Beginner Survival Guide - From Landing to Top 10
Welcome to REDSEC Battle Royale! This guide will help you quickly master the game basics, improve your survival rate, and successfully reach the top 10.
š® Game Basics
What is Battle Royale Mode?
- 100 players drop simultaneously onto the map
- The safe zone continuously shrinks, forcing players to move and engage in combat
- The last surviving player/team wins
- Requires balancing looting equipment and combat decisions
Core Objectives
ā
Survive until the end
ā
Eliminate other players
ā
Stay in the safe zone
ā
Obtain better equipment
š Step 1: Choose Your Drop Location
Recommended Drop Locations for Beginners
| Location | Reason | Risk Level |
|---|
| šļø Suburban Residential | Sufficient resources, low player count, good for farming | āā |
| š Industrial Zone Edge | Decent equipment quality, fewer encounters | āāā |
| š„ Hospital Outskirts | Plenty of medical supplies, can pick up leftovers | āāā |
ā Not Recommended Areas (Beginners)
- ā Downtown: Good resources but intense competition, beginners often die on landing
- ā Airport: Open terrain, easy to get killed
- ā Military Base: Where skilled players gather
Landing Techniques
- Mark Early: Choose your target before the plane takes off
- Diagonal Flying: Maintain 120km/h speed for maximum flying distance
- Vertical Drop: Drop vertically when approaching target (234km/h is fastest)
- Observe Competition: If you see many players landing together, adjust your target immediately
š Step 2: Loot Equipment
Equipment Priority (Important!)
Essential Equipment (Survival Necessities):
- š« Weapons: At least 1 rifle or SMG
- š”ļø Armor: Prioritize Level 2+ armor and helmet
- š Medical: Bandages, first aid kits, energy drinks
Secondary Equipment:
4. šÆ Scopes: 2x/4x scopes
5. š§ Attachments: Suppressors, grips, magazines
6. š£ Throwables: Grenades, smoke grenades
Improving Looting Efficiency
- Loot by Priority: Get weapons and armor first, don't be greedy for ammo
- Quick In and Out: Don't spend more than 30 seconds in each room
- Listen for Footsteps: Always be aware of other players nearby
- Door Closing Habit: Close doors after looting to mislead other players
Recommended Equipment Loadouts for Beginners
Loadout 1 (Stable):
- Primary Weapon: M416 (Assault Rifle)
- Secondary Weapon: UMP45 (SMG)
- Suitable for medium-close range, high error tolerance
Loadout 2 (Range Versatility):
- Primary Weapon: KAR98K (Sniper Rifle)
- Secondary Weapon: AK-47 (Assault Rifle)
- Suitable for players with decent aim
š Step 3: Enter the Safe Zone
Understanding Safe Zone Mechanics
- White Circle: Current safe zone
- Blue Circle: Next safe zone location (shown in advance)
- Poison Circle: Dangerous area outside safe zone, continuous damage
Rotation Timing
ā° Optimal Rotation Time: When the safe zone timer has 1/3 remaining
Example: If the timer shows 3 minutes, start moving when 1 minute remains
Planning Rotation Routes
- Open Map (M key) to observe safe zone direction
- Choose Route:
- ā
Prioritize routes with cover (buildings, forests, hills)
- ā Avoid open plains
- Observe Terrain: Hold high ground, avoid being spotted by players above
ā ļø Common Mistakes
ā Waiting until the last moment to run from poison
ā
Rotate early to avoid being chased by the circle
ā Running along main roads
ā
Choose routes with cover
ā Shooting at every enemy you see
ā
Assess your chances, take detours when necessary
āļø Step 4: Combat Decisions
When Should You Shoot?
ā
Should Shoot:
- Enemy has their back to you (ambush)
- You have advantageous terrain (high ground, cover)
- You're confident in the kill (enemy low health or poor equipment)
ā Should Not Shoot:
- Enemy too far, missing reveals your position
- You're in the open with no cover
- Multiple teams nearby, third-partying risk
Beginner Combat Techniques
- Pre-aim: Aim where enemies might appear beforehand
- Shooting Modes:
- Close range (0-50m): Full auto
- Medium range (50-200m): Burst fire (3-5 rounds)
- Long range (200m+): Single fire
- Cover Usage:
- Peek and shoot, don't stand in the open
- Find cover immediately when shot at, don't fight back recklessly
- Throwables Coordination:
- Smoke grenades: Cover rotations
- Grenades: Clear enemies behind cover
- Flashbangs: Breach buildings
š Step 5: Enter Final Circle
Final Circle Strategy (Top 10)
Position Selection:
- ā
Occupy cover in center of circle
- ā
Back against circle edge, reducing attack angles
- ā Don't stay on circle edge being chased by poison
Combat Selection:
- Don't fight if you don't have to, let others consume each other
- Prioritize eliminating exposed enemies
- Watch for third-party ambushes
Equipment Check:
- Sufficient ammo (120+ rounds per gun)
- Enough meds (2+ first aid kits, 3+ drinks)
- Full throwables inventory
š Common Beginner Mistakes Summary
| Mistake | Consequence | Correct Approach |
|---|
| Landing downtown | Poor equipment, get eliminated | Choose secondary resource points for stable farming |
| Shooting at every enemy | Expose position, get focused | Assess chances before deciding to shoot |
| Staying in one place too long | Get surrounded or trapped by circle | Rotate early, keep moving |
| Greedy for airdrops | Become a sitting duck | Observe surroundings and confirm safety before looting |
| Not listening for footsteps | Get ambushed | Lower game music, increase effects volume |
| Random movement in final circle | Eliminated from multiple angles | Find good cover, wait for opportunity |
