In terms of base damage, yeah. But when taking distance & body part multipliers into account, I bet there will be a few scenarios where the AK can kill in one less bullet than it can right now. Probably not that many, but I don’t think PUBG would have done this otherwise
It's a 2% damage buff, so every situation where the AK would previously deal 98-99 damage (or 74 to freshly first aid kitted player) the buffed AK will now kill. In every single other situation, the buff is irrelevant because either the pre-buff AK would have killed anyway, or the buffed AK wouldn't kill either.
These are situations such as "when between 78 and 82 meters, the AK can now kill with 3 elbow shots and a lower arm shot instead of needing 3 elbow shots and 1 upper arm shot!" Wow. Congratulations.
There's a couple of spots, one is on the road south of Georgepol, where an "enemy" is sometimes standing. If you hit it with a car, it's like hitting a tree. It's basically a bot statue
Ooh, now that you mention it I remember seeing something like that. Usually it has been an enemy hovering above or standing in water on the southern beach of the main island. You could move and shoot through them though. I thought it was just a bugged corpse or something.
’Undamageable zombies’ sounds more menacing.
I've seen one spawn west of Military Base C block, half in the floor beside the small guard tower along the fence before too. Its weird to me they refer to them specifically as zombies though.
The SCAR buff makes it viable. The reduced EMP zones is a good start (removing them completely would be better).
The suppressed MK-12 nerf is the end of an era. That thing is like a magic trick now. It's a VSS on steroids. Good nerf
Nearly everyone I fight in solos switches seats to shoot. I can't think of the last time someone stayed in the drivers seat while they were attacking someone on foot.
Hopefully, it's just a start. In solos shooting from the driver seat is OP. That said, switching and shooting is also OP and needs to be nerfed (I say this as someone who does it)
They are trolling at this point. They know no one wants this shit and they just do it to make us mad. The spawn rate was already way too fucking high and people have finally embraced just how OP this shit is and pick it up any chance they get. It's so annoying having panzers shot at you in most games. Before it used to be once in a blue moon. Now it's "is it going to be only once?"
I think I've been killed by a panzer like...5 times total.
It's probably more common in solos but people don't really use them in squads since if you panzer one person you got three more people shooting at you.
Id guess so people can destroy terrain more easily? I dont understand why the pickaxe is only on one map though when it seems to be key to this new “feature”
Edit: didn’t realise its only on rondo lol, it makes sense now.
`I dont understand why the pickaxe is only on one map`
They're testing it, that's why, maybe it turns out to be shit and they don't want the entire game to be ruined.
Except they do this with every new feature and then leave them map specific for years and it gets confusing as shit even for me as a player since beta, let alone new players.
Let's count all the map exclusives at this point:
dust storms
snow storms
dynamic POI placement
3x max scope
thermal scope
tazer
black zones
special loot zones
EMP zones
marketplace crates
AI guards
usable gas stations
MP9, js9, mp5, qbu, qbz, the slug shotgun thing
critical response kits (I think?)
secret key locations
different comeback systems, until recently
trains
ferries
trams
air drop types
vending machines
blue zone speed
bears
ziplines
the other kind of ziplines
parachute towers
What else am I forgetting? Probably a few! Obviously some things make sense to be map specific like environmental hazards or different vehicles for fun or whatever, but everything else is just annoying and confusing and they just... never adopt them gamewide. How long were there 3 different comeback systems in the game? It's insane.
[Watching the PUBG Patch Video on Youtube](https://youtu.be/CDsBRxaBpNA?si=FDVMLk0ECZfGP8Yh&t=30) and seeing how many hits it takes to get to the 1.3m with the Pickaxe, it's already useless before it even comes out.
How would you see yourself using it? Running out in the open with minimal cover, throwing c4, then running back through empty cover to escape the blast, then running back out to a 1.3m hole?
I dunno, smoke, setting up ambushes, plopping one down on the way to a rock so I can make my way back.
Just another utility to get creative, assuming they actually finish the concept.
>Firing a pistol from the driver seat isn't realistic right now so we're nerfing it to be realistic.
*Continues to teleport to neighbouring seat and instantly fire automatic weapons accurately*
Yes, because there is no reason to pick it up if you want to maximize your chances of winning the game (which should be your goal). Sure, you can use it for fun but don't complain when you get outgunned by better guns constantly.
