For your first match, land near a small group of buildings, collect a usable weapon and ammunition, then move toward the safe zone using cover. Do not stay to search every room while the zone is closing. The goal in Battle Royale is to survive the match; it is not an extraction mode where you choose an exit to finish early.

This route is for Battle Royale, not the round-based Clash Squad mode. Map layouts, equipment and zone timing can change, so read the current in-game map and countdown.
1. Pick a landing area with a way out
While descending, look for a few buildings with space between them and a route toward nearby cover. Watch where other players are landing. If several are heading to the same building, change to another nearby building rather than landing on top of them unarmed.
In a squad, agree on one group of buildings and land close enough to help one another. Do not all race for the same weapon; call out danger and share useful supplies when possible.
The map may show a shortest line toward the safe zone. Use it to estimate direction, not as proof that the route is safe; detour around exposed ground when time permits. (source)
2. Get ready before taking a long fight
Enter a building, pick up a weapon and compatible ammunition, then look for protection and healing supplies. Check your ammo before leaving. If another player lands beside you and you have no weapon, move to another entrance or nearby cover instead of running across open ground.
You do not need an ideal loadout before moving. Once armed, check the map: if the safe zone is far away or the countdown is low, take the supplies you have and start moving.
3. Travel from cover to cover
Open the map and identify a route into the safe zone. Move between buildings, walls or terrain that can block an opponent’s view and shots. Before crossing open ground, look toward the next piece of cover and choose where you will stop.
If shots hit you, get behind cover before healing. Peek to locate the attacker; if you cannot see them or the zone is closing, move toward another protected position rather than standing still searching for a perfect shot. In a squad, tell teammates where the threat is before attempting a rescue.
4. Finish each move with a quick check
Once inside the zone, check health, ammunition and the next zone on the map. Reload behind cover, not in the open. When the zone shifts or shrinks again, repeat the same decision: choose your next cover first, then move. There is no guaranteed winning route; surviving long enough to make the next decision is the useful first goal.
