Not long after the Battlefield V battle royale announcement was made, Brendan "PlayerUnknown" Greene of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds fame, took to Twitter to respond. In all caps lock, the famed game developer sent the Battlefield Twitter account a public message, welcoming the "old friend" to the battle royale c
According to a recent post on PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds ' official Steam page, Bluehole Studio made sure to acknowledge its failings during the Event Pass' availability by referring to all of the problems it encountered, and promised that "these issues will all be taken into consideration during future content planning." The developer went on to thank players for their patience while working out the issues with the new system, and went on to announce the bonus XP event, saying, "But thanking you for your feedback and promising to improve in the future doesn’t help you finish your current pass, so we’ve decided to run an event to help players scrape out a few more levels before the Event Pass ends on 7/
For those who have been out of the loop with the latest on PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds , the Event Pass was originally meant to be a way for players to track progress made in-game – in a similar vein to Fortnite 's Battle Pass – and earn exclusive loot outside of the standard crate system. While it's unfortunate that the feature is not working the way Bluehole Studio intended, at least the developer is offering additional XP for players' troubles. Those interested can find the company's details for PUBG 's bonus XP event be
As for map selection, the developer explains that players will be able to pick just one map on its own (either Erangel or Miramar) to ensure that they will play there, or they can select multiple maps and the game will randomly select
From the beginning, our first map (Erangel) was a combination of in-house work at our HQ in Korea, some direct purchasing of assets, and outsourced art work from a team based in the American midwest. Basically, a few Americans built the Military Base on Erangel. That went so well that Korea decided to build a proper PUBG Corp. studio in Madison, Wisconsin for an in-house art t
Sanhok started out life as a shrunken 4x4 map codenamed "Savage." Scaling back from the usual 8x8 size of original map Erangel and the desert-based Miramar, players have been enjoying the confined spaces and challenge of a smaller and more fast-paced locale. Although Sanhok isn't live yet in the main game, PUBG has been slowly opening up more of its secrets with each PC test period. As well as adding more detail and buildings with each update, fans have noticed more important changes - just like the golden chests. Whatever these chests are will continue being a secret for now, but everyone is praying that it is something more interesting than just another loot box debacle . PUBG is one of the major games still doing random pay-for loot boxes and it's one of the reasons Fortnite is going to continue killing
Update 12 also brings a range of new weapon attachments, each with its own pros and cons. Shotguns get the Duckbill, while assault rifles, SMGs, and DMRs get the Light Grip, Thumb Grip, and the Half G
Taking all of this into account, it will be interesting to see if Bluehole Studio will be able to successfully implement a permanent Event Pass for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds thanks to the data and feedback it received during its initial limited-time launch. If it does get incorporated correctly down the line, the feature could give Pubg Updates a better shot at expanding its current 400 million-plus player ba
The first thing to understand is that if you’re just starting up a team, you’ve got to lean on asset store work because that's the only way you can spin up a game fast, and for a reasonable price, to quickly find the fun. Hiring an art team of 40 people to "try a game" and "see if it's fun" is simply not a smart way to work—this is what the asset store is for! It’s a great resource for teams that want to work sm
These sorts of issues are pretty much always more complicated than the Reddit meme version of the story ("hehe XD asset flip") so keep that in mind whenever you see someone telling oversimplified ta
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds ' next big update, Patch 12 , will be arriving on live servers on PC soon. The patch will go live Thursday after four hours of maintenance that will start at 7:00 p.m. on May 2. The update will also reset the leaderboards and the new season will begin when maintenance e
Many also made jokes about the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds developer issuing "copyright strikes" against the game, in reference to a YouTube policy that allows content owners to issue copyright strikes against channels that have infringed upon their copyright. A few others suggested that Battlefield V 's battle royale mode may bring about the demise of Battlegrounds as the competition will just be too hot to han
