It can mask your presence in a building or simply waste an enemy player's time. It also provides a distinct auditory cue that an enemy player is inbound.

SCAR-L: Players who don't fancy "single-shots" with assault rifles will most likely cling onto the SCAR-L due to its impressive rate of rapid-fire. It's the most effective rifle when it comes to "mowing down" other players it can do hefty damage. It doesn't have the best range, but for close-quarter skirmishes, this is a prime assault rifle to h

The most random ban was the player who seemingly got banned due to being too good at the game. It appears that he had an item that reduced his inventory weight so he went on a bullet collecting spree. When this was combined with him logging between characters to swap items around Bethesda thought he was cheati

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds may be one of the most dominant multiplayer releases of the past few years, but its shortcomings have come to eclipse the title’s once-sterling reputation. While the community circa March 2017 was optimistic and largely agreed that the game had quite a lot of potential, things seem on the verge of unraveling just two years later. When news came in late September last year that developer Bluehole would be axing the option to switch regions and gating certain players’ access to servers depending on ping, PUBG fans rejoiced. However, nearly six months have gone by since these features were implemented in Update 22, and the game’s multiplayer functionalities are still in a state of ch

It all started when Chung "Blitzchung" Ng Wai had his competition winnings stripped and was slapped with a one year ban from competitive play after making a political statement about Hong Kong. The two casters who were interviewing him also faced harsh punishments, despite not making political statements themsel

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds offers the chance to explore and scrap through the three gigantic maps of Miramar, Erangel, and Sanhok–with Vikendi having just recently entered the Public Test Server to boot. One's tasked with scrounging for consumables, armor, and weapons to survive matches populated with up to 100 players, as a storm circle slowly encroaches and forces those still alive to duke it out in tense, ever-closer firefights. This can be done as a Solo endeavor, or in Duos and 4-person Squads, but the goal essentially remains the same no matter the size of the team, and that is to be the only survivor(s) at the end of the ma

Aside from the haphazard messiness of the controls, one major asset of PUBG on PS4 is the dependable and realistic quality of the shooting itself, as it generally feels solid no matter which of the wealth of different guns and weapon modifications players wield. Nevertheless, basic movement and evasive maneuvers–especially when in vehicles–can occasionally be unreliable and ineffective, with the floaty feel of jumping being among the worst offenders. Naturally, this hampers the inherently pleasurable nature of getting to use the actual firing mechanics when a firefight does break out. Plus, accessing menus on the fly is incredibly unintuitive, with the poor quality of their designs and layouts often prompting confusion and frustration. With this being the case, the PlayStation 4 iteration of the title doesn't offer too much incentive for players to stick around for more than a few matches at a time, thus hindering its overall replay val

All the given tips will transform an aspiring novice to an elite level player in PUBG . Without practice though, they are simply obsolete tips. So be sure to practice and master these tips and you will be on the path to elite level play before l

Blizzard's Hearthstone sounds like it should be the least controversial title on the company's roster but this year, thanks to some politics, Brendan Greene Artemis it is knee-deep in an ongoing controversy that has seen bans galore handed

Fortnite is a free-to-play game, and even though it has its fair share of microtransactions, it’s not a pay-to-win game. No major content is locked behind paywalls, and players have been able to go pro without spending a dollar on microtransactions. Fortnite is clearly the best game for budget-conscious play

What’s more, while restricting server access on a continental basis is fairly common and simple to implement, forcing every player in a single country or continent to stick to native servers would be a nearly insurmountable challenge. Should EA and Respawn force all Asian players into the same space, the entire region might find the game unplaya

With the video game landscape currently littered with a wide variety of Battle Royale titles, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds should be recognized as a more specialized and concentrated approach to the genre, as its heart lies primarily in the tactical-shooter domain. The PS4 version reflects this in more ways than one by retaining practically all of the main elements found in the game's PC, Xbox One, and mobile iterations . However, the complete experience and presentation of PUBG on the Sony console can often be hit or m
