PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUND PC 1.0 UPDATE #18
For those who play PUBG, active or not but do know their recent updates, here's a one where I think would be good for you.
First Part of Update #18
PUBG are now introducing a new vehile to PUBG's most recent map, Sanhok. This vehicle is named Rony, and is sort of a pickup truck (not to similar to the others). This vehicle can only hold up to 4 passengers, unlike the other trucks limiting to a more higher count of passengers as there are seats in the back too in that truck. This vehicle is great for off-roading, as that is what Sanhok is all about. I've also seen that this vehicle is quite fast, so please, be careful of where you drive, and what you can drive into. Here is a image of what the vehicle looks like (first glance at the new gun too):
Second Part of Update #18
PUBG are also introducing a new weapon, and it has a silly name like the QBZ that replaces the SCAR-L, and again, can only be found on Sanhok. This weapon is called a QBU, and which is very similar to the Mini-14, which this time, the QBU will replace the Mini-14 on Sanhok, and will no longer be found in this map, so get used to the QBU! The normal magazine for this gun is 10, but with an extended, it brings it up to 20, like the SLR for example. It takes 5.56mm ammo, which is handy because you can pretty much find that everywhere. Here is a video showing the gun, and explaining its properties, and an image to show what it is like. A little notice, the little stand thing you see, it stays up when you're standing, but once you prone, it comes down.
Third Part of Update #18 (My personal favourite part of the update)
You may know that in PUBG, there are custom servers, and which can only be created by those who are partnered with PUBG; well no more! PUBG have released their open-beta onto the test servers, so anyone can now create their own test server, and have as many of your friends as you may like (limit: 100 players).
But that's not all about the update, no no no! There are several gamemodes you can choose from when creating or joining a custom game, and here are are what they are, and what you do on such gamemode. Note: A minimum of 2 players is required to be able to start your custom game match; you cannot be alone in the match.
Gamemode #1: Normal Mode - Normal Mode is just the standard battle-royal mode, free-for-all as you may say. With this mode, and if you're the owner of the custom server, you can set spawn limits to increase their chance of spawn, or decrease. You can also enable the uses of flare-guns, change the zone intervals (make it faster, slower, delayed when hitting the next circle and you can even set where the end zone is. Note: When changing the timing of the zone, your game limit cannot exceed 70 minutes.
Gamemode #2: Zombie Mode - Player as either humans, or zombies. Only one faction can win. Zombies have no guns, and have to kill the opponents; however, the humans do have guns, so if you are playing this gamemode, I'd recommend you either be a great zombie and dodge all the bullets, or be a good human and have great aim to kill all of the zombies.
Gamemode #3: War Mode - You may have seen several events played on PUBG over the past few months, for example: Shotguns Event Mode was the recent war mode. You can set the settings for types of weapons you use in the match settings in the custom server settings (snipers only, random). You can also edit to allow crate drops to drop, or not and the type of contents found in drops.
Gamemode #4: eSports Mode PGI 2018: I personally haven't played this mode, but the standard eSports rules are applied to this gamemode. Click here to view the list of rules (scroll down to "2. PUBG Cup Rules")
PUBG are still in determination of whether or not to charge people to create Custom Servers, or not when the update comes on the original game.
Final Part of Update #18
They have fixed some more bugs within the server, here is what they fixed:
- They fixed the issue when people tried dragging items from loot crates, or from players or just looting from buildings, and people were unable to acquire the items.
- They fixed the issue when if you had an Extended Mag on your weapon, and your inventory was full and it wouldn't allow you to drop the extended mag.
- They fixed the issue where the camera would rotate 180 degrees upon death, making it difficult to hear/understand the direction of where the shots and/or direction came from.
- Fixed the isssue where some players could see through some buildings in Sanhok.
- The zeroing on the Crossbow will forever remain at 25m with or without a scope attached.
