Do you always start the game with the same lame level one helmet and armor that can't even protect you from a pistol? It’s irritating and it can put you at high disadvantage in the begining of the game. However, many players are able to find level three items within minutes the game starts. How did they fo that? Is there a secret warehouse or location they know? Nope! While there are some good locations which i have posted earlier, many players know that the best loot is in the outer parts of the map. The middle is the safe zone, so the creators of PUBG put the items further away. Now, its true that there is a risk if you head out further as the area compress, but the loot might be worth it.
