PUBG Xbox One #5 / PS4 #2 Patch Notes

Maintenance Schedule

• Start: March 4 11PM PST / March 5 8AM CET
• End: March 5 3AM PST / 12PM CET

New Weapon: Bizon

• The Bizon is a brand new SMG weapon added to the game:
  • It’s kind of exclusive to Vikendi and Erangel.
  • It utilizes 9mm ammunition and keeps 53 rounds by default.
  • It is only able to take muzzle as well as sight attachments.
    • It does not accept grips or magazines.

New Attachment: Canted Sight

• Canted Sight was added to the game as a brand new attachment.
• It is a new scope for weapons with a secondary scope slot.
• If you press key (X button: Xbox One) or (Square button: PS4) while ADS, you will toggle between equipped sights.
• You can use Canted Sight with the following guns:
  • AR – Beryl M762, AKM, AUG, M416, Mutant, QBZ, SCAR-L, G36C
  • DMR – SLR, Mini14, Mk14, QBU, SKS
  • SR – AWM, M24, Kar98k
  • SMG – UMP, Vector, Bizon
  • Shotgun – S12K
  • LMG – M249
• Because of the Canted Sight update, the position and the view angle of the weapon will probably feel more slightly than before while in ADS. However, this does not make changes to any features which probably have an effect on gunplay, like the position of scope in ADS, FOV, and recoil.
• There are some interactions, like collecting an item, jumping into a vehicle, opening a door, they will not be put out of the action while in ADS.

Gameplay

• The damage transferring to helmets and vest was reduced.
  • This means that your armor is able to uphold more damage before it gets demolished.
  • But the damage dished out to the player will be the same.
  • The former damage calculation used to shift 100% of damage to the armor durability.
• The damage system of throwable weapons was altered.
  • Damage and effects are now given accurately to players that are covering themselves behind every small impediment, like thin poles.
• Trajectory guideline is now displayed accurately until the throwable weapon leaves a hand of a player.
• The delay when opening a parachute is now decreased.
  • Thanks to this, players can alter the directions much earlier.
• Vikendi –  Bluezone Modifications
  • Bluezone will be now formed further away from the center.
  • The damage of the last zone has been grown.
• Vikendi – Modified the spawning rate of the items.
  • Reduced the number of SMGs and developed the number of ARs
  • Deducted the number of LV3 helmets and vests
• Addressed a problem where doors could be opened from an unreachable distance in TPP mode sometimes.
  • Doors will be opened only when in reachable distance from now.

World

• A new weather setting on Vikendi was added to the game.
• Moonlight: In spite of the setting made for the night, the glowing moon and bright aurora borealis will assist you to spot the foes easily.

UI/UX

• The visibility of the white circle on the mini-map was strongly upgraded.

Performance

• By modifying the number of visible footsteps within a certain radius of a character, the performance got strongly upgraded thanks to that.
• The performance also got enhanced thanks to the growth in the size of the texture streaming pool to cache in memory.
• The Kill Feed messages, as well as Gamepad Guide UI, were greatly optimized by decreasing the average game threat usage time to deduct hitches.

Skin & Items

• Already made an adjustment to the items grades for event items so they will have a more correct value.
  • Already made a change to the item settings so they can be traded for the proper amount of BP according to their grade.