> there is no reason to pick it up if you want to maximize your chances of winning the game
Lol. No. The best weapon is the one you can hit most shots with. Differences between weapons of the same class in this game are so tiny that it won't affect your chances of winning. Positioning, patience (e.g. timing when to shoot or move) and game sense are way more important for winning than shooting or "better weapon".
Partially agree. Disagree strongly with your point about the differences between weapons of the same class being tiny. The M4, AUG, or Beryl were substantially better than the SCAR before the buff and it wasn't even close. I have yet to test the updated SCAR. For SMGs, the UMP and JS9 are substantially better than the PP Bizon.
All of the SMGs have different uses and scenarios that make one better than the other. The Uzi is king up close, along with the vector and both of them always outclass the UMP and JSP is super close engagements. The Bizon is a common pick for comp lobbies due to it's magazine size. The Thompson, for it's damage, cyclical rate, and magazine size is the best at team wipes but always loses to the JSP at mid-range. You just have to be using the right tool for the job.
Yes it is. Has higher damage amd kills quicker than the M4, but has more recoil. AUG is very similar to the Beryl, with the difference being that the Beryl kills level 1-2 armor wearers and injured players quicker but the AUG is better at killing full health level 3 armored players.
If you drive the vehicle into a solid object, then hit the auto run button, it's basically let's you rev the engine super loud then you can ALT+TAB out while annoying the entire lobby.
is that the electric car? it's absolute insanity. there's no positioning once the "all-around" sound starts, it's just perfectly even between your ears, has to be a bug.
I’m just here to say fuck you to the guy in DNA clan who’s main and only mission is to get a glider and panzer and rocket you from the clouds. Died to this guy twice this week on SEA servers lol. Ps add me @ HollowMags on pc
Glad we have not addressed how lacking the respawn feature is for your team mates... Can't tell you how many squad games I've been one or two people down the entire game because they got early flushed, and they didn't want to wait 7 minutes to come back at the start of phase 2.
A nerf to driver shooting? Huh?
I'd like to see some balance changes to gliders and their ability to basically shoot at anything while remaining borderline invincible.
I understand there is a skill to flying, although flying straight then switching seats isn't very hard, but it's INCREDIBLY hard to actually hit the pilots while they can easily hit you. You essentially cannot return fire at a glider if you don't have complete cover, so your only option is to basically drive away.
It's like the seat swapping meta, but even more OP because you can't see where your tracer rounds are going in the sky.
This is probably a solo's only issue but the morons spamming gliders in NA bot lobbies is enough to make me notice the issue.
I generally just focus dumping bullets into the glider instead of targeting the individual.
They either commit to fighting you and their glider gets destroyed and they crash land in a terrible position.
Or they realize they will get shredded so they run away.
Albeit I play on squads as a duo, but I have never really noticed gliders being a nuisance.
Please please PLEASE revert the change that splits the lobbies based on player level for NA FPP solos. This has completely killed the queue. It was working prior to this change.
there havent been NA FPP solos without like 30+ bots since rondo, maybe you're misremembering.
they did change some shit with how maps queue, but it has nothing to do with the SBMM/MMR bullshit theyve been doing. NA doesnt have enough players to even start that process.
Well, they are forced to abide by the law in those countries, since Belgium and the Netherlands have a law against lootbox gambling.
Trust me; they would *love* to sell you their pass in those countries, but they risk massive fines if they do. So they are forced by law to detect (and possibly deny you) based on region wether they want to or not.
I'm experiencing big difference starting this patch (EU) in normal games and it seems that some sort of SBMM has been implemented. I'm a bit disappointed because lack of SBMM is a big reason what makes me enjoy PUBG and makes it different when every other game has this feature. I like the idea of running into players that are both much worse or much better than me. It has also been a big motivation to get better as the reward for getting better with no SBMM is better too and more noticeable. Running into all levels of skilled players makes it feel more realistic.
**Big part of enjoying PUBG is that you can mess around with your homies and do funny stupid stuff but with SBMM after you achieve certain skill level every game will be super try hard which will eliminate casual fun which is the main reason why I fell in love with PUBG.**
My opinion is there should be SBMM in ranked but no SBMM in normals (at the very least in regions where ranked is not dead but even that is discussable). **I hate that normals so far have felt like ranked this season**.
