Gaming is meant to be entertaining as well as relaxing. Games are launching daily for those who want to attract a large user base. PUBG Mobile by Tencent is one of those games accessible worldwide, which attracts millions of users. The game provides unique experiences through its gameplay, the level of difficulty increases at every tier.

Some players engage in cheats by injecting third-party apps/scripts into the game to gain an edge over others. This not only ruins the game for those who play fairly but also destroys its competitive integrity.
