2. Pick up high damage weapons
Landing on a hot drop generally means that you have to engage in close range combats. Hot drops like Pochinki in Erangel or Bootcamp in Sanhok are tightly packed with compartments or houses so you’ve to focus on picking up weapons with high damage. While picking up an AR weapon should be your priority, don’t hesitate while picking up shotguns. Shotguns like S12K render a heavy damage and if you move quickly, shotguns can wipe a whole squad in a close combat.
3. Don’t rush unnecessarily
Even if you find a considerable amount of loot, don’t rush blindly. Know the location of the enemy while shooting from the cover like behind a wall or a window. As several players might be camping in the compartments or houses, they can easily defeat you if you’re running in an open area. If you spot an enemy hiding in the building that’s right in front of you. You can flank and defeat the enemy easily.
4. Remember to pick up throwables
Ask any skilled player and they’ll always advice you to pick up the throwables like frag grenades, molotov cocktail etc. Using them tactfully can prove to be a huge advantage for you. Often it is difficult to defeat a whole squad even if everyone in your team rushes at the same time. These throwables will then act as a lifesaver for you. Hold the grenade for 3 seconds and then throw it towards the enemy’s location. If the grenade knocks out at least 1 enemy, go ahead with your team and defeat the whole squad.
5. Don’t let your guard down
It is very crucial to stay alert in a hotdrop as the enemy might surprise you abruptly. We recommend the players to always use an earphone while playing as they’re extremely helpful in knowing the enemy’s location. Keep track of the enemy’s footsteps from the mini map and also listen to their footsteps carefully. Improving your listening ability will increae your chances of survival the hotdrop.
