PUBG: 5 Reasons Why It's The Best Battle Royale Game
3. The Variety
When the new COD
releases, Reddit is filled to the brim with questions such as “What’s the best
gun, What’s the best perk, What’s the best… and so on. Even Fortnite in all its
glory has a boring and uninspired gun system, with a fancy colour determining,
between a good and bad gun, but fundamentally not a good and bad player, not
truly.
PUBG players are spoilt for choice with all the guns in the game. Yet, there isn’t a definitive best gun, even the Care Package weapons are loved by some and despised by others, while fan favourites such as the M416 will always be a popular choice, the newly found balance within PUBG will be crucial to its comeback as the tactical shooter just gained a slightly greater level of complexity, do you risk a Sniper and AR, or take a SMG for those close range engagements. All are now viable options.
Critically the variety within the gun choice is one aspect of many that ensures this game feels new and fresh in your 15th hour or 1000th. Every fight, engagement, and outcome feel different, every decision you make matters, and you learn from it if you win or transform into a crate.
Fortnite is cursed by what once made it so unique and special: The building.
A stereotypical Fortnite encounter consists of shooting two or three aim assist fuelled bullets before a build battle that seems to equate to very little shooting and a lot of wasting the resources you spent the last 10 minutes farming. It is repetitive, and often there is no winner, only two losers. While no two battles remain the same on PUBG, there is only one type of battle on Fortnite.
