A Comprehensive Pixel Gun 3D Guide – Tips, Tricks & More

Pixel Gun 3D is an FPS game that is extremely popular for its incorporation of both Battle Royale and traditional DM game modes. It is an intricate shooter title that expands and takes inspiration from numerous other shooters and succeeds in creating a title that is both addicting and fun to play simultaneously. Pixel Gun 3D includes a vast array of sophisticated mechanics, complex movements alongside a wide variety of weapons and guns for you to choose from. Moreover, the game also features multiple game modes, with each having its charm. Here are some tips and tricks for the game that can help take your K/D score to the next level.

 

 

Understanding Weapon Types:

 

The game's developers have not been very adamant about defining a particular weapon's type per se. However, the community has voiced its reason. It has classified different sorts of gear into distinct qualities and rarities that help newer and more advanced players individualize weapons much better so that they can find their favorite.

 

Perhaps the most infuriating of the bunch are weapons that are considered as 'Royal Skittles.' Royal Skittles are considered as OP items that require little to no skill. Generally, these weapons have very serious damage and AoE skills. For newer players, these might be a perfect choice. However, you can only get them after a specific grinding amount as they are generally considered high-level items.

 

 

An example of some no-skill / skittle weapons you can aim for as you progress through the game are:

 

• Destruction System
• Anti-Champion Rifle
• Christmas Ultimatum
• Ghost Lantern
• Soulstone
• Corn Launcher

 

Generally, these weapons might not feel extremely powerful unless and until you spend some time with them and understand the particular nuance that makes the weapon powerful in the first place.

 

However, before you get to these weapons, you will need to survive many matches and rounds without having access to them. Therefore, knowing what weapons make sense before you start getting OP weapons is extremely necessary. Here is a list of beginner/novice weapons that you should be trying out in Pixel Gun 3D:

 

• Primary: Assault Machine Gun, Hellraiser, Crystal Laser, Invader
• Back-Up: Fast Death, Dual Machine Gun
• Sniper: Anti-Hero Rifle, Laser Crossbow
• Heavy: Demo Man, Solar Power Cannon, Rocket Jumper

 

These weapons can be unlocked in earlier weapons and generally do not require a lot of capital for you to unlock them efficiently.

 

Upgrading Weapons:

 

 

Upgrading your weapons is an integral part of the game. They consume a currency titled 'Gems,' which can both be purchased and earned. As you progress through the game, you might not be earning many gems, which might make leveling up feel quite hard. However, there are a few tips you can take advantage of that can help you speed things up.

 

For instance, you can work towards Leveling Up, which always provides you with a few Gems. Moreover, you can start gambling and bet in Duel Modes that present you with chests that might have a chance of housing even more gems So, in essence, playing the game in a lot of ways is the best way for you to get extra gems if you seem to be lacking them.

 

Fighting Types:

 

Pixel Gun 3D has been out for a few years which is indicative of the fact that improving your aim is of utmost importance. Therefore, the meta has changed quite a bit since its inception. Currently, there are a lot of fighting styles and types that you can take advantage of, which are completely community-created, with each having its perks and benefits in the wider picture. Some of these styles require a lot more skill than the latter. However, we’re going to be talking about a few that are extremely popular that you should know about and try to learn to get better at the game.

 

Three Weapon Spamming:

 

If you quickly switch weapons from three distinct categories, you are known as a cat switcher in the game. Usually, these weapons are the backup, special, and sniper. Mainly, players try switching quickly between three different classes as they have no pull delay. Pull delay is the animation and time it takes for a weapon to come out of your saddle. By switching your weapons at particular points in an animation, you can completely avoid this delay.

 

After recent patches, switching between three guns is much harder and much less rewarding as the animation-delay increased significantly. As such, veteran players now Melee Switch to avoid the delay. By quickly switching from your primary to your Melee, you can easily avoid animations and start decimating foes.

 

Weapon Switching with LDPlayer:

 

 

Getting the hang of these different fighting styles can especially be difficult for anyone who has just gotten into the game. Moreover, even though you might be a good Pixel Gun 3D player, there is a high chance that you will end up missing a shot here and there.

 

Consequently, you can now use LDPlayer’s Macro feature, which lets you record specific actions and bind them to a key for a computer to execute them perfectly every single time. Therefore, now you can set a certain key bind to Weapon Switch for you or Melee Switch, depending on the occasion, and can enjoy flawless executions every time, significantly increasing your overall gameplay quality. With the help of LDPlayer’s macros and high-performance gameplay, you should be able to get better at Pixel Gun 3D in no time!

 

Conclusion:

 

For someone who seriously wants to get better at Pixel Gun 3D, many small nuanced details must be understood before you can even compete to be in the top leaderboards. Perhaps the game's hardest aspect is understanding what each unique weapon in the game does and how it can be effectively countered.

 

As there is a huge variety of weapons for you to choose from, we recommend sticking to a few weapons that you are confident with and practicing them rather than trying to become a jack of all trades
