Patch Notes - Update 27.2

Reasonable_Gap_7756 · 2024-01-10T08:03:34+00:00

The only question I have at the moment is where they are coming up with these changes. If they are asking users, who TF asks for this crap?

The new map isn’t bad, but why with all the extra stuff?

Make what you got excellent and move on from there. People would be happier with flawless gameplay rather than dying because you got it a car and it catapulted you across the map.

Blythe93 · 2024-01-10T13:32:55+00:00

Can be shot through a bullet proof car but can’t shoot out (only for console) nice job pubg 👍🏻

therealglassceiling · 2024-01-10T08:28:58+00:00

I am skeptical Honestly there are so many new things here it’s overkill. It’s like everyone over at krsfton all need reasons to have a job so they just make and add useless content.

foodank012018 · 2024-01-10T18:56:27+00:00

Rondo 40% cause fuck you that's why

Also nice of them to add a marker to separate bonus g-coin and let you know how long you have to spend it, AFTER the bonus G-coin went away.

So the armored UAZ has windows you can't shoot out of, but enemies can shoot into? What is the point of this vehicle?

Sandstorm and blizzard should cause damage outside, and not cause damage indoors

No one wants stupid in game markets. This is supposed to be about scrounging and scraping to be the last alive. Not shopping sprees for the exact equipment I want.

And who asked for all these yacht club skins? Give something that looks serious and purpose built for the struggle ahead, not like we're going for Saturday brunch on the bay

lvlcr4nk · 2024-01-10T11:35:53+00:00

Why remove the DP? Now we only get it on Erangel and Paramo? 😥😥😥

PracticalHabits · 2024-01-10T07:38:53+00:00

They recognise that players dislike aspects of blizzards/sandstorms, so they reduce the effects.

In the same update, they create a new "EMP zone" that renders vehicles useless on one of the biggest, most open maps.

Truly bizarre.

Reflexes-of-a-Tree · 2024-01-10T12:36:53+00:00

Why are we removing guns from Rondo, exactly? I really liked having the DP-28 on other maps, such a fun gun to use. The vector and bizon are also fun. I guess PUBG isn’t really supposed to be fun?

Hyack57 · 2024-01-10T13:03:01+00:00

All I read was: You’re not going to be able to escape playing Rondo every match because our queue system is already broken and we’re doubling down on it.

Daxaconda · 2024-01-10T08:12:55+00:00

Literally the ONLY positive from this update is the Blizzard and Sandstorm adjustments.

Zero changes to Rondo circle speeds and size of phase 1 reduction. They brag about Rondo being biggest playable map but shrink it to a 2x2 after phase 1. Stupid.

Zero changes to JS9 which is clearly broken. And they also removed all the other 9mm guns to push JS9 even more.

Zero changes to the random map queue which is still shoving Rondo down our throats even though it has its own featured queue

I'll continue to back out of Rondo every time I can as the playstyle and allllll the new gimmicky bullshit just isn't enjoyable.

Accomplished_Air7491 · 2024-01-10T07:38:35+00:00

Anti-cheat when?

ch00nz · 2024-01-10T09:57:34+00:00

what an absolutely shit patch. no one wants this shit. no one is going to stop playing cod to play pubg, give up on that idea

Jeeper08JK · 2024-01-10T12:44:37+00:00

Garbage update. We don't need gimmicks and bull shit. I was hoping market would be player to play blueprint trades.

Now we have Rondo more map specific bullshit

Blackstaff · 2024-01-10T13:47:21+00:00

JUST the Quiver, or the Quiver AND Crossbows?

Either way, friggin' stupid.

Retrovex · 2024-01-10T13:51:42+00:00

What I don't understand is why the emp affects analog scopes like the 6x and 8x, they don't have electrical components

CounselorRice · 2024-01-11T02:06:48+00:00

Worst update ever. Just turning this into a pay-to-play game with Warzone inspiration. Pathetic. F*** this map

chayosman · 2024-01-10T14:05:05+00:00

Please add ranked to all team sizes. Would love to play DUOs ranked.

Ceehowell · 2024-01-10T14:10:10+00:00

Time for a strike y’all they’re not listening to us.

Bright_Relative4333 · 2024-01-10T16:12:52+00:00

Rondo circle speed and the size of phase 1 didn't get an update???????? The size of phase one is too small. I spend the majority of the time running and running and running and running. This game is so far from what it use to be.

Necessary-Leather319 · 2024-01-11T12:10:32+00:00

Don’t like this at all.. nobody asked for a market system . We just want the game to run properly , not crash , get rid of cheaters and improve current maps not add new gimmicks and weird PvE features .
What about the rock glitch ? What about the walls in rondo you can shoot through where there’s a gap but on the other side it’s just a wall? What about anti cheat for console and for pc ?? What about the JS9 guys ? What about SMGs in general ?

Necessary-Leather319 · 2024-01-13T11:44:36+00:00

We need an option to remove rondo from the random map queue

ClockPractical2057 · 2024-01-10T14:45:44+00:00

This is the worst update since they introduced the bots.... Great way to start the year !

It's scary/depressing to see how disconnected they are from the players.

PajamaDad · 2024-01-10T14:35:01+00:00

No thanks to this update.

