to survive in playerunknown's battlegrounds, you need the best equipment and know how to use it. we show the most important weapons, helmets, medic items, attachments and more.
in the battle royal shooter playerunknown's battlegrounds often decide the right equipment about victory or death. anyone who does not cover themselves with protective equipment and the right weapons will get a problem at the latest when the zone is growing and confrontation is bound to happen.
to ensure that this does not happen, we have compiled some important tips on equipment and weapons in playerunknown's battlegrounds. little disclaimer: this guide is based on the early access version at the release date. in the course of development, new items can be added or altered. the early access test for playunknown's battlegrounds tells you how much you like the game.
pubg best weapons
the best sniper rifle
the best sniper gun in playerunknown's battlegrounds is undoubtedly the awm. the 300 magnum monster is a short process with almost every opponent and every protective equipment. in addition, it offers the highest range and the highest damage of all weapons in the game.
the problem: the awm is only found in airdrops or dead players who have collected them. it is correspondingly difficult and risky to get to the weapon. if you are lucky enough to hold one in your hands, the awm can even improve with silencers, scopes, extended magazines and other attachments.
also only in airdrops: the m24 sniper rifle, which comes close to the awm, with its 7.62mm ammunition but caused a little less damage. otherwise, the m24 is as precise and effective as its larger relative.
if one is not lucky enough to get one of these two sniper rifles, the sks and the kar98 remain. both are rare, but can be found by chance in the game world. the sks is semi-automatic and especially suitable for medium distances.
their succession is faster than that of all other sniper rifles and their magazine capacity with ten rounds (without attachments) higher. the carabiner 98 kurz (kar98) is a classic repeating rifle. it is powerful enough to instantly kill enemies with a headshot - even through a helmet level 1 or 2.
fields and other open spaces in pubg are often true death zones, in which one should not stay long.
shotguns are not just for melee
the two shotguns s1897 and s686 are absolute miracles, especially on short distances, and do most enemies on a few meters with a single hit. but compared to other games, they can be very effective in pubg even at longer distances. up to about 20-30 meters away, a shotgun is still causing damage. if a choke is attached to the weapon, you can increase range and accuracy properly.
the s1897 is a shotgun shotgun with five shots in the magazine, the s686 is a double-barrel shotgun and needs to be loaded after two shots, but its range and precision is already slightly higher.
there is also a semiautomatic shotgun with the s12k. it has the highest fire rate of this category, but has a limited range. in the absence of a choke, it can not be upgraded for medium distances.
as a rule, it is worthwhile to have a shotgun for the battle in buildings next to a storm or sniper rifle.
the most important items in pubg which can save your life
backpacks are life
without a rucksack in playerunknown's battlegrounds nothing at all, because you can carry only a handful of objects with you. therefore you should look for a backpack as soon as possible after landing.
just like all the equipment items (helmets, vests), there are backpacks in three stages. a backpack on level 1 provides 150 carrying capacity, level 2 brings 200 capacity, and level 3 is the largest with 250 capacity. here is simply and simply: the bigger, the better. only those who are able to carry enough ammunition and medipacks with themselves has a real chance to get into the lategame.
west and helmets are even more life
protective equipment is the a and o, in order not to go immediately at the change of the shot. each vest increases the inventory by 50 and provides a level-dependent armor value. the police vest level 1 brings 200 armor, a police vest level 2 has 220 armor and the military vest level 3 over 250 armor. note: there is no military vest level 1 or 2 and no police vest level 3!
the helmets, which also occur in three stages, are very similar. the motorcycle helmet (level 1) holds weak calibers and offers 80 armor, the military helmet has 80 armor and the level 3 helmet even over 230 armor. the latter, by the way, is the only helmet to shoot direct shots in the face and headshots from the sks and kar98 - the other two are already too weak.
special care must be taken when collecting helmets and vests from defeated opponents! if the equipment has already been damaged, it may not be able to withstand the next confrontation. so better check again, in which state the items are.
the equipment makes it: a large backpack, a heavy waistcoat and a stable helmet enormously increase the survival chances.
