Played a duo game with my buddy, got super looted in the first couple minutes, go to check the last house, completely unlooted on the bottom floor, go upstairs and theres a guy hiding around the corner with a shotgun...
So I really struggle strategically in the end game, with <15 people left. When I try to stick to the outer ring of the circle, I usually get shot at by several people waiting for people to enter the circle. If I manage to get towards the middle, I'm often in positions where I'm pretty out in the open, and I have to protect myself from all over the place. Obviously there are times where you can gain a field advantage based on hills, houses, etc., but not always.
I'm not at all a high-skill player, so winning may never happen. But any general tips/strategies people use when it comes down to the final ~15-20? I die most often in the 15-35 range.

I suggest watching different streamers. They'll usually tell you why they play the way they do. Disguised Toast has even been playing PUBG lately. He's terrible at the game and he's even won a few games. You'll win some eventually. There's still luck to play a factor. I consider myself a pretty good FPS player but have only won 2 games in 40 hours. Lately I've been trying less to win and more to just have fun and it seems to be working for me. Just try different playstyles. I feel like I personally play a lot better in an aggressive style, although it does leave me in more vulnerable positions.
Just won my first solo game today.
Pro-tip: go prone through grass, it's great cover. That absolutely helped me get the win.
Thanks, I enjoyed watching Summit play when he actually did a while back, and as a Hearthstone guy, I have watched Toast a little bit as well, but without paying close attention. I have five top-10s in about 60 games, but I feel like a sitting duck when it gets down that low. I'll try out some different tactics, I feel like I could certainly be more aggressive.
I am definitely loving this game, though. Can't wait for another map to come out too! I wonder how far down the road that is.
I'll have to try that too.
Just watch Grimm get 20 kills a game and then lose all motivation to login.
I started watching him the other night.
He's such a beast.
I think he gets more kills than I have career kills in every round.
Haven't won a game yet, but a bunch of top 10s and 5s. Used to try to jump to places where I didn't think anyone else would be at, but I've recently started jumping to cities and the schools just looking for confrontation. Some of my games only last like a minute because of it, but if I can win the battles I'm pretty much fully looted and prepared for the end game. I usually just grab a vehicle and try to find a nice spot in the middle of the zone. It's working better, but I still haven't won one.
One thing you could try that's seemed to work better for me so far is to stick to the outside of the playzone, getting inside the white and hiding, and then waiting for people to come in to ambush them. That way you aren't getting fired on from 360 degrees and you can be the one to sneak up behind people too.
Obviously everyone has their own strategy and is good at different styles of play, but that's at least something that worked for me.
Got 2nd for the first time last week. 0 kills. Hey, whatever works.
My friend keeps harassing me to get this game. It looks so bad by the videos that I'm watching, what am I missing here?
