PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS: HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR SHOOTING SKILLS
Posted by Luke Mitchell July 1st, 2024
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) is a game in which shooting skills can be the deciding factor between victory and defeat. To improve your shooting skills, you need to practice, understand the mechanics of the game and develop an effective strategy. Here are some tips to help you become the best shooter in PUBG.
Master the Basics
Sensitivity Settings: Change the sensitivity levels to a level that is comfortable for you. While increased sensitivity guarantees faster movement, lower sensitivity boosts accuracy. To build muscle memory, stay with your selected settings and refrain from making frequent adjustments.
Crosshair Positioning: To improve your chances of hitting headshots, aim the scope's crosshair at eye level. To reduce reaction time, aim for the general locations and angles of the opposition beforehand.
Understand Recoil and Spray Patterns
Recoil Control: Spend time in training mode to practice recoil control when firing various weapons. Learn how to press the mouse or joystick to neutralize the upward recoil of automatic weapons.
Spray Pattern: Each weapon has a unique spray pattern. Learn these patterns to improve your accuracy when shooting continuously. Use burst shooting for better control and accuracy at medium and long range.
Use the Right Attachments
Sights: For close-quarters and intermediate combat, red dot and holographic sights work best. Optical zoom levels of 2x, 3x, and 4x are appropriate for medium- and long-range targets. The best scopes for long-range sniper shooting are 6x and 8x models.
Grips: It is easier to manage when there is less vertical rebound thanks to the vertical grip. The angled grip is appropriate for a variety of fighting situations since it lessens both vertical and horizontal recoil.
Attachments for muzzles: Accuracy is increased and recoil is decreased with the compensator. By muffleing your rounds, the suppressor makes it more difficult for adversaries to identify you.
Practice in Training Mode
Shooting Range: Use the shooting range to practice aiming and recoil control at stationary and moving targets. Get to know the different types of weapons and how to handle them.
Moving Targets: Practice shooting at moving targets to improve your tracking and leading skills. Create scenarios that simulate real combat situations to improve your reflexes and decision-making.
Engage in Combat
Drop in Hotspots: To get better at shooting under pressure, drop in hotspots like Pochinki or School and engage in battle repeatedly. Examine your interactions to see what you did well and where you need to make improvements.
Play with your group to engage in well-planned team battles and develop your communication skills. During battle, practice aiding your allies and offer cover fire.
Use Sound to Your Advantage
Footsteps and Gunshots: Use headphones to hear the enemy's footsteps and gunshots and determine their position. Pay attention to the direction of the sound to accurately locate the enemy.
Suppressed Shots: Identify suppressed shots, as they can provide hard-to-locate, but still valuable information.
Stay Calm and Focused
To preserve shooting accuracy and make the appropriate decisions during shootouts, remain composed. Breathe deeply to help you focus and de-stress, especially during stressful times. In particular, when using a sniper rifle, exercise patience and wait for the ideal opportunity to fire. Take your time and aim properly to avoid panicking.
