Your position is already good, your aim is on point, but you still lose to players hiding in the grass? The problem isn’t your skill, but it’s your playstyle not adapting to opponents who often go prone. This technique is commonly used in the final safe zone, where players blend into the environment to increase their chances of winning.

Turns out, there are several ways to counter this strategy! Curious? Check out the tips below!

Use Crouch Position

You shouldn’t go prone just because your enemy does. It’s better to stay in a crouch position so enemies remain visible. If you go prone, you’ll actually become easier to spot from high ground or long distances. Plus, your vision can be blocked by grass when aiming or scoping.

Take Cover Behind Hard Cover

Hard cover refers to objects like trees, large rocks, or compounds. Taking cover behind them helps protect you and conceal your position from prone enemies. It’s better to stay crouched or standing so your movement isn’t limited. You can also observe enemy movements more easily from behind cover.

Position Yourself at the Edge of the Zone and High Ground

The zone keeps shrinking as the game progresses. When it gets smaller, position yourself at the edge of the zone and try to secure high ground. This gives you a wider view to monitor enemies and surroundings. Prone players will also be easier to spot.

Bait the Enemy Out

If you can’t locate the enemy, try baiting them using utilities like grenades or gunfire. The goal is to trigger a reaction. Throw utilities toward suspected areas where enemies might be prone so they reveal their position.
Wait for Fights to End and Become a Third Party

If there are still several players left and your position is good, wait for others to fight each other and observe the direction of gunfire on the map. Their positions will eventually be revealed, and prone enemies need time to recover. That’s your moment to jump in as a third party and eliminate the remaining enemies to secure your Winner Winner Chicken Dinner.

Frequently Asked Questions About Countering Prone Players in PUBG Mobile

Question	Answer
Why shouldn’t you go prone if the enemy is already hiding in the grass?	Going prone limits your movement and your scope can be blocked by grass, while your silhouette is still visible from long distances or high ground. Staying crouched or standing allows faster movement and better shooting angles.
How do you force enemies hiding in grass to move?	Throw smoke grenades to block vision, then reposition diagonally. You can also use frag grenades or molotovs toward suspected enemy spots. Explosions or fire will pressure them to move and expose themselves.
What’s the safest position in endgame when the zone closes into grassy areas?	Take hard cover at the edge of the zone. Being at the edge gives you wider visibility, helps you track enemy rotations, and reduces unexpected attack angles compared to staying in the center.
Does CBN have a gaming community?	Yes, CBN has the CBN Gaming Community (CGC), a place for gamers to connect. CGC regularly hosts activities every month, including PUBG events.
