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
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
Between this and the armored UAZ vehicle that’s also been announced, it looks like players of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds have plenty to look forward to over the coming months. Exciting though they may be, they will take time to implement; time PUBG really doesn’t need to lose to its biggest competitor, Fortnite . Still, changes and additions like this will go a long way towards keeping PUBG relevant and further defining its distinct take on the genre it launched into gaming’s mainstream consciousn
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
Greene continued to state that although the red zone serves a purpose, the decision on whether or not to remove it from the game – as with all other in-game features – will ultimately come down to the collaborative efforts between the community and the development t
PlayerUnknown also wants to get Battlegrounds onto the eSports scene, but isn’t ready yet. They are in the process of developing systems for broadcasters to use for better match coverage and want to work on it more before letting people use it. The data analytics team at Bluehole is working to improve the ranking and player performance data to make sure they are ready to get into the eSports world as well.
It seems like a lot for one year, but with the amount of people still playing PUBG and the boom that is happening right now in the battle royale scene, PlayerUnknown and the team at Bluehole are in for some stiff competition and they’ll have to work hard if they want to keep up.
The highly anticipated 2018 roadmap for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has been delivered, detailing planned additions and changes for the battle royale game for the upcoming year. The lengthy roadmap broadly covers PUBG Corp.’s agenda, including forthcoming content additions, system reworks, and even thoughts regarding PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds ‘ eSports sc
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 great post to read 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
PUBG Corp further illustrated their plans for the cave by sharing some concept art along with a diagram which outlines its key geographic features and exit routes. The developer didn’t give a specific release date for this addition, saying only that it could show up sometime within “the next couple of testing cycl
The team at Bluehole and PUBG Corp. will ultimately make the final decisions as to what will make PUBG the best game that it can be. However, it is refreshing to hear that the game’s leadership and development team take community feedback to heart, especially as the game continues to build itself out since exiting Early Access late last year, and announcing its 2018 roadmap last mon
The new and much smaller 4×4 km island map will be released on the test server in April. It is meant to give a shorter, more intense experience with the same number of players. An 8×8 km map is also on the way to the test servers.
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.
