Close combat pubg mobile

Pubg is full of combat game and it's less likely for you not to involve in close combat situation. Most of the player plays descent in distance fight but when it comes to close fight they sucks because the amount of pressure one need to deal in close range fight is breath taking. So mastering close combat in pubg mobile is a real test of endurance, and certainly not meant for fainthearted as one need to take care of lots of things in less span of time. 

Fighting in close combat is totally different from that of mid and long range combats. One can back down from mid and long range combat if they are hurt and can even bounce back with more effective strategy, but once encountered in close fight it is do or die situation one has to compulsorily take fight as there is no back down. In such situation most of the player get panic making it easier for the enemy to kill them. Hence making a way through such a intense situation is difficult task especially when a squad rushes at you. In that case you had to constantly change your position by running from one building to other and trying to separate them and then killing them one by one. But it is never easy to do and this might not work always if there is no barrier between you and enemy, and they attacks you at once. But most of time you will atleast have some cover and it will not always squad of 4 to take on you hence there is always some scope of surviving.

Your success of winning in close combats largely depends on opponents mistakes. Hence Close combat is more sort of mind game, so you cannot afford to panic. Patience, composure with skills can help you master close combat situation if you know to use hints (alerts on map, direction of sound) and surrounding (cover) to your advantage. Following are some of  the tips to keep in mind for performing better in close combats.

Armour

Vest is most crucial factor in close combat, if you do not have vest even a single bullet can deal massive damage, in that case you can simply give backup to your teammate. Level 1 vest is ok in early fight as nobody has good loot initially. Atleast you need level 2 vest and helmet before entering into the fight. And level 3 gear is compulsory in last few circle. You can replace the vest with fresh one level lower than current vest if it is half damaged.

Weapons

Having right loadout, i.e. weapons with high damage per second and fast firing rate are important in close combats. Groza has highest damage per second but is not easily accessible, so the other weapons you can look for are vector or beryl. All shotguns are op in close combat as it takes only one shot to take down an enemy, S12K with extended magazine makes it less critical to miss a shot. Most of the players carries AR and sniper, on firing one round they will reload the gun instead of switching to the pistol and then one who will reload the gun first will assure the victory.

Movement + Shooting
If you do not move while shooting it would be easier for the enemy to kill you. You must have seen some players try every possible stunt to make themselves less likely to hit in close combat. Basically they try to keep their movement unpredictable as a result it becomes difficult for you to lock aim on them, in that effort they successfully able to miss the bullets fired at them thereby increasing their chances of survival. If you make any known movement like moving in only one direction while shooting enemy aim assist will easily catch you. Peeking left-right, proning, crouching or jumping while shooting will help you to dodge the enemy bullets, and trust me it really works.

Prone and shoot (drop shot) is highly effective as a reflex move if enemy is more than 10 meters away and suddenly appears infront of you. Proning while shooting will not only confuse your enemy but also helps you to miss most of the bullets enemy had fired on you. But movement become zero when you prone and one should never prone if enemy is in the cover.
Crouch and shoot reduces the bullet spread and due less body surface area while crouching it is difficult for the enemy to hit you. But doing so will reduce your movement if do not uncrouch immediately and there is high possibilities of getting killed by headshot, as one has to lower the head position while crouching and majority of the player aim low (below head) in close combat. 
Jump and shoot if enemy is hiding behind cover or taking TPP, this would help you to trick enemies aim assist. But the bullet spread increases while jumping hence it is necessary to hit on head when you jump.

Device 

It is lot easy to kill enemy on a good device in any range battle than on a device which lags. Most of the time we loses close fight due to wrong sensitivity, low sensitivity can put you in trouble as you had to swipe screen harder inorder to adjust on enemy. FPS (frames per second) also matters a lot in close combat, basically you cannot take fight in close range with low fps. A extreme fps player will certainly take down low fps player even if they got same amount of skills.

Small things that can have huge impact on close combat result- 
Reading mini map as it gives basic idea about direction and number of enemy, based on that you can take some steps to beat them. 
Always stay boosted before entering in the fight, this will ensure your health to some extend. 
As far as possible stay in cover and take fight instead directly exposing your body in air.
