These mistakes reduce our chances of winning a match in either Battle Royale or Multiplayer matches.
1. Wrong Sensitivity
Most players use the wrong sensitivity and this can drastically reduce their chances of victory in a match.
When playing any shooting game, your sensitivity in the game must be adequately set.
If you are not comfortable moving at different angles or in any area when playing.
It is a sign that your sensitivity needs to be checked and adjusted to suit your preference.
Moreover do not just head straight to Google or YouTube to check out the best sensitivity.
Why?
People mostly post the sensitivity that suits them and not you.
So you should adjust them yourself and head to training mode to test them out.
2. Running with guns
A lot of people don't know that running with a gun makes you slower mostly when you're trying to escape from an enemy mostly in the Battle Royale mode.
You should switch to melee by tapping on the gun to move faster.
3. Using the wrong class
Adequate usage of the right class in the Battle Royale mode increases your chances of victory.
Using the right class that suits you makes you more confident in a game and also increases your attack in the game.
It also helps to flee from the enemy in the event of an ambush.

4. Snipers Quickscoping in close range
Quickscoping from a close range is very risky and should be left to the Pros only.
This is very risky because if the enemy is using a gun with very high damage and also a high fire rate.
The sniper will be down before the quick scope has finished.
Someone using a shotgun is also a very big threat because he needs only one clean shot to take you out.
If you don't want a lot of time scoping in, the hipfire option for sniper would be best.
5. Fighting using melee
Using melee like knives, boxing gloves etc is not a good idea when playing against Pro Players.
This is because any good player would take you out before you even get close to using them.
And if you want to use melee for lee combat, I recommend using knives as they make you move faster.
6. Inadequate attachments
Using too many or too few attachments could hinder your optimum gun usage.
For those who use too many attachments, you'll later end up realising that some attachments aren't necessary as they are uncomfortable.
For example, some scopes reduce movement speed and are very uncomfortable to use.
While for those who use too few attachments, try adding a few more that you think are necessary.
Then head out to training mode and test them out.
If you feel they're uncomfortable, then remove them and try something else until you are satisfied.
7. Camping with an SMG
Camping with an SMG is a very big mistake as it is not good for long-range.
So you need to get close to a player before you can deliver a good amount of damage.
Camping is referred to by me as' tactical waiting' although it is considered to be very annoying to most players.
If you, therefore, want to camp, you should do with the proper weapon like an Assault as an SMG is not suitable.
8. Camping with Shotguns
Camping with a shotgun is bad just like camping with an SMG.
A shotgun also requires the user to be close to the enemy before a good amount of damage can be done.
Camping with a shotgun makes you realise that it's a really bad idea as it is only meant for close-range combat.
So camping with a shotgun can limit your chances of victory in a game.
9. Going prone from a far distance
Going prone from a far distance is also another big mistake that some players make.
Going prone from a very close distance is way better to surprise an enemy in a shootout.
If it is done from a far range, one is at a bigger risk of getting killed in a match.
10. Playing without earphones
As trivial as it may sound it is very important for your victory in a match.
Having an earphone plugged in helps you hear enemy footsteps to know there is an enemy approaching.
It is very important in Battle Royale matches and 1vs1 room matches.
More than 90% of Pros in the game use earphones while playing.
