Here are some excellent ways to use the Emergency Cover Flare in PUBG Mobile:

Use it when stuck in an open space

Using the Emergency Cover Flare can be life-saving in an open space. Unlike smoke grenades in PUBG Mobile, which break the enemy's line of sight for a few seconds, the flare provides a permanent cover under which you can wait for help or snipe foes down.

To retreat to a safe place

Enemies tend to hinder your movement from one spot to another when the circle shrinks in. In such a situation, you can turn to the Smoke Grenades as well as the Emergency Flare.

Make a chain of smoke on your way to the safe spot and use the Emergency Flare for complete safety. This will also allow you to momentarily stand amidst the smoke to locate enemies.
