PUBG Gets More Loot Boxes Faster Than Map Selector
That's not the only good news because according to a tweet by Skin-Tracker, data mining for the new update reveals that new weapon attachments are incoming. New 3x and 6x scopes will be coming, in addition to a Duckbill attachment for shotguns which will increase their horizontal spread. That said, since the developers themselves haven't confirmed these new additions, this information should be taken with a pinch of salt for
Mobile games and controversial real-money loot boxes (that can be traded for real-money value on Steam) have been the focus for PUBG as of late, leaving the door wide open for top competitor, free-to-play Fortnite to become the more popular game, both in player counts and in online streaming servi
There have been more loot boxes added to **PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds ** in the last few months than actual content updates. Thankfully, some meaningful changes and updates are already being deplo
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.
A new update on the Steam community page by the The PUBG Development and Community Team reveals a new pattern of cheats in action negatively affecting the game's desired fair and competitive environment. This past week, the team performed a gameplay data review of 10 million players and completed an analysis of tens of millions of data logs. Their review revealed over 100,000 instances of the new pattern of cheats designed to compromise the game. The team is not taking these results lightly are will be permanently banning the cheaters from the game in a "single wave". They will also be continually checking the data logs, upping security, are looking into adopting a new solution to detect cheaters, and will even be working with investigative authorities in some countries to take legal actions against developers and distributors of the che
The player verses player (PvP) action game pits up to one-hundred players against each other in a battle royale similar to The Hunger Games where the last man standing wins. Each match starts with the players parachuting from a plane onto a massive map representing an abandoned wasteland filled with decrepit buildings, various weapons ranging from guns, rifles, machetes and frying pans, cars, grenades and other gear used to defend yourself and kill other players. It's a fairly brutal game with no music, just the sounds of gunshots in the distance, as you fight to survive while the playable area on the map grows smaller and smaller. The start-up game was originally made for the PC but, due to its overwhelming success, it was recently updated and made for the Xbox One selling 3 million copies despite some glaring issu
The battle royale formula was not entirely the brainchild of the PUBG Corporation - PUBG itself certainly derived content from pre-existing games - but since its success, there has been a trend of other developers copying the pubg updates model. The PUBG Corporation has been openly critical of titles like Fortnite in the past for seeming to be copying their formula, but the company has never fought so strongly against another title as they are now with this lawsuit against NetE
Rules of Survival and Knives Out are both 100-player battle royale games, featuring battles set on an island that players arrive to by parachuting from a plane. The battles, unsurprisingly, feature almost every staple of PUBG , from shrinking "safe zones," to the collection of weapons and vehicles scattered across the
And that issue is only going to become more prevalent later this year as we expect multiple Battle Royale games to start being announced and releasing in various forms. We already know that Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 and Battlefield V should have their own takes on Battle Royale, and that Ubisoft's Massive is likely developing one too. Every triple-A publisher must be, and when the big gaming companies come in with better looking, more feature-full, and better optimized battle royale titles - many of them attached to established franchises - PUBG is in trouble. Especially if they keep milking players for loot box money when these other new games may not have that. And that's good thing. PUBG isn't free-to-play like its current competition, so its microtransaction practices are slimey at b
First, though, he mentioned updates. The team is committing to more frequent updates, with big content delivery coming every two months, and smaller updates coming more frequently. The big ones will make changes to systems or drop content, where smaller updates will focus on bugs. Aesthetics will be updated now and again as well. Bluehole will also launch an Experimental Test Server to help get feedback from players on future content.