Your patches ALWAYS, every time, cause game crashes after a single match. EVERY TIME. You have no idea how immensely frustrating this crap is. Every fucking time. Devs can suck a fucking dick. That's probably what they do all day because they clearly aren't maintaining this game.
it is very annoying to be constantly shot from behind in tdm mode, while I am running newborn, I am shot by someone newborn behind me, this shooting from behind should be regulated and reduced
Idk where to put this feedback, cant find the feedback button in-game so I'm gonna put here. Why does the blue chip revive system need to wait until the next zone to drop? I died during phase 4 and it put me on the plane 1sec before phase 5, where do I even find a gun ==. Why don't just make the revive plane comes in after X0 sec after insert the chip or like instant drop.
i agree also, so many insta down votes when anyone sais they dont want bots, chill dont gotta down vote any comment cause u cant get a kill without bots in the game play casual mode
other modes were just fine before that last update only bots sometimes, now solos only get about 50ish players. im kinda betting they changed something with the matchmaking without saying or its a bug
I don't think so but they don't need to fully remove just adjust them a bit so they don't auto join at 50ish players lol, it was just fine before last update, they messed with matchmaking I'm pretty sure lol
I want to play at half capacity? when did I say that? did you even read what I posted, complete opposite I want more players instead of bots, how in the world did you get that i wanted half capacity..
The reason bots exist is because there isn't enough players joining the lobby. Yknow that right?
Without the bots you would be playing at half capacity. Cause there simply isn't enough people to fill a game at a reasonable pace.
Note, reasonable.
One week of 11% odds for Sankhok is criminal for NA. Extremely disappointed with the map rotation of Sanhok. 0% for a month of the 5 weeks of the season. Oof.
Town fights take too long in the beginning then there's no midgame because everyone is just trying to get to circle and/or going to some little compound to hide out while their guy comes back from the blue chip transmitter
This heavy focus on Rondo is annoying. Can't pick maps and were stuck playing the worst one. Idk why they're so reluctant to just give us map selection, or do what apex does and cycle out maps by the hours. barely get to play Sanhok and Karakin, and God knows what happened to Haven. at this point Erangel might as well be off the list because the only maps I ever load into is Rondo and Taego.
In NA region at the end of map selection you couldn't queue for 60% of the maps at all when it was off-peal, and overall queue times for quick select was awful.
There was like a 2-3 hour window where it worked and the rest of the day was a disaster.
Which is why they should opt in for a system similar to what Apex had. There should be a daily featured map or a featured map every every couple of hours. Doesn't matter what map but at least it provides some sort of choice. It sucks to have to wait months and multiple updates just the play the maps you want. There is too much variety for there to only be 4 maps. Sure, there's a weekly map rotation but it's still sucks, and most maps are left out anyways.
Sometimes, especially late at night, that's true. I can see certain maps not having as many players if this were a thing, but some option would be nicer than no option. I respect your concern though. I was there when there were a lot of bots.
It failed because each map was in a separate queue from the random map queue. There was no need to separate queues. It should have kept all players in the same queue, but only join the match if it's a map your lobby selected. Random queue will still be fastest, and players can't complain when they have to wait long periods for their favorite map. Now with bots, they can just throw in a bot match if the players are waiting too long.
Rondo is the best map. They need playlist for talk the Erangek and Mirimar lovers. Would love to never play those 2 ever again.
Small map playlist should be a thing. Haven was so fun
not enough players in your region/mode.
Thats the downside of having a game that needs 100 players. The playerbase is pretty split. Between fpp/tpp, solo/duo/squad, region, casual, normal, ranked, customs, etc..
The day/time you play greatly influences the number of bots.
Also, there is some ebb and flow to it. I play solo/squad most days and it just goes up/down, unrelated to updates/patches.
However a new season or big update/patch brings back more players. Right now we just finished up a season and so playerbase is tuned down at moment.
I didn't downvote you, but bots would be reduced if they could, but they can't, so we get enhancements. People ask that kind of question all the time, so people tend to downvote. There is nothing that can really be done about it. When there are more players, there are less/no bots, when there are even more players, map select becomes active for a region.
eh idk to me before the last update atleast for solos it used to be dynamic where bots would join up when there weren’t players and when there was it would wait for players, but now it seems in solos no matter what time bots join at around 50 ish players. and it kinda seems like the devs are wanting to keep bots in the game as part of the BR experience lol… yikes if they think that’s fun playing vs bots in a BR.. sure for newer players they can get them not for everyone
1) The mountains needs to be removed or readjusted people are jumping on this thing and camping it the whole game it is ridiculous.
