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
One final way the PC and Xbox One versions of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds could learn from PUBG Mobile is by adopting its Missions. PUBG Mobile gives players added objectives through these Missions, which come with additional rewards and encourage different styles of play. Simply put, Missions could give players more to do in PUBG besides just going after the Chicken Dinner, and could potentially lead to a more rewarding gameplay experience for s
As people have been quick to note, the Ghillie suit is available to all PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds players for free. Many players also rush to find it in pockets of loot across the map because of its effectiveness and so the suggestion that the Ghillie suit is a useful cosmetic is not necessarily news. But this section of the lawsuit does raise a larger question about how cosmetic loot can affect gameplay even if it doesn't provide any discernible buffs to attributes and st
In the latest blog post from PlayerUnknown himself, the road-map the company is looking at for the upcoming year has been detailed . The goals include everything from game modes and maps, to weapons, vehicles and emotes.
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
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
And while PUBG is taking an aggressive stance when it comes to development, so to is their biggest competitor Fortnite . Even in the past month, Epic Games has revealed they will support Xbox One cross-platform support , a launch onto mobile platforms , a new 20 person team mode , and Xbox One X optimizati
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
News comes from the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds development blog , where the studio was hoping to clear the air and create a prioritization list for the community. The most notable change in the works is a brand new island map that is set to be only 4x4km -- likely the biggest play towards the Fortnite audience. This new map will be available on PUBG 's experimental test server starting next mo
The latest and greatest gaming feud, Bluehole Studios' PUBG and Epic Games' Fortnite , is taking on a new level of competition. The PUBG patch Notes development team laid out their plans for 2018 and it looks like they are trying to copy some of the more successful elements of what Fortnite brings to the increasingly-competitive battle roy
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
"We just implemented ping-based matchmaking which really has improved the gameplay experience for a lot of players. It's working out quite well and we're still doing research. We have the data team looking into it and trying to improve it. And that's the goal with the game, to keep improving it over this year and the next year and the next ten yea
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.
And finally, for you developers out there, Bluehole is working on a PUBG Developer Portal and API that will allow developers to create "compelling resources for players." The API will include match data at the match-level, season-level and lifetime-level, allowing developers to create custom games within PUBG itself. This in hopes that it will help eSports groups create and manage games for broadcast.
