Finding High-Value Loot#

Getting geared up in PUBG: Battlegrounds is all about finding the right spots for high-value loot. This can be the difference between getting an early win or being swiftly knocked out. Let’s dive into the best ways to score top-tier equipment.

Hot Drop Locations#

Hot drop locations are the places where top-tier loot is most likely to spawn. These areas usually come with a high risk because everyone knows about them. But if you’re feeling brave, conquering these spots can set you up for the match.

1. Pochinki (Erangel): A central location loaded with houses and buildings. It’s a popular spot, so expect lots of competition.
2. School (Erangel): Jam-packed with weapons and armor, but very risky. You’re likely to run into multiple enemies here.
3. Military Base (Erangel): One of the best places for loot but also one of the most dangerous. Military-grade gear can be found in abundance.
4. Yasnaya Polyana (Erangel): Large town with plenty of buildings to search. Good chance to find high-level equipment, but also high chance of encounters.
5. Bootcamp (Sanhok): Another hotspot with a variety of high-level loot. Be prepared for intense close-quarters combat.

Less Crowded Treasure Troves#

If you want good loot but prefer to avoid the chaos, here are some quieter places that still have decent gear:

1. Severny (Erangel): Less contested than Pochinki or School, but has enough buildings to provide solid loot.
2. Primorsk (Erangel): Usually outside the flight path but packed with good gear. Worth it if you’re aiming for a more peaceful start.
3. Ha Tinh (Sanhok): Smaller location that still has a good amount of high-quality loot, and not as crowded as Bootcamp.

Buildings and Structures to Prioritize#

Certain buildings in PUBG usually contain better loot than others. These are the ones you should prioritize:

1. Large Warehouses: These contain multiple open spots where weapons and armor can easily be spotted.
2. Apartments: Multiple rooms with lots of potential for finding weapons, armor, and attachments.
3. Military Barracks: Always a good bet for high-end military gear like assault rifles, sniper rifles, and tactical equipment.
4. Shops and offices: Generally concise and stacked with essential loot.

High-Value Loot Items#

When moving through your chosen location, be on the lookout for certain high-value items:

1. Assault Rifles (ARs): Versatile and powerful, these are your go-to weapons for most situations.
2. Sniper Rifles: Essential for long-range engagements and picking off enemies from a distance.
3. Level 3 Armor and Helmets: The best protection you can get. Always pick these up if you find them.
4. Medical Supplies: First Aid Kits, Med Kits, and Boosters (like Painkillers and Energy Drinks) can save your life in a pinch.
5. Attachments: Scopes, extended magazines, and grips can greatly enhance your weapon’s performance.

Using Vehicles to Your Advantage#

When scouring for high-value loot, vehicles can be your best friend. They allow you to cover more ground quickly and access different locations without getting caught in the blue zone. Some vehicles even offer protection while you drive.

• UAZs and Dacia (Erangel): Ideal for traveling long distances and soaking up some bullets if needed.
• Scooters and Motorcycles (Sanhok): Great for zipping around the map quickly.

Tips and Tricks#

1. Land quickly: The faster you land, the sooner you can start gathering loot before others arrive.
2. Use headphones: Listening for enemy footsteps can give you an advantage when looting high-risk areas.
3. Be methodical: Check each room thoroughly so you don’t miss any valuable items.
4. Keep moving: Don’t stay in one spot for too long, especially in high-traffic areas. Grab what you need and move on.

Finding high-value loot can be a game-changer in PUBG: Battlegrounds. Knowing where to go and what to look for will set you up for success. Good luck and happy looting!

Looting and Inventory: Managing Inventory Space#

When you drop into the intense world of PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS, managing your inventory space can be the difference between life and death. It’s not just about grabbing every shiny object you see; strategic inventory management will keep you ready for anything the battleground throws at you.

Understanding Your Capacity#

First things first, know your limits. Your character’s base inventory space is determined by the type of backpack you’re carrying. Here’s the lowdown:

• No Backpack: 50 capacity
• Level 1 Backpack: 150 capacity
• Level 2 Backpack: 200 capacity
• Level 3 Backpack: 250 capacity

Each item you pick up takes a certain amount of this space, so don’t overestimate what you can carry.

