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

One common criticism lobbied at PUBG is its poor rewards system. Players are given some BP, PUBG ‘s in-game currency , at the end of every match, which is then spent on crates that often yield lackluster cosmetics. While PUBG Mobile still has lackluster rewards in many regards, one thing it does that other versions of the game may want to emulate is its use of daily log-in bonuses. Daily log-in bonuses encourage regular activity and stand as yet another way to reward players for the time they’re spending with the g

While the lawsuit is one to watch given that it could have significant implications regarding other PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds clones, this isn’t the only reason why people are talking about it. In an excerpt of the lawsuit, PUBG Corp. also admits that the game’s cosmetics affect gameplay. The quote from the developer re

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 developer goes on to note that in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds , players must “visually detect” other players because of the lack of player indicators seen in other shooter games. PUBG Corp. is using this particular section of the lawsuit to assert that games like Rules of Survival have also ripped off the style of cosmetics offered by PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds . These cosmetic similarities, the developer appears to suggest, should be taken seriously because they actively impact the core, PUBG story Guide gameplay experience. It also argues that the visual design of these cosmetics is a “protectable” w

Today’s 2018 roadmap for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is hopefully everything players have been hoping to hear for some time. Certain topics commonly discussed by the community may have been absent from the roadmap, like balance and crates, but those were likely beyond the scope of the roadmap. Also at issue is the lack of a more specific release schedule, perhaps betraying PUBG Corp.’s lack of dedication to these pl

Last week, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds developer PUBG Corp. launched a potentially industry-shaking lawsuit against NetEase , the creator of several battle royale mobile clones. The company accused NetEase, the Chinese publisher behind battle royale games such as Rules of Survival and Knives Out , of violating copyright and trademarks it holds PlayerUnknown’s Battlegroun

Bots could give players the option to play the game completely offline if they so desired, or play in private matches with just their buddies. The bots could also allow less-skilled players to get in some practice and potentially improve their game before taking on real opponents. As long as bots don’t invade the core PUBG game modes, it’s hard to see a downside to bringing them into the g

Since PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds does sell loot crates – with some players also willing to pay excessive amounts of money for in-game cosmetics – some will also wonder whether PUBG deserves to be included in the pay-to-win deb

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

Not long after its main competitor Fortnite came to iOS devices, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds released a mobile version as well. Available to both iOS and Android users and requiring no special invite codes at launch, PUBG Mobile seems to have taken off as one of the more popular battle royale mobile games on the market, and for good rea

However, as PUBG Corp’s comments about the Ghillie suit note, certain cosmetics can be used to benefit players, by camouflaging them in certain areas of a map . PUBG Corp. may have only identified the Ghillie suit as a beneficial piece of loot, but what of the other cosmetic content that players can collect in paid-for cra

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

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 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
