Fighting zone - red zone in PUBG PUBG Guide and Tips

One of the gameplay elements in Playerunknown's Battlegrounds is the red zone. It appears randomly on the map. After some time, an airstrike will start in that zone. On this page of the guide, you will find information related to this aspect of the game.

If the mini-map turns red, your character ended up in the red zone.

Some interesting facts about the red zone:

1. Once it appears, a player has a few seconds before the zone gets bombarded.
2. Red zones don't move - it will not change its position, as the blue one would.
3. There cannot be more than one red zone at a time. It can appear in only one place, and once the bombardment is over, a new one will appear after several seconds.
4. Red zones can appear anywhere, even outside a white zone and far away from any players.
5. A single bomb will always kill a character and can destroy any vehicle.
6. A Character inside a building is safe but he cannot stand by a door or look through a window.
7. Remaining inside a red zone during the bombardment does not mean instant death. Bombs land randomly, and thus it is possible to survive the strike. Still, it's better to keep away from danger by moving outside of the zone or hiding in a building.
