A brand new weapon and a cute scooter have arrived in Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds in a single day, bringing new methods to homicide and new methods to dwell your greatest stag & hen weekend. Two of us can sit on the scooter because it whines alongside, so that you may need to have a chugging contest to resolve who rides with the bride. The new assault rifle appears a proper good’un too, taking 7.62mm ammo whereas having extra attachment slots than your AKs and your DP-28s – and spitting bullets out at a terrifying price. The replace additionally consists of numerous fixes and tweaks as the “FIX PUBG” initiative rolls on.
That new rifle is Poland’s Beryl M762, which could be discovered mendacity round on all maps. It takes 7.62mm ammo right into a 30-round journal, and has each higher and decrease rails so it may possibly take scopes in addition to grips – consider a SCAR. Except in contrast to a SCAR, it is a murderhose. The Beryl offers rather less harm than the AKM and has a nasty kick, however it shoots actual quick. If you may management that kick, oof, you’re in homicide heaven.
As for scooters, these are restricted to the Sanhok map. They drive slower and switch worse than a motorcycle, but in addition they’re scooters and also you and your friends can kind a scooter convoy driving 4 abreast on a jolly around the island, and what extra would you like?
The three-wheeled tuk-tuk remains to be deliberate to name at Sanhok. It’s late, which the devs say is “due to higher priority development tasks and the extra fine tuning required to make driving experience of the three-wheeled Tukshai feel just right,” however it’s now slated to hit the game in September.
Other additions and adjustments in at present’s patch embrace new choices to have the digicam sit over completely different shoulders, an overview over objects you’re focusing on so what you’re about to choose up, numerous bug fixes, and a report suggestions system that what (if something) occurs to gamers you reported. See the patch notes for extra on every thing.
If you need to get technical, the devs have additionally gone into nice element about recent networking changes geared toward decreasing laggy emotions and issues with desynced gamers taking pictures magic corner-turning bullets. Like trivia? Love this.
Oh, and the ‘Desert Knights’ occasion mode returns tonight. Once once more, it’ll drop five-person squads over a slice of Miramar for War Mode deathmatch with stage three armour and crate weapons for all. That begins at 3am UK time on Saturday and ends at 3am on Monday. I’ve fairly loved that earlier than, although some crate weapons are in fact higher than others. But hey, a minimum of you gained’t get a Tommy Gun as a crate weapon, not like last week’s throwback event.
The devs additionally introduced yesterday that they’re making a ‘Training Mode’ with a particular map together with taking pictures ranges, parachuting, car circuits, and lots of candy jumps. That could be good for apply, however largely I’m in it for the lore: certainly that is the stag & hen weekend out of doors exercise centre that results in the deadly misunderstanding and sparks this entire struggle we replay again and again.
