The small Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds map of Sanhok is being revamped as a part of Update 8.1 subsequent week, builders PUBG Corp introduced at this time. Numerous places have been rebuilt, and an attention-grabbing new mini goal has been added. Autonomous Loot Trucks can be driving across the island, dropping crates of drugs as they’re attacked, and awarding notably fancy gear after they’re destroyed. Chasing a robopiñata in my tuk-tuk whereas the laaads within the again blast away sounds nice enjoyable. Today’s announcement additionally brings an enormous boast: the battle royale shooter has now offered over 70 million models.
So, as much as 4 Loot Trucks will spawn initially of a Sanhok match, and new ones spawn as they’re destroeyd. These armoured autonomous automobiles will drive themselves round, and drop crates of apparatus as they take harm. When they’re lastly destroyed, they’ll drop a whole lot of high-level gear, probably together with decked-out weapons which have particular skins and names. But they’re powerful, and pretty apparent targets for all gamers. It’ll be attention-grabbing to see how a secondary goal like this adjustments the form of matches.
The Update 8.1 patch notes clarify the map has “been reworked from the ground up to look better, perform better, and offer more balanced gameplay.” The devs clarify, “We wanted Sanhok to feel more like a forgotten, overgrown paradise while addressing some of the most glaring balance issues we’ve seen over the last couple of years.” I like among the adjustments. Here’s the earlier than/after for Ruins:
And supporting my heartfelt perception that the game is about rowdy stag & hen weekends, Sanhok’s docks have been changed with a row of cheesy vacationer bars, together with the Black Cat Club and the poolside bar Lucky Dans.
Other adjustments… whereas I respect the explanations behind them, I don’t like the brand new flavour. The body festooned with flags at Bhan, for instance, is gone. “While a cool locale, Bhan was underused and a pain to loot,” they clarify. “We’ve removed Bhan and replaced it with a normal set of houses so that we can focus on using those resources for unique locations elsewhere. Due to the more simplified and familiar building layout, this area should now be a more defensible position to loot and control.” And that’s comprehensible however… feh.
The fuel can adjustments initially deliberate for Update 7.2 will lastly arrive in 8.1 You’ll be capable of pour puddles of petrol that may be ignited, useful for traps, and hurl cans round too. A smattering of different adjustments, fixes, steadiness tweaks, and efficiency enhancements are due within the patch too.
Update 8.1 is because of launch on July 22nd, which can even be the beginning of Season 8. If you fancy a go earlier than then, the patch will hit the general public check model on Wednesday.
70 million, eh? That’s an enormous quantity. I’m impressed.
