5 things you need to know about PUBG: Blind Spots
Blog Andrew Joseph 01 Jul , 2025 0
PUBG: Blind Spot It's a shameless little PUBG: Battlefield The spin is currently under development and can be played in the showroom of IGN Live. This is a 5V5 top-down tactical shooter with the classic Team DeathMatch mode – even in the chaos of the game show, we are hooked on one – and demolition mode, which will see teams defeating enemies using traps and obstacles. It is compared to the top-down Rainbow Six Siege and for good reason: To increase the killing, you need to use your brain as well as the trigger finger.
1. Think of “Peeing with Bullets”
Forget all FPS muscle memory, this is a top-down strategic PVP game where your cunning is as important as reaction time. You fall on a map full of corners, windows, doorways – basically anything you can think of makes sight a key part of gameplay – and you have to chase the opponents in the back before they pop up. You can see the entire map, but you will only see the enemy in your eyes or teammates, which sounds simple until someone focuses on the doorway at the end of the corridor until someone grabs your window.
2. Demolition mode is on the way
While we don't play the demolition mode, it sounds like a complex improvement compared to the 5v5 DeathMatch, adding to the need for planning and teamwork. Production Director Seungmyeong Yang explained this more on IGN Live. “Demolition mode is usually found in other games like Counterattack or Valente,” he said. “In this demolition mode, there is an offensive team and a defending team, and the defense team basically tries to stop the offensive team from coming in, and the offensive team tries to violate the building. It's so fun to see the gamers' reactions, and they seem to really enjoy the game!” Demolition mode is inspiration for those Rainbow Six Siege comparisons, albeit from a brand new top-down perspective.
3. Start your WASD Warm Up
The keyboard and mouse controls are more like a double-stick shooter, which will keep your brain in a second to catch up with the way they work. You can control movement with WASD and mouse vision, while aiming and shooting weapons can hold the correct mouse button. However, this will slow down your movement, so it is always a balance between moving quickly to avoid enemy discovery and choosing when to shoot the shot. Once you're mastered once you can focus on more accuracy, use the mouse wheel and keyboard for head shots, body shots or specifically target any squatting enemies.
4. Role selection is key
Like any team game, the person you have in the five-man killer will be important. The build I play has 10 characters to choose from, each with a pleasant look and load to make things interesting. I'm not a subtle surgical guy, so I tend to those weapons that can lead to slaughtering close ranges, like bearded cowboy collisions, which come with Winchester 1300 Shotgun and Booby Traps; or kayaks, he has semi-automatic O12 combat shotgun and long-range viscoe shots. Support players can go to the fanatic with her P90 and First Aid Kid, or snipe a partner with a scanning drone. You might just want to play some because of their character design – I'm not usually the one with toxic gas grenades, but the drop-down has a dystopian Harley Quinn vibe that's hard to resist.
5. You can play in August
There is no official release date for the entire game, but there is a PC beta in August. Pay close attention to the game Official Steam Page Used for updates.
