Playing in the Storm

Be a rebel and hang out in the storm.
Just take your shoes off when you go inside.

The storm causes damage, but in the early game, it’s not as much. You can use this to your advantage. Here are a few tips on using the storm both defensively and offensively.

Getting weapons from inside the storm

It’s less likely to find other people in the storm, so this can be a safe way to pickup weapons, especially if there’s a place of interest right near the edge.

Using the storm to approach an enemy

Attacking someone while you’re inside the storm can be a great way to gain the element of surprise. You’re also harder to see in the storm. However, this can backfire. If your enemy hears you approaching (if you don’t crouch), they can prepare and attack back. That damage, plus the storm damage, can kill.

Go into the storm to gain a better position

This is especially important in late game. Yes, the storm does more damage then, but sometimes moving into the storm can give you better position as you come out. That can often make the difference between 2nd place and a Victory Royale.

Kill enemies escaping the storm

People are generally under pressure when they’re in the storm and trying to run out. They aren’t prepared for a fight, and they are easy targets. Show no mercy!

Shockwave people into the storm

This is fun to do, but super annoying if it happens to you. Throw a shockwave towards your opponent so that the impact throws them into the storm. It’s so satisfying to do this. You can also do this with cars by driving into them, and by using special weapons that have a shockwave effect.