Prioritizing Must-Have Items#

When it comes to looting efficiently, prioritization is key. Here are the essentials:

• Weapons: Always have a mix of short and long-range options. An assault rifle (AR) like the M416 combined with a sniper rifle (SR) like the Kar98k is a strong combo.
• Ammo: You need to have enough ammo but don’t overdo it. Around 180 rounds for ARs and 30-40 for SRs often works well without hogging all your space.
• Healing Items: First aid kits and energy drinks are lifesavers. Strive for 3-4 First Aid Kits, 5-6 Bandages, and a few energy drinks or painkillers.
• Grenades: A couple of frag grenades and one or two smoke grenades can be game-changers in a fight.

Staying Organized#

Keeping your inventory organized helps in the heat of battle. Arrange items by type and frequency of use:

• Weapons and Attachments: Keep your primary weapon in the first slot. Attachments should stay near their respective guns, so you can switch them quickly if you find an upgrade.
• Healing Supplies: Group healing items together. This way, when you’re in cover and urgently need to heal, you aren’t scrolling past grenades and ammo.
• Grenades and Miscellaneous: Typically, place grenades toward the bottom.

Discarding Excess Loot#

Don’t be afraid to drop items you don’t need:

• Extra Ammo: Shooting 5.56mm rounds, but have some 9mm in your inventory? Drop the 9mm. More space for things you actually need.
• Duplicate Attachments: No need for multiple red-dot sights once your guns are kitted. Drop extras to clear up space.
• Low-Level Gear: Upgraded to a Level 3 helmet? Sacrifice your old Level 1 helmet to the ground.

Adapting to the Situation#

Be flexible. The needs of your inventory change depending on where you are in the game:

• Early Game: Focus on gathering essentials. Pick up different types of ammo and weapons to see what you’re comfortable with.
• Mid Game: Start trimming the fat. Stick with one or two weapon types and discard any unnecessary attachments and ammo.
• Late Game: Streamline for combat readiness. Extra healing items and grenades become more valuable than carrying a third gun or excessive ammo.

Using Dead Enemy Loot#

When you kill an enemy, their loot is your opportunity to upgrade:

• Beware of Disturbing the Body Packing: Loot quickly and efficiently—other players might have heard the shots.
• Swap on the Move: If the looting spot is hot, grab the essentials and move to safety for detailed inventory sorting.
• Upgrade Gear: Always compare your current gear with what’s on the ground. Level 3 gear is always worth picking up if you’re still using Level 1 or 2.

Hotkeys and Shortcuts#

Using hotkeys can save you precious seconds in a firefight:

• Use Items Quickly: Bind healing items to accessible keys. This allows you to heal without opening the inventory.
• Fast Attachment Switch: Drag-and-drop attachments directly from the ground to your weapon slots for speed.

Final Tips#

• Keep It Balanced: You don’t need a backpack full of ammo if you’re running low on meds.
• Experiment: Find your comfort zone. Some players thrive with more throwables, while others prioritize high ammo counts.
• Stay Light: A full inventory slows you down, both literally and mentally. Keep it as light and efficient as possible.

With a well-managed inventory, you’ll be able to adapt to any situation and keep your edge in battlegrounds. Now get out there and make those headshots count!

Prioritizing Items#

Surviving in PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS isn’t just about aim; it’s also about what you choose to carry. Knowing how to prioritize your items can be the difference between a Chicken Dinner and a frustrating loss. Let’s break down the essentials.

1. Weapons and Ammo#

Primary Weapon (AR/DMR/Sniper): Start with a reliable Assault Rifle (AR) or Designated Marksman Rifle (DMR) like the M416 or SKS. These offer versatility for both medium and long-range combat.

Secondary Weapon (SMG/Shottie): A secondary weapon like an SMG (Uzi or Vector) or a shotgun (S686) is crucial for close quarters. These can save your life indoors and in tight spaces.

Ammo#

• 5.56mm/7.62mm: Common for ARs and DMRs; always stock up.
• 9mm/.45 ACP: For SMGs and certain pistols.
• 12 Gauge: For shotguns.

Pro Tip: Only carry enough ammo to handle several encounters. Bullets are heavy. For ARs/DMRs, about 150-200 rounds is a good start. For SMGs or shotguns, around 50-100 rounds should suffice.

