Land with a plan
Pick drops that match your goal: busy locations for action and gear, quieter spots for a calm early game and points. Know the popular routes so you can either avoid traffic or set up to punish it.
Beat the circle, do not chase it
Rotate early so you enter the next zone from a strong angle with cover, instead of sprinting across the open while everyone shoots you. In the final circles, hold an edge or high ground and make enemies come to you.
Quick tips
- Watch the timing: vehicles save you when the zone is far, but they are loud.
- Use cover to cover: never cross open ground you do not have to.
- Sound is information; play with audio and react to footsteps and shots.
- In the last zones, patience usually beats aggression for placement points.
