Tips on how to effectively eliminate opponents in melee combat
Introduction
After landing from the plane, you are left in the middle of the map in what your mother gave birth to. However, not for long. But this does not mean that even this short period you are defenseless. After all, you have a natural weapon – fists! With their help, our distant ancestors proved their superiority over wild animals, and even homosexual opponents could knock on the top of the head.
Many consider fists to be the default and weak weapon. Therefore, having landed, the players simply scatter in different directions and start frantically looking for a firearm. Although it is more logical to reduce the number of people who have landed nearby by simple manipulations with their faces. This is what we’ll talk about today – hand-to-hand combat in all variations, what beginners need to know and how not to get punches at the very beginning of the battle (it’s so humiliating!). I do not promise to make Tysons out of you, and this is not required – the main thing is to stand up for yourself.
The whole point in one picture

The peak of the scuffle in Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds occurs at the beginning of the match, when half-naked players fall from the sky on an industrial scale. Especially vivid brawls flare up in popular places with rich loot, as well as on narrow spots. For example – on the roofs. So, what rules do you need to follow to emerge victorious from such fights?
- Aggressiveness. Do not show uncertainty in the face of the enemy, attack him without delay. Purely psychologically, this will already give moral superiority. Not everyone is ready or able to fight, which means that a furious pressure will lead to their convulsive throwing and mistakes. In close combat, this is critical.
- Bursting. Hit the enemy either from a running start or in a jump. In the first case, you will inflict maximum damage, in the second – all blows will fall on the head. And this is the most vulnerable point. In addition, the reciprocal plops will fall on the legs, that is, the exchange is profitable. It is best to combine these two techniques into one.
- Mobility. Don’t clinch your opponent. A dumb exchange of blows is not our choice! Any movement in PUBG is subject to inertia. If you see the enemy swinging, jump back and counterattack in between. Dance a carousel around him, let his head spin. Your movements should be unpredictable.
- The third is superfluous. When more than two fighters collide in the arena, it is better not to get into this batch – you will shoot from both sides. It is better to wait on the sidelines, when the winner is determined, to finish off the loser with a sudden blow, and then get along with the finalist. You will have a handicap, as the opponent is not in the best shape after the previous fight.
This is very bad music!
- Retrade. When the outcome of a boxing match is not in your favor and there is only one blow to your health, the best outcome is to run wherever you look! It is clear that they should look in the direction of the loot, where you can equalize the chances with a firearm and first aid kits. If you are being chased, use your parkour skills and confuse footprints in the maze of buildings. The main thing is to come off. It’s a shame, of course, but it’s more important to survive in this game.
- Pursue or not? It happens that the opponent also does not want assault and runs away from you. Should I run after him? First you need to determine the distance to the runner. A bit too far away – it’s better to switch your attention to loot. Close enough to be chased. Remember that even if he picks up a weapon, he needs time to reload. At this moment, jump in and press until a victorious outcome.
- Kamikaze. There is an opinion that running with fists at an enemy armed with a firearm is a crazy idea. This is partly true, but if you managed to quickly close the distance, then the chances increase. Most players do not know how to shoot at close range, especially if the crazy whirlwind begins. The main thing is to determine the type of weapons and not throw yourself at shotguns and submachine guns.
Fists vs Nagant
So, these are the basic rules of hand-to-hand combat. By adhering to them, you will come out of most fights as a winner. But the methods of contact warfare would be incomplete if we did not mention the melee weapons – cold and crushing. It is these devices that make our life easier, and opponents motionless and dead.
Melee weapon
At the moment, there are only four such weapons, so you can consider each separately:
Scrap
A very common long metal object. A crowbar is usually used to open something, but in the game it is designed to directly open up an opponent’s skulls. Damage type: bludgeoning. Deals 60 damage to the torso, and 150 to the head.
Sickle
The first slashing weapon you come across. It is quite common. Effective enough against bare body armor. The attack speed is quite high. Damage type: cutting. Deals 60 damage to the torso and 150 to the head.
Machete
A serious contender for Assassin of the Year. An unprotected carcass is usually killed the first time, especially in the head. It rarely comes across, rumor has it that it is more common on Miramar. Damage type: cutting. Deals 60 damage to the torso and 150 to the head.
Pan
The legendary symbol of the game is the cast iron pan! This deadly device serves not only as an effective melee weapon (one blow to the head can send the enemy into oblivion), but also has wonderful bullet-reflecting properties. That is why all players, even those who do not plan close combat, hang these kitchen utensils on their belts to cover the rear. The only drawback is a small attack distance and general slowness. Damage type: bludgeoning. Deals 80 damage to the torso and 200 to the head.
Camper’s scary dream
With these improvised items, it is no longer a shame to set traps even for a heavily armed enemy. The main thing, as we already said in the ambush guide, is to reduce the distance to the maximum or even jump from behind. Only high-level armor can reliably save from these cutting-crushing consequences. And how to save – mitigate the damage …
Outcome
You will rarely use fists and melee weapons – once every 20-30 matches, at most. The main gameplay is still concentrated around the powder priblud. But this does not mean that this aspect is so little important that it is possible not to devote time to it. The winners in PUBG are not nerds who know how to shoot from all positions to a squirrel in the eye (although this does not hurt), but people with tactical thinking in their heads who can build an unexpected battle scheme, thanks to which the script is in most bots who proudly call themselves players , breaks down. Hand-to-hand combat is exactly that sudden joker that can be pulled out of the sleeve at any moment. Surprise and win!
