Most PUBG Mobile players land in the usual hot drops: Pochinki, Bootcamp, Military Base, fighting over the same loot, the same way, every match. It’s predictable. It’s messy. And half the time, you barely make it out alive.

‍

But what if you could start every game fully stacked while avoiding the chaos? There are hidden loot spots in PUBG Mobile that most players overlook, and knowing where they are can give you a serious edge.

‍

These aren’t your usual high-traffic loot zones. We’re talking underground caves, secret compounds, and entire cities with high-tier gear that barely get contested. If you know where to look, you’ll start every match stacked with top-tier gear while the rest of the lobby fights over scraps. Let’s get into it, with insights from PUBG gamer Helen, aka DarkSoul.

1. Yasnaya Polyana: The Loot City Everyone Ignores (Erangel)

If you’re tired of the chaos at Pochinki or Georgopol, there’s a better option you can start off at: Yasnaya Polyana. Most squads skip Yasnaya because they think it’s “too far” or “too quiet.” 

That’s exactly why it’s a goldmine. In this location, you’ll find:

• Enough loot for a full squad
• Less early-game risk than high-traffic areas
• Great positioning for rotations into the late game

If your squad isn’t looking for instant fights but still wants top-tier gear, Yasnaya is one of the best places to land.

Pro tip: Loot the apartment buildings first; they usually have better weapon spawns.

2. Podvosto Cave: The Hidden Loot Bunker (Vikendi)

This is one of the best-kept secrets in PUBG Mobile. Near Podvosto, there’s a cave hidden inside a mountain. Most players don’t know this cave exists, making it one of the safest places to get powerful weapons without a fight. But there’s a trick to getting in.

‍

How to Enter Podvosto Cave:

• Grab a vehicle
• Drive straight into the rock wall near the cave entrance
• Boom, you’re inside!

Once you break in, you’ll find high-tier loot, meds, and even airdrop weapons. Since most players don’t know about this, you can loot without fighting for scraps.

Pro tip: Because the only way to get to Podvosto is with a vehicle, a surefire way to tell if you have un-friendly company is the sound of vehicles outside. Listen carefully.

3. Secret Loot Stashes Near Bootcamp (Sanhok)

Every PUBG Mobile player worth their salt knows that dropping into Bootcamp is basically volunteering for an early death. But what if you could get the same loot without fighting for it?

Here’s where to loot instead:

• Underground bunker near Bootcamp: A hidden tunnel packed with weapons and armor
• Rock caves near Ruins: Most players ignore them, but they have solid loot spawns
• Pai Nan outskirts: Quick access to loot, with an easy third-party angle on Bootcamp fights

Sanhok is all about fast rotations and aggressive play, so landing smart makes all the difference.

4. Livik: The Best Loot Density in PUBG Mobile

Livik is different from every other map. It’s small, fast, and packed with loot. If you want to gear up ASAP, this is the place to be.

‍

Best Loot Spots in Livik:

• Blomster: Less contested but full of loot
• Power Plant: Small, compact, high-tier weapons
• Midstein: Biggest city, insane loot spawns

If you’re looking for a fast-paced match where you’ll always be stacked, Livik is your go-to.

Pro tip: Loot fast and move on. Livik matches end quickly, and the circle shrinks fast.

‍

5. Erangel: Mylta Power Plant

Mylta Power Plant is another high-risk, high-reward location. It isn’t exactly a “secret” location, but it’s overlooked because most players go to Mylta instead, ignoring the power plant nearby. 

That’s a mistake.

The area is packed with loot, including assault rifles, armor, and medical supplies, but it’s also a hotspot for enemies. If you choose this location, be prepared for an intense fight. Still, it’s a great spot because of the high-tier loot without the Pochinki-level chaos.

Pro Tip: Land on the outskirts of Mylta to collect initial gear, then move in cautiously to secure loot without attracting too much attention.

Maximise Your Looting Strategy

To make the most of these secret loot spots, you’ll need to think on your feet. Here are some pro tips for maximizing your loot potential:

• Early Landing: The key to getting the best loot is arriving early. This gives you a head start over other players and lets you claim the spot before they do.
• Avoid hot drops unless you’re confident: The best loot means nothing if you die in the first minute.
• Use Livik for warm-ups: High loot density means more fights, faster reflexes, and better practice.
• Stay updated on loot changes: PUBG Mobile tweaks loot spawns over time. Staying ahead of the meta gives you an advantage.

Get Stacked, Stay Smart

You don’t need to land in a warzone to get good loot. These hidden spots give you the same high-tier weapons without the instant fights, letting you focus on winning instead of scrambling for gear.
