Hello guys! Welcome back to the Netphantomclan! Today we’re diving into something that every PUBG Mobile player thinks they know but most are completely wrong about. That’s right we’re busting 5 of the most popular myths that have taken over the PUBG Mobile community like wildfire. From squad chats to Reddit threads, these so-called “facts” shape how people play the game every single day. But what if I told you that some of the most believed tips are actually misleading you? Take this one for example: “Headshots always kill.” Sounds legit, right? Everyone’s aiming for the head, thinking it’s an instant KO. But hang on—have you ever landed a perfect headshot just for your enemy to turn around and destroy you? Yeah, same here. These myths don’t just cause confusion, they can literally lose you fights. So today, we’re pulling back the curtain, testing the myths, and giving you the real truth you NEED to know.
Let’s kick things off with one of the biggest lies in the game: “Headshots are guaranteed kills.” This myth is everywhere, and it sounds believable. But the truth? It’s not that simple. Yes, headshots do more damage than body shots but whether or not you actually kill someone depends on a lot of other factors. You’ve got to consider the enemy’s helmet level, the weapon you’re using, the distance of the shot, and even the bullet’s damage penetration. For example, hitting someone in the head with a Kar98 from mid-range might not kill if they’ve got a Level 3 helmet it might only bring them to half health. Meanwhile, a sniper like the AWM will drop them instantly, no matter what they’re wearing. This myth tricks players into overconfident plays like rushing into fights after landing one headshot, only to get outgunned. In short: headshots help, but they’re not magic. Know your weapons, know your damage, and stop assuming every headshot equals a kill.
Alright, let’s talk about the Gunsmith a feature we all love to obsess over. Here’s the myth: “Spending resources in the Gunsmith always makes your weapon better.” Sounds logical, right? I mean, more attachments = stronger gun? Not exactly. What most players don’t realize is that not all attachments are created equal, and some upgrades can actually work against you depending on how you play. Let’s say you’re a close quarters rusher, and you equip a heavy compensator and extended barrel to your M416 your ADS speed and movement get slowed down, which is terrible for that aggressive style. Meanwhile, someone else running a lightweight suppressor with a vertical grip might shred you simply because their build matches their strategy. The reality is, Gunsmith upgrades should be selective. Don’t just unlock everything and slap it on your gun understand what works best for your combat style. Whether it’s recoil control, ADS speed, or sound suppression, each upgrade has a time and place. Smarter customization always beats maxed-out gear.
Next up, we’ve got one of the most hotly debated topics in all of PUBG Mobile: “The Holo sight is better than the Red Dot for close-quarters combat.” If you’ve been playing long enough, you’ve probably heard people swear by one or the other but here’s the truth: there is no universal winner. It’s all about personal preference and how your brain reacts to the reticle during fights. The Red Dot sight offers a cleaner, less obstructive view great for fast flick shots and peeking corners. The Holo, on the other hand, gives you a wider ring that some players find easier to track moving enemies with. What works for one player might feel completely wrong to another. We even ran test matches using both sights in similar fights guess what? The win rate difference was nearly the same. So the myth that Holo is always better? Busted. The best sight is the one that you are most accurate and confident with. Don’t chase trends chase what fits your aim.
Here’s a myth that drains more resources than anything else in the game: “Unlocking all the attachments in Gunsmith is necessary for better performance.” This one is sneaky because the game encourages you to keep unlocking—but guess what? Having every attachment available does not mean your gun is optimized. In fact, you might just be confusing yourself with too many choices. The key to real improvement lies in understanding your playstyle and the scenarios you face. Going into a long range battle on Miramar? You want stability, range boosts, and a 6x scope with a compensator. Dropping into close quarters on Livik? That extended mag and laser sight might be all you need. By focusing on specific, strategic upgrades, you not only save resources but also create builds that give you the edge in real fights. The myth here is quantity. But in PUBG Mobile, quality always wins.
Let’s finish with one of the oldest, most iconic PUBG Mobile myths of all time: “The pan can block bullets from behind 100% of the time.” Everyone’s heard it. Everyone’s laughed at it. And yes, we’ve all worn the pan on our backs thinking it’s a literal life-saver. But is that really true? Well… kind of, but not really. The pan can block bullets but only if the bullet hits the small area the pan actually covers. It doesn’t act like an invincible shield, and it definitely doesn’t protect your whole back. In fact, shots that hit slightly above or beside it will still damage you. Plus, it doesn’t help at all if you’re crouched or moving at an angle. We even tested it with sniper shots from behind sometimes it saved us, sometimes it didn’t. So while it’s great for memes and lucky saves, relying on it to survive a spray from behind? That’s a fast ticket to the death screen. This myth is half-true at best but don’t let it give you false confidence in open fields!
So there you have it five popular PUBG Mobile myths absolutely destroyed. Headshots aren’t always instant kills, not every Gunsmith upgrade helps, and the “best” sight is the one you’re comfortable with. These myths have been floating around for years, but now you know the truth. And now that you’re armed with real knowledge, you’re going to dominate the battlegrounds like never before. 💪 But hey did we miss a myth that YOU always hear in the lobby?
