PUBG Xbox One update patch notes

PUBG is een van de grootste namen in de Battle Royale genre en heeft ook zijn weg gemaakt naar de console. Zo heeft de game een update gekregen voor de Xbox One die het een en al balanceert.

De PUBG test server was recent geopened voor de Xbox One versie. Op de Public Test Server kunnen spelers de eerstvolgende update spelen voordat ze live gaan. De servers hebben hun poorten weer gesloten op 16 Juli. Alle updates zijn nu al live in de game te spelen.
PUBG’s meest recente patch voor de Xbox ging voornamelijk over alle geweren. Ook hebben zij het nieuwe wapen en voertuig gekregen die eerder werd aangekondigd.

De User Interface heeft ook een verbetering gekregen. De Oceania en Australische servers zijn samengevoegd en de leaderboards zijn compleet gereset. Het gedrag van de speler tijdens het lopen, schieten en zwemmen zijn ook aangepast om een betere speel ervaring te krijgen. Audio aspecten in PUBG Xbox One hebben ook een boost gekregen, zo kunnen schoten beter onderscheiden worden in elke richting.
Één van de meest herkenbare updates is toch wel het vliegpad dat wordt aangenomen in het begin van een potje. Deze kennen PC spelers al een hele tijd.

• Shotguns
  • Increased overall damage and effective range
  • Shotgun chokes and duckbills are now less effective at decreasing spread (so the effective spread for a shotgun with a choke or duckbill will be similar to before)

  • Decreased vertical recoil on all SMGs
  • Decreased recoil and scope sway when moving in ADS (aiming down sights)
  • Increased ADS transition speed
  • To make the Vector a little easier to find, we’ve increased its spawn rate at the expense of the spawn rate of the UMP-9 (overall SMG spawn rate remains the same).
• ARs
  • Rebalanced ARs so none is the “objective” best—the power differential between each is now reduced, but each brings advantages to different situations.
  • Slightly decreased the damage of the M16A4, SCAR-L, AUG, and M416
  • Increased reload time by 30% for the SCAR-L, M16A4, and M416
  • Increased reload time by 10% for the AKM

  • Decreased recoil recovery rate for all ARs
  • Restricted big scopes (8x and 15x) for use with all ARs
  • Modified recoil animations for all ARs

  • DMRs now use AR attachments (magazines, compensators, etc.) along with SR attachments
• SRs

Other Item Balance

• Reduced the spawn rate for AR extended quickdraw magazines
• Adrenaline syringes now spawn (rarely) alongside normal loot in the game world
• Adjusted the casting time of Adrenaline syringe from eight seconds to six seconds
• The tactical stock and cheek pad are now less effective at improving recoil recovery rate. It now improves ADS speed.

New Weapon and Vehicle

• The Mirado is a classic muscle car: a fast, four-seat sedan that’s limited to Miramar. It can be found around downtown areas and main city streets.
• The SLR spawns alongside normal world loot. It’s a DMR which uses 7.62mm ammo and contains 10 bullets per magazine (20 bullets when extended.). The SLR is more powerful than the SKS but has more recoil. Recoil control is the key to using the SLR effectively.

New Attachments

• Duckbill – A new attachment for shotguns (S1897, S12K). It decreases vertical pellet spread but increases horizontal bullet spread
  • Attachable to S1897, S12K
• Light Grip – It decreases first shot/single shot recoil by about 15%. Animation kick reduction has been changed to 20% (from 30%).
  • Attachable to ARs, SMGs, DMRs (UMP9, AUG, M416, SCAR-L, SKS, Vector)
• Thumb Grip – It reduces vertical recoil but increases horizontal recoil. It also increases the recoil recovery time
  • Attachable to – ARs, SMGs, DMRs (UMP9, AUG, M416, SCAR-L, SKS)
• Half Grip – It reduces vertical and horizontal recoil and also reduces recoil recovery time
  • Attachable to – ARs, SMGs, DMRs (UMP9, Vector, AUG, M416, SCAR-L, SKS)
• Scope 3x – This scope has fixed 3x magnification with an illuminated reticle. It’s discoverable as a common world-drop item
• Scope 6x – This scope has variable 3x–6x magnification. It’s discoverable as a rare world-drop item.

Character Movement

• Slightly decreased movement speed when holding SRs, LMGs (M249, DP28) and shotguns. Your equipped weapon affects both your sprinting speed and your running (normal movement) speed.
• Removed the first shot delay when your character is not sprinting
• Chambering a new round in certain weapons (M24, Kar98k, S1897, etc.) no longer limits you to walking speed while aiming down sights
• The amount your camera shakes after being shot (“aim punch”) now depends on the amount of damage received.

Boat and Swimming Adjustments

• Decreased the maximum submersible time from 35 to 15 seconds
• Once you’ve run out of air, you’ll now take 10 damage per second (up from four damage per second)
