Acknowledging the faults this weapon holds is important to understand its strengths. The assault rifles in the game are the Jacks of all trades but master of none, and that’s okay. It does a serviceable job in almost all facets of PUBG DLC‘s game ty
The ability of a solid weapon to both, adequately, fulfill a player’s major concerns is a blessing more than a curse. Rather than thinking of it as being inferior to the weapons that excel at certain ranges, think of it more like an all arounder type gun. It doesn’t have the major drawbacks of other weapons found with other weapons in the PUBG arse
Fortnite is something of a unique presence on this list in the sense that it was never really supposed to take the form it has now become known for. The original intent behind the game was to create a co-op sandbox survival experience, and while that form of the game has still found success, it is the existence of Fortnite Battle Royale that sees the game included as a multiplayer standout from 2
What’s also a letdown is PUBG’s development focus that has seen a slow rollout of content and essential fixes, consistently poor optimization, and an aggressive focus on unwelcome microtransactions for cosmetics, and worse, loot boxes. When combined with a terrible reward rate of in-game currency, PUBG’s gameplay loop is simply a turn
Assault rifles sort of fill this weird limbo within PUBG. They aren’t exactly good for long-range fights like sniper rifles are, but they also aren’t better than other weapons for close-range combat. So what do we make of these weapons? If they aren’t designed for long or close-range combat what is their purpose? And the answer is that they aren’t meant to fill both and some middle gro
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
Part of the charm of the game is the way it balances killer and camp counselor, a tightrope act that shouldn’t be ignored. Mechanics mesh extremely well with gameplay and give players a variety of options in escaping Jason Voorhees —unless they’re lucky enough to play as him instead, a delightful experience that is equal parts frenetic and fun. Sure, parts of Friday the 13th: The Game are disappointing, but it was, for at least a few weeks, one of the most hotly-debated and thoroughly-enjoyed multiplayer titles of 2017, earning it a spot on this l
Players familiar with the first-person shooter genre are more than likely aware of the varying functions that a gun will serve in a match. Shotguns are for close range, Pistols are for short-range and finishing off weak enemies, sniper-rifles are for long-range, but how do we navigate what purpose Assault rifles serve? And the question is not an easy one to answer, but we will expand upon how Assault rifles can be u
So why did For Honor never seem to gain much traction in 2017? It’s tough to say—a lot of games got lost in the shuffle of what has to be one of the gaming industry’s most illustrious years yet. Ubisoft has remained committed to providing new content for players, however, and anyone who missed For Honor the first time around would be remiss not to give it a look during the holiday sea
While PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has a mobile version, this contrasts from Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Blackout and Call of Duty: Mobile, which are two distinct games. The level of detail and exploration in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Blackout make it an outstanding battle royale g
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
The Xbox version of the game, a half-baked port of a PC title which isn’t well optimized as is on its lead platform, still runs poorly even on the powerful Xbox One X. Its fundamental gameplay mechanics are clunky and subpar compared to any other notable shooter, and it looks dated. Skip forward a year, and now PlayStation 4 players can experience the same disappointment and bugs. Little has changed, and shockingly, PUBG on PS4 is the worst version of the g
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
