Fortnite Vs. PUBG - Which Game Is Better?

9. Feel Of Shooting/Weapons

Onto shooting, and even Epic themselves have admitted they didn't nail the feel of shooting in Fortnite. Being the game was never built to handle these pixel-precise showdowns of headshots and long-distance kills (Fortnite was about surviving zombie hordes and crafting first), they're now carrying out multiple "Shooting Tests" in limited time windows, all to really scrutinise things like first shot damage, recoil and bullet drop.

What will emerge on the other end should hopefully remedy the problem, as right now, shooting in Fortnite does come with a nice sense of impact and the weapons do feel varied, it just needs a certain weight behind movement to be truly reliable.

PUBG on the other hand, is as militaristic and precise as they come. In theory (when the frame rate is strong and lag is eliminated), you can dodge a bullet by a millimetre, alongside killing someone with a rifle from across the world, providing you accounted for the drop.

Battlegrounds' weapons handle with all the clicks and clacks of their real-world counterparts; a true testament to creator Brendan Greene's own love of firearms. Fortnite-first players have lamented the more "stripped down" feel of firing a gun in PUBG, but that base simplicity forces you to really analyse your pickups - a sensation that only reinforces how immaculately all those weapons handle.

Winner: PUBG
