Tencent Games provides countless weapons and equipment in PUBG Mobile to help players make it to the final circle and achieve the Chicken Dinner. Skillfully utilizing these resources leads one to victory. However, one must also hone their playstyle, such as weapon recoil control, and incorporate new moves and tricks to their gameplay, which helps one excel on the battlefield.

These also include experimenting with throwables, such as smoke grenades and frags. An experienced player knows what these items are capable of on the battlefield and, therefore, always carries a substantial number of them in their backpack.

Many players usually don't make the most of smokes and frags in PUBG Mobile due to a lack of knowledge about their skillful utilization. This article helps such players with the same.

Guide to the best utilization of smokes and frags in PUBG Mobile

Smoke grenades

1) In third-party attacks

Third-party attacks can be the biggest hindrance in your way toward victory, as these attacks often catch you off guard when already engaged with an enemy. During such moments, use smoke grenades to instantly break the enemy's line of sight and make things unpredictable for them as well.

2) In open spaces

Smoke grenades are the biggest aid when looting a crate in an open space. Throw one or two around the crate and safely carry out the loot. However, keep moving at your position while doing so, as the enemy's incoming pre-fire can hit you.

Additionally, this strategy can be helpful when reviving a teammate in an open area.

3) Use smoke grenades to switch covers or locations

If an enemy has fixed its target on you and you must change your location, use smoke grenades to create a chain of smoke on your way toward the desired spot. This tactic will hinder the enemy's line of sight, making it difficult to shoot you while you're changing the location.

4) While rushing

Using the smoke grenades before you enter a building to rush enemies is a good strategy. Make sure to cook smokes before you throw them and quickly charge to the enemy. Moreover, you can toss one or two cooked frags after you throw smoke grenades to make your enemy move from their position and get an upper hand in the fight.

For grenades

1) Cook your grenade before throwing

One of the best ways to utilize the grenades in the title is by cooking them properly before throwing them toward the enemy. This gives the foe relatively less time to shift from their position to defend against the explosion. However, cautiously cook a grenade, as failing to time its blast can result in your elimination.

2) In third-party attacks

As mentioned, smoke grenades and frags can be beneficial in third-party attacks. When the enemies enter your building, use smokes to break their line of sight and throw one or two frags in this smoke so that the enemy will think twice before making the assault. Moreover, if cooked properly, frags can even get you a clutch under such circumstances.
