In PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PC, Xbox One, iOS, Android) there is currently trouble with emulator users in the mobile version. They play the mobile game on PC with mouse and keyboard, thus taking advantage of the poor mobile users.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) has its own mobile version on iOS and Android phones and tablets. The gameplay is similar to that on PC or Xbox One. However, you play the mobile version by tapping on the touchscreen.
So far so good, as long as everyone plays fairly. But there are increasing cases where players suddenly appear with mouse and keyboard and wreak havoc among the poor mobile gamers like a fox in a henhouse.
Thanks to Emulator, Extremely Superior
But how can players on mobile phones or tablets compete with mouse and keyboard? PUBG Mobile does not support these input devices. However, there are emulators that allow you to play mobile games on a PC.
Especially for Android, there are many options, including the emulator program Bluestacks. With it, PUBG Mobile runs smoothly on the big screen. You can also define various shortcut buttons to create an effective mouse and keyboard combination.
Compared to pure touchscreen players, this is an immense advantage. It’s almost like an adult middle-class soccer player facing players from the A-youth.
This is Almost Cheating
A YouTuber has made a good profit with this method and caused a lot of havoc among the helpless mobile users with his keyboard and mouse. His conclusion
“Holy shit, they must be thinking I cheated. I’ll surely be reported for hacking or such crap!”
On Reddit, the topic is being controversially discussed as well. Unlike cheating via tools and hacks, using emulators is not forbidden. Rather, a Reddit user already predicted that soon a large portion of mobile players will play via emulator on PC with mouse and keyboard.
What do you think about competitive mobile games on emulators? Is it okay or cheating?
In PUBG Mobile, some players become sudden pros even without a keyboard and mouse. Here you can find out why that is the case.
