Fortnite and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, better known as PUBG, are the two biggest battle royales to date. As of March 2019, the most recent data, Fortnite has a registered player count of 250 million users, blowing PUBG on PC's player count of 500,000 users out of the wa

The most baffling part is that the game had previously been classified for release, just with a different publisher, (although it appears these records have since been removed) The whole situation has left even the countries politicians confu

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

Even if we compare the OG maps from these two games it's a bit of a toss up as to which is the winner. Sure Fortnite has Tilted Towers, but PUBG has School; and in case you don't play the latter, School is a place where half of the lobby's players drop resulting in a massacre that leaves only one or two survivors who are barely clinging to life. But that's just the OG maps, PUBG now has four unique maps, all of which are just as good as the original in their own rights. Fortnite is finally making an alteration to it's original map, so there's not much competition h

Once players have got a hang at it, they can one-shot enemies in a blaze without even zooming in or peeking. This gun is especially helpful in deathmatches, literally turning enemies into a pile of ragdolls if used right. Using the perfect attachments will make also make this gun unbeatable—especially with the suppressor and extended magaz

The cosmetics in PUBG are some of the hottest garbage this side of the Mississippi. "Oh wow, I unlocked brown boots instead of black ones!" or "No way! Blue pants instead of grey ones!" The best items you can receive or goggles, or a yellow tracksuit, that's really it though. Fortnite has Thanos, unicorns, scarecrows, ninjas, football players -- truthfully some it's kind of cringey -- but a lot of it, is still much better than PUBG's items. We don't even know how PUBG has the gall to charge the prices they do for their whack item sets, they're the bird that drinks tears video game big losers for this

PUBG has brought a whole new meaning to the word sterile. Even today the game looks like an earlier edition of Call of Duty that was stripped down to it's barest of bones. The only personality it has that comes to mind is the iconic level three helmet and the frying pan, but there's not much more than t

The first items a player should find are weapons. Guns, grenades, and melee weapons are what win or lose a game of PUBG. So understanding a basic loadout philosophy will insure at least minor success in common combat scenarios. It is important a player finds a close quarter weapon and a long-range to mid-range weapon. Close quarter weapons should be rapid fire and high damage items. No matter how good a player is during an intense firefight, having a weapon that fires a large number of rounds can seal an easy kill. Close range weapons should have the ability to fire off a large number of bullets and cover a close but far spread within a small amount of time. Weapons that fill this role are shotguns, SMGs or automatic assault rifles. Making sure you have an adequate long-range weapon is by far the most important facet of winning a game of PUBG . Unlike other battle royale shooters most of PUBG's battle encounters occur in a mid to long-range distance, so be sure to utilize the powerful single fire function on many assault rifles and the coveted sniper rifles in the g

Still, surely they are supportive of those still playing the game, right? Wrong. For those brave adventurers still fighting the numerous bugs , Bethesda has handed out a couple of bans we still can't get our heads aro

Fans from around the world have long asked Bluehole to block Chinese players from accessing other regions, and Eastern gaming titan Tencent even introduced a host of region-exclusive servers for PUBG Mobile in the hopes that it would incentivize players based in China to stay within their digital territ

One of Vikendi's most popular areas before the map was pulled from PUBG rotation , the Abbey returns in a slightly altered and much less accessible format here. Previously larger and located in the southern middle of the map, now the Abbey has been moved to the top of Mount Kreznic. Despite its remote location, however, players should seriously consider the Abbey as a great place to either drop in on or swing by on the way to the circle, even if getting there from ground level takes a little longer than it used
