Welcome to PUBG: Sanhok Map Guide

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) needs no introduction. Since its global release, the battle royale phenomenon has captivated millions with its realism, tension, and depth. Whether you're scrambling for cover in buildings or dodging bullets across wide-open fields, every match consists of split‑second decisions. Today, we'll focus on Sanhok—the 4×4 km tropical map packed with action.

Just like pros dissect Madden plays, we’ll dissect what elite players do on Sanhok. From map callouts and hiding spots to strategy breakdowns and connection solutions, by the end you’ll play smarter—and maybe safer.

 

 

Introduction to Sanhok Map

Sanhok is PUBG’s smallest and densest map, set in a lush jungle environment inspired by Southeast Asia. Released in June 2018, it fosters fast‑paced combat and offers tight terrain, close quarters, and verticality. With fluid zoning and shorter flight paths, Sanhok guarantees that you’ll be in the action faster. The map features diverse areas—jungle villages, beaches, temples, hills—all connected via little chokepoints.

Because of its small scale, pros emphasize map knowledge, rotations, and positioning more than on larger maps.

 

 

Breaking Down the Sanhok Map & Callouts

Pros split the map into key zones and use clear callouts. Here’s a split‑map breakdown:

• Ruins / Temple – ancient stone ruins at the north‑west.
• Pai Nan / Pai Nan School – central town with compound clusters and school.
• Ha Tinh / Quarry – central rocky hills and open quarry area.
• Bootcamp – southeast high‑density military zone.
• Paradise Resort – northeast large complex on the beach.
• Khao – west jungly hills and small compounds.
• Camp Alpha, Bravo, Charlie – central military camps around the hills.
• Tat Mok, Docks, San Martin – smaller compound clusters.

In pro scrims, teams call rotate routes: “we’re rotating from Bootcamp through Khao → Ruins” or “cover School to Quarry”. These callouts reduce confusion when the circle closes.

Top 10 Hiding Places in Sanhok

Here are the top 10 spots where pros like to hide or ambush on Sanhok—scouted for rotation points, cover, loot, and ambush opportunities:

• Under the Temple Archways (Ruins) – tight sightlines and near center circle.
• Pai Nan School Stairwell – vertical control and surprise from above.
• Bootcamp Dorm Windows – peek from upper level into courtyards.
• Quarry Boulders – natural cover near central high ground.
• Paradise Resort Poolside Gazebo – cover in otherwise open beachfront.
• Camp Alpha Fortified Walls – near edge of town with line of sight.
• Rice Fields Bushes (between Pai Nan & Quarry) – camouflaged, low-profile.
• Khao Cliffside Rocks – elevation hiding with sweeping view.
• San Martin Church Second‑Floor Balcony – long sightlines towards Docks.
• Roadside Trees near Tat Mok Compound – perfect for ambush rotations.

Each location is chosen for high‑kill potential or safe rotation timing—ideal when moving between zones.

 

 

Strategies Pros Use on Sanhok

Early Game (Drop & Loot):

• Pros drop into medium‑looted but usually contested zones: Pai Nan School or Bootcamp. They boss the early engagements using fast reloads, grenades, sliding peeks.
• Less contested: Khao, Tat Mok, or San Martin, where you can loot safely and rotate quickly.

Mid‑Game (Rotations & Zone Reads):

• Quick zone calls: as soon as the plane path is known, pros plan rotations 20‑30 seconds before zone closes.
• Use natural terrain: hills near Quarry and Khao let pros hold mid‑circle high ground.
• Third‑party proactively: if two teams are fighting in Pai Nan, pros sneak in behind them to secure kills.

Late Game (Final Circles):

• Prefer rocky terrain or compound tight spaces (e.g. Ruins archways or Bootcamp dorms) to minimize open exposure.
• Flash granades and smoke: always have utility for zone crossing and cover.
• Map awareness: use footsteps, zone sound, and mini‑map to guess enemy rotations.
• If high ground is available (e.g. Quarry hill), hold from a safe distance and force others to rotate uphill.

Team Tactics (Sangoku Style):

• Use one player (“third‑party opener”) to engage early fights lightly, while others circle around or split push.
• Communicate callouts quickly: “Temple arch——enemy pushing from stairwell, cover me rotating east.”

 

 

Sanhok Tips & Tricks

• Parachute early: jump and open chute at about 300 m to land faster than opponents in small zones.
• Bike routes matter: in mid‑circle rotations, use the compact map to your advantage—motorbikes are faster than traversing jungle.
• Grenade rebounding: throw grenades into small compounds to flush out opponents (e.g. Bootcamp house corners).
• Loot memory: pros memorize the best crates in Pai Nan school, Quarry, and Bootcamp dorms for fast load‑outs.
• Sound is king: Sanhok’s bark, rustle, and footsteps echo—listen for jungle vines and doors in dense foliage.

 

 

Server & Connection Issues on Sanhok

Even pros occasionally struggle with connectivity, especially when playing with friends.
Many players report failed server connections, high ping, and even disconnections, especially on Sanhok due to data‑heavy foliage and terrain.
This can turn your intense push into a frustrating server error—or get you killed while spectating.
It’s a recurring complaint across platforms—PUBG’s mainland servers sometimes stall or disconnect squads mid‑match on Sanhok.