2. Healing and Boosting Items#

First Aid Kits and Med Kits: First Aid Kits are your bread and butter for healing — aim to have at least 3-4 on you. Med Kits are better but rarer.

Bandages: Useful early game but can take up unnecessary space. Keep no more than 10.

Boosts (Energy Drinks/Painkillers): Boosts are critical for maintaining health over time. Carry at least a couple of each to stay topped up.

Pro Tip: If space allows, always carry a mix of healing items. They each serve different purposes and having a variety ensures you’re prepared for any situation.

3. Armor and Helmets#

Armor: Level 2 vests are your go-to until you find a level 3, which provides the best protection. Pay attention to the vest’s durability — sometimes a fresh level 2 is better than a damaged level 3.

Helmets: Headshots will end you quickly without one. A level 2 helmet offers solid protection, but always upgrade to a level 3 when found.

Pro Tip: Always prioritize undamaged gear over higher-tier but damaged items.

4. Attachments#

Sights and Scopes: Scopes are invaluable. A red dot or holographic sight for close to mid-range, and a 4x or 6x scope for long-range. Having multiple options lets you adapt to changing situations.

Grips and Stocks: These improve weapon handling — a vertical grip or angled foregrip can reduce recoil, while tactical stocks can stabilize your shots.

Muzzles (Compensators/Suppressors): Compensators reduce recoil significantly, while suppressors keep your shots quieter. Choose based on whether you want to stay concealed or handle recoil better.

Magazines: Extended magazines and quickdraw magazines make a huge difference. Always prioritize extended over quickdraw for increased capacity.

Pro Tip: Attachments can vastly improve your weapon’s performance. Always pick them up, even if it’s for future upgrades.

5. Grenades#

Frag Grenades: Perfect for flushing out campers or clearing rooms. Carry at least 2-3.

Smoke Grenades: Essential for creating cover or reviving teammates under fire. Always carry a couple.

Stun Grenades: Less crucial but can disorient enemies in tight spots. Not a priority but useful.

Molotov Cocktails: Great for area denial and flushing out enemies from cover.

Pro Tip: Grenades can turn the tide of a battle. Use them wisely and don’t overstock as they can be heavy.

6. Miscellaneous#

Backpacks: Always aim for a level 2 or higher. Prioritize picking up crucial items rather than hoarding everything.

Map and Zones: Along with looting, always keep an eye on the zone. Plan your looting around safe zones to avoid getting trapped by the blue.

Final Thoughts: Efficient looting is an art form in PUBG. Keep your priorities clear: weapons and ammo first, healing items second, armor, and finally, attachments and grenades. Remember, survival is about preparedness and adaptability. Happy hunting!

Using Backpacks and Vests#

When you’re dropped into the chaos of PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS, having enough space for all your loot is crucial. This is where backpacks and vests come into play. Let’s break down how these two pieces of gear can make a big difference in your survival and success.

Backpacks: Expanding Your Horizons#

Backpacks are all about giving you more room to carry stuff. There are three levels of backpacks, each offering more capacity than the last:

• Level 1 Backpack: Provides the least extra space but can be a lifesaver if you’re starting out. You can carry an extra 150 capacity, enough for a few more items.

• Level 2 Backpack: The sweet spot for most players. It provides 220 capacity, giving you a good balance between space and mobility.

• Level 3 Backpack: The holy grail of backpacks. With a whopping 270 capacity, you can carry an arsenal. The downside? Finding one is rare, so grab it if you see it!

When looting, prioritize upgrading your backpack as soon as possible. More room means more ammo, meds, and grenades – all of which can turn the tide of battle in your favor.

Vests: Armor and Storage#

Vests double up as armor and extra inventory slots. Like backpacks, vests come in three levels:

• Level 1 Vest: Offers basic protection and an extra 50 capacity for your inventory. Better than nothing when you find yourself in a pinch.

• Level 2 Vest: Provides more protection and 50 additional capacity. It’s pretty common, making it a reliable choice in most matches.

• Level 3 Vest: The tank of vests, this provides maximum protection and 50 extra capacity. It’s rare, but if you can find one, it can save your life in those final circles.

Remember, the primary role of a vest is to protect you. The inventory boost is a nice bonus but don’t rely solely on it for extra storage. Prioritize upgrading your vests as they also differ in their damage reduction. A Level 3 vest can absorb more damage before you start taking direct hits, which can be the difference between winning and losing a firefight.

