When two stag or hen events probability upon one another down Espionage and merge, the bottom trembles on the would possibly of their mixed banter and home windows the size of Victoria Street rattle to their roars. I can not start to think about the results if twelve events ought to be a part of forces. We’ll discover out this weekend in Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds, because the stag & hen battle royale will tonight launches its first 50v50 occasion mode. God assist the folks of Yasnaya Polyana. You should purchase some new threads too, because the devs are whopping a wad of Plunbucks in apology for that latest server-sorting screw-up.
This weekend’s occasion is the primary look of ‘Platoon Mode’, the place the 100 gamers are divided into solely two groups. Each facet is made of 5 ten-player squads, all stuffed in with automatch, and easily making an attempt to homicide one another to bits. Players not in your individual squad will likely be marked so that you don’t by accident homicide them.
The occasion will start at 3am on Friday the 19th of October (or for Pacific timezoners, that’s 7pm tonight) then run till 3am on Monday the 22nd (7pm on Sunday for Pacifists).
50v50 modes are my favourites in Fortnite Battle Royale and I’ve already loved Plunkbat’s occasions with eight-player squads (although the banter did get out of hand), so I’m eager to see how this goes. Round up the laaads.
This first Platoon Mode sounds a reasonably easy megamurder however extra complicated could comply with. The subsequent patch will add Custom Match choices for ‘War Mode: Conquest’, a 50v50 mode the place groups will compete to seize and maintain targets to attain factors. Presumably that’ll come as an occasion mode later too.
Update #23, now live on the test server, may also introduce a brand new weapon. The Skorpion is a 9mm machine pistol able to full-auto hearth, which seems like it could possibly change into fairly nifty with an added prolonged journal, Uzi inventory, and foregrip. Maybe not nice, however nifty.
That replace may also make the blue zone wall much less opaque, strolling again a latest change that made it quite a bit more durable to see gamers out within the blue. And it’ll repair some bugs, tweak some issues… it’s not a serious replace, only a small little bit of progress. I’d anticipate Update #23 to most likely hit the dwell servers subsequent week.
I had half-hoped they could have large enhancements up their sleeves to make a daring assertion after the launch of Cod Blopout however ah, sluggish and regular it’s. Though generally it’s extra ‘one step forwards, two steps back.’
Following the recent messy addition of automatic region sorting, the place a bug meant gamers could possibly be sorted onto distant servers the place they lagged, builders PUBG Corp are handing out an apology gift. Log in by Monday the 23rd and also you’ll obtain 20,000 Battle Points plus a brand new hat: a black beanie with shiny purple headphones excessive.
“We sincerely apologise for the negative experience caused by our recent server connectivity and matchmaking related issues,” they are saying. I spent my apology Plunkbucks on Plunkbags that largely gave me the identical pair of sandals, which I can’t say I discovered a fantastic consolation.
