Know the edition
This guide covers PC PUBG, not PUBG Mobile. The official 42.2 notice describes revamped onboarding; follow the current client for menus and reward deadlines.
Agree on a landing area
Editorial exercise: mark a shared destination and a fallback direction before dropping.
Know when to stop looting
Check squad position and the map before searching for another attachment.
Plan a rotation
Identify the next usable cover before crossing exposed terrain. A spotted opponent does not always require a fight.
Review a decision
Label a loss as landing, delayed movement, separation or route choice. Practice one change next match; no placement is guaranteed.
