While this will certainly be frustrating news for some, the change isn’t without reason. Developers chose to decrease spawn rates on the island in order to adjust the balance on the Northeast side of Erangel and attempt to level out gameplay. Some PUBG players would jump out of the plane and locate a boat, and then immediately head to the island in the Northeast corner of the map. Reportedly, the loot on the island would alter the loot table in surrounding areas. Players would then collect enough healing items, weapons, and protective gear to hop back into the action on the main island with the blue wall as their only real threat. This tweak fixes t
This tool isn’t all Battlegrounds needs to work well as a first-person shooter, though. Players have noted some scaling issues that aren’t apparent in third-person but stand out in first-person. For instance, windows and some vehicles can be too high for a standing player to see through or over while in first-person, while being a good height for the third-person camera. Sometimes shots in first-person hit walls when players aim just above those walls. For the first-person mode in Battlegrounds to work, these bugs will need addressing alongside the addition of the FOV slider, and it’s not clear from PlayerUnknown’s Tweet what steps have been taken for these fi
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds fans are anxiously awaiting the release of the game’s major version 1.0 update, with each new mini-update sparking more excitement in preparation for the big roll-out. Yesterday, Bluehole announced that it would be adding vaulting and climbing to PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds , only adding to the overall anticipation. But today, the developer released an update includes an alteration that may leave players disappoin
“Before we actually looked deeper into how similar [ Fortnite ‘s Battle Royale ] is, we wanted to raise an issue because this is from Epic Games. We could be the biggest indie success story that they have and there will be other indie developers that aspire to succeed like us using Unreal Engine, and they would be concerned, right? So we just wanted to raise an issue and let people know that it can be a probl
Players’ concerns were not entirely unwarranted. Since PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is still in early access, it is surprising to see it implementing a system that can earn the game more money even before its completion. Players may assume Battlegrounds already has plenty of considering how many players it has . Another side of the concern may be that microtransactions at this point will reduce the incentive to finish the game and get out of early acc
This patch is the final live update for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds until version 1.0 is unveiled later this year alongside the Xbox Game Preview build for the Xbox One console. Bluehole does, however, have test servers for vaulting, climbing, and a new desert map planned as the game’s two million players wait for the title to launch in f
However, given the staggering popularity of Battlegrounds in spite of its early access state, the inclusion of microtransactions makes sense. As Greene says, it needs to be tested like anything else to ensure it works properly when the game leaves early access. And with the millions of fans already in the game , there are undoubtedly those who want to start customizing their character right
Tencent didn’t reveal which mobile platforms it’s bringing PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds to, though one has to imagine that both Android and iOS devices will be represented. Tencent also didn’t reveal how PUBG would be altered for it to work on a mobile platform, but fans should expect more details on that front in the coming months. While Tencent was light on details when it comes to its PUBG mobile port, it did confirm that this version of the game would be released in China fi
The point of that story is to attempt to explain why I think even the threat of violence is not something that should be joked about. Given my homepage experience in college, and the fact that The Doc’s threat, even as a joke, synced up closely to a bad experience I endured, it could have brought up bad memories, triggered a panic attack or had other consequences The Doc might not have intended when composing the tw
Considering the immense success PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has enjoyed due to the popularity of its violent concept, some may find Greene’s stance on the matter somewhat hypocritical. Others may acknowledge Greene as simply trying to make a point about being mindful of other people when posting online since you don’t know what they’ve been through. Regardless, it will be interesting to see if this online squabble will continue, or if Brandon Greene will tune Dr DisRespect out in favor of finishing the game in the next six mont
On top of the mobile game and the landmark PC release, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is also scheduled to make its console debut sooner rather than later. As announced at E3 earlier this year, PUBG is releasing in early access as an Xbox One console exclusive on December 12th. Out of all the versions of the game, it will be interesting to see which one becomes the most popular when it’s all said and d
