PUBG Basics – Get to Know the Game
The game is the brain child of ex- DayZ and Arma devs and takes a realistic approach with actual guns and attachments, vehicles, player movements and physics.
The game starts with 100 players in an airplane over a massive 8×8 KM map called Erangel. There has since been 3 more maps added; Miramar, Sanhok and Vikendi.

There’s no right or wrong way to play PUBG, which helps appeal to a mass audience.
