Dive into the nostalgia as PUBG reintroduces classic elements and discusses the decision-making behind the Erangel Classic Event, from revisiting iconic map features to contemplating the return of old bugs and glitches.]]>

PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS is taking players back in time with its upcoming Erangel Classic event. For a short period, the game will bring back features from its early days, including the original Erangel map layout, classic gunplay, and old skins and weapons.

Erangel has evolved over the years in both look and feel, but it holds a special place for many fans as the first battleground in PUBG. Recently, Taehyun Kim, PUBG Production Director discussed how nostalgia influenced the limited-time event and revealed that they even considered bringing back the classic bugs as part of the experience.

  • PUBG Erangel Classic Event Details

Return of Erangel’s Most Iconic Elements

PUBG Studios has detailed all the map changes coming to replace the current Erangel. While PUBG now features foggy and rainy weather, its early days had a unique atmosphere: navigating an unfamiliar map, stalking enemies without a kill cam, and a dreary environment. This nostalgic experience will return in Erangel Classic.

Pubg Erangel Classic Event
Erangel has evolved over the years in both look and feel, but it holds a special place for many fans as the first battleground in PUBG.

Players can once again begin each match by grabbing their favorite weapons from the wooden tables on the starting island. In addition, the Level 3 Helmet and classic skins will be available as world spawns. Kim described the helmet and classic skins as "the most representative elements" of the old PUBG and Erangel. Fans and casual players alike will recognize the iconic Spetsnaz Helmet, known for its narrow rectangular visor that covers just enough of the face.

Furthermore, the Tommy Gun will no longer appear in world spawns and will instead be exclusively available in Care Packages.

No Return of Bugs and Glitches

Kim mentioned that the desires of players and their nostalgia served as the "catalysts" for the development team's choice to reintroduce the old PUBG. Although the UI and gunplay balance weren't fully reverted to their original mechanics, they were redesigned to emulate those aspects. Certainly, many may recall the numerous bugs and glitches present in the early days of the game. Surprisingly, some players were able to overlook these flaws and still enjoy the game. Whether it was encountering a floating player cruising by because the game failed to recognize they were in a vehicle or experiencing random falls through different layers of the map, these quirks were part of PUBG's charm. The game’s Production Director mentioned that the development team considered reintroducing these bugs but ultimately decided against it.

PUBG Erangel Classic Event Details

During the Erangel Classic event, players will experience a throwback to 2017 with old weapons, fonts, and graphics making a comeback. When in firefights, it might feel like 2017 again due to reduced recoil and longer time to down enemies.

Along with the old gunplay mechanics, players can get an armored UAZ by firing a flare gun outside the play zone, just like in the early days. The armored UAZ was one of the first vehicles in PUBG. Although it wasn't the most protective and was later replaced, it added more competition. The UAZ is less durable than the BRDM introduced in 2019, yet it has better mobility, can drive on any terrain, and is easier to repair.

PUBG Erangel Classic event will run from May 14 to May 28 on PC and from May 23 to June 6 on console.

P90 is a new gun in the airdrop in PUBG PC. It's even called the SMG version of Groza. Let's compare P90 PUBG PC and P90 PUBG Mobile here.]]>

P90 is an exclusive SMG on Livik which you cannot find in other classic maps. Although it's an exclusive weapon, P90 in BGMI and PUBG Mobile is still underrated. It's not highly estimated as the P90 PUBG PC in the new patch 13.2 where it is a new gun in the airdrop. It's even called the SMG version of Groza. Let's compare P90 in two versions of PUBG here.

Table of Contents

  • #1. Damage
  • #2. Spawn Rate
  • #3. Sight/Scope
  • #4. Attachments
  • #5. Ammo & Reload Duration

#1. Damage

Despite the same name, P90 in PUBG PC and P90 in PUBG Mobile have different statistics. The first difference between these two versions is the base damage.

  • P90 in BGMI and PUBG Mobile has a base damage of 30 HP/hit.
  • In PUBG PC, P90 has a base damage of 35 HP/hit.

Besides, the firing rate also makes them different. In specific, P90 in PUBG PC continues to surpass this gun in PUBG Mobile and BGMI.

  • In BGMI and PUBG Mobile, P90's firing rate is 700 rounds per minute.
  • P90 in PUBG PC has an insane firing rate of 1000 rounds per minute.