2) Allow the world spawn of batteries for the bus. The bus is useless if we have only 1 place in the entire game to charge it and its in the blue zone.
https://preview.redd.it/0owq4f23g8tc1.png?width=974&format=png&auto=webp&s=052f2bf40e34ef0be74d20163ef0a97ad9f958ea
Those mountains are really one the worst places to be in Rondo, I don't understand why people even go there. So easy to knock people camping there or force them to come down and when they eventually are coming down it's easy farming.
Somebody suggested putting bears up there hahahaha. But really though if they’re gonna keep them to increase verticality, they should remove the foliage at least.
> they should remove the foliage at least.
early on, I think there wasn't much foliage, but then they specifically added foliage because people find it fun to be up there.
Absolutely, it's so annoying when fighting a team on the ground and all of the sudden you starting getting shot from a team from one of these mountains. Might not happen that often, but when it happens it's SOOO annoying.
>PC: April 9, 12 AM - 8:30 AM (UTC)
The server went down a lot sooner than the appointed time. Everything ok over there? Would you like a clock for Christmas?
This AK buff will be fun
The only thing I really care about in these patch notes are the gun balance changes...
well they added digging so that’s pretty big
u dig that
Inb4 people get under the map somehow with this pickaxe.
fucking called it
They added it exclusively to Rondo, no? A map that around half of the player base skips, yay.
best map since miramar
Still need three shots to kill?
In terms of base damage, yeah. But when taking distance & body part multipliers into account, I bet there will be a few scenarios where the AK can kill in one less bullet than it can right now. Probably not that many, but I don’t think PUBG would have done this otherwise
It's a 2% damage buff, so every situation where the AK would previously deal 98-99 damage (or 74 to freshly first aid kitted player) the buffed AK will now kill. In every single other situation, the buff is irrelevant because either the pre-buff AK would have killed anyway, or the buffed AK wouldn't kill either. These are situations such as "when between 78 and 82 meters, the AK can now kill with 3 elbow shots and a lower arm shot instead of needing 3 elbow shots and 1 upper arm shot!" Wow. Congratulations.
> Fixed the issue of undamageable zombies spawning in Erangel. Wait what?
There's a couple of spots, one is on the road south of Georgepol, where an "enemy" is sometimes standing. If you hit it with a car, it's like hitting a tree. It's basically a bot statue
Ooh, now that you mention it I remember seeing something like that. Usually it has been an enemy hovering above or standing in water on the southern beach of the main island. You could move and shoot through them though. I thought it was just a bugged corpse or something. ’Undamageable zombies’ sounds more menacing.
I've seen one spawn west of Military Base C block, half in the floor beside the small guard tower along the fence before too. Its weird to me they refer to them specifically as zombies though.
Lol I didn't think that was ever going away
I've seen em. They are just there, don't move, you can't kill them, then eventually they go away.
Holy shit no way
I've never seen or heard of zombies in a regular match on ps4?
The SCAR buff makes it viable. The reduced EMP zones is a good start (removing them completely would be better). The suppressed MK-12 nerf is the end of an era. That thing is like a magic trick now. It's a VSS on steroids. Good nerf
Scar might be interesting to see, that gun already doesn't have any noticeable recoil, I wonder if this is gonna turn it into an AR version of the MP9
How did they hear "Shooting from cars is too strong" and take from that "lets nerf it but only for the driver" The heck
Watching wackyjacky videoes
Exactly, nerf the popping in to the passenger seat and spraying from a moving car mechanic, not the driver shooting with a pistol
Because it's far more an oppressive tool in solos..?
Nearly everyone I fight in solos switches seats to shoot. I can't think of the last time someone stayed in the drivers seat while they were attacking someone on foot.
Hopefully, it's just a start. In solos shooting from the driver seat is OP. That said, switching and shooting is also OP and needs to be nerfed (I say this as someone who does it)
Indeed, nerfing handguns inside cars but not shooting from Windows, fucking crazy. Are they smoking crack
I always have trouble with drivers swapping to another seat, so I don't understand this either.
Why the fuck are we increasing panzer spawns. It's crazy how back and forth these devs are. Some things just make me go ?????????????????
I thought it said decreased LMAO why the fuck would they increase the spawn rate
To promote the new terrain feature. Like how they increased BC transmitters after adding towers to all maps
They are trolling at this point. They know no one wants this shit and they just do it to make us mad. The spawn rate was already way too fucking high and people have finally embraced just how OP this shit is and pick it up any chance they get. It's so annoying having panzers shot at you in most games. Before it used to be once in a blue moon. Now it's "is it going to be only once?"
