PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS Wiki
Position, third-parties, and circle math beat hot drops
KRAFTON, Inc.
Featured setups
Drops, compounds, edge rotates, and third-parties — not a School montage.
Erangel · Plane + first 3 minutes
Mid-Tier Drop
Pick a named town that is not the plane's favorite. Loot a kit, grab a car, then play the game.
Best for: Players who only know School and then die with a pan
Erangel · Until the next circle forces a move
Compound Hold
Windows, stairs, and utility. One player on the staircase is worth more than four people staring at one door.
Best for: Squads that all watch the same field and die to stairs
Miramar · Each circle after first loot
Edge Rotate
Play the edge of zone with a vehicle. Third-party people running from blue. Do not walk a field in the last two minutes.
Best for: Center campers who die in blue with eight kills
Start with these roles
Utility and a driver first. IGL last.
Support
Utility, heals, and loot
The best first squad job. You carry the throws, you smoke the revive, and you do not loot the open after a win.
Driver
Rotations and the car
You are why the squad is not 30th in blue. Park smart, rotate on time, and stop treating the car as a turret on a hill.
Entry
First contact in the compound
You take the first doorway so the squad can trade. Dying alone in a bathroom while they watch a field is not entry.
Maps worth learning first
Erangel and Miramar before the fast maps.
Erangel
The classroom: compounds, a readable circle, and drops that are not School every game.
Miramar
Desert sightlines, vehicles as life, and a map that punishes walking the open.
Sanhok
Jungle, shorter games, and fights that start before your inventory is finished.
Vikendi
Snow tracks, audio, and a map that tells on you if you sprint everywhere.
Guides
Beginner path, loot, circles, compounds, vehicles, and FPP/TPP.
