It relies heavily on chance, with even top teams struggling to reach a 50% win rate in public servers (around 45% seems typical). The game is still in its early stages, which explains the issues. It’s expected to improve significantly before the end of the year.
It shows true ability, patience matters greatly, and awareness is essential—you can pass without ever seeing them.
It's so well-liked because it stands out as a distinctive title. The only similar games are H1Z1 and the Arma 3 mod, both created by the same developer behind PUBG.
There's a high degree of luck, too, or at least in solo play. I placed #7 in my second game. I wasn't traversing the map for loot; I simply found a small hut that the play area conveniently continued to shrink around, and sat in it for a good 15-20 minutes. Quad play is distracting especially when you have chatty teammates who insist on announcing every bit of loot they find.
