PUBG Rotations and Circle Play

When to hold a compound, when to move, and how not to die to the zone with eight kills.

Edge vs center

Edge lets you third-party people running from blue. Center is for squads that can win a compound hold. Pick one per drop. Doing both badly is how you get caught in a field.

Leave early

Rotating through open fields in the last two minutes of a circle is the classic throw. Leave early or take a compound on the next white. 'One more crate' is a 50/50 on a bridge.

Vehicle discipline

Park behind cover, not on the ridge silhouette. Ditch the car before final circles unless you are using it as a moving wall. Engine off on a hold. A running car is a ping.

Compounds

Windows, stairs, and utility. One player holding a staircase is worth more than four people all watching the same field. Clear first, then hold.

Third parties

Move on the sound of a fight that is already committed. Arriving 10 seconds late is free loot; arriving 10 seconds early is a 3-team mess.
