How to win Knives Out! (Part 1)

Knives Out is a third-person shooter that is a free-to-play mobile game based on the battle royale concept inspired by games such as PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds and H1Z1. Here are the basics you need to become the last player standing.

Control on the go

Knives Out has to change up the control scheme because there is no dedicated controller, nor a keyboard and mouse. The movement joystick is on the lower left corner, while the right stick lets you look around. Tap the shoot button above the right stick to fire. There is a button in the middle to access your inventory. Take some time to get used to the simplified controls if you’re coming from PC.

Location is everything

So far there is only one playable map, and the initial landing zone will affect your chance of survival. Skillful players will choose to land in crowded places such as Central City so they can defeat as many players as early as possible. Beginners should land in more remote areas so they can search for early loot in relative peace.
