Likewise, the actual design and visuals of PUBG are equally a mixed bag. Character models in particular take on some odd qualities and though players can customize them to their liking, they aren't exactly stellar looking and the cosmetic options that the game provides (even with loot crates and microtransactions) are limited, at best. The maps are perhaps my favorite aspect of the game's aesthetic as their vast draw distance and varied terrains are impressive, other than the occasional low-res textures or copy-pasted building and town layo
These strategies will no doubt continue to develop as time goes on and new maps are introduced. Currently, PUBG has only two maps: the Eastern European-styled Erangel map (which is the game's original map) and the newly-released Miramar map that pits players inside of a mountainous desert valley. While by comparison to most other shooters this might be paltry, the size and depth of what the maps offer provides thousands of different ways to obtain vict
Pushing past six million copies in the past few weeks, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has dominated the Steam charts throughout this year alongside continued monthly updates, with the game's upcoming August updates to be one of its most expansive
For those that don't know much about the title and/or have lived under a rock in the past few months, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is an Early Access Survival Tips Battlegrounds shooter that pits 100 players against each other in typical survival game/ Battle Royale fashion, developed by Korean studio Bluehole and Brandon Greene, the titular "PlayerUnkno
A new post on the community forums for PUBG on Steam revealed that a new update will be heading to the game's PC version, hot on the heels of the recently-released patch for the Xbox One version of the title. Specifically, the new update packs in bug fixes and seeks to address more of the game's technical performance, while introducing some new cosmetic changes, such as a new design for the energy drink so it looks less like a knockoff Red Bull
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
Outside of the game's more randomized elements, as a shooter PUBG 's combat feels breakneck and challenging. Coming from the lineage of military sims like Arma , death in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds comes quickly as it only takes a few shots to take down most players (or potentially only one with a well-aimed headshot). This quick time-to-kill though comes down on both sides, as PUBG employs several elements to keep the combat and gunplay as unpredictable as the environments. That aspect of the combat comes through bullet drop and the varied amount of weapon attachments and upgrades that can be tailored to specific players' preferences, whether they opt for being more efficient at long range or close range, and m
Over the past few days, I've dipped my toes into PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds partly out of curiosity and partly because of my friends that have become obsessed with the title. While I'd known about it for some time since its availability in late March, the noise surrounding Battlegrounds has only grown over the past three months, especially considering the fact that it has sold over 4 million copies alone since its Early Access de
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
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
Earning a chicken dinner victory in PUBG can come just as effectively from players that are aggressive and go after other players the moment they see them as they can from players that are deliberate and careful. A big part of that comes from using the environment to your advantage -- snipers that find manage to find a great hill or mountain can easily use that to their advantage to pick off players from a distance without ever knowing where they are. Likewise, setting up an ambush in a crowded city can also work to your advantage by keeping players guessing as to your location. Heck, avoiding combat altogether can sometimes be the best solution, as you sneak by while a passing enemy gets into a confrontation with another pla
