PUBG s Biggest Update Yet Is Actually An Exciting One

Going free and adding a new mode is smart, but will players leave the bigger and more popular PUBG and Fortnite for it? Player attention is easily replaced the by the next better thing in this genre, and big missteps are not quickly forgotten. For this reason, once more battle royale games debut - especially ones from triple-A developers currently stuck in their old ways - start hitting, PUBG could follow a similar path to H1


But that didn't work to rescue H1Z1 from its low player counts and low interest, so the next step - just a week after launching in full - is Daybreak maing H1Z1 free-to-play just like Fortnite as of today. Players who purchased the game in early access get more than a t-shirt now, they also get an "H1Z1 Appreciation Pack", containing the following it


Another example of this is Star Wars Galaxies . The MMO saw release over a year before World of Warcraft , but a mixture of missing features and some truly inaccessible gameplay for newcomers stopped the game from growing. World of Warcraft was able to easily dwarf the player base of Galaxies , and the changes made to the Star Wars MMO over the years ended up failing to bring in major numbers of new players and also drew complaints and allegations of betrayal from long-term fans of the g


Player Unknown's Battlegrounds is different than your typical battle royale game. It was the game that really kick-started the genre's popularity and Destiny 2 Void 3.0 generated a wave of video games in the genre. Most battle royale games follow a similar formula to what PUBG does. You start off up high, land somewhere and hope for the best looking for weapons and items to kit yourself with. Other games have introduced different mechanics to these games like building from Fortnite or a class system (like in Realm Royale) . Other battle royale games have attachments and items as well, but what makes PUBG different is how much more nuanced the approach to these attunements is built. It isn't impossible to make a run for a chicken dinner without making some serious headway getting good gear. At some point, the items and attachments become a necessity. You can't attempt to be number one if you're toast, so keeping healing items on hand is key. Scopes make aiming easier, and also help get lay of the land. Obviously the further you can see, the more of an advantage you'll have. And, of course, classic armor adds another layer of protection so you may stay alive a little while longer. Weapons, items, and equipment are needed to survive in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, b ut, like most things in life, there are some better than others. These are the 15 best items and the 15 most useless items in PUBG . Everything you could look for and everything you may want to avoid as you strive for a winner, winner, chicken din


Another year later, early 2017, and H1Z1: King of the Kill is a force to be reckoned with. It topped the charts of Twitch.tv, was popular among YouTubers and peaked at over 100,000 concurrent players. It was a game-changer, and one that helped skyrocket the idea of battle royale gameplay, allowing PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds to come in and rather quickly take over the market. Streamers began moving over, leaving H1Z1 for the more "realistic" PUBG . PUBG was the new hotness, its creator having a hand in both games. Not long later, Epic Games (the makers of the game engine that PUBG uses) stole their idea and added a free-to-play battle royale mode themselves to fledgling Fortnite and made it available on not just PC, but PlayStation 4 and Xbox One as well. Again, for fr


The number one key to managing your inventory is to remember that you should only be carrying what you need, as your backpack should always remain as light as possible. There is also a small white bar near the backpack that can help indicate the amount of weight that your backpack is currently hold


And trust us, you do not want to be caught by this force field as it not only moves very quickly, but it will also slowly, but surely kill you. It is this fast-paced gameplay that requires you to continually be on the move, which often forces players out of hiding and into some rather chilling face-to-face confrontations. If you are unlucky enough to be caught out in the open, holster your weapon and simply zig-zag your way to safety rather than the all too common straight-line met


After teasing major balance changes PUBG Corp outlined exactly what players can expect from PC 1.0 Update #12 . First, let's look at the balance changes, and then we'll showcase the new additions to the g


Although there's no denying the game's popularity, it's fair to say that the game remains something of a raw experience. Players have ridden over the bumps of poor optimization and various glitches, as the title goes through tweak after tweak to try and get its Battle Royale -esque gameplay pitch perfect. That's certainly to be expected of a title built in the games-as-service model, even from games within AAA development, but when it comes to PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds there are still areas where it is really ro
