Retro Clothing's Back in Style in PUBG

Aside from the new map that's in the works, two new cosmetic crates are being introduced to PUBG. Specifically, players will be getting the Fever crate and the Militia crate. While the Militia crate contains more edge for your avatar, the Fever crate contains more fashionable clothes.

Tear Up the Battlegrounds with Style

The Fever crate contains many clothing choices that will remind players of the 70s and 80s. Dance your way through your opponents and the maps with these rockin' threads. Mix and match the different clothing the crate contains, from turtlenecks and jackets to scarves and gloves. Here's a full list, if you're interested.

Wreak Havoc with the Militia Crate

On the other hand, the Militia crate brings out the badass in you with its rebellious theme. They even drop the ‘Erangel resistance force outfit' and the ‘Miramar frontiersman outfit'. What's even better, this crate can be obtained free of charge by spending BP. Here's a list of the possible PUBG fashion items you can get.

• ·         Gray Tank Top
• ·         Red or White Raglan T-shirt
• ·         Pink Polo Shirt
• ·         Vintage Polo Shirt
• ·         Gray Military Shirt
• ·         Black Military Trousers
• ·         Black Long-Sleeved Turtleneck
• ·         Brown Utility Belt
• ·         Red Camo Tank Top
• ·         Black Military Boots
• ·         Battle Belt

• ·         Leather Bootcut Pants
• ·         Black Military Jacket
• ·         Black Military Cap
• ·         Brown Cowboy Hat
• ·         Faux Leather Jacket
• ·         White Cowboy Hat
• ·         Black Military Skirt

Get Those Wardrobes Updated

The time to save up and spend BP (or money) is now. Get these crates and outfits before they get pulled out of circulation. Granted, they've just been added and it'll still be a long time, but don't wait too long. These crates also add a touch of color to PUBG's rather drab fashion lineup, though that might be a disadvantage for those who prefer sneaking around.

The brighter colors might be more noticeable in certain environments, which is bad when you usually don't want others to notice you. However, it's totally okay if that's the purpose you were aiming for. At any rate, go and dominate the battlegrounds with a style only you can pull off.

Enjoy PUBG!

To Keep or Not To Keep: Understanding the Basic Items in PUBG

Looting is a fine art.

It’s a fine art that you have to master if you want to be the last person standing in a game like PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS. To be proficient at looting, you’ll need near-psychic skills akin to Nostradamus to figure out which items are worth the trouble of keeping on your character. Fortunately, we’re here to break down the essentials and help you figure out which PUBG items you should be keeping, and which ones you can afford to go without.

Put your thinking cap on and pay close attention because today we’re going to run through all the important items in PUBG.

Storage

Let’s start things off with storage since this item type dictates how much you can carry. Vests (50 capacity); utility belts (50 capacity); and backpacks(150, 200, and 250 capacity) are as essential to survival as the items they hold. Contrary to what you may have heard, high-level vests do not offer extra carrying capacity over lower-level ones. Many players also tend to unequip their utility belts in their player menu. Backpacks are where it gets tricky. High-level backpacks do give more carrying capacity than lower tiers. However, their sheer size can also cause you to be easily spotted by enemies—a tight predicament if you’re into the covert style of play. Depending on your approach to the game, you may or may not want to level up your backpacks.

Armor

You need more than just a good firearm if you’re to survive wave after wave of gunfights. This is where good armor comes in. Vests and helmets can give you the leverage to outlast others—especially in surprise encounters. Level 1 vests have a durability of 200 and can provide you 30% damage reduction. With level 2 vests, durability goes up to 220 while damage reduction increases to 40%. Lastly, level 3 vests come with 55% damage reduction with a durability of 250.

With helmets, we’ll skip right to the most important point which is that level 3 helmets can give you enough protection to withstand a barrage. In fact, the AWN is the only firearm with enough power to knock you out with a single headshot while you’re wearing a level 3 helmet.

Here’s one that’s definitely worth keeping: the frying pan. Laugh if you will, but the iconic pub frying pan will save your butt sooner or later. In fact, you can even use it to deliver strikes of utter ignominy to send an unwitting opponent to an early grave. There’s no bigger insult, after all, than to have been done in with kitchenware.

 Consumables

Here comes the fun part; the consumables. Let’s take an item by item approach.

Adrenaline Syringe –With an instant boost of 100 adrenaline, there’s no reason to throw this item aside. While there's the issue of an 8-second casting time, you can negate that by using it when you’re well covered.

Pain Killer – With a boost of only 60 health, you might want to think twice about this item. That being said, every bit helps—especially if you’re in a tight situation (e.g. surrounded by enemies). If there’s ample room in your storage, take it. If not, you can probably live without it.

Energy Drink – Need an instant buzz? The energy drink can give you a boost of 40 health. Just like the painkiller, it’s not a necessity but every little bit can help in a scrimmage to be the last player standing.

First Aid Kit – This item provides an instant healing surge. The downside is that you can only use this when your overall health is lower than 75.

Med Kit – Utterly essential, make room for this in your storage. Med Kits can instantly heal you to full strength.

Gas Can – This really depends on your strategy. If you’re the type of player who steers clear of vehicles, why bother? If you do intend to use it, however, note that it comes with a 3-second cast time.

An understanding of the basic items in PUBG can give you the knowledge to know which ones are worth keeping and which ones are not. A lot of times, this understanding is the difference between winning and losing. Having the right items can give you the confidence to launch headlong into seemingly impossible firefights. When you have the right items in your backpack, you effectively boost your chances of coming through unscathed. Remember the points we’ve raised and you’ll increase your chances of getting that ever-elusive chicken dinner.
