White and blue zones on your map in PUBG PUBG Guide and Tips
Last update: 19 August 2019
After several dozen seconds, a white circle will appear on your map. Your task is to reach that area before the time runs out. When it does, another zone (blue) will appear on your map, and it will move towards the white one. Staying outside the white zone has no consequences. However, players outside the blue zone will take damage. At first, the damage will be rather small and it will be possible to run through a zone if you use a medkit. Unfortunately, as the circle begins to shrink, the damage will increase significantly. Thus, it's important to stand by the white zone when the time runs out. Each time the blue circle reaches the white one, a new timer will start and a new white zone will appear on your map. The fact that the zone will become smaller and smaller, means that the players will fight closer to each other - get ready to fire! . The following page describes this mechanics.
Don't jump out blindly and fly to the center of the zone. It is better to remain quiet for the first few tens of seconds and explore the area, trying to find players hidden in the neighborhood. Start moving into a new zone 20-30 seconds before the countdown ends - that is enough time and most players will no longer have time to shoot you. To summarize:
- Being outside the white zone is not associated with any consequences, however, a character outside the blue will take damage.
- Try to stick to the edge of the white zone, not the very middle - it's easier to defend yourself there.
- If you are lucky and you are in the center of the first white zone, hide in one of the buildings and wait for other players. Keep an eye on the zone and move carefully to stay in its center all the time and use this time to hunt for other players.
- If a bridge separates you from the white zone, you should use one of the nearby boats - reach the zone via water, and not the very bridge. Bridges can be used to set up an ambush, so do whatever you can to avoid it. Even if it means swimming across the water and climbing the rocks.
