Beyond this, the devs also hinted at the eventual addition of new weapons and a Tuk Tuk vehicle. For those unaware, Tuk Tuks are three-wheeled vehicles common to Thailand. They're basically an auto-rickshaw, named for the sound their engines make and are commonly employed as taxis and delivery vehicles. Now that a major vehicle bug has been resolved across all the game's platforms, their eventual implementation will likely be a smooth
At any rate, for those hoping that the red zone is going away any time soon, you may just want to start heeding the on-screen warnings a little better…or, maybe, just avoid being anywhere near the red zone altoget
PUBG Mobile features a lot of smart gameplay tweaks compared to its counterparts that help it feel very natural on mobile devices. But while these changes seem to have been made with the mobile version in mind, they could also be used to improve the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds experience on PC and Xbox One as w
Content is king, so it should be no surprise that planned additions to the game were the most prominent part of the PUBG roadmap. First up is a brand new 4x4 kilometer map, a quarter of the size of Erangel and Miramar, designed for faster, action-packed rounds. This small map will come to a new Experimental Test Server in April, but a second, standard-sized 8x8 map is also in development for a 2018 release, but is not yet ready to be sh
Earlier this week, the developer finally gave players on the game's test servers the ability to choose their own maps . PUBG Corp plans to implement this change in the main game soon, and it's not the only addition the game's maps will be seeing this y
One final way the PC and Xbox One versions of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds could learn from PUBG Mobile is by adopting its Missions. PUBG Mobile gives players added objectives through these Missions, which come with additional rewards and encourage different styles of play. Simply put, Missions could give players more to do in PUBG besides just going after the Chicken Dinner, and could potentially lead to a more rewarding gameplay experience for s
"We really want to keep iterating and keep trying stuff, and we have our Test Server, we have our Experimental Test Server now so we can roll out stuff earlier. And it really is about using our community and getting their feedback early on so we can just keep testing and keep moving forward. So the process we built up last year we're just refining now and carrying into the futu
The test servers will be home to a lot of tweaks to gameplay as well. Bullets don't currently penetrate through limbs or vehicles, but this mechanic will be tested out soon. This in an attempt to add depth to the ballistic system and to make the game feel more realistic. He reassures players that they will be listening especially closely to player feedback on that one.
Imagine yourself on the streets Los Leones, the largest city within the desert map of Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds . You’re rifling through the weathered, abandoned buildings, collecting precious loot in hopes of coming across the ever-elusive level three-helmet or 8x scope – when all of a sudden, explosions begin randomly crashing down around you. Before you can do anything, a final blow takes you out, promptly ending your quest for a chicken dinner. It’s then that you realize: you were in the red z
How did this happen? Surely, you took note of the mini-map that showed your icon embedded within the red transparent circle, and heeded the warning of the on-screen notification stating the red zone would be starting soon. Obviously, you took note of the "Warning! Red zone has started!" message, and took shelter within the nearest building. No? You didn’t try to avoid the red zone at all? It may be time to rethink your strategy; a sentiment shared by Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds lead designer and director, Brendan Gre
There's more than just two new 2018 maps in the works, though. PUBG Corp. is working on an all-new emote feature, replete with an emote wheel so players can bow, wave, dance, and taunt as necessary mid-game. New vehicles and weapons are in-development, including the FN FAL. And customization options will continue to be added throughout the year, including skins for parachutes and weap
Nevertheless, PUBG players now have a document with which to hold PUBG Corp. accountable and PUBG Corp. has made public their plans to keep fans happy. And that kind of transparency in development is exactly what fans have wanted for a long time now from PlayerUnknown's Battlegroun
Not all content will be entirely new; much of what's planned for 2018 will be reworked content currently in the game, some of which has been long-requested by the PUBG Guide player base. Of special interest are reworked parachuting and unarmed melee combat systems, both of which have been heavily criticized. Even larger is an overhaul of the entire Third Person and First Person mode animation system to increase smoothness and reactiveness, including new animations for switching car seats or entering a vehi
