So, you’ve decided to dive into PUBG, the game where 100 players drop in, but only one walks away (or crawls, if we’re being honest). Don’t worry, this guide will help you avoid becoming just another name in the “Top 99” losers’ bracket.
1. Landing: Because Crashing Into a Tree is a Strategy
- Hot Drops (aka Suicide with Extra Steps): Places like Pochinki or School are great if you enjoy being shot before finding pants.
- Safe(ish) Drops: Try Georgopol or Mylta Power if you prefer looting in peace (until someone finds you, of course).
- Pro Tip: If you land on a roof with no way down, just embrace your new life as a rooftop sniper (until the zone kills you).
2. Looting: The Art of Hoarding Useless Stuff
- Guns > Fashion: A shotgun beats a stylish hat in close combat. Unless you’re really confident in your melee skills.
- Backpacks Matter: Unless you enjoy leaving behind meds because you filled your inventory with 10 smoke grenades.
- Attachments Are Your Friends: A red dot sight won’t make you a pro, but it’ll at least help you see the guy who kills you.
3. Combat: Shoot First, Regret Later
- Peek, Don’t Panic: Standing still in the open is a great way to test how fast you can respawn.
- Grenades Exist for a Reason: Tossing one into a room is better than charging in like an action hero (spoiler: you’re not).
- Vehicle Tactics: Cars are great for running people over—or flipping spectacularly and becoming a fireball.
4. The Zone: Because Nature Hates You
- Early Game: Ignore the zone, loot like a greedy raccoon.
- Late Game: If you’re still ignoring the zone, enjoy your slow death by blue wall of doom.
- Pro Tip: Healing in the zone is like putting a band-aid on a bullet wound—it won’t end well.
5. Final Circle: Where Luck > Skill
- Prone is Overrated: Sure, crawling makes you invisible… until someone steps on you.
- Move or Die: Camping works until the last guy has a grenade and a dream.
- Winning Feels Great… Until the Next Match: Congrats, you won! Now do it again, but this time against people who actually know how to play.
PUBG Weapons Tier List (2025)
Looking for the best guns in PUBG (excluding airdrop weapons—because obviously, they’re all overpowered)? Here’s your S+ Tier arsenal that won’t let you down (unless your aim does).
🔥 S+ Tier – The “I Want to Win” Loadout
🔫 AUG A3
- Why? Low recoil, stupidly easy to control, and melts people at mid-range like butter in a microwave.
- Best for: Players who enjoy winning gunfights without developing carpal tunnel.
🔫 M416
- Why? The AUG’s slightly less fancy cousin. Still a laser beam, just with slightly more recoil (if you sneeze while shooting).
- Best for: When you can’t find an AUG but still want to feel superior.
🔫 Beryl M762
- Why? The AKM’s angrier, faster brother. Recoil kicks like a mule, but if you tame it, you’ll delete enemies before they even say “Wait, was that full auto?”
- Best for: Close-range ego checks.
🎯 Mini14
- Why? The DMR for people who hate recoil. Fastest bullet speed in the game, spammable like an SMG, and doesn’t punish missed shots.
- Best for: Sniping without the suffering (looking at you, Kar98k).
🎯 SLR
- Why? Hits like a truck, sounds like a cannon, and makes enemies reconsider their life choices.
- Best for: Mid-range dominance (and satisfying thunk headshots).
⚠️ Honorable (or Dishonorable) Mentions
🔫 Sniper Rifles (A-Tier)
- Kar98k, M24, etc. – “But one-shot headshots!” Yeah, good luck hitting those against real players who don’t run in straight lines. Pros mostly avoid them because DMRs are just better.
🚫 B-D Tier Guns (The “I Had No Choice” Category)
- UMP45, Scar-L, etc. – Fine early game, but why handicap yourself? PUBG maps demand versatility, and these guns just don’t cut it.
🔫 SMGs (Situational at Best)
- Vector, MP5K, etc. – Great for Sanhok or hot drops, but on bigger maps, you’ll just be that guy who almost won a fight before getting domed by a DMR.
Final Verdict
If you’re not running AUG/M416 + Mini14/SLR, you’re basically playing PUBG: Hard Mode. But hey, maybe you like losing gunfights to people with better loadouts.
Pro Tip: Guns don’t win games—positioning and aim do. But picking S+ Tier weapons sure helps.
