PUBG Beginners’ Guide 2025

If you're just jumping into PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG), you’ve landed in one of the most thrilling battle royale arenas out there. Whether you're dropping into Erangel’s fields or Miramar’s dunes, success is all about smart inventory choices, mastering weapon tiers, and staying online—not lagging out mid-fight. This guide will equip you with inventory hacks, weapon rankings, connection-saving tips, and an MVP tool—GearUP—to keep your ping low and your aim sharp.

Let’s gear up before that plane even lifts off.

Why PUBG Still Reigns—and What Newbies Need to Know

Since 2017, PUBG has defined the modern battle royale experience: tense atmospheres, realistic gunplay, and every drop feeling like make-or-break. While newer titles have emerged, PUBG continues to thrive thanks to constant updates, ranked matchmaking, and map expansions. New players may get overwhelmed, but with the right tools and knowledge, your path to Chicken Dinners can be swift and strategic.

 

 

Inventory Tips & Tricks: Mastering Your Loadout

Beginners often pile up items they don't need, but efficient looting is about balance and flexibility:

• Prioritize essentials: Always grab a primary weapon, a secondary, at least one medkit, a couple of bandages, and enough ammo (around 120 bullets per equipped weapon).
• Stack smart: Smoke grenades or stun grenades are more game-changing than frag grenades—for healing or quick rescues.
• Manage weight (on console): PUBG consoles may feature a carry limit—ensure you're not overloaded and sacrificing movement.
• Upgrade progressively: Keep four times scopes or suppressors if your backup weapon can use them; don’t leave them behind.
• Share wisely: If a teammate needs meds more than you, passing them up can be a lifesaver—and karma booster.

 

 

PUBG 2025 Weapon Tier List: What to Carry (and When)

Here’s a simplified tier breakdown to guide your picks:

S-Tier (Top Picks)

• M416 (AR): Stable, versatile—best for most encounters.
• Kar98k (Bolt-action): One-shot headshots at long range with practice.

A-Tier (Strong Choices)

• SCAR-L / M16A4: Solid AR choices when M416 isn’t available.
• UMP45 / Vector: Great close-quarters SMGs, especially with .45 ACP stock.

B-Tier (Situational)

• AKM / Beryl M762: High damage but high recoil—great if you can control it.
• MK12 / Mini 14: Good for mid- to long-range with semi-auto advantage.

C-Tier (Last Resort or Specific Use)

• SKS / SLR: Semi-autos with strong damage, but slower fire rates.
• Shotguns (S12K / S1897): Niche; only pick if the zone forces close-quarters play.

 

 

Server Issues & Connection Frustrations

Even the best-equipped player is powerless with lag. Common issues:

• Failed matchmaking or timeouts due to regional servers.
• High ping mid-match—resulting in rubber-banding, delayed hits, or sudden disconnections.
• Unpredictable packet loss that can drop your game just before final circles.

It's more common than you’d think, and it’s enough to send even seasoned players packing.

FAQ – Quick Answers for PUBG Newcomers

1. What’s the most beginner-friendly AR in PUBG?
The M416 takes the lead—low recoil, adaptable to both close and mid-range fights, and easy to control.

2. Should I prioritize SMGs or ARs early in the match?
SMGs (like UMP45 or Vector) are great early game due to their fire rate. But as the map opens, switch to an AR for flexibility.

3. How many medkits should I carry?
Carry at least 1–2 medkits plus bandages. Healing speed matters—medkits last 8 seconds, while bandages take much longer.

4. What do I do if the game keeps disconnecting?
First, check your network. Then use GearUP to optimize your routing and reduce packet loss to PUBG servers.

5. Are headshots always one-shot kills?
Only with high-damage weapons like Kar98k or M24—and only if the enemy isn't wearing a level 3 helmet.

PUBG demands more than quick reflexes—it rewards smart preparation, tactical choices, and rock-solid connections. With these beginner strategies and GearUP at your side, you’re ready to jump in, stay connected, and claim that Chicken Dinner.
