Novorepnoye (Erangel Map)
Novorepnoye is extremely famous even in the PC version of PUBG. Situated near the military base on the island below the map, it offers a plethora of good loot including weapons like K98, SKS, M416, scopes 4x and 6x, level 2 and level 3 armor, and enough equipment for a team of 4. Although there's a lot of valuable loot, this area is also heavily contested. Therefore, if you're playing solo/duo and not confident in your shooting skills, it's not advisable to drop here due to the high player traffic and constant gunfights.
Pochinki (Erangel Map)
The most bustling combat area in Erangel map is undoubtedly Pochinki. Situated right in the middle of the map, surrounded by numerous houses, hiding spots, and abundant loot, Pochinki is always the center for duos/squads to engage in combat. If you're not keen on running away and belong to the group of players who enjoy PUBG Mobile for stress-relief shooting rather than striving for the top position, Pochinki is the perfect spot for you.
Mylta Power (Erangel Map)
Mylta Power area is situated on the outskirts of the map, usually not crowded as it requires a long run to get there. However, the high-rise buildings in this area often contain a decent amount of loot sufficient for 1-2 players. Occasionally, this area may also see considerable foot traffic if the plane drops nearby, attracting early jumpers to choose Mylta Power.
Sosnovka Military Base (Erangel Map)
Known as the Military Zone, this area is also a hotspot for intense firefights in the game. If you're playing duo/squad, you'll often encounter 2-3 teams dropping into this area due to its vastness and abundance of loot. Sosnovka Military Base is situated in the middle of the secondary island, making it difficult to move to the main island if the circle is far away, as you'll need to cross one of the two bridges which may be camped by enemy teams. Prioritize looting the multi-story buildings as most of the valuable loot can be found inside these structures.
Georgopol (Erangel Map)
Commonly referred to as the 'port area' with numerous shipping containers, large buildings, and close proximity to the hospital. Despite being on the outskirts of the map, Georgopol often attracts many players looking for the 'flare gun' as it has an almost 100% spawn rate here. On top of the shipping containers, you'll find a large amount of valuable loot, enough to equip a full squad team, but be cautious as you may be sniped from the high towers or the other side of the port area.
Hacienda Del Patron & San Martin (Miramar Desert Map)
These two areas are close to each other and almost blend into one another, so I'll group them together. The loot spawn rate in this area is quite good and sufficient for a full squad of 4. There are also many 4-story buildings here, ideal for looting sniper rifles, DMRs, and scopes from 4x and above. Hacienda Del Patron & San Martin are both located near the center of the map, so you won't have to worry too much about running away when landing in these areas.
Mansion behind Hacienda Del Patron (Miramar Desert Map)
This is known as the 'richest house in the game' in the Miramar desert map. The amount of level 3 gear and high-tier weapons, large scopes, health kits, and weapon attachments in this mansion is abundant. There have been instances where Vietnamese streamers found 4 level 3 helmets and level 3 vests here. Previously, this area didn't attract many players as it was quite secluded and independent from the clustered residential areas. However, after many gamers posted videos showcasing the abundance of high-tier loot in this mansion, it gained fame. Nowadays, if you're playing solo/duo and land here, you may have to face around 10-20 players with similar intentions.
Prison (Miramar Desert Map)
This prison compound is located in the bottom left corner, far from the map's center. The loot here can be described as quite abundant, usually providing enough gear for a full loadout and occasionally featuring level 3 helmets or vests. Despite offering good loot, Prison often doesn't attract many players due to its distant location from the center, making it easy to get caught outside the play zone if unable to find transportation. If you're playing in a squad and prefer a more passive survival approach over engaging in combat, Prison might be a suitable landing spot.
Pecado (Miramar Desert Map)
Similar to Pochinki in the Erangel map, Pecado is located in the center of the Miramar desert map and is a bustling hub of combat. Players can quickly loot a full set of gear in Pecado, especially in areas like the Arena, Casino, and two orange-colored apartment buildings. Vehicles are also scattered around, making it easy to leave the area if needed. However, it's important to consider before landing here because, like Pochinki in the Erangel map, Pecado is a non-stop combat zone.
Ruins (New Sanhok Map)
The Ruins area in the Sanhok map is perhaps the most loot-rich location in this map. With a plethora of loot spread across all three levels of the main ruins area and the surrounding vicinity, there's enough for a full squad of four. Ruins often attracts many players due to the abundance of gear, including level 2 and sometimes even level 3 equipment, K98, QBZ, SKS, and plenty of medical supplies, making it a lively combat zone. Additionally, Ruins is situated near the center of the map, so you usually don't have to worry about running long distances after landing here.
Water Treatment (Miramar Desert Map)
Water Treatment is located just above San Martin, at a relatively high elevation compared to Hacienda Del Patron. Although it may appear small, this area hides high-quality loot beneath the water tower bases. Buildings and structures in the vicinity also contain enough loot to gear up for the entire match. This area can be hit or miss in terms of player activity, as it's close to the wealthiest mansion in the game. If you choose to drop here, exercise caution and watch out for enemies coming from Hacienda Del Patron.
Paradise Resort (New Sanhok Map)
Paradise Resort is the hottest spot on the Sanhok map, always echoing with gunfire. This luxurious resort area boasts the largest loot pool in Sanhok, with high-tier items galore: M416, QBZ, AKM, and occasionally even the M24 sniper rifle. Additionally, helmets, armor, and medical supplies are plentiful here. The terrain of Paradise Resort offers limited cover, and it's relatively small compared to the number of players dropping in. If you want to gain an advantage, try to secure a shotgun first, then climb onto rooftops and high positions. Make sure your squad has sharpshooting skills if you decide to drop into Paradise Resort.
Docks (New Sanhok Map)
Located on the far bottom right edge of the Sanhok map, Docks is an area that doesn't see many initial drops. The loot on the two boats, atop the cargo containers, and in the two surplus warehouses is enough to equip a full squad of four players for the entire match. Although this area has a lower chance of spawning level 3 gear, if you prefer a strategy of looting from afar and then engaging in the center once you have sufficient items, Docks is a reasonable choice. Be sure to move early because the blue zone closes in quickly in Sanhok, and this location is the farthest from the center.
Bootcamp (New Sanhok Map)
Just as Erangel has Pochinki and Miramar has Pecado, Sanhok has Bootcamp. No matter how far the flight path may be, Bootcamp will always be the busiest battleground in Sanhok. You'll easily loot enough gear to last the entire match at Bootcamp, but with the swarm of players pouring in like ants, how long will you survive? Another enticing aspect drawing players to this location is the diverse terrain of Bootcamp, with small houses for cover, tall buildings for sniping, and numerous hiding spots for revives if knocked. If you're a player who relishes intense combat, why hesitate to drop into Bootcamp?
