servers on the top lefthand corner of your screen. Pick one that offers minimum latency, as it will make the gameplay smoother. A higher latency leads to a disrupted experience of the game.

 

3. Choose the right spot for landing

For pros, Pochinki and Rozhok are a few hotspots to land on, at the beginning of the game. But if you are new to the game and want to survive at least till the last 10 players are remaining, then you need to lay low throughout the game while staying inside the shrinking safe zone. You could land in places like Mansion, Shooting Range, Quarry and Severny as they aren’t frequented much. These places may not give you the top-notch supplies you wish for but will give you enough security to survive until the final 10.

4. Use the eye

On the top righthand corner of your screen, you’ll see an icon that looks like an eye. This feature gives you a 360 degree view without having to move your character in that direction. This comes in handy when you’re hiding in the open or to keep a look out for people who may be around you while you sprint.

5. Don’t wear shoes

Even though most players opt for fancy upgrades in the footwear department, it is not advisable to wear any shoes. One major benefit of this is that your enemies will not be able to hear you approaching if you’re bare feet, giving you a chance to sneak up on them and unleash your attack.

6. Let your teammate know where the enemy is

Earlier, whenever your teammates shouted out on the chat saying,” He’s here, he’s here!” you always wondered where the hell the enemy was because you didn’t know their exact location. It’s better to give your teammates a clearer idea of where the enemy is shooting from, like mentioning some sort of landmark or at least giving them a proper direction. But with the 0.6.0 update, players can now point their aim marker at the enemy and choose the ‘Enemy Spotted’ command from the menu. This puts a caution marker on the place you’re aiming at, and your teammates see it on their screen as well.

7. Have consumables to run faster

PUBG gives you an option of chewing down on painkillers or having energy drinks to revive the damage done. Not a lot of players are aware of this feature, which lets you fill up your energy bar. When the bar is full, your character will sprint faster and is especially helpful when you’re escaping a shrinking zone or running through an open patch of land surrounded by enemy fire.

8. Disable auto pick up and choose what you need

PUBG mobile has one feature that the PC version doesn’t. We’re talking about the auto pick up feature. This one was added to the mobile game to make game play more fluid. It basically lets a new player pick up almost everything that comes in the way. It proves to be a disadvantage when your character picks up stuff it thinks is important without assessing the situation in hand. For example, you might be in the middle of a close range gun battle and accidentally walk over a few bandages lying around. In the auto pick up settings, your character will stop shooting to pick those supplies first and that might get you knocked out. The good news is that you can fix that by changing the settings and disabling the auto pick up feature.

9. Change seats in vehicles to fire

Just like the PC version, PUBG mobile lets you drive to the safety of the zone. But, what a lot of people don’t know is that you can change seats while driving a vehicle. Changing seats gives you an option to fire back at your enemy. During the time that you’re shooting, the car will keep moving in the direction you aimed it at before changing seats and will eventually come to a stop. This trick will make sure you’re not a target for enemies when you’re driving the car alone.

10. Lay low and be an opportunist

The most important skill in the game is to be stealthy and lay low. Wearing darker clothes and running in the shadows of structures can help cover you from the enemy. You can even launch a surprise attack on an enemy if you’re not visible to them prior. This comes especially handy when there are less than 10 people remaining and all are playing inside a smaller area. Keep a low profile till the last few players are remaining. Your chances of killing a player or two are higher at the end than trying to kill 4 or more people at once earlier.

Bonus in-game feature

The latest PUBG 0.6.0 update for mobile gives your character the ability to perform gestures like blowing a kiss and waving among other things. These features can only be used once they’re unlocked. If you already have, then you can use them in the game by finding an icon that looks like a man on the top righthand corner of your screen, right next to the map.

At the end of it, it’s most important to remember that even though the thrill of getting kills keeps you hooked, PUBG is a survival game. And nothing but being the last one alive gives you the chicken dinner. So unless you’re not a pro, don’t chase kills. Follow these tricks that will help pave your way to victory.
