PUBG Gameplay

PUBG is a battle royal game where you can team up with friends or play solo. You land on a deserted island along with other players. Upon landing, you need to check the abandoned houses, roadsides, bridges, and other infrastructures for picking up supplies like medical kits, energy drinks, ammunition, guns, fuel, and throwables (grenade, smoke grenade, flash bang, and more).

Then you need to strategies how you and your team will use the resources you got to keep surviving till the end and eliminate your enemies in the game. The team that survives all the killing and the blue zone is declared the winner and wins a chicken dinner!!