Inventory Management Tips#

Having extra space is great, but how you use that space is equally important:

• Balance Your Load: Don’t just hoard one type of item. Make sure you have a good mix of ammo, healing items, and grenades.

• Keep Checking: Your needs will change throughout the game. At the start, focus on finding essentials. Later, you can refine your loadout based on what’s coming up, like final circles.

• Drop What You Don’t Need: If you find better weapons and gear, drop the old stuff. Holding onto outdated loot just takes up precious space.

• Be Mindful of Weight: Heavier items can fill up your inventory quicker. Think before you stockpile heavy stuff like 7.62 ammo or first aid kits.

Final Thoughts#

Using backpacks and vests smartly can give you an edge in PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS. They’re not just about carrying more loot; they’re about making sure you’re prepared for whatever the game throws at you. Upgrade them as you find better ones and keep your inventory balanced and ready for action. Good luck out there, and happy looting!

PUBG: Battlegrounds - Looting and Inventory#

Efficient Looting Techniques#

When you drop into PUBG, efficient looting can seriously make or break your game. Getting the best gear first sets you up for survival and success. But with so much to grab, how do you make sure you do it right? Let’s break it down!

Prioritize Essential Items#

1. Weapons: As soon as your feet touch the ground, your first goal should be to grab a weapon. Any weapon is better than no weapon. Pistols and SMGs can be lifesavers early on, but always look for rifles like the M416 or AKM as you loot.

2. Armor and Helmets: Next up, find some armor and a helmet. Even low-level gear provides crucial protection. You lose fights quickly without them.

3. Medkits and Bandages: You should also prioritize healing items. Don’t run around with an empty backpack. Grab bandages, first aid kits, and energy drinks whenever you see them.

4. Ammo: Make sure you grab the right ammo for your weapons. Having 300 rounds of 9mm doesn’t help if all you have is a rifle that takes 5.56mm. Match your ammunition to your guns carefully.

Plan Your Loot Path#

1. Avoid Hot Drops: Unless you’re confident in your combat skills, avoid dropping into areas where a ton of other players are landing. Places like Pochinki and School are popular and get picked clean fast. Instead, aim for slightly out-of-the-way places.

2. Quick Scans: Develop a rapid scanning routine for each building. Pop in, grab what’s important, and keep moving. Don’t sit and ponder every item; this wastes time.

3. Optimize Movement: Enter buildings from the high-traffic sides, clear rooms quickly, and check all possible loot spots methodically. Jump through windows where possible to shave off valuable seconds.

Inventory Management#

1. Backpack Management: A backpack is your best friend. Aim for Level 2 or 3 if you can find them. Always keep an eye on your inventory weight and make tough decisions on what to keep and drop if you hit the limit.

2. Attachments: Attachments like scopes, grips, and suppressors can give you a significant combat edge. Always prioritize these. However, don’t hoard attachments you don’t need. Keep only what fits your current weapons or what you realistically plan on using.

3. Drop Dead Weight: If you’re running out of space, prioritize what to drop. Ballistics masks and punk glasses aren’t going to save your life, but an extra medkit might. Always choose utility over aesthetics.

Work With Your Team#

1. Share The Wealth: Communicate with your team. If you find extra gear that you don’t need, let your teammates know. Sharing means a better-equipped squad overall.

2. Divide and Conquer: Split looting responsibilities. One player grabs medical supplies, another focuses on ammunition, while someone else looks for armor and scopes. This system can ensure all bases are covered without redundant looting.

3. Covering Each Other: While looting, there’s always a risk of running into enemy players. Work in pairs, with one player looting and the other providing cover.

Final Tips#

1. Stay Mobile: Don’t stick around a looted area for too long. Time is precious, and other players are always on the hunt.

2. Listen Up: Use sound cues. Footsteps and opening doors can reveal if another player is nearby. Stay alert and ready.

3. Use the Map: Regularly check your map for upcoming safe zones and adjust your looting path accordingly to avoid getting caught out of bounds.

By mastering these efficient looting techniques, you’ll find yourself better equipped and better prepared for the inevitable battles ahead. Now go out there and grab that chicken dinner! 🐔🍽️
