The pandemic has seen a sudden curiosity amongst these caught at dwelling to make use of their spare time to study a brand new ability. And that ability may even be PUBG, as we learnt lately. The Complete Guide To Player Unknown’s BattleGrounds from on-line studying platform Udemy comprising 30 brief lectures by skilled gamer and Esports coach Nicholas “NicoThePico” Korsgård.
We determined to strive the course and here’s what we expect.
Firstly, word that your complete course revolves across the PC variant of PUBG, and never PUBG Mobile, the favored cellular sport that was lately banned in India. PUBG PC just isn’t banned and might nonetheless be purchased in India and performed on-line with associates or strangers.
However, that mentioned, most of the methods we realized within the periods will be carried out in PUBG Mobile as effectively. Some generic mantras will even possible profit you in just about any Battle Royale title you play, whatever the platform. So quite a lot of methods we realized within the lectures will be carried out in video games like Call of Duty Mobile, or Garena Free Fire.
How does the course work?
‘The Complete Guide to PUBG’ course is categorised into numerous sub-sections. These assist each our host Nico and the viewers to concentrate on explicit areas at a time.
About 10-Quarter-hour into the movies, we realised that this was not a ‘How to play PUBG’ tutorial for the rookies. In truth, what we had enrolled for was extra of a sophisticated class for these with no less than some prior expertise of the sport. So you’re anticipated to know issues like the varied maps and weapons of PUBG. You will even be higher off understanding what phrases like ‘pushing’, ‘rotating’ and ‘contesting’ imply within the context of the Battle Royale style.
How do you train PUBG?
The ‘Gameplay Analysis’ implementation right here is kind of easy and simple to know. Nico has already performed a bunch of matches, solo, duo and squad, and has the recordings of those video games. These recordings are then additional divided into a number of sections. Nico then coaches us, the viewers, whereas enjoying again these recordings. As the in-game participant progresses by means of the match, the host is ready to give us his perception on what his motivations are by means of the varied sections and what his plans over the subsequent couple of minutes will probably be.
This proved to be very efficient as we get a real-time demo of how the methods Nico explains are literally carried out in every sport. In some video games, Nico can be joined by different notable gamers in Duo/Squad matches and additionally, you will see him change to the in-game audio cases at occasions to present us a real-time depiction of how parts like in-game communication will be more practical.

As we talked about earlier than, the course is split into sections. While we’ve got one complete part devoted to swift, strategic and environment friendly participant actions within the sport, others focus extra on the early, mid and later levels of the sport. The ‘Parkour Heaven’ part, as an illustration, offers with numerous leaping and vaulting actions you’ll be able to make use of throughout numerous constructions discovered all through the map on PUBG. Here we realized some neat eye-opening methods to make use of to get on prime of sure constructions we beforehand regarded as inaccessible. This contains getting on prime of some buildings that haven’t any ramp, or staircase to get you there.
Moving ahead, there may be the early sport part, which once more has a bunch of different movies categorised by every of the three main PUBG maps (Erangel, Sanhok and Miramar).

In the lectures specializing in Duo and Squad video games, we additionally see how your workforce will be break up in elements whereas touchdown, to successfully have management over a bigger space with out having your teammates be killed. Other parts, like studying the circle and the kill-feed and utilizing that data to determine how many individuals could possibly be round you, nearly made us really feel like we had been dishonest, however we weren’t. This is actually data introduced to everybody, however Nico teaches us the language to learn it.

So, was it well worth the money and time?
We should say that from the angle of somebody who has performed fairly a little bit of PUBG earlier than, and likes the thought of getting higher on the sport, the course was certainly insightful. However, this course, which prices Rs 360, just isn’t for everybody. There is gaming and there may be Esports, and this course focuses on the latter.
If you’re somebody who simply jumps into Battle Royale after a tiring day at work to unwind, this course just isn’t for you. The strategies talked about right here would require effort and a steady state of consciousness to allow them to be carried out. You will even require a workforce of equally motivated gamers to utilize the squad formations and strategies you’ll study with Nico.
Not to say, you’ll not immediately turn into a greater participant by watching the course, however it should assist focus your efforts in the correct course.
