PUBG Mobile Pro Tips: Best Strategies to Improve Aim, Movement & Win More Matches

Master PUBG Mobile with Expert Tips on Aiming, Movement, Looting, and Winning More Chicken Dinners

By Richard BaileyPublished 11 months ago 4 min read

PUBG Mobile remains one of the most competitive and engaging battle royale games, where survival, strategy, and skill determine who gets the coveted “Winner Winner Chicken Dinner.” Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced player looking to refine your gameplay, this guide will provide essential tips and tricks to help you dominate the battlefield.

1. Master the Basics: Controls, Sensitivity, and Layout

Before diving into advanced tactics, you must get comfortable with the game’s mechanics.

Adjust Your Controls

Use the custom layout feature to arrange buttons in a way that feels natural for you.

Consider using the four-finger claw or three-finger claw setup for better reaction time and movement control.

If you prefer thumb play, make sure your fire and aim buttons are positioned conveniently.

Adjust Sensitivity Settings

Sensitivity settings affect your aiming, recoil control, and movement precision. Here’s a general guide:

  • Camera Sensitivity (Free Look): Adjust it so that you can check surroundings quickly but not too fast to lose control.
  • ADS Sensitivity: Helps with aiming down sights; higher values allow for quicker target tracking.
  • Gyroscope Sensitivity: If you use gyroscope aiming, set this high for better recoil control.

Enable Peek anFired

Turning on the “Peek & Fire” feature allows you to lean left or right from cover, reducing the chance of being hit.

Pair this with Peek & Open Scope for better sniping and long-range fights.

Landing Strategy: Choosing the Right Drop Location

Your drop location determines how your early game will play out.

Hot Drops (High-Risk, High-Reward)

If you’re looking for intense fights and high-tier loot, land in high-traffic areas such as:

  • Erangel: Pochinki, Sosnovka Military Base, Georgopol
  • Miramar: Hacienda del Patrón, Pecado
  • Sanhok: Bootcamp, Paradise Resort
  • Livik: Midstein, Blomster

Safe Drops (Slow and Strategic Start)

For a more strategic and less chaotic start, land in remote locations with decent loot and fewer enemies:

  • Erangel: Mylta Power, Quarry
  • Miramar: El Azahar, Campo Militar
  • Sanhok: Cave, Docks
  • Livik: Gronhus, Holdhus

Mid-Tier Drops (Balanced Approach)

For a balanced approach with moderate loot and some early fights, drop in locations near hot zones but not directly inside them.

3. Looting Like a Pro

Looting efficiently ensures you have the best weapons and gear for survival.

Prioritize Essentials

When looting, your priority should be:

  • Weapons (ARs & SMGs are best for early fights)
  • Armor (Helmet & Vest)
  • Ammo
  • Medical Supplies
  • Grenades and Throwables
  • b. Best Weapons for Beginners
  • Close Range: UMP45, Vector, DBS
  • Mid-Range: M416, AKM, Beryl
  • Long Range: AWM, M24, Mini14

Always Pick Up Throwables

Smoke Grenades: Essential for reviving teammates or covering movement.

Frag Grenades: Great for clearing enemies hiding behind cover.

Molotov Cocktails: Useful for forcing enemies out of a position.

4. Mastering Combat: How to Win More Fights

Positioning is Key

  • Take high ground whenever possible—this gives you a better view of enemies.
  • Use cover effectively—always fight from behind trees, rocks, or buildings.
  • Avoid open fields—if you must cross, use smoke grenades or vehicles for cover.

Improve Your Aim and Recoil Control

  • Use the training mode to practice recoil control for different weapons.
  • Master the gyroscope if you want better recoil handling without using your thumb.
  • Use ADS properly—aiming down sights (ADS) increases accuracy.

Move While Shooting

  • Strafing (moving side to side) while shooting makes you harder to hit.
  • Crouch-shooting is helpful for reducing recoil.
  • Jump and shoot in close combat to throw off enemies' aim.

Play With Headphones On

  • Sound cues are crucial—footsteps, gunfire, and vehicle noises can give away enemy positions.
  • Use stereo or 3D audio to detect enemy movement direction.

5. Smart Rotations and Zone Awareness

Plan Your Rotations Early

  • If you drop far from the first safe zone, start moving early to avoid getting caught in the blue zone.
  • Use vehicles for fast rotations, but be careful—they make a lot of noise.
  • Avoid bridge camping unless necessary—this is a common strategy, and you might get trapped.

Positioning in the Final Circles

  • Play the edge of the zone to reduce threats from multiple directions.
  • Stay in cover and avoid unnecessary fights—third-partying (attacking weakened enemies) is key.
  • Use smokes and prone tactics in the final zone to avoid detection.

6. Team Play: Coordination and Communication

Communicate Effectively

  • Use voice chat or quick messages to coordinate with teammates.
  • Call out enemy positions using the compass direction (e.g., “Enemy at 330 degrees”).

Reviving Strategies

  • Always revive behind cover to avoid getting knocked again.
  • If the revive zone is dangerous, use smokes to create cover.
  • Prioritize reviving teammates over looting.

Play to Your Team’s Strengths

  • Designate roles: One sniper, one entry fragger, one support, etc.
  • Stick together but don’t clump up—this prevents getting wiped out by grenades.

7. Advanced Tips and Tricks

  • Jiggle Peeking (Left-Right Movement While Shooting)
  • Jiggle peeking makes you harder to hit while still being able to fire at enemies.
  • This is very effective in close-range battles.

Drop Shot & Crouch Shot

  • Drop shot: Go prone while shooting to make yourself a smaller target.
  • Crouch shot: Crouch while shooting to reduce recoil and improve accuracy.
  • Master Third-Person Perspective (TPP) Peeking
  • Use TPP to look around corners without exposing yourself.
  • If an enemy is peeking, pre-fire at their position before they step out.

8. Stay Calm and Play Smart

  • Don’t rush fights—always assess the situation first.
  • Learn from mistakes—watch your gameplay replays to improve.
  • Stay patient in final circles—sometimes, letting other teams fight first is the best strategy.

Improving at PUBG Mobile takes time, practice, and strategic thinking. By mastering controls, movement, positioning, and teamwork, you’ll gradually become a more skilled player. Keep refining your playstyle, learning from top players, and staying adaptable.

With these tips and tricks, you’re now better prepared to conquer the battlegrounds and secure more Chicken Dinners!

Are you ready to jump in and dominate? See you on the battlefield!
