How to Fix High Ping in PUBG: Black Budget

If you are trying out PUBG: Black Budget, you may face one big problem: high ping. High ping can ruin the fun. It leads to lag. Shots don't register. Movement feels choppy. Sometimes you are dead before you even see the enemy.

In this article, we explore what causes high ping in PUBG: Black Budget --- and how to tackle it. We also introduce GearUP, a game booster that often solves ping problems fast.

What Is High Ping and Why It Matters?

Ping measures how quickly your computer communicates with the game server.

• Low ping (like 20--50 ms) is good. High ping (100 ms, 150 ms, or more) means lag, delay, and bad gameplay.
• High ping affects recoil, hit registration, movement --- all core parts of a shooter game. In a game like PUBG: Black Budget, where split‑second decisions matter, high ping can make or break you.

That's why when you see "ping 200 ms+," it's not just a number - it's a warning that your gameplay will suffer.

If you want to know what your ping is right now, you can also use GearUP’s Black Budget ping test tool.

Common Causes of High Ping in PUBG: Black Budget

Why does high ping happen? Here are the usual suspects:

• Network issues --- weak Wi‑Fi, unstable broadband, or overloaded Wi‑Fi.
• Server distance --- if the game only has servers far away from you, the data has to travel far. During the PUBG: Black Budget playtest, the game only opened Korean servers, which forces many overseas players to connect across regions — this is precisely caused by the distance to the servers.
• Background apps or downloads --- other programs (like streaming, updates, cloud sync) may hog bandwidth.
• Peak hours / server overload --- many players connecting at once can cause lag and slow down the connection.

How to Quickly Lower Ping in Black Budget?

You don’t want to spend a lot of time fiddling with your network, you know nothing about network settings, and you’re looking for a quick way to lower ping? We recommend GearUP. This game accelerator’s intelligent adaptive routing technology selects the shortest, most stable transmission paths based on your actual connection, performs optimization to significantly reduce lag in Black Budget, and also connects multiple backup routes to prevent sudden network jitter from causing spikes. After using GearUP, you can focus on Black Budget without having to worry about high ping.

Using GearUP only takes a few steps:

Step 1: Click this button to download GearUP.

Step 2: Search for PUBG Black Budget.

Step 3: Choose a server; “Auto” means GearUP will automatically connect you to the best server.

Step 4: Start acceleration, then launch the game — you can view real-time network changes through GearUP.

What Else Should You Pay Attention To?

Although GearUP provides a quick and effective solution, you still need to pay attention to the following network usage habits, because they will affect your local network connection — it's like if your car is broken, no matter what you do you can't go fast on the highway:

• Use wired connection (ethernet) instead of Wi‑Fi. Wired is more stable and less prone to interference.
• Close other programs or downloads that use internet. No streaming, no big downloads, no cloud sync while gaming.
• If possible, change to a server region closer to you (if the game offers manual server selection in the future).
• Avoid playing during network-heavy hours (peak time), when many players connect.
• Make sure your network drivers and router firmware are updated. Sometimes that helps.

PUBG: Black Budget High Ping Quick Q&A

Q1: Are Black Budget's ping and internet speed related?

Not really. Bandwidth/speed has little impact on latency—ping is mostly determined by which server node you connect to and the route’s stability. Upgrading to a faster broadband connection won’t necessarily lower your ping.

Q2: Why not use a VPN?

PUBG: Black Budget does not restrict players’ IPs, so you can enter the game without a VPN. But a VPN’s encrypted nodes can cause you to connect over a longer distance, which may instead increase ping—this is completely different from what GearUP does.

Q3: Is GearUP’s Black Budget ping test accurate?

Yes. GearUP tests the ping to the corresponding game server, which is the closest to the actual in-game ping (there may be slight differences in some cases). Commercial speed-test tools connect to test nodes, not the game server, so they can differ significantly from the real game ping.

Conclusion

Fixing PUBG: Black Budget’s high ping does not require complicated settings, because in the vast majority of cases the problem lies with the node you are connected to — it can be quickly resolved via GearUP. At the same time, please pay attention to your local network usage to avoid local anomalies that cause ping to rise. Now why not try following this guide.
