Today, PUBG Corp posted another update in the news section of the PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds Steam page. Titled “Inspirations of Codename: Savage – Volume II,” the post describes the developer’s plans for the game’s Savage map going forward. They lead off the post by stating their plans to regularly update the map going forward; stating that “we have months of work left to do.” Most importantly, this update both describes and shows what will become the Savage map’s defining feature: an underground cave sys
Unfortunately, Greene wouldn’t say anything regarding actual details, nor would he reveal any of the new weapons, potential modes or vehicles coming to the game. The update didn’t talk about the Xbox version of the game or loot boxes either, but it did offer some examples of aesthetic changes coming to existing assets – improving the look and level of detail on buildings. The biggest reveal however (the only real reveal) is that of a smaller, 4x4km island map designed to offer players a quicker battle royale experie
Earlier this week, the developer finally gave players on the game’s test servers the ability to choose their own maps . PUBG collectibles 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
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
Some of the PUBG team recently took a trip to South East Asia in order to draw inspiration from its unique geography. One location in particular, the Phraya Nakhon cave near Bankok, Thailand, will be serving as the primary inspiration for the cave system being implemented into the map. As seen in the image above, the cave looks like a giant hole in the gro
More importantly though, PUBG is finally getting a map selection, easily the most requested feature ever since the PC version got the Miramar map. The Xbox One version currently only has the original Erangel map but is getting Miramar next month. Details on how the map selector works and why it took so long can be found here . It’s still being developed but is nearly complete so there’s no time frame
Meanwhile, competitor Epic Games is touting more new modes, another new season of content and a mobile version of Fortnite which will support cross-play with PC and PS4 versions of the game. It’s that rapid development, lack of loot box gambling, lack of hackers, and great communication with the community that’s helping Fornite takeover PU
At least the new map’s potential looks cool and there’s talk of new vehicles (including an armored UAZ found in test files for an upcoming event) and weapons that we’ve seen so few of the last half-y
Some people may have been playing PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds for around a year and still may not be very good, however, the mobile game also has some help in that department. For new players to get to grips with the game, there is a new addition of bots. When leveling up, the ratio of bots to real players decreases, but with their bumbling incompetence, they aren’t that hard to spot. It certainly makes it less daunting than facing 100 expert snipers on a first go, making it easier for newcomers to ease into PU
A lot of the other tweaks that come in Patch 11 for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds on Xbox One are intended to make the game play more efficiently, such as the improvements to the responsiveness of weapon slots and attachments. For instance, players are now able to quickly scroll through it using the LT/RT buttons. The rest of the changes are primarily focused on performance and optimization refinements, including updates to some textures. Interested parties can find the notes for Patch 11 in full at the end of the arti
The popular Battle Royale game (loosely based on the 2000 movie) is an online multiplayer that parachutes 100 intrepid games onto an island in a last man standing situation. Scavenging weapons and taking out opponents one-by-one, the island’s safe zone decreases as the number of players dwindles until only one person is left victorious. First released on Stream’s early access in early 2017, PUBG got a full release by Microsoft in December and grabbed headlines ever si
Unfortunately for Valve, this wasn’t the only problem with CS:GO that reared its head recently. Counter-Strike eSports commentator Matthew ‘Sadokist’ Trivett used a racial slur during a livestream of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds , before going on to suggest that CS:GO community member Don Haci commit suicide. Although Trivett eventually apologised for his actions via a Facebook post, he has nonetheless been suspended from Twitch and it remains to be seen if there will be further ramificati
