10 Best Online Shooting Games in India 2021 (Far Cry 6, Destiny 2, and more)

Here are our top picks for the best online shooting games in India from popular video game publishers like EA games, Activision, Ubisoft, and more. To make it easy for you to download the game, we have included links to video game distribution websites including Steam, Origin, Microsoft, Playstation Store, Xbox Marketplace, and Amazon.

If you are new to video games, here is a guide to help you choose the best online shooting game in India. We talk about the difference between gaming platforms, FPS and TPS, gameplay mechanics, and more. This article will be a humble beginning for you to becoming a gaming guru.

If you give equal importance to gameplay, graphics quality, and smoothness, you would want a device that can deliver the best a video game can offer. The affordable option is a console. Gaming consoles like Xbox and PlayStation are built to run video games in high resolution at high frame rates. 

If you want the same performance from a PC, it will cost you at least thrice the price of a console. Console games usually cost more than PC games, and you will need a 4K monitor to experience the ultra-quality graphics. 

If the configuration of your PC is good enough to run games in the quality you want, go for online shooting games for PC. Console games cost more than PC games. You don't have to spend money on both a console and games if you are on a budget.

Most online shooting games for mobile are free (with in-app purchase options available). They usually load quickly than console or PC games, so you can play them whenever you feel like relieving some stress. 

If you plan on investing in a device that supports some good quality gaming, a smartphone is the most affordable option. Smartphones are extremely portable, too. Check if the online shooting game you want to play supports cross-platform play. 

If you and your friends are on different platforms and if the game doesn't support crossplay, there is no way you can play multiplayer or co-op mode together. In a nutshell, choose a platform depending on the gaming experience you prefer and your budget.

An (FPS) first-person shooter game shows you what your character sees. It's as if you are in the world of that video game. A (TPS) third-person shooter game shows the character from an over-the-shoulder perspective.

You won't be able to move the camera to see the world in an FPS game, whereas the same is possible in a TPS. Suppose you are taking cover or hiding from your enemies, you can swing the camera around in a TPS to explore the surroundings. But in an FPS game, you actually have to get out of the cover to see what's in front of you or around the corner—just like in a real battlefield.

Did you spend money on in-game cosmetics like character and weapon skins? In an FPS, you will only be able to see the weapon skin, while in a TPS, you will be able to enjoy the character skin as well. Not just that, you can see the way your character moves, react to stimuli, interact with the world, etc. What's your preference? FPS or TPS?

It doesn't matter if a game has the best graphics in the world. If the gameplay is cliche or not exciting enough, it's gonna sit on the shelves forever. Find out how to choose a game based on how long it lasts, gameplay, and more.

Taking a break after working long hours? What you need is a game that loads quickly and also starts and ends quickly. Mobile shooting games can load faster than PC or console games. Popular titles like BGMI, Apex Legends, and Free Fire have lots of players around the world, so you won't be waiting long before a match starts.

The shorter the matches are, the quicker you can move on to the next match. Mobile games like Guns of Boom feature short matches that last 5 minutes. A Quick Match in BGMI lasts 15 minutes. You may have a lot of fun playing a battle royale or a co-op game.

But you may not notice the time flying when you are having so much fun and end up finishing the day with a ton of unfinished work. You don't want your love for video games affecting your productivity. We recommend going for online shooting games that feature short matches among other game modes, so you can choose one depending on the time you have at hand.

In a battle royale game, your job is to become the last man standing. You or your team will be dropped into a large battlefield where you have to scavenge weapons and fight other teams for survival while a ring closes in. If you are outside the ring, your health will start going down, and you get knocked down or die.

You can either become a camper, avoiding enemies, and wait to fight in the last zone (don't be that guy!), or hot drop and hunt down your enemies using your skills and tactics. While the concept of a battle royale game is the same across various titles, publishers usually add something exciting to make the game unique.

For example, Call of Duty: Warzone drops 150 players into the battlefield. When you die in the game, it's not the end. You will be transported to a location where you have to fight another player 1v1 for a chance to get airdropped into the game again. Most battle royale games are free to play. Find one that runs without issues on your and your friends' machines.

By co-op, we don't mean multiplayer games that you play can with friends. Online shooting games can also come with a co-op campaign that you can play with your friends. Finish exciting missions, battle bosses, or just roam around exploring the world.

We recommend choosing open-world games. It allows exploring the world, rather than move in a single direction, one mission after the other. Games with co-op modes usually allow voice chat. Playing co-op with friends is a fun way to stay in touch even if you are thousands of miles apart.

A gaming community consists of like-minded gaming enthusiasts. It can be a Facebook group, a forum, or a discord server. Joining communities will give you up-to-date information on the games you love, games that are yet to be released, and real reviews of gamers who bought a game and played it for hours.

If a game costs money and you want to know if it's worth it, you should become a part of the internet gaming community. We don't recommend following YouTube gamers and influencers. Video game publishers may pay them to promote a game before and after its release to increase pre-orders and sales. That's how you can see some YouTubers streaming gameplay months before a video game actually gets released.

Another benefit of listening to gaming communities is to find out if a game has been downgraded. Here is a video comparing Tom Clancy's The Division E3 trailer and the retail version. People who pre-ordered the game after watching the E3 trailer ended up with a retail version with dramatic downgrades to the environment and character graphics. Gaming communities will alert you about such issues.

This is not to listen to what the YouTubers have to say about the game but to analyze the graphics quality and gameplay mechanics. Find out if a much-awaited title is a run-and-gun online shooting game like Call of Duty 4 or has realistic movement and gunplay mechanics like Arma 3. 

Gameplay trailers also tell you if the game has something unique to offer. For example, the core gameplay of Far Cry games is pretty much the same—liberating outposts, hunting animals, and killing the bad guys. 

But the game is still sought after due to its open-world mechanics, breathtaking environments, and soundtracks. If you are tired of doing the same things over and over again in video games, watch gameplay videos and trailers to find out more about the game.

And that's exactly what we have done here.

Don't hesitate to give it a second read if things are clear to you. You can also watch YouTube videos, and join some Reddit communities and listen to what fellow gamers have to say. Learn some tactics in the process, and maybe you will become so good that you will consider a career change.
