PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds |OT| Event Pass and New Sanhok Map, Live

By Kabro Go To Post8-man squad. let's go slaent.

UBG’s Event Mode will feature rotating custom games that differ from PUBG’s standard Solo, Duo and Squad modes. The first event will feature eight-person squads with double the assault rifle spawns of a normal game. “We know it’s not a huge change from the public matches but .. this is just to get things rolling,” PUBG Corp. said. “The future of the Event Mode holds exciting things!”

PUBG Corp. said the test will be open to all players and will happen exclusively in third-person perspective on PUBG’s Erangel map. PUBG Corp. did not give a specific date for Event Mode’s arrival; it will be head to live servers as soon as the test build is stable.

The announcement follows the debut of Fortnite Battle Royale’s latest timed special event, Blitz Mode, on Monday. Fortnite Battle Royale added timed special events in early December, around the time PUBG was launching on Xbox One, and coming out of early access on PC.

We are always working towards improving the gameplay environment. This includes providing stable network experience for our players. You all know that we have implemented ping based matchmaking system that has shown great results but we didn't want to stop there.

One of the solutions we are considering is operating servers so that only those players who reside in that region can connect and play. These servers will be made invisible to players residing in other regions. But, at the same time, if a player in an exclusive server region forms a team with a player from another region, they can connect to and play on any of the servers available to either of them.

Through this new approach we are aiming to provide a better gameplay experience as it will improve network issues and help with linguistic barriers. We are going to run a limited test of this approach as more detailed research and analysis should come before global application.

After the updates made to this test build are proven to be stable, they will be applied to the live servers. We will announce the timeline for the live server update soon.

Players can select skins for each weapon
Weapon skin system UI
Each weapon category is arranged in alphabetical order
Weapons can be categorized as follows:
Acquired: arranged in chronological order of acquisition
Equipped: arranged in chronological order of last time equipped
Tier: arranged according to skin tier (descending order)
You can check details about the equipped skin using VIEW MORE button
How to equip weapon skins
You can use WEAPONS section in CUSTOMIZATION menu to equip the skin of your choice
The ways to acquire weapon skins
You can acquire weapon skins either through paid crate (“Triumph Crate”), which is a weekly random crate or “Raider crate”, which is a free non-random crate
When you pick up a weapon during a match that has a weapon skin applied, it will keep the skin
Pressing Alt+LMB will switch the current skin to the one you applied in Customization menu
Pressing Alt+Shift+LMB will switch the current skin to the default one

Bug Fixes

Fixed an issue where the refresh button on the friends list would take you to the team tab when players are in a team
Fixed an issue where when players leave the vehicle and the vehicle is positioned right next to the window of a building, players would go into the building through the window when getting out off the vehicle
Fixed an issue where during server instability, when exiting a slow moving vehicle, the players would be treated as if they were hit by their own vehicle

Flare Gun is a special weapon that can be used to call in a care package to your location. Just aim it up, fire the flare and the airplane will drop a superior care package on that location. Only a limited number of Flare Guns will spawn in small single-story houses throughout the map (at this time only in Event Mode), but finding one is going to be worth your time!

Event mode starts: Mar 29 7PM PDT / Mar 30 4AM CEST / Mar 30 11AM KST
Event mode ends: Apr 1 7PM PDT / Apr 2 4AM CEST / Apr 2 11AM KST

Hello everyone!

If you’ve been keeping up with all things PUBG, you may have already seen some screenshots and even a short clip from our upcoming 4x4 map. We promised you that you would get a chance to try the new map very early on and we are delivering on that promise. We haven’t released content so early in its development since our alpha testing stage. We’re doing this because we want to start getting your feedback as soon as possible and drive the development in the right direction.

So, how is it going to work?

At first, we are going to do a more limited test for Codename: Savage to make sure that nothing is too broken. Again, it’s a super early build, we hope you understand. The next test will be bigger!

The first testing window will open from the 2nd of April, 7pm PDT until the 5th of April, 4am PDT.
