Ever since it parachuted onto the scene, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has been proving itself to be a force to be reckoned with in the gaming landscape. It’s a meteoric rise not seen since Minecraft made its early access debut back in 2009. With thousands of streamers broadcasting their skills and new players jumping in every day, its popularity is well on its way to rivaling that of the sandbox juggernaut. Where did this kind of game even come from though? New styles of gameplay don’t just spawn from the ether; they all have their origins. In the case of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds and the battle royale arena, it all started with a minor PC shooter called ARMA 2.

Simply put, adopting a spray and pray attitude can grant players some easy kills due to the full-auto and burst features on most assault rifles. Even without a proper sight attached to the gun players can fire from the hip and effectively take out a pesky enemy in no time. However, doing so can be a waste of precious ammunition and a death sentence for late-game fights. So good advice would be to always have a close to mid-range sight on your weapon to utilize in case an enemy manages to sneak up on you. And try your best to use positional advantage and aiming down your sight to take out the enemy more effectively. This will save players from using up all their ammo and provide a better loadout for late-game fig

In 2012, a modder by the name of Dean Hall released a mod for ARMA 2 called "DayZ." Its extreme survival focus being the result of Hall’s desire to create an experience that would cause its players to seriously consider their surroundings and survival needs, rather than just blindly reacting. As it turned out, many gamers out there were hungry for this new kind of gaming experience, and DayZ released to massive praise and popularity. So like ARMA 2 before it, DayZ also attracted a healthy modding community, and it wasn’t long before some members of that community starting trying to adapt the game’s survival elements for pvp-focused experiences. It wasn’t until a year later though, in 2013, nft Creativity Platform that PlayerUnknown would make his debut and deliver one of the most influential DayZ mods to date, "PlayerUnknown’s Battle Royale."
