Whether it’s loved or hated, it can’t be said that this record-setting battle royale title doesn’t wield an absolutely titanic amount of influence on the industry. With more than a quarter billion players registered as of March 2019, to say Fortnite is still going strong would be a massive understatem
Mosin-Nagant: This is the newest rifle to be found in Season 7. It’s essentially the same as the Kar98k , but it just looks a little different. Being a bolt-action sniper rifle, it can do quite a bit of damage and even tear through top-tier armor. However, it takes a little time to load the next shot. With a good scope, players can easily be a „Ghost In The Wind“, while plugging players from afar. Just be sure to stay out of si
Level three vests and backpacks regularly spawn in the Abbey, and the amount of assault rifles and ammo located with its religious halls means that any squad who gets there first usually has a good chance of keeping it properly defended. The Abbey is a great place to visit, but if players are looking to take part in what could possibly be PUBG’s single biggest building shoot-out ever, they should look instead to the Cosmodr
Season 7 of **PlayerUnknown’s BATTLEGROUNDS ** has begun, and in addition to returning players to the snow covered landscape of Vikendi the game also introduces players to a (theoretically) new weapon in the form of the Mosin-Nagant sniper rifle . While some of the changes made to Vikendi’s map are drastic, such as the activation of the rail system which allows players a brand-new way to travel across the landscape and the removal of areas like Tovar and Movatra, others are smaller but just as important, such as the fact that there is much, much less snow for players to leave footprints
PUBG’s Season 7 provides a dangerous new environment for players to traverse, but thankfully they won’t have to worry about things like falling through the ice or dying from hypothermia. Instead, players will have to keep an eye on moving trains, evidence of vehicle traffic, and the ever-present looming blue circle which, while it still does the same amount of damage as gamers are used to, provides a smaller initial safe area than people are used to. There are a number of new and revised areas in Season 7’s version of Vikendi, and some of the best ones to drop into are detailed be
When PUBG was breaking records left and right and boasting player counts that gave Valve’s Dota 2 a run for its money, Bluehole seemed content to rest on their laurels and sporadically introduce updates while refusing to respond to player criticisms. The battle royale boom of early-to-mid 2018 saw them making money hand-over-fist, and a major reason for that was due to their popularity in the Chinese gaming space. As a result, the developer wasn’t all that keen on doing anything to harm an extremely profitable economy despite the fact that it came at the behest of Western play
The most popular game of its kind deserves placement on this list and praise for what it’s accomplished for the battle royale genre. Fortnite has changed quite a bit since its release way back in 2017. The level of detail has improved significantly and it’s added features like cross-platform play, new skins, and fish
UMP9: The UMP9 is a good all-around SMG that can go the distance with any match. Even though it eats bullets like popcorn, it uses 9mm bullets which are scattered all over the map like Christmas candy. So, players will clearly have no shortage of ammunition with it. It’s most deadly at close to medium range and can be effective at chewing up other players‘ health status‘. It’s maybe not the best at using it as a primary weapon, but it’s a handsome choice as a secondary
Yet, as player numbers dropped and competition became more prominent, Bluehole finally caved to audience demands and removed the ability to search for games by region. While it was a well-received—albeit incredibly late—gesture, it did relatively little to stem the torrent of cheaters plaguing Western servers. Players can easily use a VPN service to artificially switch regions, and there are similar workarounds for the ping lock restriction. Things may be a little better than they once were, but aim-botting, unkillable cheaters sporting triple-digit ping figures are still fairly common in most ar
As with all games, this downward trend in player count likely has a considerable amount to do with the game’s age. Few titles can boast the continued popularity of software like CS:GO or Team Fortress 2 , and, according to Steam Charts , this update did virtually nothing to draw players back to the game. While its status as a willing victim of player mal-intent couldn’t have helped, it’s likely that PUBG is succumbing to simple entr
One of Vikendi’s most popular areas before the map was pulled from PUBG rotation , Brendan Greene Artemis the Abbey returns in a slightly altered and much less accessible format here. Previously larger and located in the southern middle of the map, now the Abbey has been moved to the top of Mount Kreznic. Despite its remote location, however, players should seriously consider the Abbey as a great place to either drop in on or swing by on the way to the circle, even if getting there from ground level takes a little longer than it used
