Fortnite may have taken over the Battle Royal fever in the United States but PUBG is going quite strong on mobile in India. PUBG Mobile adopts the same free-to-play model of Fortnite which its PC version lacked. Most of the popularity though also is due to the fact that PUBG Mobile offers a host of options in the settings to better optimize the game for different devices. This really helps its case in a country where most users use budget Android devices. You can switch from a range of low to high graphics as well as change how controls are displayed, feel and behave. One such setting in the game allows users to use Gyroscope for aiming.

What’s Gyroscope in PUBG Mobile?

Most Android smartphones have a built-in gyroscope sensor. The gyroscope can make good measurements of the rotation and deflection motions so that the actual motion of the user can be accurately analyzed and judged. PUBG uses this to allow users to aim using a tilt of the device instead of swiping on the screen with your thumb, which isn’t really a great experience. Gyroscope aiming is clearly not for everyone though. But if you tend to like it, it can improve your the accuracy and speed of your aiming by a few times.

Using Gyroscope in PUBG Mobile and Adjust Sensitivity

So how do you turn on aiming with the Gyroscope? Launch PUBG Mobile and wait for it to load to the main screen. On the main screen, tap on the cogwheel icon in the bottom-right corner to access the game’s settings. In the Settings, select Basics from the right-column if not already selected and on the left, you’ll find options to use the Gyroscope. The three settings you can choose from are Always on, Scope On and Close, which is selected by default.
