By now, everyone is familiar with battle royale video games. From games like Apex Legends , Fortnite , and Call of Duty: Warzone 2 , battle royale titles seem to have flooded the online gaming market and have left a permanent imprint on the multiplayer shooter genre. However, within the selection of free-to-play options in the battle royale genre , CS:GO Danger Zone seems to be one that has been largely underrated since lau

Like CS: GO, DotA 2 has built a massive player base and Esports scene over many consistent years of popularity.

This initial habit of breaking open these crates is incredibly useful, as doing so will often ensure that a team can wipe out any enemies in the surrounding area, which will award them money and give them a good start to the round. But it's important for players to remember the differences between the red supply crates that they see, as there are two kinds. The smaller ones can be opened without weapons (with fists), and the other, larger ones must be opened with melee weapons or guns, so it's important to look for the smaller crates first.

Newcomers getting into the FPS genre might feel overwhelmed at first at the idea of Rainbow Six: Siege . Due to the tactical nature of Rainbow Six Siege , players need to rely on careful planning, reconnaissance with drones and cameras, and even reinforcing (or breaking through) walls and doors. On top of these mechanics are a wide array of Attackers and Defenders that, with their unique abilities, augment a team's already-expansive tool

By far the most common mistake that many new players make in Danger Zone is redeploying in heavily contested areas on the map. These are zones where several teams may be fighting at once, making it a dangerous area to redeploy i

The beginning of Danger Zone games usually consist of players scanning the environment while deploying to look for the first small red supply crate that they see.

As the newest map to be introduced into the active pool, Anubis has had some controversy upon its inclusion, to say the least. Designed by Roald, jakuza, and jd40, the map was first added to the game on March 31, 2020, to the Scrimmage mode before eventually being moved to Competitive 10 days later. This is notable as it was only the second map to be added to Competitive via this method as before this Cache was the only one to make it. Given this fact, Google explains there seemed to be a lot of positive feedback for the map since Cache is a very well-loved

Tekken has been one of the most consistently popular fighting games in the genre. The 3D fighter features beautiful graphics and a huge roster of unique characters to choose from. Save for a few exceptions like Super Smash Bros , fighting games are often very hard for newcomers to come into.

Like many difficult-to-learn shooters in the multiplayer market, Insurgency: Sandstorm plays very differently from the typical shooter. While not a true combat sim like Arma, Insurgency throws players into unique game modes with weapons that down foes in one to two shots.

PUBG suffers from the fact that the players who loved it at launch have stuck with it. Normally, this isn't a negative at all, showing that a game can harbor a solid community — but for newcomers, this can be intimidating. Luckily, PUBG lobbies are filled with bots early on, allowing newcomers to get the feel of the game and the unique gunplay. Unfortunately, these bots are spliced with players that never put the game down, so sometimes, newcomers will be deleted by someone who's simply bet