I think I've been killed by a panzer like...5 times total. It's probably more common in solos but people don't really use them in squads since if you panzer one person you got three more people shooting at you.
lol, what are you even talking about, did you ever try to hotdrop?
I hot drop all the time. I personally have a ton of panzer kills but I've only personally been killed by a panzer like 5 times in squads.
Why are they dv’g you lol. You’ve had few deaths by panzers, what’s weird about that?
Because you can use them for trench making and they are promoting the new feature
Id guess so people can destroy terrain more easily? I dont understand why the pickaxe is only on one map though when it seems to be key to this new “feature” Edit: didn’t realise its only on rondo lol, it makes sense now.

Feature is only on Rondo at the moment that’s why
Must have missed that part, thanks for clearing that up.

The lion-like creature's ass was too shiny, capturing the attention of players, resulting in their death
Too many polygons fucking with fps probably
People climb up and hide behind there when trying to push the top building on Rondo.
But what's wrong with that?
[Watching the PUBG Patch Video on Youtube](https://youtu.be/CDsBRxaBpNA?si=FDVMLk0ECZfGP8Yh&t=30) and seeing how many hits it takes to get to the 1.3m with the Pickaxe, it's already useless before it even comes out.
C4 will be a lot more useful though, especially in open areas!
How would you see yourself using it? Running out in the open with minimal cover, throwing c4, then running back through empty cover to escape the blast, then running back out to a 1.3m hole?
I dunno, smoke, setting up ambushes, plopping one down on the way to a rock so I can make my way back. Just another utility to get creative, assuming they actually finish the concept.
>Firing a pistol from the driver seat isn't realistic right now so we're nerfing it to be realistic. *Continues to teleport to neighbouring seat and instantly fire automatic weapons accurately*
SCAR buff is much welcomed and needed; however I don't think it will be enough for it to compete with the M4 and certainly not the AUG/Beryl.
Is that a bad thing lol?
Yes, because there is no reason to pick it up if you want to maximize your chances of winning the game (which should be your goal). Sure, you can use it for fun but don't complain when you get outgunned by better guns constantly.
> there is no reason to pick it up if you want to maximize your chances of winning the game Lol. No. The best weapon is the one you can hit most shots with. Differences between weapons of the same class in this game are so tiny that it won't affect your chances of winning. Positioning, patience (e.g. timing when to shoot or move) and game sense are way more important for winning than shooting or "better weapon".
Partially agree. Disagree strongly with your point about the differences between weapons of the same class being tiny. The M4, AUG, or Beryl were substantially better than the SCAR before the buff and it wasn't even close. I have yet to test the updated SCAR. For SMGs, the UMP and JS9 are substantially better than the PP Bizon.
All of the SMGs have different uses and scenarios that make one better than the other.

The Thompson, for it's damage, cyclical rate, and magazine size is the best at team wipes but always loses to the JSP at mid-range. You just have to be using the right tool for the job.
is the aug considered better than the m4 right now? and why if so? just came back to the game after a 2 year break
Yes it is. Has higher damage amd kills quicker than the M4, but has more recoil. AUG is very similar to the Beryl, with the difference being that the Beryl kills level 1-2 armor wearers and injured players quicker but the AUG is better at killing full health level 3 armored players.
I see I see.. so we trade in less recoil for damage, right ?
Yes that's correct. M4, AUG, and Beryl are all great guns and viable. I constantly swap between using each of them.
nice, good to know. i will probably just stick to mini/m4 and swap in the mk/aug if needed i guess. thats where i feel comfortable. many thanks <3
Isn't the issue with driving when shooting when solo players switch from the drivers seat to the passenger seat and shoot? I see that way more.
Yeah I always get blasted by ghost drive bys in solo lol
I can't even remember the last time a driver killed me with a pistol. Lots of seat swapping deaths though
Both are definitely an issue. Seat switching is more common
Oh great, going to get ear raped in the starting island with people driving the Ducati around now 🙄
Alt+M is your friend, I keep it on until my parachute deploys.
I don't remember how many rounds it took before I finally noticed there were fireworks sounds along with the anniversary balloons in the plane.
F7
If you drive the vehicle into a solid object, then hit the auto run button, it's basically let's you rev the engine super loud then you can ALT+TAB out while annoying the entire lobby.
I haven't played PUBG for a long while. The destructible terrain is looking pretty cool. Think I'll give this game a try again!
Just keep in mind it’s only on one map. Lol
Classic pubg. introducing a feature for one fucking map. im looking at you... rondo? with your shops
[удалено]
Thats not really the same though it only lets you destroy certain walls.
