New Make sure you are running the most optimal settings for your rig. Generally, most people play with a mix of high and low settings to maximise performance. I cannot suggest the best settings for you, you will need to test them yourselves but I must suggest view distance be on ultra. This will force the game to load in all the assets at the start leading to a much smoother game when travelling into new area’s. With higher settings comes a higher requirement of RAM, to play this game on Ultra, I would suggest 16GM RAM for a smooth game.
SOLO PLAY
THE DROP
Choosing your location to drop plays a huge part in your ability to get geared early on and survive longer than the top 50. Depending on your playstyle you may want to go all guns blazing or perhaps play it safe and keep away from the action. Whatever you do, decide on a location with transportation and buildings.
Pay attention to the plane's path, this allows you to gauge which towns may or may not have been populated. For instance, the plane was down south from east to west, this means it is unlikely anyone will have landed up north, they would need to drive in order to get there, first come first served.
Enemy players dropping, keep an eye on where you see parachutes open, you’ll know which direction to expect company or to avoid when moving on.
DIVING STRAIGHT DOWN GIVES YOU A SPEED ADVANTAGE ONCE THE CHUTE OPENS
THE CIRCLE
The circle is no longer your friend, it is the enemy's friend. Rarely will you find yourself blessed by the circle so always watch that timer and be prepared to move at a moment's notice. Having transport will allow you to leave at the last moment, although it is loud, it’s quick. So, if you are on foot leave enough time to run, otherwise the circle will punish you for being too slow.
Are you a chaser or a camper? Chasers tend to ride the zone in, this means they only have enemies in front, mostly, but run the risk of being caught out by the circle or in a gunfight as the circle closes in around them. Campers will find the middle of the circle and keep moving to save locations within the circle. This may mean you avoid contact with players until the final moments of the game however, you could have enemies from all directions. Either way you will need to pay attention to the sounds around you, these indicate where the remaining players are, you can either engage to finish them off or avoid very skillfully.
LOOTING
Looting is the grind, find that gear, keep your eyes peeled and noise to a minimum. Keep doors to buildings closed behind you, move systematically between buildings making sure you do not miss a room. Loot spawns randomly to some degree, you may think of ignoring that shed out back, it only ever has rubbish in it, you just missed a LVL 3 vest. When looting quickly learn to tab loot. It is much much faster to drag and drop into your inventory than to press F on every item on the floor, especially if you are after 1 item amongst 7 other items. When dropping with multiple enemies, on roof of school or military buildings, the fastest looter will generally win.
GEAR
Whilst it is easy to say you should X and Y to win, you may never find X and Y whilst you are looting. Always make sure you have a combination of guns, long distance and close range. If you find yourself in the position with two AK’s for instance, make sure one is on autofire with a red dot and the other on single fire with a 4x.
You will require meds, meds of any kind! Never ignore meds thinking the god will bless you later for a full medpack and first aids, it may not happen. Always pick up bandages for the small wounds, no need to waste a first aid on 30% of your health when 2-3 bandages will suffice.
Pan, pan is life, find a pan, equip a pan, love the pan.
Armor, always strive for the highest tier possible. Armor is the difference between insta death and winning.
Clothing, avoid the puffer jackets and coats, early game these seem like fun to wear, so cool, so casual. No, you will find you are spotted a lot easier even if the puffer said "camo".
CHOSE WHEN YOU JUMP CAREFULLY, IT WILL SET YOU UP FOR THE REST OF THE GAME
AIRDROPS
Early on, airdrops will allow you to quickly gain the upper hand, if you took note of the plane's path I indicated earlier you will know whether or not you could be the first in and out. With loot drops, vehicles at the start are important. Airdrops can contain the best sniper rifles and even ghillie suits. Get both and you could potentially win the match hiding in a bush.
Try to avoid airdrops in the smaller circles, eyes will be on them and you will likely be killed trying to loot, worth the risk if you are not doing very well to begin with. Think about your positioning in relation to the box as well, those watching may just happen to spot you, you may also spot them first.
GETTING SHOT
Nobody likes being shot, hopefully, by this point you are equipped enough to survive one or two shots extra than normal, you wi