As a result, the damage per second (DPS) of P90 in PUBG PC is much higher than that of P90 in PUBG Mobile.

  • Its DPS in PUBG Mobile is 350HP/s.
  • The DPS of P90 in PUBG PC is 583 HP/s.

Therefore, the P90 PUBG PC is much more powerful than this gun in the mobile version. Although they are the same gun, their features are not the same in the two versions.

Pubg P90
PUBG P90 is an airdrop weapon.

#2. Spawn Rate

The fourth difference between P90 in PUBG PC and P90 in PUBG Mobile is the spawn rate.

  • In PUBG PC, P90 only appears in the classic and custom airdrops, but it spawns in all PUBG maps.
  • P90 in PUBG Mobile spawns on the map Livik only but players can loot it everywhere on the map.

Therefore, it's hard to conclude which P90 version is more popular and easier to loot.

P90 Pubg Pc
P90 only spawns in the airdrop in PUBG PC.

#3. Sight/Scope

P90 in PUBG PC and P90 in PUBG Mobile have different iron sight and scope slots.

  • P90 in PUBG Mobile and BGMI has a flat iron sight which is really hard for users to aim and shoot. However, it supports from red dot and holographic sight to 6X scope.
  • In PUBG PC, P90 does not have the iron sight because it has a pre-equipped holo and flip sight. The flip sight equals a 2X scope in PUBG Mobile. Therefore, it does not support other scopes.

However, the pre-equipped scopes in PUBG PC P90 are good enough for close-range combat and face-to-face combat. This gun is very weak in long-range combat, so you don't need to attach 4X or 6X scope for it. Moreover, P90 also has a laser scope to support players when using hip-fire in face-to-face combat.

Pre Equipped Scope
The pre-equipped scopes in PUBG PC P90 are good enough for close-range combat

#4. Attachments

Apart from scope, P90 in two versions of PUBG also has different attachment slots.

  • In PUBG PC, P90 is still good without attachments. But it supports many attachments, including cheek pad, laser, scope, suppressor, and grip.
  • P90 in PUBG Mobile also supports a laser sight, scopes (from red dot, holo, to 6X), and all muzzle attachments (suppressor, compensator, flash hider, and barrel extended). You need these attachments to master PUBG Mobile P90.
P90 Pubg Mobile
P90 PUBG Mobile needs improvements to be more powerful.

#5. Ammo & Reload Duration

P90 in two versions uses different types of ammunition. It's a huge difference between PUBG Mobile and PUBG PC.

  • P90 in PUBG Mobile uses 9mm ammunition with 50 rounds per load.
  • P90 in PUBG PC uses 5.7mm ammo with 50 rounds per load. This ammo type is very rare because it only spawns in airdrops.

The reload duration of this gun in these two versions is longer than other weapons due to larger magazines.

  • P90 PUBG PC takes you 3.4/3.8 seconds to reload.
  • P90 PUBG Mobile takes you 3.1/3.4 seconds to reload.

This is the only advantage of P90 PUBG Mobile over this gun in PUBG PC. Moreover, P90 in PUBG PC is more silent than that in PUBG Mobile.

With the coming of a new P90 in PUBG PC, developers of PUBG Mobile and BGMI may make some changes in this gun of the mobile version to make it less underrated.

Looks like after Erangel, Miramar and Vikendi, it is now Sanhok’s turn to get a remastered version. It is going to be released in PUBG PC on July 22, along with the update for Season 8.]]>

PUBG, the second biggest battle royale game in the world, is constantly trying to improve their game, freshen it up so that players would not get bored. The simplest way to do that, of course, is to make changes to the map. Erangel, Vikendi and Miramar have all gotten subjected to changes over the years, and look like this is now Sanhok’s turn for the Remastered treatment.

The upgraded version of Sanhok is going to be a part of the next Season 8 update. The name for the update is not yet confirmed – for now, players are dubbing it Sanhok 2.0. The changes in this map are going to be pretty major – this might even lead to changes in strategies and playstyle.

Untitled
Official hinting tweet from PUBG's official account

In this article, we are going to tell you everything available currently about the Sanhok 2.0 update. This might carry over to the mobile version of the game soon.

