Being a better shooter can help getting that chicken dinner easily.

PUBG Mobile is a recent addiction for the youth and even the adults prefer to play it in their leisure time. Everyone wants to get the “Winner winner chicken dinner,” which is difficult but not anymore. We have aligned a couple of pro tips and tricks that will help you to become a better shooter in the game.

Use a gamepad

PUBG Mobile becomes easier with a gamepad.

Usually, people feel comfortable playing on their phones but I suggest you use a gamepad as it allows you to play the game comfortably. This will specifically help you to aim and shoot the targets. Also, you can change the controls according to your needs in the gamepad which will also help you to focus better in the game. These gamepads are usually available on e-commerce websites like Amazon and Flipkart for around Rs. 500.

Aim assist

If you are a beginner or finding it difficult to aim and shoot, I would recommend you to turn on an option called “Aim Assist.” The option can be located in the game settings under the "Basic" menu. As the name suggests, aim assist will help you in shooting targets easily, even if you are slow at aiming.

Use attachments

There are various attachments in PUBG Mobile but a good player should always know, which attachments should be used in which gun for a better shooting experience. I would recommend using attachments like thumb grip, half grip, light grip, stack and others. There are different types of attachments available for different types of weapons. These attachments will provide better stability while shooting. Also, it will increase damage to the enemy.

Use scopes

In order to get a better vision at your target, it is always suggested to use a scope. These scopes range anywhere from 2x, 3x all the way up to 8x. Apart from the long range scopes, there are also red dot, holographic and others that can help you improve your aim. I would also recommend having two types of scopes, one for long range and one for short range gunfights.

Peek and shoot

Players should prefer to peek and fire.

Once you get better at aiming, one thing you need to realise is the risk you take when you are in the open. So, it is always recommended to peek and shoot so that you minimise the risk of getting shot. While peeking the player can easily scope the enemies and get back to the cover in a fraction of time easily. Peeking can be enabled in the game by heading over to Settings > Basic.

Tiny Royale is a new battle royale game to compete against PUBG and Fortnite.

Since the launch of PUBG Mobile, the craze for battle royale games has increased more than ever. While there are dozens of battle royale games on the Play Store already, Zynga has launched a new game called Tiny Royale on the recently launched Snap Games gaming platform.

As the name suggests, Tiny Royale will be lighter than games like PUBG Mobile, Fortnite and Call of Duty: Mobile. This will make it easier for people to download as well as play on some of the low-end smartphones. Also, the game uses a portrait style gameplay instead of the traditional landscape.

As for the gameplay, players can choose custom characters and play solo, duo or in a squad. Unlike PUBG and Fortnite, the matches on Tiny Royale are much faster as they last just for two minutes. However, just like the other games, the users will need to grab the supplies and be the last man or team standing to get a win.

In order to keep the match time short, the game only throws up to 30 people in the battleground. Players can go in a team of up to four people.
