Often gaming bans are justified. We can get behind the bans for smurfing , piggy-backing and outright cheating . However, some of these gaming sanctions are downright crazy. From punishments related to political views to banning entire games in a country, here are 5 of the most bogus game bans we’ve s
The most random ban was the player who seemingly got banned due to being too good at the game. It appears that he had an item that reduced his inventory weight so he went on a bullet collecting spree. When this was combined with him logging between characters to swap items around Bethesda thought he was cheati
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 Global Championship . 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
The loot at Cosmodrome is equally impressive, not just with weapons and ammo but with high quality accessories as well. Players will want to be on the lookout for teams hiding in or emerging from the underground tunnels, and keep an ear out for player footsteps coming from either above or below is key to surviving shootouts in this Cold War-era missile b
After deciding he wanted a change he jumped into the game, which he had presented a Best Multiplayer Game award to just days earlier at The Game Awards. After logging in he discovered the ban, forcing a switch to Dead By Dayli
As mentioned, the circle is the biggest threat in the game besides the players. This circle can dish out large amounts of damage the longer the game goes on. Make sure to pay close attention to the minimap as it provides the player with the location of the circle and how much time before it begins to close again. Also, using vehicles is an excellent way to travel across the map in short amounts of time. Vehicles can be rare though, so once the player finds one, hold on to it close and use it as an advantage. The circle can also be used as a weapon of the players’ own. By pinning a player in a tough situation while the circle is behind them, the opponent has to make a tough decision. Either move forward and get shot at or wait hit until the circle takes them. Spacing this out can be advantage
Every new update to PUBG comes with a slew of patch notes, gameplay fixes, and minute changes to the way weapon damage, item handling, and other invisible game mechanics are handled. While there are already many guides on the best weapons in PUBG’s Season 7 , what follows below is a detailed explanation of some of the best locations in PUBG’s updated version of Vikendi for dropping into, be it for loot or for tactical advant
The most important idea to keep in mind when deciding where to drop lies in the path of the plane. The majority of players will land somewhere relatively close to the plane’s trajectory, so to avoid hot zones a player must stray as far away from the plane as possible. This can be done by not pulling your parachute and aiming your camera up, immediately after dropping. This will allow your character to glide towards whichever direction you are fac
This technique is a bit tricky and will require a slight dissection to understand. The vehicle dismount trick is one that allows players to escape a car or bike at max speed without taking any damage for leaving the car. This requires tight control over the given vehicle and any mistakes will spell death for that player. Essentially, this trick is just jumping out of a car while driving close to a stationary object. By dismounting right as you pass that object it will take the impact for you and not dish any fall damage. So by driving close to a tree, a player can dismount, while their vehicle continues moving at max speed and not die because of
The issue stems from the fact that Bluehole has by-and-large done nothing to quell complaints of Chinese-based hackers invading North American and European servers. While the lag introduced by linking players across such a great distance would be enough to make the average match borderline intolerable, this major influx of dishonest players has tarnished the game’s playability in the eyes of most f