Sanhok 2.0: Old vs New

1 - Bootcamp

Untitl2ed Untitled

From the picture above, we can clearly see that the Bootcamp area has been modified greatly, favoring a symmetrical design, with the same buildings placed opposite each other on all sides. This means there would not be any advantage for directions of approaches - in the old version, the gate of the building was placed at one side and people who land on that side would get to the target faster.

Untitled
The rivers surrounding the camp is also much shallower and easier to cross

2 - Docks

Untitled Untditled

Sanhok's industrial dock for large ships would be transformed into a wooden, primitive dock which also serves as a "party zone". This is actually a lot more fitting to the theme of the area, as it is supposed to be an underdeveloped island. There is also a new building on the hills behind the docks as well.

3 - Ruins

Untdsitled Untitled

PUBG complied details of the changes at the end of the cinematic - and looks like the Ruins is also going to be changed as well. Overall, the old ruins look really underwhelming compared to the new one - which is a full-blown Angkor Wat style of architecture. With the new covers, fights here would be much more intense.

The C4 is going to be the ultimate weapon to fight campers in PUBG.]]>

The C4 has been leaked from a very long time ago but was never revealed until now. PUBG just officially announced the 7.3 Update, which is coming to the Test Servers of PUBG tomorrow.

The 7.3 Update will bring PUBG new changes to vehicles, a new C4 weapon, and a few other changes.

Vehicle changes

Vehicles are getting a huge buff in this upcoming patch of PUBG. Vehicles will no longer explode right away when running out of HP. Instead, the engine will be set on fire and the vehicle will explode 5 seconds later. But there are exceptions such as the Red Zone and the C4 which will explode a vehicle instantly. Vehicles won't take damage when they are rolled over.

Newgif3

The damage vehicles take will be various in each area. The front area which has the engine takes 100% damage. The body area takes 75% damage. The roof area takes 50% damage. This means vehicles are now tanker, especially when running away.

Vehicle Pubg
Vehicles in PUBG will take less damage in the back and on the roof

New Weapon: C4

C4 will be the most powerful explosive weapon ever in PUBG. It has an effective radius of 25 meters, as large as an entire block. Unlike Frag Grenade, which you can just hide behind any obstacle to avoid it, the C4 can deal damage through covers. As long as you are in its radius, there is no way you can avoid it.

The C4 is heavy so you can't carry many of them as well as throw it far away. It can stick to any surface other than players. After deploying, it will start making "beep" sounds and explode after 16 seconds. Make sure you are not inside its impact radius when it explodes. If you no longer hear the beep sounds, you are no longer inside the impact radius of the C4.

C4 Pubg
C4 is coming to PUBG

The impact radius of the C4 is 25 meters and the lethal radius is 15 meters.

You can find the C4 randomly around the world and in airdrops on Erangel, Miramar, Vikendi, and Sanhok.

This is a true game-changer weapon as it can force every single player in a 25 meters area to move away or die and there is no way to get around that. This is the ultimate weapon to fight campers who hide in buildings in city areas.

Update 7.2 for PUBG has come to the Test Servers. Let's check out what is coming to the game.]]>

PUBG has just announced that Update 7.2 is now live on the Test Servers and will come to the Live Servers in a few days. Apart from some weapons changes, the 3 highlights in this update are Bot Opponents, Rank Mode, and indestructible Armor. Now, let's dive into the details of each change in the patch below.

Ranked Mode

The skill gap has always been a big problem that affects the playing experience of many players in PUBG, especially lately. New players and casual players get frustrated because there are too many experienced players that kill them in the blink of an eye while experienced players get bored because of easy matches.

Ranked Pubg
You can only play Squad TPP or Squad FPP in Ranked Mode PUBG

So from now on, PUBG will replace Survivor Title with the Ranked system.

  • Players will be able to find Ranked matches separately from normal matches with Squad TPP or Squad FPP.
  • Each match only has 64 players.
  • Team members in a Squad cannot have their ranks too far apart from each other (10 Division).
  • Players who abandon games after having loaded into the lobby will receive penalties.
  • Maps will be chosen randomly among Erangel, Miramar, or Sanhok.
  • No Crossbow, Glider, Red Zone.
  • More loots and increase Blue Zone Speed

There is a total of 6 Tiers (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Master), each tier has 5 Divisions. You rank points will be determined by your Kills, Assists, Personal placement in each game. Players who are Diamond and above will have their rank reduced if they don't play for a week or more.

