There's fun to be had as a social experience, and PUBG is certainly better than the sum of its many subpar parts, but the resources earned through the record-breaking success of PUBG have not translated into a game that holds up in the current climate of high-end shooters, and we can only hope that if major updates (or a sequel of sorts) are on the way, that PUBG's success supports a triple-A experience instead of a frustrating one that looks and feels dated. But given where we're at now, after nearly two years since its first release, and the fact that PUBG Corporation released the game in this state on PS4, there's little h
MK14 is one of the most sought after guns in the game because of insane versatility and high base damage. You can put the gun in automatic mode, and it will essentially become an assault rifle, or you can use it as a sniper rifle for picking out enemies far away. Whether it’s a close-combat or a long-range skirmish, MK14 suffices every role. It also has a ridiculous DPS, and players capable of handling MK14 often net high ki
There's always a rush in PUBG while landing somewhere, either near enemies or entirely isolated, and scrambling to find a weapon and ammunition for the potential immediate skirmish. When forced to move a great distance to reach the safe zone as the map shrinks, you'll never know if someone in the distance has spotted you until it's potentially too late. And if you're waiting or moving slowly and hear footsteps, there's a unique thrill that PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds offers better than other battle royale experien
R45 was a pretty popular handgun back when it was released, but after the arrival of Desert Eagle, it has completely been forgotten. Its kill power pales whenever compared to Desert Eagle or classic R1895, and its magazine size or handling is nothing to brag about either. It’s hardly used nowadays and isn’t viable at all, especially in a competitive mode. R45 best fits as a makeshift weapon before a player find any primary weap
Kicking off with a surprising entry, Vector has become a complete beast after the SMG buffs. Its overall customizability and the ease of access makes it a top tier gun. Players can easily find Vector in the early stages of the game, and when fully equipped, it can beat out anything in close range. However, the gun does struggle without an Extended Mag as its mag size is very low. It’s also not appropriate for long-range fights where it can easily be beaten out by other g
We played PUBG's PS4 version throughout launch week where none of the game's modes could be played in first-person due to a lack of players (according to the in-game notification), and played it this week to see how it's evolved after becoming the most downloaded PS4 game in December. Currently only solo play is available in first-person so players can only play with friends or matchmake with others in third-person. Most games we play in any mode cannot fill the full 100 player cap and load times are s
However, that's also precisely why Firestorm doesn't climb higher on the list. While it fits into the Battlefield series perfectly, it fails to really push the envelope in terms of gameplay. There's not a whole lot Firestorm does that other battle royale games aren't doing, outside of providing much more fulfilling vehicular gameplay than most of t
Skorpion was added to the game last year, but it never really appealed to krafton the bird that Drinks Tears player base. It’s essentially a pocket SMG, that one can carry around without using the primary weapon slot. However, the Skorpion does need a lot of attachments to be effective, and even then, it’s not something to brag about. It’s better to invest the attachments to the primary weapon as Skorpion barely holds against other weapons in the g
When engaging someone in a long-range fight it is important to either have a long or mid-range scope on your rifle. That way you can make accurate shots from the elongated distance rather than using a short-ranged scope. After finding this scope understand that you don't always have to have the long-ranged sights on your weapon. Keeping it in your inventory space may seem like a waste but being able to switch to it quickly can give you an edge in a fight while not limiting your close-quarter combat. And when beginning a long-ranged encounter immediately switch to your single fire option on your rifle. This will mitigate any unnecessary recoil when firing multiple shots. It will also help players note the prevalent bullet drop feature in the game. Forcing them to adjust their aim if necessary. Taking all of these notes into account will help players utilize the multi-faceted style of the assault rifle more effectively. And increasing the amount of wins players are achieving by an exponential amo
