Strategies

## Essential Knowledge

1. Don't fight a player with a short range weapon in short range. Keep a distance away from that player and fire using long-range or mid-range weapons such as ARs or snipers.

2. Reverse Impulse and Impulse Grenades are very helpful. They can be used to pull back an escaping target or push away an advancing one, save you or your teammates from the storm, drag an enemy into a house or "jump" through a wall of a house to where you can use your close-range guns, and much more. They're a versatile item, and are an indispensable addition to anyone's repertoire of skills.

3. The other grenades are also viable in their own ways, and learning how to use them will greatly improve your gameplay.

4. If you're aiming for more kills, land in an area where more people land (i.e. Radical Reef/Mystic Forest/Blossom Burbs). But watch out for your health as you might get killed in the process!

5. If you're aiming for more wins, try to land at an area without too many people and start off by collecting some weapons.

6. A good organization method in your inventory is to have items/guns in order of rarity, common to mythic. For example, healing items and grenades go in the first two squares, then a rare Pump Shotgun, then Epic P90 so on and so forth

## Survival Strategies

1. Land far away from the plane.

2. Avoid where most people go.

3. Try to be the first one to loot as you may get weapons before your enemies do.

4. You only need a few weapons (like 2-3) to save room for Med Kits, Bandages and Potions.

5. You can get more ammo by switching your weapon with one on the ground and then switching back. You don't have to rely on ammo on the ground. This is really useful as most guns on the ground will have 30 ammo in them, and that adds up.

6. Don't be greedy for loot unless it's worth it.

7. When you're low on bullets, don't attack people if they don't have the loot you want.

8. When you are being shot, go to the other side of the bullets and run around the shooter. You may get hit more than once but at least they'll have to aim again and you have time to shoot back. (May not be a good strategy when you are low on shield and health)

9. If you see crates in the gas, shoot them and see if the loot inside is worth losing health for.

10. When running away from a better player, hide in houses. It buys time to quickly use a few bandages, and forces the attacker to change their strategy from long-range to short-range. Plus, some houses may have leftover loot that you can probably use.

11. A house with two entrances is always better than a house with one. It grants an escape plan when things go sideways. Three is even better! Don't forget that you can use impulse grenades to push yourself out of a building as an escape plan. (Assuming you're playing solos not duos or squads because in duos or squads, you can get pinched).

12. Wear a basic outfit/melee/backpack. Don't wear a high skill skin if you are trying to keep a low profile but also don't do full default, people will go for you thinking you're an easy target.

13. Always try to stay away from a fight. If you hear bullets, it's best to hide or go the other direction.

14. If you're going in small huts (ones with 1 door only), ensure no one is around, otherwise, they will think you are an easy target and will start attacking you.

15. Med Kits and Big Shields take time to consume, so look around to ensure nobody is around then you can use it. Try getting to cover before you start healing.

16.If you see 2 strong players fighting, stay away and hide in houses. After they killed each other/either one of them survived but weakened, charge out to finished the weakened player off, and go grab the loot you need. It is called 'The Benefited Fisherman Tactic' (from a Chinese story) or 'cleaning tactic'.

17. Don't always go straight for the airdrop when it appears, because almost all the players (especially the new players who think that they will win because of the loot inside) will go right to it. Your best bet is to wait for a later drop that might be closer. If it is indeed closer, then go for it, but I recommend using a sniper rifle or anything that has a good FOV to look around and see if anyone is coming. If there is a house(s) nearby, then check those to see if anyone can use those to shoot at you from. (Or anyone is already inside) If (or when) a player is approaching, either shoot if you think you can hold your own, or run if you suspect that this is a fight you can't win. There is no honor lost if you let another player get some more items. Another tip is that if you REALLY want the drop, is let someone get close, then snipe or go in guns blazing.

## Kill Strategies

1. Pump shotguns are wonderful because you can deal a lot of damage in a single shot, but they require some skill to use effectively.

2. Try to use a Pump Shotgun if you have one, while at close range.

3. In long-range battles, it is best to use a sniper rifle and AR combo to chip away at the enemies health.

4. Try to dodge bullets when fighting, move back and forth and try to find cover, don't hold still or you'll get shot and die.

5. In Duos or Squads, your friend can revive you. Don't run from players with name tags, they are on your team.

6. Don't extend your peeks, they allow enemies to shoot you.

7. You can damage yourself but not teammates with an RPG. So be careful not to hit yourself with one!

8. Hiding inside of houses can be risky. Never open the door unless you have a plan.

9. Have guns for short, mid and long range battles. A good combination is a shotgun or SMG for close range, an AR for mid range, and a sniper for long range.

10. Snipe at everyone you see, sometimes you can clean up an unsuspecting player by doing this. This gives you free loot to utilize, and grants you an elimination.

11 Tag airdrops on your map. (Press M and click anywhere on the map to place a marker.) This allows you to locate the coveted airdrop weapon, even if it's been taken - you simply need to hunt the person who took it around the area where you put a marker.

12. Preferably use WASD. It makes it a lot easier when picking up loot, grabbing chests/crates, and makes it easier to shoot.

13. To rack up some easy kills, have a RPG, a rare or higher shotgun, or a Flamethrower and go to a hut, and shoot people who look in. Make sure to pay attention to the gas and leave when you need to.

14. Always pick up a sniper. They pack quite a punch, and are good for easier finishes.

15. Shotguns might seem pretty good, but they slow your speed down. Only use shotguns when in close range, and if the opponent moves out of the range, then switch to an AR or SMG. (It's better to use shotguns when in a building or your opponent is in one.)

