BGMI (Battlegrounds Mobile India) has introduced the new map "Rondo," and here are some tips and tricks to help you excel in this fresh battleground:


 1. Learn the Layout of Rondo

   Study the terrain: Rondo has unique features like rivers, hills, and dense forests. Learn the hotspots, and key locations such as towns, bunkers, and military camps.

   - Use the terrain to your advantage: Always position yourself at higher ground for better sightlines, and avoid open areas where you’re vulnerable to being shot at.


 2. Master Movement and Positioning

   - Utilize cover effectively: Always take cover when moving through open spaces. Trees, rocks, and buildings can save you from enemy fire.

   - Use the rivers: Rivers can help you move across the map undetected. Use them to escape if you’re in danger, but be cautious of ambushes from enemies who might be on the other side.


 3. Familiarize Yourself with the New Vehicles**

   - New vehicles: Rondo introduces new vehicles with enhanced mobility. Practice driving and controlling these vehicles for faster rotations, especially when you need to quickly get out of the danger zone.

   - Always have a vehicle in the late game: If the zone is far, having a vehicle will be crucial. Keep an eye out for a good vehicle as soon as you land.


 4. Looting and Resource Management

   -Prioritize key loot: Focus on getting the right gear like level 3 helmets and armor, good assault rifles (e.g., AKM or M416), and healing items.

   - Loot wisely: Don’t loot everything. Pick up items that complement your playstyle and avoid unnecessary clutter in your inventory.


5. Map Awareness and Circle Rotation

   - Plan your rotations early: Know the upcoming safe zones, and plan your movements accordingly. On Rondo, use the dense forest areas for stealthy rotations, but avoid getting too caught up in the zone while looting.

   - Stay aware of the shrinking play area: Rondo has tight spots, so avoid getting caught out in the open when the play zone shrinks. Rotate early and use the high-ground positions to your advantage.

6. Tactical Playstyle

   - Use the element of surprise: Since Rondo has dense foliage and hills, you can effectively use the terrain to ambush enemies or flank them. Avoid shooting unnecessarily and wait for the perfect moment to strike.

   - Keep an eye on the high ground: The top of the hills offers visibility over large areas of the map, which is a great advantage. Use this to scout for enemies and take them out from a distance.


 7. Team Play

   - Communicate with your squad: Rondo can have tricky terrain and varying sightlines, so communication is key for successful team play. Use voice chat or the in-game ping system to coordinate and avoid surprise attacks.

   - Stick together but not too close: Avoid being bunched up too tightly, as it makes you an easy target for grenades or area-of-effect attacks. Stay close enough for mutual support, but spaced out for safety.


 8. Use Consumables Smartly

   - Grenades and Molotovs: The dense areas of Rondo make grenades and molotovs incredibly useful for flushing out enemies from cover. Don’t hesitate to use them when clearing tight spaces or holding an area.

   - Boosting items: Don’t forget to stock up on energy drinks and painkillers to boost your health and stamina, especially before engaging in fights or rotating through the zone.


 9. Stay Alert for Airdrops

   - Airdrop Locations: Airdrop crates often contain powerful weapons and gear. Make sure to keep an eye on the sky and the direction of the airdrops. However, they also attract enemies, so be cautious when approaching them.


10.Adapt to the New Meta

   -Playstyle Changes: Since Rondo is a new map, the meta may shift a bit, so experiment with different weapons and strategies. For instance, the new terrain might favor certain types of weapons or sniper strategies over close-quarters combat.


By mastering the new map and adapting to its unique features, you'll increase your chances of success in BGMI's Rondo. Always keep learning and experimenting to find what works best for your playstyle!
