While we take great joy in comparing these two battle royale titans, Fortnite really should be in a different league of it's own. PUBG is a traditional battle royale game, but Fortnite is not only battle royale, but Minecraft too. In the game you have to gather supplies and build to survive -- it's honestly quite bizarre when you really exam it. In the middle of a heated battle you could be mining for stone and build a four-story house. And don't think you'll get very far without utilizing these mechanics, as some of the best players have gotten that way by becoming master build

Playerunknown's Battleground ** _s** _ is a deeply complex and realistic take on the battle royale genre. Providing realistic shooting mechanics on top of a vast assortment of techniques that challenge a player's technical skill. PUBG is as rewarding as it can be brutal, the ability to continually expand the skill gap between a new player and a master is rooted in both game knowledge and pract

Known as **PUBG ** for short, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is a massive PvP competitive shooter that can be played solo, with a friend, or with a squad of four, in first-person and third-person. The goal is to jump from a plane and land somewhere on one of the game's maps, gather weapons and gear, and survive until the end as the playable map area continuously shrinks. It's the Hitman GO mobile-to formula that every major shooter brand is looking into and its mainstream success started with PUBG - of which Fortnite admittedly copied and made even more popu

PUBG is not the first battle royale in the existence of this overblown, saturated genre. But it was without a doubt one of the first to popularize it and shape it into what it is today. Many of the devs for PUBG even worked on the H1Z1 Survival Mode, the game mode that quite literally made the blueprint for modern battle royale. __ So in many rights it's hard not to see that Fortnite rode the coattails of PUBG, adding a handful of different elements to perfect the game. Still, I've put way more hours into PUBG, but when it comes to the better overall game... you'll just have to decide that for yours

One of the key principles that can be forgotten is the crucial reality that a bad weapon loadout can spell death for a player. Having two sniper rifles or a pistol and a shotgun or any variety of un-optimized gear can cause unnecessary death and loss during a match of PUBG. The only exception to this rule is during early match scrambles for gear and weaponry. At this point during a match, survival is the main focus but keeping an eye out for ideal weapons, ammo types, scopes, or vehicles is essential for match succ

It not only masks your presence in or through a building but it can also serve as a powerful warning sign for incoming players. Shutting doors creates the facade that the room has yet to be looted. 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. Allowing for proper setup and the upper hand in combat engageme

SKS: This sniper rifle is probably the least popular of the bunch, but it does have a really good range (if players manage to find a good scope). However, the slow rate-of-fire and low damage reduce this rifle to be nothing, but a default sniper rifle. It's good to have if players are in need of a long-range rifle, but there are better alternatives for s

We didn't even get this as much as we wanted in the last entry, but Fortnite is fast. Good luck trying to get your dad into the game because if you're not on your P's and Q's you're going to get pwned by some 8-year-old wearing a snap-back sideways within minutes of dropping off the battle bus. PUBG however, is more in line with the game play of a classic shooter. It's slow, almost empty at times and getting kills in it usually requires a much more patient, methodical approach. Sure the best players can run-n-gun like it's nobodies business, but if you play the game slow you have a good chance of making it

But player counts don't mean everything, and if we're still talking numbers, than PUBG mobile's player count of 400 million truly takes the cake. Statistics finally aside, it's time to tackle the meat and potatoes of these two games and decide which one is a truly battle royale k

This is the part where many gamers rightfully bash PUBG into the the grave that it deserves to die in after introducing it's shady business practices. First, charge for a game that's an unfinished buggy mess that continued to be an unfinished buggy mess for years to come. Second, bring in a shady micro-transaction lottery system that rewards you with crappy cosmetic items for a bloated price. Third, copy the fair and successful battle pass formula that Fortnite has implemented since the start of the series. Boy are those PUBG devs shady, and while the Epic Game's higher ups are no less shady, they at least implemented fair business practices in their most profitable g