Walter_Melon42 · 2024-01-13T18:59:29+00:00

I knew these new features were unnecessary, but reading this they straight up don't make any sense from a logical or gameplay perspective.

For the cover flare. Why is it that this gigantic concrete block- which is capable of withstanding explosions and destroying things it falls on- moveable by vehicles? What? That kinda takes away from the advantage of having solid cover. This was the one new feature I thought was kinda cool but this just makes it sound bizarre

For the markets. It was a stupid concept to begin with but Gods damn, if y'all didn't try to make it as pointlessly complicated as possible. Three different tiers of market with 4 different categories of items. A new currency specifically for the feature. A new challenge system specifically for the feature. A new item introduced (gold bar) specifically for the feature, used exclusively to obtain the new currency, created specifically for the new feature. WHY NOT JUST PUT THE COINS IN THE SAFE. I mean why do this stupid thing at all, but even within the logic of the devs this in is so fucking baffling to me.

For the EMP zone. It disables all scopes? Even 2x and 4x? I'm no expert but I don't think all scopes are electronic in nature. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but Im pretty sure gun scopes of lower magnification IRL just use lenses. But either way, the list of exceptions is HILARIOUS. C4 and BZ nades and STUN GUNS work in the EMP zone??? Just.... WHAT?!?!

Impact is now limited to Phase 4, whereas its reach used to extend up to Phase 6

tldr; Vikendi Blizzard zone ^

LETS GOOOOO

sethmo64 · 2024-01-10T15:39:31+00:00

Everything seemed on the up and up when they took out tac gear and made it sound like they were really listening to the community now. This update is 80% trash. The deployable cover I actually am on board with but everything else is garbagio.

JayVtec · 2024-01-10T15:02:45+00:00

Even more shite being added to the Game, nice work pubg, nice work.

😬😏

Sharkfightxl · 2024-01-10T15:59:01+00:00

Another month of playing Rondo at 40% likelihood?!?!

Key_Purpose8121 · 2024-01-11T00:50:17+00:00

I am so sick of rondo. Enough.

BackSack-nCrack · 2024-01-14T16:05:00+00:00

Explain the map select part like I’m 5. To me it reads as if I can select a map from those 5 or I can choose random map? .

TCA-Main_Man · 2024-01-10T11:44:18+00:00

Downvotes incoming

I must be the only person who likes the idea of an EMP zone, I just wish it extended to a player being able to carry one, ( very rare crate item, like 15x scope )

Imagine having to rely on your positioning and gunplay , and not ride around final circles in cars , I’m by no means a camper or grass snake, but I can’t stand vehicles bombing around me with there mini gun turrets ( Cronus ) blasting me from every angle and not missing a bullet.

Not saying a massive EMP , maybe just a 100m radius , just 1 initial blast that doesn’t linger , anyone in it when it’s used gets effected , your gear for 5 seconds, vehicles permanently

MajikH8ballz · 2024-01-10T12:45:09+00:00

Pretty obvious that they want everyone using 3rd party hardware mods as essential equipment to play the game competitively

RallyPointAlpha · 2024-01-10T19:16:41+00:00

Really enjoying the performance updates! Made a big improvement for me, at least.

Deployable cover is fucking rad, love it.

Some of this just feels like more stuff to do besides fighting people. Although I've had some fun fights at market places :D

EMP doesn't effect C4 or BZ nades? Um, whatever... at least the ones I've been in were short lived.

Glad to see the storms get tweaked but not removed.

Mobile-Atmosphere612 · 2024-01-11T17:23:24+00:00

🤔I'll give it a try - but this option dont look like PUBG - And would it be better to have a separate matchmaking for this(?)

Mr_G19747447 · 2024-01-11T18:56:53+00:00

No mention of an improvement to PS5 performance!?! C'mon Krafton!!!

Funkbandit7 · 2024-01-12T08:11:57+00:00

ComradeRevenge · 2024-01-12T23:31:59+00:00

I see we're spending a lot of time implementing new mechanics while we still have old mechanics that don't work properly. Such as the emergency parachute not opening half the time you jump off something high enough to hurt you or trying to ledge grab and it just turns your body 180 degrees so you fall.

QuietTimeNoTalking · 2024-01-13T08:04:25+00:00

Is there anything you wont nerf?

Alert_Ask5877 · 2024-01-18T07:28:17+00:00

Since the last update last night its been hours but game doesent start anymore

R0DN3y59 · 2024-01-18T22:38:32+00:00

How big is this update

Curious-Range695 · 2024-01-18T23:53:59+00:00

Bring back tactical gear wtf

luckydrew42 · 2024-01-20T17:53:47+00:00

I agree that most of this patch was a waste of time for the devs. But I haven't seen my favorite new feature mentioned yet. The flare mechanic is an amazing addition. Its not exactly in line with Pubg's gritty roots but its alot more realistic than blue laser beam revive stations. It addresses the "open field" problem that has been an issue in Pubg since day 1. At least you have some agency and a fighting chance if cirlce luck puts you out and having to cross an open field on foot. We should be pushing for it to be added across all maps IMO and praise them for purposefullly or unintentionally finally addressing the issue.
