4 Effective Strategies For Mid-Range Combat In BGMI
Listed below in this guide are the four best strategies for mid-range combat in BGMI:-
Use Assault Rifles Or Designated Marksman Rifles
Despite its high rate of fire, Submachine Guns deal low damage in mid-range combat. The bullet drop of these weapons could also be tricky for most players. As such, one should use Designated Marksman Rifles (DMR) or Assault Rifles (AR) in BGMI.
AR weapons like AKM and M416 have decent damage at mid-range and can eliminate enemies with precision. Similarly, DMRs have a higher rate of fire than Sniper Rifles, which can be utilized to snipe at distances less than 500 meters.
Hurl Grenades To Disorient Enemies
Players rarely get a chance to use grenades in close combat. However, they are your most effective weapon in mid-range combat. Throw a frag at the enemy hiding behind a rock, tree, or at the corner of a building after only three seconds are left in the detonation timer.
Alternatively, you can fake throw a frag grenade in BGMI by preparing to toss it but canceling the throw within seconds. The sound of the ‘pin click’ will make the enemy want to change their position and it is during this time that one must take advantage of the vulnerable opponent.
Get The Higher Ground With Ample Options For Cover
The high ground cannot be stressed enough in BGMI. Try to shoot enemies from terraces or while on the top of towers as these positions give you a clearer view of the map and the enemy movements. However, ensure that there are sufficient choices for cover in case you get fired at from all sides.
Mid-range battles usually take place while moving to the Safe Zone. As such, one should move to the nearest hill or mountain rather than open fields. Move from one rock or bush to another. Players can even pick a Ghillie Suit from the Air Drop for better stealth gameplay.
Use Jetpacks For Re-Positioning
Jetpacks are going to be introduced in the latest BGMI 3.2 update. This will allow new strategic plays, for instance, quickly closing in on the target to make a mid-range combat to a close-quarters shootout. These mobile devices could also be used to re-position oneself and they will give little to no sound cues unlike one’s footsteps, making it a better alternative for rushing opponents.
This concludes our list of strategies for mid-range combat in BGMI. Plan flanking tactics to gain the upper hand during mid-range enemy engagements as it can catch them off guard. At the same time, use frag grenades to spread panic in the enemy team and smoke grenades to hide your movement.
