What is PUBG and why is it addictive

PUBG is a game that has been played by so many teenagers and people from all around the world. It’s an online video game that consists of four players as maximum. But you can play as a solo player, a duo, or as a team that can consist of three or four players. Many people got so addicted to that game as they started playing it more and more, including myself. There are different reasons for that but lets just start with what this game is all about.

First of all, you download the game from your phone or laptop for some people, you can login either by having an account or just as a guest user. Either ways, you will be able to start playing. The entire purpose of this game is to have a land for yourself or your team by killing enemies and collecting supplies such as guns, grenades, bullets, etc... 

The game contains 100 players in each round including you and your enemies. So you just start as a player that is actually only wearing underwear and at level 0, you start the game and you find yourself on an airplane that will let you be able to land anywhere you choose in the map showing in the top right corner of your screen. 

So once you press to jump out of the airplane you will have the parachute that will automatically open once you are near to reach the ground. Or you can choose to open it earlier. It’s up to you. Once you land on the ground only wearing underwear, you will start to search for houses or places where you can find supplies in order to kill your enemies, the more enemies you kill, the more is your chance to win. 

That depends on how fast you are using the player buttons to shoot and your skills at hiding. So when you are done with getting your supplies you will notice that each minute or so the zone on the map that looks like a circle will target a specific area on the map that you need to get in as soon as possible wherever you are. That is called the safe zone. That zone is where your blood level can stay as it is unless you get shot by an enemy. If you don’t get in the safe zone you will be in the blue area where your blood level will start getting less and less and cause your loss at the game. You can get to the safe zone either by cars or airplanes. So let’s say you got in the safe zone, on your way there you might find some enemies and you can shoot them even if you’re in a car unless you were the driver as the driver can only drive.  At the end of the game, the zone keeps getting smaller and smaller and the players start getting less and less, you will find yourself with another 3 or 4 players or maybe even less that you have to kill in order to get that land and win the game.

Each time you win, your level gets higher and higher and your points will be more so you can finally buy clothes from the shop. There is also an RP level that increases as you accomplish missions while playing the game. You will find them in the mission list.

Now lets get to the reason why so many people got addicted to that game that they play it for more that 6 hours a day. Believe it or not, i have been through that. Well, i think the main reason is that it’s a way of releasing stress and getting your adrenaline level high. You should pay full attention to not get killed by an enemy which causes that adrenaline rush. Which can be so exciting. Another reason is that there is a chat button where you can chat with your teammates or even your enemies which is so fun. You get to make online friends and relationships where you can talk about everything. It just takes you to another world where you can spend your leisure time having fun. But you need to control your mind not to forget about other priorities in your life spending time on this game as that can be REALLY unhealthy. It just doesn’t hurt to have fun from time to time without getting addicted.
