technically it is for this game, no point and click, no mods, no aim bots, no map markers, etc.

I actually just found out that higher end gaming monitors have built in red dots you can activate on your screen. To combat this I took a piece of tape, zoomed in with my red dot, placed the tape on the screen and made a red dot with a marker on the tape.

Did this back in the day playing gears of war. Cheesy but Im leveling my playing field to those expensive monitor peeps.

Just got my first Duo win and it felt amazing. Had a squad win and numerous solos prior to now but me and this guy who I have been playing Duos with pretty regularly have gotten top 5 probably a dozen times, to finally seal a victory was amazing. We even had chit loot RNG and each of us had 4 kills too, was well played to the top for sure.

Not sure any MP video game has captured my emotions like this. PUBG > all.

had a nice lil solo victory on PC



PC is def way sweatier than console lol

Bro cut that clip down to action shots, nobody got time for dat.

x3 Kar98 headshots
no point and click
console master race

Trophy popped for 10 wins yesterday. Guess I am a pro now.

Tru need to learn how to edit lol

You guys know about pubglookup.com? Sick collection of data there. Really cool PUBG Corp has a public API that can pull all of that.Nice shot on the guy running for sure but FFS the two guys just saying stationary staring at you and giving you a full 2 seconds to perfectly line up the shot, I wanna play against more people like that, lol.

This console update though.... hnnnnnng

Hey everyone,

On January 22, we will be updating live servers to Update #1! This update will include the new snow-themed map, Vikendi, the Survivor Pass: Vikendi, a new vehicle and new weapons, along with many quality of life and bug fixes.


Check out the full patch notes below before jumping into the new update!

Maintenance Schedule
PST: January 22 12:00-2:00AM
CET: January 22 9:00-11:00AM

QoL

Minimap: Players can now further magnify the minimap
Player order consistency: Player order between the lobby and in-game is now consistent so that players will have fixed numbers and colors based on lobby order when they enter a game.
Added field of view slider in First Person Perspective mode (FPP) settings


New Map: Vikendi

Map.png.28b8a4101fdd56957da4507185c1d7bf.png


Vikendi Gameplay

Vikendi is 6x6km map. The gameplay of Vikendi is quicker than Erangel and Miramar, but offers an arguably more tactical experience than Sanhok.
Players can throw snowballs while waiting to board the plane in the starting area
Vehicles will be more slippery in snow or icy areas. Acceleration on icy terrain is slow and you lose more general vehicle control as you speed up
Footprints and vehicle tracks will appear as players travel in snow-covered areas. Keep an eye out! These are great to help identify if enemies have passed by recently
Keep in mind that footprints and tracks in the snow don’t stay around forever!

Redzone

The center of the red zone spawns outside of the play zone
The smaller the play zone, the smaller the red zone


Bluezone

The first circle of every game is much smaller than other maps, but subsequent circle sizes change less drastically.
This facilitates more blue zone variety and unique experiences.
Similar strategies work on Vikendi to Erangel and Miramar for the first three phases, but the zones will close slower starting from phase 4, similar to Sahnok. We feel this leads to a good balance between strategy and gunplay throughout the duration of each match

Item Spawn Balance

The overall item spawn rate is at a midpoint between our maps - offering a unique place between the spawn rates of Erangel and Sahnok.
Level 3 helmets spawn in the world
Level 3 vests spawn more often than other maps
Smoke Grenades are spawned at a higher rate compared to other throwables


SURVIVOR PASS: VIKENDI

1.png.93a07933aa90568359f6bf6e26d82a73.png

Added Survivor Pass: Vikendi
The duration of the pass is 10 weeks.

3.png.a8da2a3d06251c4d53981db45b3d45bb.png
Added ‘Coupon’ system in Survivor Pass: Vikendi
You can claim Coupons (Blue, Yellow and White) each level, which you can then use to unlock exclusive items in the Coupon Shop.
Coupons are only available during Survivor Pass period.

The existing Supply system will be integrated with Survivor Pass: Vikendi on January 22.

We have integrated the existing Survival Rewards system into Survivor Pass: Vikendi.

1.png.b97771a9a6ed06c09af07d63f39f47fd.png

Survival_system_2.png.25974d4a84edee3a83b9192cd017 7c03.png

For more information, please see our post on Survival Title System here.


Map Selection

4.png.5a9b5ac9b52d04f99b113b9e64391735.png

Map selection has changed with the addition of Vikendi
You can select Vikendi or select Others (Erangel, Miramar, Sanhok) to play
Quick Join function puts you in the first available game, regardless of map


Play Menu UI Renewal

image2019-1-18_12-57-4.png.3cf175ead1ded744e6d2c342bec14535.png


Improved the map and game-mode selection interface
Additional queuing information is now displayed for the selected match type.
If the matching pool in your region has sufficient players for healthy matchmaking, the expected wait time will be displayed for the selected match type.
When the matching pool in your region doesn't have enough players for healthy matchmaking, an accurate estimated waiting time cannot be provided and the number of players currently queuing will be displayed instead.
When the concurrent player count for a region is too low to start games consistently in a particular mode, those players will be redirected to their next closest region instead. A message will alert players when this is happening and to expect higher ping than local servers.

