Win more matches in NUSA
BGMI introduced a new map called NUSA. To win more matches and earn more points to rank up, apart from choosing a good landing spot, playing aggressively, using the Auto Recall feature, and being aware of your surroundings, practice makes perfect. Here are some tips that you can check:
- Fast landing technique
- Choose a drop location closer to the plane path. It gives you the most time to land before the other players.
- Dive down at full speed: When a plane reaches a distance close to 375 meters, this gives you the fastest possible landing speed to reach the ground faster.
- Maintain your speed until the parachute opens: While descending at full speed until your parachute automatically opens, this will help you land as close to your target as possible.
- Use NS2000 and Tactical Crossbow for more kills
- NS2000 is a shotgun that you can use in close-range. When not ADSed, it fires nine pellets without which makes a single powerful bullet when scoped in. It is capable of knocking down an opponent wearing a Spetsnaz helmet and dealing 99 damage with a single shot when an enemy is more than 10 meters away.
- Tactical Crossbow can be used to get long-range kills, and it can fire flames that deal additional damage to opponents. It can fire arrows up to 300 meters.
- Zipline
- This is the best way to quickly move from one place to another. If two players use the same zipline from opposite ends, they will collide but can unhook themselves at any time. While using the zipline, do remember that ziplines can be damaged by bullets but they can be repaired by players.
- Auto Recall
- This feature is only available in NUSA Map. When you are eliminated early in a match, you will see a helicopter symbol beside your name. Click on it to be automatically transported back to the place where you were initially finished. The auto feature only stays active for the initial few minutes of matches.
- Level 3 Supplies
- Get Level 3 Supplies from Mecha Soldiers. These are types of bots found exclusively on the 7th floor of tall buildings in Telpak town. Players can take advantage by defeating them to get Level 3 Supplies, and defeating Mecha Soldiers won’t increase a player’s kill count.
FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
Can we expect PUBG Mobile Lite as BGMI Lite?
Both are different games. The Lite version is developed for low-end devices, while BGMI is designed for high-end devices. The Lite version has a smaller map and fewer players than BGMI, and also has lower graphics. PUBG Mobile Lite isn’t available in India. To run Lite, you need 1GB of RAM, Android 4.1 or higher, and this has a download size of 600 MB.
BGMI iOS Download Link after Ban
It is possible to sideload the game on Android, but it is a complicated process for iOS users. You can visit the official BGMI on your Apple device, find it in the history of your purchased apps, and download it again without any issues. It’s not available on both Android and iOS.
Please don’t worry. The rollout is in phases and I hope it will be available to you soon
