Gyroscope Guide to PUBG Mobile: Highlighting Advantages and Disadvantages

PUBG mobile introduces players to a number of options that can help them improve their gameplay and climb up the ranking ladder. The availability of so many options can often get confusing even for players who have been playing the game for some time now. One of the major debate that goes around in the PUBG mobile gaming community is about Gyroscope.

Gyroscope feature lets you control the movement of your character by moving your phone using motion sensors. This can lead to more screen real-estate for the player as the fingers are no more used to change the direction of the player while moving around or even spraying down on the enemy from a distance, this broadens the scope of spotting enemies better. However, players need to master the movement and come up with a combination of sensitivities best suited for themselves and this can take up a good amount of time.

This leads to whether Gyroscope is actually that important to fasten your in-game progress or are you better off without it. There are some advantages and disadvantages of using the Gyroscope feature that players should be aware of before deciding.

Advantages

#1 Faster Movement

Movement is key in a game like PUBG mobile. It is necessary to confuse the enemy, dodge bullets and rushing on the enemy. With the Gyroscope setting on "always-on", players can control their movement without using their thumb like non-gyro players. This works as a big advantage as the faster you move or shake your screen, the faster your in-game character will be able to move. Plus, now that your thumb is free, you can do a combination of movements like jump and shoot, crouch and shoot and prone and shoot. This can give you a massive advantage over your enemies and help you secure more kills especially in close-combat situations making jiggle movements easier to do and dodge enemy bullets.
A point to note would be that players need to use Gyroscope at full sensitivity making the screen more responsive and movements of the character swifter.

#2 Better Enemy Tracking

Tracking the movement of an enemy can be challenging in PUBG mobile especially at higher ti Difficulty in Tracking Vehicleser levels. Gyroscope enhances this slightly as players no more have to react to a moving enemy by using and dragging their thumb, they can now just move their screen in the direction of their enemies to spot them and keep them on their scope. This broadens the possibility of taking down enemies from a distance without getting located while keeping your thumb for secondary movements like taking a peek. Reaction time plays a crucial role in PUBG mobile and Gyroscope can actually be helpful in reducing that.

#3 Enhanced Recoil Control

The gun mechanics of PUBG mobile are close to real and this means that powerful guns have unmanageable recoil. One advantage of always-on Gyroscope is the ability to control recoil more efficiently. Players need to tilt their phone downwards in order to control and balance out the upward movement of the assault rifle while spraying down on enemies. This makes sure that most of your bullets are hitting the target, and you are getting more kills.

Disadvantages

#1 Difficulty in Tracking Vehicles

If you are a Gyroscope player or considering to start with it, you should know that it has some limitations. Tracking the movement of a vehicle in order to spray down on it, is difficult with Gyroscope on. If a vehicle full of enemies is circling around you, it becomes challenging to keep the scope on the car constantly. Players can tilt their phone only to a certain level and not beyond that. Thumb players can keep dragging their thumbs across the screen in order to track the car whereas Gyroscope players might have to just unwind and start the process again. In top-tier or custom matches this can prove to be a big disadvantage as the level of damage you do to the vehicle and the players can be much less with Gyroscope on.

#2 Affects Sniping Skills

Snipers are one of the most powerful weapons in PUBG mobile that are capable of killing an enemy with one shot even from a distance but with great power comes great responsibility and in this case great precision. Snipers have a longer than usual reload time making it very important for the players to land the perfect shot. Gyroscope makes the screen sensitive to motion and this can make aiming with a sniper difficult for players. Landing the perfect headshot takes precision and calculation and just an inch of movement, and you will miss the target while at the same reveal your position to the enemy. However, this can be changed by practising in the training ground, but it is a very difficult thing to master from the get-go.
