Understanding the Flare Gun in PUBG Mobile: Does It Actually Work?

In the fast-paced world of PUBG Mobile, players are always on the lookout for weapons that can give them an edge in battle. One such weapon that has generated quite a bit of curiosity is the flare gun. However, does shooting an enemy with a flare gun in PUBG Mobile actually do anything? Let's explore the mechanics and discuss some real-life scenarios.

The Role of Flare Guns in Real Life

In the real world, flare guns are versatile devices. Some models can launch flares several hundred feet into the air at high velocities, often generating significant heat. While these features make flare guns useful for signaling or emergency situations, they do not translate well into the virtual battlefield of PUBG Mobile. Infact, players from the earlier days of the game used to fly with it, but this is not the case anymore.

Players can search online for clips on YouTube to see these historical uses, and subscribing to channels like M2 Maniac can provide further insight into the game's early days and experimental weapon usage.

Effectiveness of Flare Guns in PUBG Mobile

After thorough testing and countless hours of gameplay, it is clear that the flare gun in PUBG Mobile serves a very specific, non-lethal purpose. Unlike in real life, where a flare gun can be used to signal or light the way, the in-game flare gun is strictly for signalling air drops.

Shooting an enemy with a flare gun in PUBG Mobile results in no damage being inflicted. The flare itself would land on the ground, failing to rise into the sky sufficiently to trigger an airdrop. This is evidenced by accounts from players such as the one who accidentally used a flare gun and ended up playing the rest of the game without the proper equipment, which can be quite inconvenient.

The Humor Behind Flare Gun Misuse

While the flare gun is indeed a non-damaging weapon, that didn't stop some creative players from imagining what might happen if it did deal damage. One such thought experiment involves a series of highly unlikely events:

The enemy might be burned before death. An air drop might fall directly on the enemy's head, leading to an instant kill. The air drop might fall on the user's head, resulting in a botched attempt. The enemy might have the chance to deflect the flare with a shield, leading to the user taking damage from the enemy's counter-attack while changing weapons. The user might discover that the flare gun deals more damage than the AWM, a powerful sniper rifle in the game.

These scenarios, while entertaining, are just for the sake of humor and do not represent the true mechanics of the game. The flare gun is meant to be a signaling device and, as such, should only be used in situations where it is intended to be used.

For more information, subscribers to channels like M2 Maniac can get a clearer understanding of how the weapon works and how it can be best utilized in the game. The key takeaway is that while the flare gun can provide valuable moral support by signaling air drops, it should not be relied upon as a primary weapon in PUBG Mobile.
