Battle royales have certainly changed games and those who play them. They’ve made players more strategic, rely more on teammates, be a little more patient, and play a lot more aggressively.PUBGis one of the first battle royals to popularize the genre and has helped shape the course of the genre at the same time. WithPUBGgoing tofree-to-play, even more players can now try out the popular battle royale. Since somuch has changedsince the game’s release,dropped onto players, it’s a great time to talk about one of the biggest changesl

The training section wasn’t added untilPUBGwent free-to-play. It’s a great tool to help new players understand the otherwise linear learning curve; however, both newer and older players jumping into the newer version ofPUBGwill notice that the training is bothunskippable and rather tedious. For those who find the training annoying, this guide will help players quickly get through it and on their way to winning their first — or millionth — chicken dinner.
Can Players Skip Training?
Sadly, playerscan’t skip the training section.Both new and old players, when starting the game on a new platform, will have to go through the training first. On the plus side, can teach all the ins and outs ofPUBG,which will work in tandemwith these tips for beginners.
Unskippable training can also work against players, especially for experienced gamers who already understand the meta ofPUBGand may find it tedious, discouraging them from playing more. Since it’s unskippable, getting through it quickly is the best option. Still, doing the training can help players understandPUBG’smechanics, especially compared to otherbattle royales likeApex Legends, which tend to be more straightforward thanPUBG.
Getting Through The Training
The training section is tedious inPUBGisn’t too hard, but its repetitiveness can make things feel longer. This sectionis split into two different parts: the A.I. training drills, and A.I. matches with computers.
A.I. Training Drills
During the training drills, players will need to do the following four things during any A.I. match:

On paper, these prerequisites seem rather easy, and they are. But it’s that tediousness inPUBGthat can make it feel like players aren’t making progress. Those who choose this option should play as aggressively as possible. Since the matches are full of bots rather than other players, getting through the challenges comes with ease. The best part is that all the challenges carry over, so if players don’t get any kills, they can pick up where they left off rather than reset.
A.I. Matches
Splitting the training into two sections helps players complete the training fast. In this way, players doing the A.I. matches can get a better feel of whatPUBGis, because it requires players to play the game. This training is the easier of the two, since it helps players understandthe many mapsoffered inPUBG.It’s also a great way for gamers to play aroundwith their settingsto learn what makes them most comfortable for when the real deal comes. The A.I. matches have the easiest tasks: they just require players toplay ten matches.This can be done in any one way, making it quick to get through.
The first way forPUBGto count a match is for players to get at least one kill, which comes rather easily since all players in the match are A.I. The second way is when players die. There are many ways for this to happen, but the best way is during a firefight when players die mid-match. Not only does this count towards the ten matches that players need, but it also gives players a realistic idea of whatPUBGis. This training gives players more freedom, allowing them to ease themselves into the mechanics ofPUBG.
