The world of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds can be a truly overwhelming ordeal, especially when you’re in the thick of things and have no idea of what to do. Without a bulletproof gameplan much of your experience will most likely be in the lobby section of the game because you’ll be dying a lot. While dying in the game is certainly a part of the overall experience, dying too much due to careless practice or lack of pivotal information on the battlefield can result in you feeling a lack of motivation to want to continue. Let’s be honest, we all want to win at something whether it be at something as simple as a game of Solitaire, or even the more complex world of Chess. We know how taxing it can be to come into a game unaware of what to do, especially in PUBG where the action is always constant and there’s no room for consistent error.
CQC, otherwise known as Close Quarters Combat is a term ubiquitous within the shooting game genre and covers the type of combat which takes place in close range between you and the opponent, or opponents. In this article we’re going to look at a few CQC weapons that we feel will help you score early game kills and also help to develop more confidence for mid to late game. These of course are just a few of the weapons you’ll discover in PUBG, so we encourage you to test out the different tools to see just which one best suits you in each scenario you encounter!
The Shotgun category in PUBG is quite menacing and if you end up with any one of the Shotguns in this game, chances are you already have an early lead on the enemy. While any choice of Shotgun will carry you well past the 60 man mark there’s just one that will pretty much secure a kill once you learn to master it, and that’s the S686 otherwise known as the illustrious Double Barrell Shotgun. You’ve most likely seen this gun featured in blockbuster films and of course a plethora of shooters, and for good reason. The S686 is hands down the most powerful Shotgun in PUBG with a base damage of 25, and bullet speed of 375 making it also the fastest in the entire category. While it lacks in ammunition when compared to the other Shotguns it makes up in sheer destructive power, and with only 2 rounds locked in the chamber those shells are only aiming to kill.
When we mean speed this gun fires off those 2 rounds in quick succession, leaving your enemy little time to react especially in CQC where a lot of pressure is on. The power is more than enough to destroy a level 2 helmet and level 2 armor clean, and will most likely destroy anyone with level 3 gear as well on the second shell. Equip this gun with Bullet Loops and a Shotgun Choke and it’s pretty much lights out for anyone who stands face to face with the other end of the barrell. Did we also mention that this Shotgun can also kill at mid range? It’s rare for a Shotgun to pull off such a feat with such a spread but the S686 is a rare breed and if you practice well enough your enemy will be red kool aid in no time.
Similar to the Shotgun category there are quite a number of weapons to choose from, but none seem to surpass the effectiveness of the UMP9. This gun is very popular among PUBG elite and even those learning the game because the UMP9 is the quintessential SMG to run around with. It has exceptional firepower up close, can deal mid range damage, and if you’re a god with it this gun can be a mini sniper to clip enemies out in the open. It’s what we’d call a very ‘Beginner Friendly’ weapon (as you’ll read in our beginner’s weapon guide if you haven’t checked it out!) because it helps you to pretty much learn how to aim correctly, and it’s very easy to find in the massive open world of PUBG. Due to its versatility it can be used for just about any scenario you find yourself in, but in CQC this weapon is a force to be reckoned with.
Grab this weapon and let your enemies know who the real head honcho is because this gun will tear you up in close range combat. Its base damage is 35 making it the second highest in terms of damage, second only to the Tommy Gun. However, you combine that with the fastest initial bullet speed in its category (400) and you’ve found yourself a swiss cheese maker. Anyone on the opposing side of the UMP9 will need to find cover fast because once you have your aim set on the enemy, they won’t have very far to run. The UMP9 has 3 firing modes to choose from: Single, Burst and Auto, all with their own pros and cons depending on the situation. For starters just keep this gun on auto during CQC and you’ll be taking enemies out in no time. The UMP9 also has a nice assortment of slots (4) to choose from so you tack on a grip, magazines, muzzles and sights to make this gun even more threatening. The downside to this weapon is that while it can do just about everything it’s not necessarily masterful at one thing, but in this case it’s not really an issue if your opponent can’t deal with the insane amount of fire it dishes out.
While the R1895 is listed under the Pistol category in PUBG it’s actually a revolver, which takes the same ammunition as the AKM. For more details about the R1895 check out our