Gameplay

Decreased recoil of the P18C
Added auto-reload option
When enabled, you will reload weapons automatically when you try to fire while your magazine is empty
By default, this is set to “Off” but can be changed in the Gameplay menu
Maximum number of Forward Running Sensitivity has changed from 50 to 100
The maximum value would stay the same, so if your Forward Running Sensitivity was 10, it will change to 20
This is to have a more specific value
Improved the sound settings in option
The sound settings are now separated into Master Volume, FX Volume, UI Volume and Music Volume


Parachute System Overhaul

Freefalling
Tapping L-Stick now puts you into a dive at full speed straight down towards the ground
Turning speed is now much faster and has increased control, responsiveness, and precision
Parachuting
Added new freefall animations and increased overall control and responsiveness
Tapping L-Stick helps you drop faster and land quicker
Pulling L-Stick backwards lets you glide, when you want to travel a longer distance
You can now cut the parachute while relatively close to the ground by pressing O, while still moving through the air.
This can be used to strategically to get to your drop point faster, but be careful, as you can take damage if you drop too far
Added new landing animations
The speed in which you land matters, as landing too fast may force your character to roll, or roll for longer, before you can gain full control of your movement
Colliding with buildings or objects while parachuting will now automatically cut your parachute. Be careful!
The parachute no longer disappears instantly after landing
Improved the character animations used in the air.
Character movements are much more fluid and have been improved to be more realistic.
Improved blood hit effects
Improved the visuals of blood particles when players are shot.
Improved the visuals of blood effects that appear on screen when shot by other players.
Slightly decreased the maximum number of shots possible to fire per second with the M16A4
The reason for this change was due to the fire-rate of burst mode for the M16A4 being unintentionally slower than single fire shot rapidly
We are planning to have a weapon balance patch in the first half of 2019. Please continue to share your feedback with us regarding weapon balance
Adjusted the sight position to be closer to the muzzle for some weapons
In a future update, we will be adding a new attachment which will require this new sight position, so we've made the change in advance to help players adjust to the change
There is no change to weapon recoil, but weapon control may be perceived differently due to the sight location change
Players now receive damage from Molotovs that hit their vehicle
Molotovs that hit around the vehicle, or when driven through an already-exploded molotov will not damage those inside


UI/UX

Player order consistency: Player order between the lobby and in-game is now consistent so that players will have fixed numbers and colors based on lobby order when they enter a game.
Controller Guide can now be seen from the lobby from settings
The name of the player being watched while spectating teammates, in observer view, or killer spectating will now appear in the top left corner of the screen.
Changed the overall lobby theme in celebration of our latest map - Vikendi
Applied the snowfield environment theme
Applied a snowing effect
Changed the background music
Combined the 'Career' and 'Leaderboard' menu in Statistics into a 'Season' menu

[QUOTE]BETA Season 1 Survival Title System
By PUBG_Lumos, 13 hours ago in News & Announcements

Posted 13 hours ago

Hello everyone,



We are excited to introduce a new way to progress through PUBG - welcome to the Survival Title System! The Survival Title System will be implemented into the game with the update on January 22.



We designed the new Survival Title System so you can see how you progress, going from zero to obtaining honorable Titles through continued play while improving your skills. And while this is also a beta and can change with your feedback, here’s some more information on our thoughts and goals for the new Survival Title System in Beta Season 1.



Beta Season 1 Survival Title System



The Survival Title System is based on personal growth, instead of having your placement being decided based on competition with others.



Survival_system_2.png.99bbf38e2984881247313dc7f004 c196.png


With the Survival Title System, you can obtain Titles through consistently playing the game. Once you reach Expert, there are no longer any divisions, but progression will be more difficult and influenced more by a higher ranking and kill count in every session.



There is no demotion aspect in the Survival Title System, meaning once you achieve a Title, the only place to go is up (with exception to the Lone Survivor Title, detailed below)!



Players will begin with 1 Survival Point (SP). SP gain efficiency will be tweaked slightly between different game modes (Solo, Duo, Squad) in an effort to keep each mode fair and balanced to prevent any as being seen as the only viable way to grind SP.



The Lone Survivor


As the top end of this system, only the top 100 players are able to acquire the Lone Survivor Title. Once you reach the required amount of SP for Lone Survivor, you will have to continue earning SP or risk being bumped by a competitor. You will retain the Lone Survivor Title as long as you remain in the top 100, so play well and play often to show off your prestigious title!



Leaderboard Improvements



The Leaderboard has been improved to highlight players who have made it to Lone Survivor. This leaderboard will be updated every 2 hours.



Lone Survivor players who do not play a match for one week will be removed from the Leaderboard.



Title Icon In Lobby



mainlobby_id_hud_crop.png.4733ca0b3565221182ffb2d5 e0a3d50b.png


Title emblems will be displayed in the lobby for you and your team. The emblem will be changed and displayed to reflect each mode.



