5 Reasons Why PUBG Is The Definitive Battle Royale Game 5 Why It s Fortnite

Fortnite and Playerunknown's Battlegrounds are massively popular online multiplayer battle royale video games. Let's find out which one is the best. (PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds) and are two of the hottest video games in the world of any genre. From the time they launched, these two video games have each attracted millions of players, helped to create the careers of numerous streamers and have spawned . They are, without a doubt, two of the most popular games of this generation. The two games are quite similar. They are both in the battle royale genre, where players are flown to a remote island where they fight each other to the last gamer standing. They have also introduced other modes that are more Team Deathmatch than battle royale. That said, everyone has a preference between the two. Even though they are both fun games that players can sink countless hours into, there are subtle differences between the two that make them stand out from each other. So, it’s about time that we take a look at them and let you decide which is the definitive Battle Royale game. THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY

PUBG Realism

As fun as both games are, there is one fundamental difference between them: cares a lot about realism while Fortnite doesn’t pay much attention to it. In PUBG, the outfits are grounded, the weapons are realistic, and the physics try their best to feel real. Fortnite, however, lets players build walls out of thin air then demolish them with a pickaxe. The characters are excessively colorful, the weapons are sometimes silly—and pretty colorful too—and the developers didn’t pay too much attention to physics. PUBG is the game for players who prefer military shooters with a heavy dose of realism. For them, that keeps the game tense and immersive.

Fortnite It s Free-To-Play

Both Fortnite and PUBG have millions of players. However, PUBG charges players $30 just to buy the game, and still offers microtransactions like loot boxes. For gamers who want to enjoy a battle royale game but don’t have deep pockets, PUBG is not even worth considering; Fortnite is the obvious answer. Fortnite is a free-to-play game, and even though it has its fair share of microtransactions, it’s not a pay-to-win game. No major content is locked behind paywalls, and players have been able to go pro without spending a dollar on microtransactions. Fortnite is clearly the best game for budget-conscious players.

PUBG Larger Maps

Fortnite has a smaller map, which should make it more intense. However, that honor goes to PUBG, whose maps are nearly twice as large as Fortnite’s. As a result, matches in PUBG last longer than the ones in Fortnite. But that doesn’t mean they are boring. PUBG gives players tools to hide, so it’s not uncommon for a player to traverse slowly only to get taken out by a sniper or try to get across the map faster by driving an attention-drawing Jeep. PUBG’s map size makes its matches tenser and, as a result, more immersive than Fortnite.

Fortnite Fewer Cheaters

In offline games where someone plays solo, cheating can make the game a lot more fun. But in multiplayer games, especially online, cheating can be a game-ruining experience for most gamers. That’s why it’s astounding how PUBG has so many cheaters. The developers have refused to region-lock the game, so it’s had cheaters since the beginning, and the problem has only gotten worse with time. These cheaters make the game a lot less fun, and frustrated gamers tend to go to Fortnite. The developers have made it harder for players to cheat and offer harsher punishments for those found cheating.

PUBG Better Shooting

The weapons in Fortnite are designed to look and feel playful. However, the ones in PUBG are realistic in both looks and feel. When the player shoots a gun in PUBG, they have to take into account the gun-specific recoil and how much they should adjust their gun after taking each shot. Since missing a shot might alert an opponent and make them hide or flee, one has to make each shot count. Reloading speed is also a factor that depends on the type of gun one has. Together, all of these factors make PUBG a better and more realistic shooter.

Fortnite New Content

Both PUBG and Fortnite get updates. But with Fortnite, the updates are plenty. The game constantly gets new game modes and content, like a 20 vs 20 mode that makes five teams of 20 players each go up against each other. Fortnite also adds new skins and dance moves constantly, so there is always something to entice players to go back to the game. The seasons also wrap up pretty fast compared to other esports games, and each new season brings its own challenges and features. In short, Fortnite is a game that is always evolving and getting better.

PUBG Better Loot

Fortnite might have flashier loot, but looting in is more complicated. Players encounter a wide variety of loot that they can use to customize their weapons however they wish. So, if they feel they need faster aiming or better recoil, they can easily get this with the right loot. PUBG is also rich with various weapons that make each match a joy. This can be something huge like a sniper rifle, or even something simple like a frying pan—which apparently one-hit-kills opponents. However gamers prefer to play, the loot in PUBG allows them to play how they like.

Fortnite Fans Have Influence

PUBG has something like a closed environment; the changes and updates they implement are often things they have already planned, and gamers rarely have any input. But this changes with Fortnite, which is what makes this game so popular. Epic Games loves to interact with fans, and they often get feedback from fans and use that to create content. They also let users know beforehand when they plan to release major updates—sometimes they can make a show out of it—so that players don’t open the launcher to find an unexpected update.

PUBG Better Vehicles

PUBG has massive maps, so vehicles are often necessary to cross the map faster. This would be good enough with one or two types of vehicle, but PUBG has several. The vehicles range from vans to motorbikes and even buggies. They are also realistic, in stark contrast to the vehicles in Fortnite—like the shopping cart, golf cart and hamster ball. The vehicles in PUBG also have minor boosts that allow them to go faster, which makes them handy if a player is trying to escape from a hostile area. Overall, PUBG’s vehicle are more than just fun to drive; they are realistic and helpful.

Fortnite Battle Pass is Great

Most games nowadays are monetized by loot boxes, where gamers pay actual cash for in-game items that aren’t guaranteed. It is a form of gambling, and it preys on young and vulnerable gamers. So, it’s a breath of fresh air to realize that Fortnite’s microtransaction system is the Battle Pass, which is basically a seasonal subscription. The rewards in Battle Pass are assured. Players level up from one tier to another, and no gambling is involved. The Battle Pass offers a clear roadmap of rewards, making gamers less likely to spend beyond their budget in the hopes of getting decent in-game items.
