Just snatched GrandMaster rank today, and i want to share some tips

GrandMaster stat for fireteam we usually do 2-3 man squad.

First of all i just want to say that im not that super pro player or anything, just sharing some thought and tips for you all, and ofc english is not my main language so i hope you do understand what im about to tell here. and now lets get to the point here

• Weapon choice: im only stating Assault Rifle, SMG, and SG of my choice since im not a Sniper player (this is recommended weapon at least from my perspective)

AN19/M14EBR: those 2 weapon have a same stat, and have a good accuracy for med-long distance engagement, but slightly bad for close combat if you cant tap properly, since they have no auto mode

AKM: slightly higher damage than all rifle, but comes with higher recoil (using single mode is recommended far range combat and if you dont have extension, and auto mode in close range battle. Note: single mode in close range is pretty good if you're used to tapping and aiming for head shot)

M4A1: a preferable choice if you have all the weapon extension (using single mode is recommended far range combat and if you dont have extension, and auto mode in close range battle. Note: single mode in close range is pretty good if you're used to tapping and aiming for head shot)

1887/WRO: those 2 are the best shotgun in-game right now highest output damage and best accuracy, but using WRO is not really recommended if you dont have the shotgun cartridge extension that will increase your bullet count into 2. having a shotgun as your secondary weapon is a good thing as in if you got close range engagement and you're raiding some houses

Thompson/P90: a prefferable weapon if you cant find a good shotgun and their extension. Highest magazine size and good firerate

MP5: highest SMG accuracy with all the extension combined, also the only SMG that can use x4 Scope.

PPBizon/Vector: fastest SMG firerate but have a very low magazine size, not recommended if you dont have the EX-mag extension

• Weapon Muzzle

Compensator: highly recommended to use, reduce recoil

Silencer: recommended for newer player or lower bracket, not detected in indicator (if theres any matchmaking bracket) since most of more experienced player can detect from the sound

Flash Hider: highly recommended in night/fog weather, also recommended in normal/evening weather if you are confident in your aim, but silencer is better in normal/evening if you're not using compensator

• Drop zone: One of the most crucial factor in-game

if you're playing solo getting a 2 floors house with canopy, blue paint, and garage is more preferrable in solo rather than the 4 floors building.

if you're playing duo/squad/fireteam 4 floors building is recommended as in you need more loot for you and your team. try not to stay in 4th floors if theres a higher ground, 3rd floor is the better option for scouting and taking fight.

if you are new or doesnt have confident to take fight, do not go to a place with a lot of people, like: Echo Valley, Biiterlake, Traffic Hub, Hero Ridge, Area 42, City of Gold, etc. just drop in some one or two floor house in the edge of the map

• Vehicle

Tuk-tuk/Three Wheeler: highest power in terms of climbing high ground terrain, also a you can hide inside without any notice and get some information of enemy passing by or kill them. (not recommended to hide inside if you're in top 10 or so, since your opponent mostly will shot it)

red jeep: tankiest vehicle with a very small window to get shot at

glider: fastest travel speed, very low durability

bicycle: no movement indicator

• General gameplay

try not to stay in the middle of safe zone, but if you got a house and you're confident to defend it, then it is fine.

do not panic and there no need to rush to the safezone if you are in the first two blue zone, it only dealt very low damage, use energy drink and you can fight inside the first two blue zone or flanking other player.

use lean function, it is a very important in this game, especially if you're behind a tree or any corner, and not every wall is solid in this game and you can advantage of the camera movement. for example in this PICTURE ,PICTURE1 or this non-solid right wall or this angle PICTURE2

use some "game feature" and ALT function like hiding in bush or underwater crouch with no limit but a reminder that you can only do that underwater crouch only in fearless because of the terrain level. also in some case if you're using scope some building isnt rendered and you can see if theres any enemy there.

taking plane supply, mostly not recommended since you will get a lot of fight there, unless you're confident on taking those fight.

if you're in a place with a lot of people, do not loot item immedately after you kill someone, mostly they already lock your position

if you're seeing two people taking fight, do not shoot any of them until one of them looting the one who dies first.

never stand still while you're looting in open area.

do not hold bandage more than 20, since it took a lot of inventory space, and try to throw all your bandage if you have a lot of med-kit because in top-10 scenario you will likely you med-kit in a fight.

use ALT and see around while you're running

when you're camping in a house or behind a wall do not get close to the wall since they can see your weapon muzzle or they can even shoot your hand if it seen though the wall

In case you're raiding houses but you're not sure if any of them camps you and you do not have shotgun or confident to take a blind fight, throw a granade/molotov and see if theres any damage number.

in case you're getting shot and run, try to run and jump zig-zag, once right, twice left, twice right, once left, thrice right, one left, etc. this is also important if you're playing a fireteam and you're acting as a bait (since im the one who usually baiting and dodging shot in my team)

In case theres 3 player left (including you), try not to take any shot if you're spotting an opponent, unless they also see you, get more information of the other player, it will be better if those 2 are fighting first.

In case you're in top 5 and you have a lot of med-kit/first aid, try to stay at blue zone and keep healing and move very slow until you low of med-kit/first aid.

In case you spotted another player in same building as you from the step/indicator, and you're assuming they also know you're there, just be patient and hold angle and do not run even you're in the blue zone, unless its a late game blue zone that deals lot of dps. just try to hold if you got good amount of heal item, if not bait with a smoke grenade or just rush them to fight since its either you die from blue zone or you kill them and run.

In case you're camping in a house and holding angle. put some bait like Sniper Rifle, Med-Kit, Rifle Ammo, etc. and you can kill them while they're losing focus to the loot.

In case you're camping, never camp behind a closed door since most of more experience player will use lean function and camera movement for their advantage, especially if theres a window or non-solid wall or they will open the door and not directly going through you

In case you're in 1 on 1 close range fight, jump right and left while shooting, since the accuracy of jumping, moving, and standing still is the same.

In case you're in a close range fight between vehicle as a separator, try to dodge them first since most of the bullet will hit the vehicle not you, and then re-engage. Be careful because theres a possibilty they have a QuickDraw extension

you cant shoot though fence.

• Fighting hackers (honestly, 70% of my game is killed by hacker)

theres more hacker in solo than duo/squad/fireteam

theres more hacker in ghillie than fearless, since you need to download fearless.

the only beatable hacker since i kill and get killed by a lot of hacker in my way to GrandMaster and im starting to get use to their behavior (at least for me is, wallhack, high jump, instant building jump is beatable) but mostly you will die, especially in top-10 scenario open area.

train your aim since most of hackers cant aim properly

use your hearing and hold some angle with shotgun like this in that scenario you can see a wall hacker will run straight towards you with 1887 you can see the indicator or step if they are crouch moving. remember do not close the door since you wont get any vision of them, and they can bait you by close/re-open the door.

in case of this scenario i killed this particular insta-bulding jump hacker. that you are on 2 floors house, open all door except that door that i mark, since 100% of the instant-building jump hacker will go there and you can absolutely saw the indicator movement and hear the sound, and the door sound that they just opened, just be prepared to take a fight, shotgun is highly recommended.

In case of this scenario you're on 4 floors bulding, and hiding in 3rd floor or 4th floor and you hear some fishy movement it mostly a insta-jump building hack and mostly either they stuck, jump in front of you or, mostly they jump to the place that i've mark, so be prepared

If you got bombarded with a grenade or molotov or any throwable weapon mostly is a hacker, so be prepared to take a sudden fight.

In case of backstab blink hack, just try your luck if you got a sudden reflect.

Note: probaly will do some edit if i remember anything i want to say more