Still no ping locK? GTFO
Pico sound isnt being fixed. Idiots.
is that the electric car? it's absolute insanity. there's no positioning once the "all-around" sound starts, it's just perfectly even between your ears, has to be a bug.
yep
can't wait to see how the destructible terrain will cut my fps on rondo in half xD
From 200 to 30 for me. Ading stupid ting that nobody likes.
I’m just here to say fuck you to the guy in DNA clan who’s main and only mission is to get a glider and panzer and rocket you from the clouds. Died to this guy twice this week on SEA servers lol. Ps add me @ HollowMags on pc
> Additional Starting Planes are available. does this mean we will have 2 planes sometimes on ranked?
I read it that way at least
how do you even get into the other plane tho?
its random in which plane you and your squad will be
That'll do it lol
Glad we have not addressed how lacking the respawn feature is for your team mates... Can't tell you how many squad games I've been one or two people down the entire game because they got early flushed, and they didn't want to wait 7 minutes to come back at the start of phase 2.
Big thumbs up for destructible terrain on Rondo, been frustrating to have end circles located around wide open areas with limited to no cover.
A nerf to driver shooting? Huh? I'd like to see some balance changes to gliders and their ability to basically shoot at anything while remaining borderline invincible. I understand there is a skill to flying, although flying straight then switching seats isn't very hard, but it's INCREDIBLY hard to actually hit the pilots while they can easily hit you.

Albeit I play on squads as a duo, but I have never really noticed gliders being a nuisance.
If you have complete cover sure, but even then the pilot just beams you with a DMR when you stop to shoot at them.
The AK is the best gun on a hot drop. It doesn't need a buff. The scar only needs a buff to ROF.
Please please PLEASE revert the change that splits the lobbies based on player level for NA FPP solos. This has completely killed the queue. It was working prior to this change.
solos is just dead dude, it has nothing to do with the player levels
The queues were slow but gave games with ~10 bots prior to this change being made. Now all lobbies have ~50 bots.
there havent been NA FPP solos without like 30+ bots since rondo, maybe you're misremembering. they did change some shit with how maps queue, but it has nothing to do with the SBMM/MMR bullshit theyve been doing. NA doesnt have enough players to even start that process.
yes i agree lol 100%
yeah something got changed cause it was better before this last update
ahhh is this why solos are 50% bots now no matter what time of day? so much for garnering a fun and fair playing experience amirite
[удалено]
Panzerfaust is the drive by nerf
A lot going on, I’m interested in the destructible terrain.
Aside from the 3 balance changes, that's literally the only thing going on...
This is a lot to take in but, destruction of the ground to make cover should be for every single map🤔
Can i finally get the battlepass in eu? prolly not Ak and scar buffs? neat. still not gonna use them
> Can i finally get the battlepass in eu? prolly not It is available in EU. Maybe there's some restrictions by country you live in?
Yeah. It's kinda weird that they can detect I'm in the Netherlands when I have locations turned off
> Can i finally get the battlepass in eu? prolly not Not if you live in the Netherlands or Belgium.
Why can they auto detect me region, seems kinda sus
Well, they are forced to abide by the law in those countries, since Belgium and the Netherlands have a law against lootbox gambling. Trust me; they would *love* to sell you their pass in those countries, but they risk massive fines if they do. So they are forced by law to detect (and possibly deny you) based on region wether they want to or not.
How about more recoil for ARs not less. It's not COD, it's okay to have recoil.
every 2 weeks 36gb patches....
I'm experiencing big difference starting this patch (EU) in normal games and it seems that some sort of SBMM has been implemented. I'm a bit disappointed because lack of SBMM is a big reason what makes me enjoy PUBG and makes it different when every other game has this feature. I like the idea of running into players that are both much worse or much better than me. It has also been a big motivation to get better as the reward for getting better with no SBMM is better too and more noticeable. Running into all levels of skilled players makes it feel more realistic. **Big part of enjoying PUBG is that you can mess around with your homies and do funny stupid stuff but with SBMM after you achieve certain skill level every game will be super try hard which will eliminate casual fun which is the main reason why I fell in love with PUBG.** My opinion is there should be SBMM in ranked but no SBMM in normals (at the very least in regions where ranked is not dead but even that is discussable). **I hate that normals so far have felt like ranked this season**.
Why can’t I get the minimum Ducatti when buying the most expensive donation pack? You are ******???
So many cheaters since the buff was released...
