How to Shoot??Really I'm serious

[ritchi3]

I m literally a new PUBG player....I drop into a game,scrounge for items,pick em then I'm off to protect my butt from other players...
But often I encounter player that are just about 3-5m away ,I shoot with a AR or SMG but the bullet doesnt hit the player,same goes for when I'm at iron sight...
I have played other FPS too...and earned a good kill streak...but for some reason I cannot shoot in PUBG....any ideas?????

I do know there's recoil though

Are you aiming down sights or hip firing? First Person or Third Person?

It's a little different than CSGO, in CS you shoot and pull the sights down a bit and it stays there. In PUBG you shoot and continuously pull down the sight (mouse that is).
As for ranged gun fights you have to compensate the distance with either setting your sight zeroing accordingly, PGUp and PGDown keys (doesn't work for all sights though) or using your sight indications, you can watch some youtube videos for that.
Thats about it. Hope it helps.

apparently all you have to do is lean right or left while shooting and you can head shot the enemy through mountains or even walls. i swear i love leaning but it is so annoying to see people do it for some reason, especially in the open lol

A few things to keep in mind for shooting in PUBG.

First and foremost if you are getting into fights within the first 5 minutes of the round and not hitting anyone at close range that is mostly the PUBG servers fault. The PUBG servers where never designed to perform with max player count. Considering that after 5 minutes, of a 40 minute game, each match only has 30-50 players. They where built to handle late game play and not the mad rush that occurs at the start of every round. So the longer the game progresses the better the server will perform and thus it will have better hit detection. You can counter this slightly with having a Beast of a PC that runs PUBG at 100+ FPS steady. Supposedly the last major patch increased the overall tick rate of the servers, however they still bog down for the first few minutes of the match.

As for aiming, there is a factor a lot of folks don't take into account. PUBG has a HUGE penalty for firing while moving. If you are walking/running/Jumping 90% of your shots are going to miss. Even if you are Aiming Down the Sights. The only exception to this is Shotguns. They all have the same exact spread whether running/jumping/falling off a building/hip firing/aiming down sights. It's always best with a shotgun to keep moving and just put the target in the middle of the circle from hip fire. So if you find anything other than a shotgun you need to be standing/crouching for a moment before you fire.

Also some guns do not like full auto. Mainly the AK and SCAR-L perform a little oddly at full auto. (Just my experience with them) The AK has very nice handling if you are stationary and crouched. But I can never get the SCAR-L to shoot straight unless its on Semi-Auto.

And last you have to be very accurate with your fire. The PUBG player hitboxes are very exact. And the head hitbox is slightly smaller than the head of the character. If they are wearing a helmet it does not make the head hitbox larger. You can actually shoot the edges of a helmet and not get headshots or damage the helmet. Also never shoot either the backpack or a weapon when an enemy is sideways in profile. They have no hitboxes. So unless you are going to hit a body part on the other side of a backpack or a weapon, do not aim for them.

I know it sounds counter intuitive but my advice when aiming in PUBG is to slow down and aim.

Remember that all scopes are set to 100m, so if you are closer and aim for the Dot you wont hit since you are aiming higher than you have to.

In 3-5m you'd be shaking the enemy's hand lol. Try lowering your sensitivity and take your time to line up your shots if you can.

I have to agree that it's the game's problem, watching some multiple streamers playing pubg and they're shooting accurately.....and they died. All of us know this for a fact. Don't deny it. We just have to wait.
