:parachute: PUBG Beginner’s Guide: How to Survive Your First Match

New to PUBG and feeling overwhelmed?
Don’t worry — we’ve all dropped into the battleground, grabbed a frying pan, and wondered what the heck was going on. :joy:
This guide will give you the must-know survival tips to stay alive, win fights, and maybe even snag that sweet first Chicken Dinner! :poultry_leg:

Let’s gear up and get you battle-ready!


:dart: Step 1: Choose Your Landing Spot Wisely

Where you land can decide your whole match.
Pro Tip: Don’t land in the hot zones (Pochinki, School, Bootcamp) right away!

:white_check_mark: Look for smaller towns or outlying compounds — places with decent loot but fewer enemies.
:white_check_mark: Stay away from the plane’s direct flight path if you’re nervous about early fights.
:white_check_mark: Practice landing faster by aiming just short of your spot and parachuting early.

:flight_arrival: Safer land = More time to loot = Better chance to survive.

:gun: Step 2: Loot Smart, Not Hard

It’s not about grabbing everything — it’s about grabbing the right things.

:school_satchel: Your early priority should be:

  • Helmet + Vest (Protection first!)
  • One Close-Range Gun (SMG or shotgun)
  • One Long-Range Gun (Assault Rifle, DMR, or Sniper)
  • Healing Items (First-aid kits, bandages, energy drinks)

:bulb: Tip: Always grab a backpack quickly so you can carry more gear without stress.

:brain: Step 3: Play it Slow (At First)

PUBG isn’t Fortnite — running around like crazy will just get you shot. :sweat_smile:

:white_check_mark: Move carefully, stay near cover (buildings, trees, rocks).
:white_check_mark: Use third-person view to peek around corners without exposing yourself.
:white_check_mark: Listen for footsteps — PUBG’s audio is your best friend.
:white_check_mark: Only take fights when you have the advantage.

If you see enemies fighting?
Let them wear each other down first, then clean up the survivors!


:package: Step 4: Always Keep an Eye on the Circle

The blue zone hurts — and it gets deadlier over time.

:white_check_mark: Keep an eye on your map — plan your moves early.
:white_check_mark: Don’t be the guy sprinting 1,000 meters at the last second.
:white_check_mark: Get into the safe zone and find a good spot before everyone else arrives.

:bulb: Pro Tip: If you’re already inside the next circle, pick a high ground or hidden spot to ambush late runners.


:red_car: Step 5: Use Vehicles Carefully

Vehicles are great for escaping the blue zone — but they’re loud!

:white_check_mark: If you’re far from the safe zone, grab a car and move fast.
:white_check_mark: Park vehicles behind cover (trees, rocks) when you arrive — don’t leave them out in the open.
:white_check_mark: Be ready: driving will alert nearby players, so expect trouble when you stop.
