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

These strategies will no doubt continue to develop as time goes on and new maps are introduced. Currently, dragunov Damage 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

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

In the same way that Counter-Strike 's early days led to it dominating the competitive scene and Minecraft 's years of beta access led to it becoming a game that defined a generation, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds isn't necessarily the first "battle royale" game out there, but it is the one that's leading the charge on making players fight to survive, and it's thrilling in every

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

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

While generally speaking most players that find better weapons, armor, and supplies will find themselves in a more advantageous position as the game goes on, what I really enjoy most about PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is the fact that being bigger or better is only part of the equation. As much as better guns will be vital to surviving, having the right combination of wits and strategy is also a crucial part of the PUBG equation, as diving right into combat is not necessarily always the solution for every engagem

Over on the Steam community forum for the title, developer Brendan Greene (aka "PlayerUnknown") outlined what players can expect from the next Monthly Update for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, which includes a hefty number of updates for the game. Specifically, these include a new car horn feature when driving vehicles, the addition of first-person only servers for the game in Solo and Duo game types for North America and Europe, support for the Xbox One controller, new weapons and character customization options, and much m

Adjusted squad team colors to make them more consistent between different colorblind options

Added a function where a player can select more detailed criteria for the "Cheating" category in the in-game report

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

The core idea of PUBG is easy to grasp and immediately accessible, though there are additional layers to the gameplay that make surviving to the end (and winning the game's signature "chicken dinner") even more challenging. While PUBG 's roots can be traced to several different "battle royale" and survival games like DayZ and Arma II (with developer Brendan Greene's earliest concepts for this game coming from his work on mods for both of those titles), its success can easily be tied to how it boils down the core concepts of survival into a streamlined, satisfying, and heart-pounding experie