Rewards (system) per Survival Title



453414996_pastedimage0.png.3d9f62721b7148871c0ac13 1227a1d5d.png


We’ve added a reward system for those working their way up through the new Title System. For Beta Season 1, you will receive rewards based on the highest Title achieved during the season regardless of Mode(Solo/Duo/Squad) or Perspective (TPP/FPP). Those rewards will be given out at the start of the following Season.



1725375046_pastedimage0(1).png.1e598487cb8769e70bc b694a2fe01271.png


Novice through Survivor Titles will receive rewards as their milestones are achieved. You can check your status, which can be checked in the Title information on the “SEASON - OVERVIEW” page of the game lobby. Lone Survivors will receive the same rewards as Survivors and will only retain the Lone Survivor Title while within the top 100.



Remember that the Title System is still in Beta. Your continued and valuable feedback will help us choose the direction of this and future systems, so let us know your thoughts on what we’re doing right or more importantly, what you’d like to see from us in the future.


Thank you,
PUBG Console Dev Team[/QUOTE]

Cant wait for the patch, hopefully they get it right and dont mess up something else.

Vikendi today boyos

Def getting the pass and the new gear

Excited AF to get home and play todayThe pass is garbage, love this game, have no problem giving them money to support the countless hours of enjoyment, but not to support this, or we'll just get more of the same BS missions next time.

Nothing wrong with a battle pass that is well designed, Sanhok one wasn't bad. Fornite's is good, the game just sucks, so of course it includes dancing.

It does? Not on Console Master Race.

Pumped for new season.

Hit top 10 in solo on xbox. Hnnggg.

Brahs, this chit is dope as fawk, by far their best map and I just love all the other changes they put into this console update, all the little things, parachute overall, etc, all just makes for a better experience. GOAT game is GOAT. Surprisingly I think the new season ranking a survival rewards are very well done and really add a lot on top of the thrill of grinding out chicken dinners Solo or with homies. (didn't buy the paid one like a cuck so I am not talking about the rewards themselves, even free is a great addition to the game, just the concept of it, much more polished and engaging than the previous reward system)Nah. They know their target audience, PC gamers are dik guzzlers so they let them dance.

Eh, even if my character blows my Duo partner after we win it's still less gay than Fortnite.

Just reinstalled the game after a long hiatus from it.

Oh Lawd. I see why I got hooked on it the first time. Only now its better.

Do well lads.

Had so much fawking fun yesterday, had to tear myself away from the game to do some work after dinner and I almost cried. Can't wait to be done with work today and play more. Vikendi is the best map yet and the whole update is so good.






Two trophies earned on 1/22/19

First Come, First Served (Ultra Rare 3.4%) Loot 50 items from the carepackage

Okay, Now I'm Ready (Ultra Rare 2.0%) Equip a Lv.3 Helmet, Military Vest, and Backpack in 10 matches
The game is just flat out the fawking GOAT. I mean I didn't play it in early access so I guess to be fair I shouldn't have too strong of an opinion on how bad it was or how long things took to fix as I may have stopped playing because of the state of the game like many people did. But I think too many people are still chitting on a game that was bad in early access, and acting like it's still bad bad today. Which yes, it's not perfect when it comes to performance but it has improved to be more than playable. So obvious when someone chits on PUBG for being buggy that they haven't played much after full release, brb, judging a game based upon early access version. Just go into a recent thread hear something like Fortnite vs Blackout vs PUBG, so clear so many people haven't touched PUBG since early access. Their loss I guess, but pretty stupid.

Beyond that nothing beats the realism of the physics and gun play for me. Could I get higher FPS or better graphics on other BR games now? Sure, but they don't provide nearly the same experience, the unforgiving nature, the rewarding feeling. Long live PUBG, the GOAT, hopefully they keep updating and improving.

First game I played, got 10 kills and 3rd place in solo. The cucklord got a lucky headshot on me, level 3 helmet too, smh.

New patch is out.

New gun - PP Bizon
New body armor adjustments
New canted site/attachment
New snow bike
New AK Battlestat gun (Tracks kills. CSGO lol)
Night mode
Less SMG drops on Vikendi and upped the AR spawns

Good patch.

Two wins and a few other to 5 finishes today, on fire, feeling good.Was just reading about this. Looks great. PUBG on a roll.

First time player, my friend showed me H1Z1 a couple years back and this is that game but better...

Did the same and holy hell im hooked too.

Between this and my new ps4 i cant really see myself having time for much else.

Hopefully 2019 sees the rise of PUBG again. They still need to do something about the fking hackers though cuz I still run into them, albeit at way lesser frequency than before.

You playing PC or PS4 version?

PC bro. I'm a retard on controller

That's the fun part, everybody is and nobody can land a shot.

I did it, first win. (duo's) feelsgoodman. I killed a dude AFK in a house and the last person alive, haha. My partner killed five players, he had kar and a 8x scope.

It was 2 vs 1 but my partner stormed in on his own? and got killed. I stayed outside the house and waited for him to come out the door. There was some barrels next to the door, I jumped on top of them as he was looking around the barrels and shot him from the top of the barrell.