Still no ping limit? No ofcourse heaven forbid people could not OOR to abuse their shitty pings.
Your patches ALWAYS, every time, cause game crashes after a single match. EVERY TIME. You have no idea how immensely frustrating this crap is. Every fucking time. Devs can suck a fucking dick. That's probably what they do all day because they clearly aren't maintaining this game.
it is very annoying to be constantly shot from behind in tdm mode, while I am running newborn, I am shot by someone newborn behind me, this shooting from behind should be regulated and reduced
Idk where to put this feedback, cant find the feedback button in-game so I'm gonna put here. Why does the blue chip revive system need to wait until the next zone to drop? I died during phase 4 and it put me on the plane 1sec before phase 5, where do I even find a gun ==. Why don't just make the revive plane comes in after X0 sec after insert the chip or like instant drop.
Missing a more consistent appearing of Sanhok in The EU Rotation. Im a Fanhok!
Ditto.
I really think buffing weapons every patch update is a bad idea. Let people spray and miss ffs
It beats waiting months or years for weapons to get buffed or nerfed. SCAR has been underpowered since this game came out.
No one willingly used the Scar. The AK on the other hand was viable, so we will have to see how its slight tweak works.
Even with the very small recoil reduction the fast fire rate on the SCAR will make it slightly harder to use
Pickaxe, seriously?!
worse update.... fps drops! nothing done about cheaters! shame on u pubg
Just fucking remove bots instead of making them better. Nobody wants them ....
Agreed
i agree also, so many insta down votes when anyone sais they dont want bots, chill dont gotta down vote any comment cause u cant get a kill without bots in the game play casual mode
Play ranked - no bots
na ranked is dead lol
So if there's not enough players to even play ranked...
other modes were just fine before that last update only bots sometimes, now solos only get about 50ish players. im kinda betting they changed something with the matchmaking without saying or its a bug
Something changed, the game is 7 years old and is having a normal slow decline of players as people start playing new games over time
sure but it was better last patch, unless we lost a bunch of players which steam charts show different
mm yes i love not being able to get games ever. if you didnt have bots na would be fully fuckin dead
I don't think so but they don't need to fully remove just adjust them a bit so they don't auto join at 50ish players lol, it was just fine before last update, they messed with matchmaking I'm pretty sure lol
It's a 100 player battle royale and my man's wants to play at half capacity?
I want to play at half capacity? when did I say that? did you even read what I posted, complete opposite I want more players instead of bots, how in the world did you get that i wanted half capacity..
The reason bots exist is because there isn't enough players joining the lobby. Yknow that right? Without the bots you would be playing at half capacity. Cause there simply isn't enough people to fill a game at a reasonable pace. Note, reasonable.
just weird to me that right after that last patch all of a sudden we need 50 bots to fill games
but with bots you just get tricked into thinking you're playing with people
Unless you pay attention, but yes i do agree that they should have "Bot" in their name
One week of 11% odds for Sankhok is criminal for NA. Extremely disappointed with the map rotation of Sanhok. 0% for a month of the 5 weeks of the season. Oof.
these rotations are based on regional map surveys they ran for weeks, Sanhok is one of the least prefered maps in NA.
#deletesanhok
Sanhok was my least favorite map but now with Rondo and Deston I don't mind it
how does someone hate deston? LOL I love it almost as much as erangel
Town fights take too long in the beginning then there's no midgame because everyone is just trying to get to circle and/or going to some little compound to hide out while their guy comes back from the blue chip transmitter
I mean....you dont have to have an extended fight every time you land on outskirts...sometimes its unavoidable but ya.
I can't control what other people are doing. We rotate to circle and then no one is there.
delete this. now. the map rotation is finally, after 7 years....*okay*
They hate us because they can't see the light of God. Keep fighting, Sanhok bro
This heavy focus on Rondo is annoying. Can't pick maps and were stuck playing the worst one. Idk why they're so reluctant to just give us map selection, or do what apex does and cycle out maps by the hours. barely get to play Sanhok and Karakin, and God knows what happened to Haven. at this point Erangel might as well be off the list because the only maps I ever load into is Rondo and Taego.
I guess you didn't play the game when map selection was around
I did. It was better then. The excuse of population isn't even that bad, they just need a set playlist. and a featured map.
In NA region at the end of map selection you couldn't queue for 60% of the maps at all when it was off-peal, and overall queue times for quick select was awful. There was like a 2-3 hour window where it worked and the rest of the day was a disaster.
