🕶️ How to Master Close-Range Fights in PUBG

Close-range combat is where reflexes, positioning, and loadout choices really shine in PUBG. Whether it’s clearing a building, rushing a squad, or surviving the final circle, mastering short-range fights can dramatically increase your Chicken Dinner rate. 🔫

Here’s a detailed guide to dominating close-range fights in PUBG.

🔹 1. Choose the Right Weapons

For short-distance engagements, weapon choice is crucial:

  • SMGs (UMP45, Vector, MP5K): Fast fire rate, easy recoil, ideal for buildings.

  • Shotguns (S12K, DBS): Deadly in tight rooms but slow reloads; use as a surprise weapon.

  • ARs (M416, M762): Versatile if paired with a red dot or holographic sight.

💡 Pro Tip: Always carry a backup SMG or shotgun if your main AR is mid-range.

🔹 2. Optimize Attachments & Loadout

  • Use holographic or red dot sights for quick target acquisition.

  • Equip vertical or angled grips to control recoil.

  • Carry medkits, energy drinks, and grenades for aggressive pushes or defensive plays.

⚡ Pro Tip: Quick reloads are life-saving — always carry extended mags for SMGs and ARs.

🔹 3. Master Movement & Positioning

  • Strafe while shooting: Makes you harder to hit.

  • Crouch/prone when necessary: Reduces exposure in tight corridors.

  • Use corners and doorways: Peek before entering a room to avoid surprise knockouts.

💡 Pro Tip: Jumping around or running in open spaces in close fights makes you an easy target.

🔹 4. Sound Awareness

  • Listen for footsteps, door openings, and weapon swaps.

  • Use headphones for directional audio to detect enemies in buildings or compounds.

  • Crouch to reduce your own noise when approaching enemies.

⚡ Pro Tip: Pre-fire if you hear an enemy nearby in tight spaces — short-range fights favor reaction time.

🔹 5. Grenade Usage

  • Frag grenades: Flush enemies out of rooms or behind cover.

  • Smoke grenades: Block sightlines for revives or repositioning.

  • Molotovs: Deny areas and force enemies into predictable positions.

💡 Pro Tip: In close-range fights, grenades can turn a defensive situation into a quick kill.

🔹 6. Squad Coordination

  • Push together in rooms or compounds — one player rushes while the other covers angles.

  • Use pings and callouts for enemy positions and movement.

  • Revive teammates only when it’s safe — don’t expose yourself unnecessarily.

⚡ Pro Tip: Rotating as a team reduces the chance of getting wiped in indoor fights.

🔹 7. Practice Reaction Time

  • Use training grounds to practice spray control and hip-fire accuracy.

  • Test different loadouts in Arcade mode for quick engagement practice.

  • Learn recoil patterns for ARs and SMGs — predictable sprays save bullets and time.

🏁 Final Words

Close-range fights in PUBG are fast, chaotic, and high-stakes. Mastering movement, weapon choice, sound awareness, and coordination makes the difference between getting knocked out and scoring a Chicken Dinner.

Remember: Aggression + control + timing = domination in tight spaces. 🕶️🔥
