Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds begins lobbing apples round Sanhok tonight

The stag & hen weekend banter of Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds will enter fruity new heights tonight when the brand new 4x4km Southeast Asian map, now named Sanhok, enters public testing. Having beforehand required a key, it’ll launch within the new Experimental Client in a single day (at 3am UK time on Friday; 7pm Pacific on Thursday), a bit extra polished than earlier than – and with the brand new capacity to pelt one another with apples whereas within the foyer. Scrumping? Foodfights? Classic banter. Oi OIII heads up you wankers.

All gamers ought to tonight see one thing named PUBG: Experimental Server pop up of their Steam library, a complete separate consumer used for testing Sanhok. The map continues to be “a couple of months away” from being completed and launching correctly, however it’s trying much more completed than through the closed assessments and is prepared for a wider testing viewers.

As builders PUBG Corp element in the announcement, the brand new model has 4 new areas, together with salt harvesting spots and a chuffing nice cave you possibly can skydive proper down into.

A variety of present spots have been expanded, improved, and polished, and placeholder names are being changed with actual ones. Though the neighborhood vote which determined to call the resort ‘Paradise Hotel’ has been overruled barely “for legal reasons”, and it’s now named ‘Paradise Resort’. You get the gist: it’s paradise, excellent for rowdy stag & hen weekends.

I do imply it about lobbing apples; it’s not some ha-ha-hilarious joke from me. The patch notes state:

• Before boarding the airplane, now you can throw apples (present in your stock)

Laaads! I had missed the larks of firing weapons earlier than climbing aboard, which was eliminated some time again for efficiency causes, and welcome these substitute antics. If new fruits aren’t added as beauty choices, I’ll be very disillusioned.

The changelog additionally notes that gadgets and assault rifles now spawn extra on Sanhok, new Aquarail kinds are in, and the crimson zone will attempt to seem outdoors the white secure circle so “it becomes a bit more risky to play outside of the safe zone.”

Oh, and right here’s an ideal “known issue” the devs are nonetheless investigating:

• Sometimes different gamers seem as zombies.

Too many sambuca photographs, yeah?

This newest take a look at will start at 3am this Friday within the UK (that’s 7pm Thursday within the Pacific time zone) then run till midday on Monday the 14th (that’s 4am Pacific).