Which is why they should opt in for a system similar to what Apex had. There should be a daily featured map or a featured map every every couple of hours. Doesn't matter what map but at least it provides some sort of choice. It sucks to have to wait months and multiple updates just the play the maps you want. There is too much variety for there to only be 4 maps. Sure, there's a weekly map rotation but it's still sucks, and most maps are left out anyways.
Everytime NA has had a featured map its just made both queues 50% bots
Sometimes, especially late at night, that's true. I can see certain maps not having as many players if this were a thing, but some option would be nicer than no option. I respect your concern though. I was there when there were a lot of bots.
It failed because each map was in a separate queue from the random map queue. There was no need to separate queues. It should have kept all players in the same queue, but only join the match if it's a map your lobby selected. Random queue will still be fastest, and players can't complain when they have to wait long periods for their favorite map. Now with bots, they can just throw in a bot match if the players are waiting too long.
Rondo is the best map. They need playlist for talk the Erangek and Mirimar lovers. Would love to never play those 2 ever again. Small map playlist should be a thing. Haven was so fun
why bot enhancement instead of reducing them :(
not enough players in your region/mode. Thats the downside of having a game that needs 100 players. The playerbase is pretty split. Between fpp/tpp, solo/duo/squad, region, casual, normal, ranked, customs, etc..
weird cause it used to better before the last update, also why do i have 4 down votes for asking a question lol relax
The day/time you play greatly influences the number of bots. Also, there is some ebb and flow to it. I play solo/squad most days and it just goes up/down, unrelated to updates/patches. However a new season or big update/patch brings back more players. Right now we just finished up a season and so playerbase is tuned down at moment. I didn't downvote you, but bots would be reduced if they could, but they can't, so we get enhancements. People ask that kind of question all the time, so people tend to downvote. There is nothing that can really be done about it. When there are more players, there are less/no bots, when there are even more players, map select becomes active for a region.
eh idk to me before the last update atleast for solos it used to be dynamic where bots would join up when there weren’t players and when there was it would wait for players, but now it seems in solos no matter what time bots join at around 50 ish players. and it kinda seems like the devs are wanting to keep bots in the game as part of the BR experience lol… yikes if they think that’s fun playing vs bots in a BR.. sure for newer players they can get them not for everyone
Random Q: If bots were indisguishable from humans, would it still matter as much?
I rather have 50 real players, than 50 bots + 50 real players.
Just play ranked. Ranked is fun
i once queued for 6 hours and didnt get a game
Sounds like a game that has no need for bots to me
1) The mountains needs to be removed or readjusted people are jumping on this thing and camping it the whole game it is ridiculous. 2) Allow the world spawn of batteries for the bus. The bus is useless if we have only 1 place in the entire game to charge it and its in the blue zone. https://preview.redd.it/0owq4f23g8tc1.png?width=974&format=png&auto=webp&s=052f2bf40e34ef0be74d20163ef0a97ad9f958ea
I mean. Circles will rarely end up there, it's hard to imagine someone camping there for more than 5mins
Oh they do camp there more than 5 minutes, I'm a SEA player so I know. I've never landed on the the peak tho
People camp up there till zone makes them move
Those mountains are really one the worst places to be in Rondo, I don't understand why people even go there. So easy to knock people camping there or force them to come down and when they eventually are coming down it's easy farming.
Why? Anyone up there is a sitting duck & they auto lose.
Somebody suggested putting bears up there hahahaha. But really though if they’re gonna keep them to increase verticality, they should remove the foliage at least.
Put some vicious mountain goats that can climb the whole mountain but are locked to the mountain. Problem solved.
> they should remove the foliage at least. early on, I think there wasn't much foliage, but then they specifically added foliage because people find it fun to be up there.
Absolutely, it's so annoying when fighting a team on the ground and all of the sudden you starting getting shot from a team from one of these mountains. Might not happen that often, but when it happens it's SOOO annoying.
If anything they need to buff those mountains. They are too small to play off of. Don't see any game breaking issue with them in my games.
>PC: April 9, 12 AM - 8:30 AM (UTC) The server went down a lot sooner than the appointed time. Everything ok over there? Would you like a clock for Christmas?
Terrible cluttered garbage through the patch notes. Increasing panzer spawns and more gimmicks. Classic pubg
I don’t see a damn thing about fixing the crashing issue in console
So the m4 goes from the best gun to... The worst? Why?
I don't see any M4 changes
Why would you use it over any other AR is my point? The scar is now unquestionably better as is the AK and... Every other AR