16. If you have a sniper, try to lure an opponent that doesn't see you by sniping the player. If he doesn't die and he is shooting you, try run away from the gunfire and at the same time, hide in the trees. Once the player come close enough, pull out a short-ranged weapon (SMG or shotgun) and come close to him. Then you'll have the advantage to shoot him down with a close range weapon.

17. During the end games use fast firing weapons to prevent others from being able to safely enter the circle, This means that the enemy will have to find another entrance or run through your stream of bullets. This works more when in squads however is still useful in solos and duos.

18. Order your weapons in a way that you remember. The last slots take longer to switch to. This will let you easily take out an enemy. It is better to keep healing items in your last slot, since you only want to use healing items when you are safe.

19. When playing with a squad, make sure everyone has a fast firing weapon. If 4 streams of bullets are constantly firing at an enemy, it is almost impossible to survive.

20. If the enemy is behind a door and you both have a shotgun, be the one to open the door. Rapidly press fire right after you open the door. This lets you get the first shot in.

21. In all modes use a sniper to look for other players fighting. When one of them dies and the other starts healing, snipe the person and switch to a fast firing weapon to finish them off. This is especially effective if you jump near the beginning (not recommended) or if you are one of the last survivors.

22. When you are stuck inside a building from both sides, leaving you no exit. Use the impulse/reverse impulse to escape safely and take minimal damages.

23. If you saw someone picking up a crate in the gas, better finish them off as it might be a threat to you.

24. If you and your opponent are pushing against a wall you can switch to your shotgun/SMG and shoot them through the wall.

25. Try to use combos such as Freeze nade, Gas nade, Goo gun, Flamethrower, and Airstrike for a trap that deals high damage.

26. You can also use a combo such as the Grenade, or AR combo. First, you throw a grenade, then you try to strafe them with your AR as the nade explodes. You can use this method on bots too.

## Advanced Strategies

1. DO NOT USE THIS METHOD IF YOU ARE NOT A SKILLED PLAYER. This is an instakill method if you do it right. Only works at about short to mid-range. Weapons you need: Bolt-Action Sniper, epic or above, and a Pump Shotgun, preferably a legendary. But if you get every bullet in, an epic one will work too. Also, you need an impulse grenade. Throw an impulse based on where your enemy is, then snipe them. When you land right next to the enemy, use your pump shotgun to shoot them. This should result in one dead player even if they have full health and shield. If you have a epic Bolt-Action Sniper and a epic Pump Shotgun, your best result is a perfect 200 damage insta-kill.

2. Pick up as much as you can get. There are different ammo types so preferably choose different guns for different ammo (otherwise if run out both guns are useless). During the first phase you'll want to be as safe as possible. Hybrid Potions are great to save, but drink the Small and Big Shields immediately. (Note that Small Shields only work if you are below 50 in shield.)

3. It's a good idea to arrange you weapons. It provides for easier and faster switching and prevents unintended mishaps (switching to an RPG and blowing yourself up by accident when you wanted an SMG). Try sorting them by range, from far to short or the other way around. A tip for scrollers - this arrangement suits you best as you can simply scroll upwards or downwards from your sniper to your AR if the enemy is close enough.

4. The medium range gun is what you'll switch to for most fights. When fighting in medium range strafe to confuse your enemies whilst still utilizing the cover provided. If you find Mythics (Scoped M4, Assault SCAR, Silenced AR-15) Be sure to pick them up as they are the best weapons available.

5. The shotgun is what you'll switch to while inside houses. It is a good for close up battles. Also great for killing knocked down players, go right next to them and shoot for great damage (beware this may pump them through a wall and causing them to escape if you're close to a wall). Pump Shotguns offer a large, dense spray of bullets whereas Assault Shotguns have a tight spread and far range, making it useful even outdoors.

6. It's best to carry only three weapons and two miscellaneous items (it can still be weapons). One sniper, one AR and one SMG or shotgun for the weapons, and a stack of Bandages and Hybrid Potions. Of course, it all varies - an RPG in place of the sniper or a miscellaneous slot is good for dealing with the hectic race for the Airdrop; its heavy splash damage is nifty too. Grenades, any kind, can provide tactical advantages that win you games.

7. Slowly move in and let most of the fighting happen for you. But if you see an enemy do not hesitate to attack, getting the jump on someone else usually means victory. Keep upgrading your guns until the final phase.

8. The endgame is littered with fully-stacked players, some carrying powerful Airdrop weapons. However, the gas circle can give advantages to many different weapon ranges depending on where it is. If it circles in on Blossom Burbs, Cozy Cabins, Lucky Lake or Tinker Town, SMGs have an advantage in the sense that they can skirt through houses and corners for easy killings. If it circles in on Faraway Farm, Space Base, Bomber Base or Infantry Island or Haunted Hollow, ARs can easily use their superior range and fire rate to clear obstacles and shoot enemies in the same clip. Anywhere else gives snipers a clear lane of fire and no place to hide - what more do they need to absolutely destroy everyone? You can go through walls by throwing impulses at yourself and then moving toward the wall in question. you can also pull others and yourself together by using the reverse impulses. This can be combed with grenades to make a deadly weapon!

9. Know how to switch guns while shooting. This allows you to do more damage in a shorter amount of time. A common switch is sniper, AR, shotgun, and grenade.

10. Bounce grenades off of windows. This allows you to hit people behind the window in an angle they don't regularly expect. If they do manage to dodge it, you could maybe get a cheeky snipe or shotgun shot off which might be a game-turner.

11. If you are in a house and a player tries to come in, throw a reverse impulse and a grenade at the same time, and if the player doesn't get eliminated, just fire a shotgun at them.
