PUBG: Blindspot Controls and Vision Guide

PUBG: BLINDSPOT transforms the franchise's signature gunplay into an intense 5v5 top-down tactical experience. Unlike traditional PUBG's open battlefields, this game emphasizes close-quarters combat with revolutionary vision mechanics that turn every corner into a potential ambush. You'll need to master new control schemes, understand sight lines, and coordinate with teammates like never before.

What's New in PUBG: BLINDSPOT 

The shift from first-person to top-down perspective fundamentally changes how you approach combat. While you can see the map layout from above, your character's vision operates through realistic sight cones. This creates genuine blind spots where enemies can hide, even when you're looking directly at the area on your screen.

The game features destructible environments where you can breach walls with sledgehammers or explosives, creating new flanking routes mid-match. Eight unique Operators bring specialized weapons like the AWM and Mk14, plus tactical gadgets including Blue Zone grenades and recon drones.

Basic Controls

The control scheme deliberately slows down engagements to emphasize tactical positioning over twitch reflexes. Here's what you need to know:

You cannot fire without first holding Right-Click to aim. This adds intentional delay to every engagement, forcing you to pre-aim corners and think ahead rather than relying on quick reactions.

Pro Tip: Practice the aim-then-fire sequence in Team Deathmatch until it becomes muscle memory. The delay feels awkward initially but becomes second nature with repetition.

Game Mode Strategies

Team Deathmatch

Start here before jumping into ranked matches. This 5v5 mode with unlimited respawns lets you learn weapon recoil patterns, health pack locations, and grenade physics without round-ending consequences. The first team to reach 30 eliminations wins.

Key focus areas:

• Weapon handling - PUBG's signature recoil is still present
• Movement patterns - Learn safe rotation routes
• Audio cues - Footsteps and reload sounds are crucial intel

Standard Match

This round-based Demolition mode pits attackers against defenders in tactical scenarios. Attackers must plant the Decrypter at the central Crypt, while defenders fortify positions with barricades and traps.

Attack Strategy:

• Use drone operators like Buddy for reconnaissance
• Coordinate breaches through multiple entry points
• Clear rooms methodically - rushing gets you eliminated

Defense Strategy:

• Set up crossfires covering key chokepoints
• Use destructible walls to create unexpected angles
• Save utility for retakes when attackers commit

Vision Mechanics and Information Warfare

The shared vision system means when one teammate spots an enemy, the entire team sees their position. This transforms individual scouting into team-wide intelligence gathering.

Vision Management Tips:

• Position teammates to cover each other's blind spots
• Use walls and corners to break enemy sight lines
• Pre-aim common angles based on teammate callouts
• Audio provides crucial information beyond visual range

Operator Roles and Strategy

Choose operators that complement your team composition rather than personal preference. Check out our PUBG: Blindspot Guide: Operators and Weapons for detailed breakdowns of each character's capabilities.

Essential Roles:

• Intel Gatherers - Operators with drones or scanning abilities
• Breachers - Characters with wall-destruction tools
• Support - Healing or utility-focused operators
• Fraggers - High-damage dealers for eliminations

Advanced Tactical Concepts

Wall Penetration and Angles

Bullet penetration allows you to eliminate enemies through certain materials. Learn which surfaces are penetrable and use teammate spotting to line up shots through walls.

High Ground Advantage

Elevated positions provide superior sight lines and make you harder to hit. Use Spacebar to vault onto objects and secure commanding positions early in rounds.

Sound-Based Positioning

With limited vision, audio becomes your primary early warning system. Listen for:

• Footsteps indicating enemy movement
• Reload sounds signaling vulnerability windows
• Grenade pins giving you time to reposition

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Rushing Without Clearing: Every corner and doorway needs visual confirmation before advancing. The top-down view creates false confidence about room safety.

Ignoring Team Vision: Moving outside your teammates' sight lines leaves you vulnerable to flanking attacks you cannot see coming.

Poor Aim Discipline: Trying to hip-fire or quick-scope will get you eliminated. Always aim first, then engage.

PUBG: BLINDSPOT rewards methodical play and team coordination over individual skill. Master the vision system, communicate with your team, and approach each engagement with tactical patience. The learning curve is steep, but the satisfaction of executing perfect team plays makes every eliminated opponent worth the effort.
