PUBG Basics for Beginners
Main Game Phases
Before the match starts, you have 60 seconds to prepare on the training island. Use this time to get used to the controls and practice shooting and moving.
Useful activities during preparation :
- Practice aiming at moving targets
- Try different weapon types
- Get used to vehicle controls
- Adjust sensitivity to your comfort
The plane flies over the map; you need to choose the right time and place to jump. Use the map to identify the best landing spots.
Common mistakes during dropping :
- Landing where many players land
- Jumping too late
- Not opening the parachute at the right time
- Landing far from the safe zone
After landing, you must loot, watch the blue zone, and move towards the safe zone.
Looting priorities :
- A primary weapon for self-defense
- Helmet and vest
- Backpack to carry more gear
- Medical supplies
- Extra ammunition
When 10 or fewer players remain, the circle becomes very small. This is the most intense phase and requires special strategy.
Final circle strategies :
- Stay in cover and move only when necessary
- Use smoke grenades to cover your moves
- Watch the circle timer and move before you have to run
- If you have the high ground, keep it at all costs
Blue Zone Concept
The blue zone is a poisonous area that damages players outside the safe white circle. It starts 5 minutes after the match begins and shrinks 9 times. Damage increases with each circle:
- Circle 1 : 0.4 damage per second
- Circle 2 : 0.6 damage per second
- Circle 3 : 0.8 damage per second
- Circle 4 : 1.0 damage per second
- Circle 5+ : 1.0–1.5 damage per second
💡 Tip : Start moving toward the safe zone 60 seconds before the circle begins to shrink.
