Fortnite Vs. PUBG - Which Game Is Better?

3. Array Of Tactical Options

As you'll come to understand with PUBG, all of its best-executed aspects come to reinforce one another. The cold, harsh environment encourages tactical play; the scattering of weapons means you need to play to their individual strengths; that complex control scheme means you'll certainly not kill someone by pulling the pin on a grenade and elegantly lean-throwing it around a corner on your first round.

That said, this is where Fortnite's building mechanics come in, as this is the most obvious "tactical advantage" you can have over other players.

Say the storm is closing in, building a small fort to house yourself means you can funnel players into specific kill-spots - especially if you have an array of traps to put down. Even erecting a wall in the direction of incoming fire will shield you, and players have used this latter move to advance on far-away opponents to close distance and get a kill.

Complex buildings can backfire if the storm swallows you whole before you can get out, though it leads to brilliant final five showdowns where each player has their own Worms-style embattlement, firing grenades and rockets to and fro, hoping to hit home or at least destroy the foundations.

Overall, PUBG has more "to it". From playing the angles game around any outcrop of land to having a car chase across the map, Fortnite does ease-of-access and building VERY well, but it's nothing on a well-rounded game of PUBG.

Winner: PUBG
