Picking up the right gear and weapons early in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds can make it much more likely for players to survive and win a match.

There are a lot of available gear and weapons to find around each map in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, but determining which items are the best can be difficult. Along with weapons and gear, players also need to consider where they land initially, how close the blue zone is, and where their opponents are to win a match. As a battle royale, PUBG can only be won by being the last player standing, so having top-tier gear and weapons makes it easier to do that.

Before players can get started with looting buildings, they will need to pick a good landing spot in PUBG. The best areas to land are the less crowded spots that still have some buildings to search. The best gear and weapons will likely be found in popular landing spots, like the Military Base on the Erangel 2051 map in PUBG. However, these areas can be hard to get to or survive in, so players should aim for abandoned spots when they first start out.

The best weapons to pick up first will depend on the player's style and which guns they are comfortable using. Players can test their weapons and hone their skills in the training mode for PUBG. Once players comprehend how to use each type of gun, they'll be able to win matches with any weapon, and it will be much easier to loot useful guns and ammunition. With sufficient training completed, players can head into a match and use their abilities to locate gear and weapons, and possibly win the game.

There are a few good weapon and gear options for players early in a PUBG match, and they can be found in almost any location. Players will need to look for loot indoors, so they should land somewhere on the PUBG map close to a small town or cluster of buildings. To start, players should find a level three helmet as soon as possible because it will keep them from dying by one headshot. Players should also look for a level two or three backpack so they can carry everything they'll need to win, and a Military Vest for extra protection. Medical supplies are also a necessity because players will need to heal in between firefights. Finally, players will need to look for decent weapons to start with.

Some of the best weapons to use in PUBG can be found fairly early in the game if players get lucky with where they land. The loot is randomized for each match, so players will need to rely on a little bit of luck, but if they can find an M416, S1897, MP5k, or a Kar98k, then they should be well-off early in the match. The next thing players need to focus on after obtaining decent weapons is finding attachments for them. Reducing recoil or adding a scope can greatly increase a player's chances of winning a firefight in PUBG.

Sometimes players will find attachments for guns before they have the weapon it belongs to, but it's recommended that players still pick them up. Finding the weapon later will help players have an immediate advantage when they hang on to the attachments they find first. After collecting the recommended gear, weapons, and attachments, players can focus on taking out the competition. Players can win a match in PUBG by looting the right gear and weapons from various buildings as soon as the game starts.
