The moonlit model of Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds map Vikendi has launched in the principle model of the game, after per week on the test server. Green rays of aurora borealis dance throughout the sky, the moon hits your eye like an enormous pizza pie, and the mid-sized snowy map doesn’t play too in another way but it surely does look jolly good. This replace additionally reworks merchandise spawn charges on Vikendi, making assault rifles extra widespread whereas SMGs and DMRs turn into much less so. Vikendi and Erangel get a brand new SMG too, although the tracked snowbike additionally resulting from hit Vikendi on this replace has been delayed.
I solely performed a bit of moonlit Vikendi throughout testing as a result of being sorted onto the Asia take a look at server means it’s all kinda a multitude and laborious to get a really feel for. As of this morning, the random climate variant is now in the principle game and around the globe, because of the honking nice 9GB replace. But I do really feel assured saying it’s fairly.
Vikendi’s snowbike was on the take a look at servers and speculated to launch with this replace, however builders PUBG Corp have held it again “due to some gameplay issues that need to be fixed.” They’re in all probability referring to the way it can generally freak out fling its rider at nice pace to their loss of life. The snowbike ought to launch in a future replace “once the issues have been resolved.”
See the Update #25 patch notes for full particulars on the replace’s steadiness adjustments (together with making armour extra sturdy), new weapon sight attachment, and rejigged merchandise spawns.
I’m nonetheless hoping for extra climate variants which make massive adjustments to how Plunkbat performs. Erangel’s sadly-removed fog variant dominated out long-range homicide and introduced many horrible surprises from bumping right into a squad you couldn’t even see, creating tense circles in the direction of the top when 20 gamers cram right into a tiny house with no thought the place anybody else is. The dynamic climate system launched with the Sanhok map, drifting between rain and fog and solar and cloud, is good however not the identical.
A number of different issues are at present on the go at Plunkcorp. They’re testing a free-to-play version for slower PCs, although it’s solely in testing in Thailand and should not even launch correctly there not to mention worldwide. They’re additionally investing stories of a pret-ty severe invisible player bug.
If you’re nonetheless Plunking laborious, you would possibly take pleasure in gloating with the site which shows your kills on (or from) Twitch streamers.
