A key tone-setting second within the stag & hen weekend expertise of Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds is, if you’re flagging, slamming an vitality drink so you may get again amongst it. It’s essential the drink is a Red Bull knock-off, ‘Hot Bull‘, as a result of it makes clear we’ve spent the weekend consuming and ingesting no matter appears acquainted in kebab and nook outlets. Sadly, Hot Bull’s days are numbered, as the following patch will change the can with some ghastly bizarre ‘PUBG’ model drink. What does ‘PUBG’ even imply? Oh, and new beauty loot crates which price actual cash to open are coming however their garments are principally ugly.
Let’s smash by way of some ‘important’ bits earlier than we get all the way down to what actually issues. The upcoming patch is now live on the test servers, so set up the take a look at shopper if you wish to play. You’ll get some Plunkbucks and keys to open just a few new crates too. Some would say these are the 2 most notable components of the patch notes:
- Added extra objects round La Bendita on Miramar to extend the quantity of canopy
- Reduced the seen distance when parachuting down as a way to take a look at the optimization of server and shopper efficiency on the early phases of the sport
Or they consider it’s essential that the devs say they plan to make “small changes” to the beginning islands to additional enhance early-game efficiency. Those persons are fallacious. The most essential a part of the patch is changing the can of Hot Bull with this:
Is that an iconicised Brendan ‘Playerunknown’ Greene there on the can? Whoever he’s, this may is just too removed from the Red Bull knock-off mould. While it makes use of the crimson/silver/blue palette of the style and the hexes are a pleasant contact, it appears like a beer. Focusing on a mascot–and such an uncommon one!–additionally means the producers are attempting to construct a model of their very own. This is past the vary of designs bleary-eyed lad would attain for to shake off their hangover after an evening of clubbing and 100-player homicide.
I suppose this is perhaps a trademark concern, the outdated can being just a bit too shut for Red Bull’s consolation, however certainly Plunkbat has made sufficient cash to purchase out Red Bull – or at the least certainly one of their surviving generic opponents.
Looking across the datanet, I’m appalled to find that the new discourse is extra centered on Plunkbat’s new loot crates. Baffling. Having examined the waters with the Gamescom crates throughout early entry, builders PUBG Corp. at the moment are getting ready to introduce one other two paid crates containing new clothes. As with different crates, the Biker and Desperado crate are purchased with the Plunkbucks we earn whereas taking part in – however then it’s worthwhile to purchase a digital key to open ’em. I don’t consider the important thing value is confirmed however they had been $2.50 earlier than and I wouldn’t be shocked in the event that they’re the identical now.
I want the crates weren’t paid. So a lot of Plunkbat’s clothes is hideous and there’s so little in whole that I’m sitting on 1000’s of saved-up Plunkbucks. Just a few gadgets within the new crates look good however, after all, many others are xtreme edgy ’90s nonsense slathered in spikes, straps, and buckles. Here, have a look at the thumbnails for the contents of the Desperado and Biker crates. What is with this sport and its terrible style.
Here’s a random snap of some of us sporting new garments on the take a look at server, together with drop-crotch trousers with one outsized knee pad, spiked leather-based gloves with further straps, a polka dot t-shirt which might be good with a greater neckline and if the dots didn’t scale as much as match the chest, textured acrylic turtleneck vests in black and terra cotta, and a checked blazer which would wish an entire totally different wardrobe to help it.
I’m awfully keen on this sport however mate, come on.
As for the crates being paid? It’s unsurprising, I suppose. That’s large fashionable video games for you. I’m not too upset as a result of it’s all beauty, a lot of the garments are ugly anyway, and I can’t think about this work takes significant sources away from the groups enhancing efficiency and stability. But it’s nonetheless a disgrace.
At least the devs have shared the odds of getting each item so we will all see it’s a waste of cash since you’ll probably obtain trash.
