Advanced strategies and pro techniques to dominate the battlefield
Always pre-fire around corners where enemies are likely to be. Use the Q and E keys to lean and minimize your exposure while maintaining sight lines.
Walk (Ctrl) in high-risk areas. Footsteps travel far and can give away your position. Use environmental sounds like gunfire to mask your movement.
Learn weapon recoil patterns by practicing in shooting range. Pull down and slightly left for most rifles. Burst fire is more effective than full auto at medium range.
Never stay in the same position for more than 3 shots, 3 seconds, or 3 kills. This prevents enemies from flanking or pre-aiming your position.
Use Ctrl while sprinting to slide, then immediately press Space to jump-cancel the slide. This maintains momentum while staying unpredictable.
Always try to secure high ground. It provides better sight lines, makes you harder to hit, and gives you more escape routes. Rooftops and elevated positions are key.
Early raids (first 5 minutes) have fewer players but better loot spawns. Late raids (last 10 minutes) are safer but picked clean. Plan accordingly.
Most players follow predictable patterns. Observe common routes, camping spots, and rotation timings. Use this knowledge to outmaneuver opponents.
Use false information to confuse enemies. Fire a few shots in one direction, then rotate to flank. Make noise in areas you're not planning to push.
Mistake: Playing with music or ignoring audio cues.
Solution: Use good headphones and keep game volume high. Audio is 50% of the information you need.
Mistake: Hoarding low-value items or poor space management.
Solution: Always prioritize value per slot. Drop items worth less than $2,000 per slot.
Mistake: Chasing kills when you should extract.
Solution: Know when to disengage. A successful extraction with loot is better than a risky kill attempt.