At the end of each season, players will get unique rewards based on their Tier. Those rewards can only be obtained in one season only through Ranked mode.

Bot Opponents

Bots are somethings that everyone thinks of in PUBG Mobile and not PUBG, but here they are now. Bots will only appear in normal matches and not Ranked matches so try hard players will have nothing to worry about. The number of bot in each match will be varied.

Only PUBG Mobile has bots in the past, but now PUBG has bots too

For now, bots won't be able to  lean, jump, ledge grab, and use throwables. More adjustment for bots will come to the game in later updates.

Armor

The dev has decided to make all armors in PUBG indestructible so players can fight continuously. Armors still have health but they won't be destroyed when their health run out. Instead they will still offer the wearer 20% protection from bullets and extra inventory space, doesn't matter if it is Level 3 vest or Level 1.

Armor Pubg
You can no longer destroy armor in PUBG after the Update 7.2

This change will reduce the disadvantage of players who fight a lot and doesn't have time to get a new vest.

Weapons and other changes

M416 gets nerf a little bit and some other ARs got some buffs so players can have more options. Shotguns get a slight buff for reload speed, damage, and accuracy.

Gas Can Pubg
You can pour gas out of Gas Can to set it on fire

You can now pour gas our of Gas Can on the ground and set it on fire with gunshots, grenade, Molotov. The fire lasts for 20 seconds and deal 20 damage per second (the same as Molotov). You can also throw Gas Can away, leaving a trail of gas on the ground to blow up the Gas Can easier.

In the latest 7.1 Update of PUBG, the developers of PUBG Corp. have decreased bot population in this game. It’s an action to respond to the negative sentiment from the community about the recent super high number of bots. Check out this news here with Gurugamer.com.

PUBG Corp. Cut Down Bot Population

Recently, PUBG increased the number of bots in console and Stadia platforms to make the game easier for beginners. However, it drove the players crazy when they met too many bots instead of real players. They said it destroyed their experience in this shooting game.

To respond to that backlash of fans, PUBG Corp. decreased the number of bots in the latest update 7.1. The update has come on Tuesday, April 28th, 2020. The devs of PUBG Corp. has announced in a post on Reddit that they declined the bot population for the top 75% of PUBG players. The rest 25% of players who are beginners in this game still experience a high bot population to make them enjoy the game. If these lower-skilled players are matched with pro players, they cannot experience much.

This action of PUBG Corp. proved that the devs are listening to fans’ feedback seriously. The game publisher is trying their best and investing a lot to make the game most enjoyable for players. The devs are getting feedbacks from players and improving the game every day. They are attempting to bring PUBG to the crown position in the battle royale game genre as it was three years ago.

However, many players commented on Reddit that they wanted PUBG devs to remove bots completely. They also noted that they see no real change. But keep in mind that the number of bots only declines during peak hours when the number of real players is high.

Vikendi has returned to PUBG with upgraded tourist traps and trains - the 7.1 update is available now on live servers.]]>

Vikendi has finally returned to the map roster of PUBG with the release of the 7.1 update. Due to its low popularity, the map was taken out in Season 6 for a major overhaul - and since then, PUBG Corp. has been giving it a lot of attention. A lot of things have been changed compared to the original version.

They have been gathering feedback from testers in order to fix the map as well - the smaller Dino Park was enlarged into Dinoland, a much more elaborate theme park. The compound has a large railway system including nine different trains that you can ride on. There is overall less snow on Vikendi, but it is still more than what was originally planned - the testers managed to convince them to add more snow into the map.

Vikendi has finally returned - with a lot less snow

Due to the lack of snow, the unique snow bikes and snowmobiles have been removed, with motorbikes of two variants replacing them. Some smaller settlements like Tovar and Movatra have been removed, while some like Volnova and Abbey have been expanded. A new Cargo depot is also added, as people seem to love hanging out in those.

4dinoland
The Dino Land is a much more elaborate compound

Overall, the new and upgraded Dinoland is the center of this update. There won't be Dinosaurs, but you would still be able to play around in the theme park, including its Ferris Wheel and Roller Coaster. The Reworked Vikendi would be available in 2 variants: clear and Snowy weather - the night version would come at a later date, as the devs are currently working on some visual fixes. Vikendi 2.0 might even get ported to PUBG Mobile first in order to boost the map's popularity.
