PlayerUnknown s Battlegrounds August Update Detailed; Includes First-Person Servers Xbox One Controller Support And More

PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS is a last-man-standing shooter being developed with community feedback. Starting with nothing, players must fight to locate weapons and supplies in a battle to be the lone survivor. This realistic, high tension game is set on a massive 8x8 km island with a level of detail that showcases Unreal Engine 4's capabilit


Bluehole and PLAYERUNKNOWN (Brendan Greene) have been hard at work on their latest patch for PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS . The Early Access Month 2 Update brings a new vehicle, a new weapon, client performance optimization and much more. The update is scheduled to go live on May 25 5PM KST/1AM PDT/8AM UTC and is expected to take approx. 1 hour to compl


The theory goes that when John was left behind by the gang in a failed robbery attempt, he took out a few of his traitorous comrades before he left, including Arthur Morgan. A good way to fill a plot h


Over on the Steam community forum for the title, developer Brendan Greene (aka "PlayerUnknown") outlined what players can expect from the next Monthly Update for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, which includes a hefty number of updates for the game. Specifically, these include a new car horn feature when driving vehicles, the addition of first-person only servers for the game in Solo and Duo game types for North America and Europe, support for the Xbox One controller, new weapons and character customization options, and much m


That fear is also combined with the fact that so many titles in the genre can feel as "Early Access" as an Early Access title can be. Without delving into the numerous technical and performance issues that can crop up with titles in an early development state, there can also be the feeling of mechanics and gameplay ideas that haven't had the proper time to cook yet, and there's no knowing what a title can look like months (or even years) out from what players have available. That's the nature of Early Access games as we know them, and while that's as much an expectation for what you're getting, it can also factor into the hesitation of plunking down money on a game that is, for all intents and purposes, unfinis


But for as many flaws as PUBG story Guide has, both subtle and incredibly noticeable, it's also the game I've just wanted to keep coming back to month after month after month. By breaking down the core mechanics of survival games into matches that are both intense and easy to hop back into, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has provided a multiplayer experience that plays out drastically different each time, and yet is just as exhilarating each time that I p


The next Monthly Update will also introduce the game's first new paid cosmetic items through a "crate and key system," which Greene took time in the community forum to address. Due to some of the negative reaction towards implementing the system, Greene expressed that the introduction and testing of the new paid cosmetics will "serve as the foundation of a healthy economy after launch," and will aim to "benefit all players - both who are willing to pay and who are not willing to pay for vanity items." However, Greene also addressed that "our messaging wasn't clear" in terms of implementing the new system, and added that the team will "try to communicate better moving forwa


Specifically, Greene clarified with the game's new cosmetic crates that players will be limited in the number of crates that can be received each week, as crate prices will be reset every Monday. Players will (currently) be limited to six crates per week, while trading and distribution of the crates will be free through the Steam Marketplace. Greene also provided some images of new items that can be found in the two new free-to-open crates coming with the Monthly Upd


Likewise, different variants of the maps, such as the "fog map" or rainy versions of Erangel, also give some unique angles to the experience that players of the standard versions can't rely on the same strategies for. Specifically, in the case of the fog map version of Erangel, the limited field-of-view renders long-range weaponry far less useful, while the rainy variant makes depending on sound a more difficult task thanks to the loud thunder in the distance... or in the hands of the right player, makes masking gunshot sounds that can alert other players way eas


What’s really strange is that this feature completely skipped over Redemption since there was the use of the twin revolvers in the very first game. Although nobody noticed it missing, since shooting things was so immensely fun in Redempti


Given the huge scope of PUBG 's maps and the varied terrain inside of them, there is plenty of room for player experimentation and strategy. As I've played with numerous friends over the past few months, I've continually found players utilizing very different ways to getting into the last remaining number of players that have been just as effective as the last. This includes some of my friends that have loved hiding in bushes and foliage to catch players by surprise, while some of the more cunning players I know have done nefarious things like blowing the tires off of roadside vehicles, leaving players stranded and unable to escape the oncoming circle and instead heading towards a slow, painful de
