Anyone who goes from one game to another is in for a rude awakening. Either the jump button isn't in the right place or there is no sprint button or the reload button is in a terrible position.

In general, the tips for surviving and winning in solo still apply to duo. However, duo players can do some tricks a solo player can't, like the bait trick. For this trick, one player needs to hide somewhere, like in a bush, while their partner runs around out in the open. Most of the time this will draw other players out of hiding, and can leave them exposed to the player that has remained hid

The AWM sniper rifle is insane. If you are a PUBG fanboy (or girl) you have likely heard about this gun, and have done everything in your power to get it (with good reason). It has the highest hit range of sniper rifles, has the second highest bullet speed, and Destiny 2 Artifact Perks is known as a "monster firearm," in the game.
