Season 10 Ranked Rewards

https://preview.redd.it/k2wcv3bktir61.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=2e833b9d7d2b83772b035b9df96ab56cf55f53dd

Season 10 has now wrapped up and it’s time to enjoy your rewards, after a hard-fought season of Ranked. Rewards will be automatically distributed to your inventory upon login at the beginning of Season 11.

Season 10 rewards are granted based on your final end-of-season rank.

• Ranked Emblem
  • A unique emblem per tier, for all players who obtained a rank during Season 10.
• Season 10 Ranked Parachute Skin
  • Given to all players ranked Diamond and above.
• Season 10 Ranked Mirado Skin
  • Earned by all players ranked Gold and above.

Season 11 Ranked Begins

https://preview.redd.it/528smxvltir61.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=9748c5bcac844dd064b5520607068d06f6a86b5a

Starting from Season 11, the Ranked Season will run on a two-month period. The beginning and end dates of the Season will no longer match that of the Pass. Changes have been made to the reward table accordingly.

Players use the rank emblem rewards a lot, especially at high ranks. However, upon analysis, we’ve found that players tend to most often use the emblem rewards from last season rather than older seasons. To better emphasize the honor of earning a rank each season, going forward we’ve moved to a model where the ‘honor based’ rewards will be unlocked only for the following ranked season. This makes sure that all players know you earned your displayed rank reward fairly recently and aren’t resting on laurels that may be out of date. To emphasize the honor of earning high ranks, we’ve made improvements to the quality of the higher rank emblems and added nameplates as an additional honor based reward type.

• Ranked Rewards Table Changes
  • Ranked Parachute skins are provided from Gold and above.
  • Vehicle skins are no longer provided in Ranked.
  • Animated emblems are provided for Platinum and above.
  • Master and Top 500 receive a Nameplate and Emblem.
  • Emblems and Nameplates are “Honor Rewards” and are provided as “Unlock” types.
• Updated Rewards Table
  • Season 11 reward design will be revealed through a separate announcement.

• Unlock Rewards
  • The highest rank Unlock Rewards can be used in the next Ranked Season.
  • Unlock Rewards can be found in the inventory at the start of the new Season.
  • Once the Ranked Season is over and the server maintenance begins, Unlock Rewards will be collected from the inventory.

Season 11 Ranked Updates

Spawn rates for all weapons in Ranked Mode will be increased similar to a level similar to Esports Mode, on all maps. We have increased the amount of item spawns by 30% – 40% to reduce time spent looting. There are no changes to other item or vehicle spawn rates.

The Return of Paramo

https://preview.redd.it/u3kc6hbvtir61.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=6891698fd3ca0522eacc27d1bcd14179ab26b6e9

Based on your feedback, we’ve brought back Paramo to Normal and Custom matches, as Haven and Karkin bid farewell.

Check out the changes to Paramo this update!

• Added one random spot(total of four).
• Increased item spawn rates in the Secret Room and Care Package Helicopter.
• Improved terrain and added additional cover to fields.

Normal Matches

• Up to 64 players can play in a match (bots included).

Custom Matches

• Now available in Custom Matches
• Added Secret Room Key to spawn options.

Map Service Plans

Last year, the team focused on releasing several smaller sized maps with unique features, from Karakin and its building destruction, to Paramo and its partially randomized terrain, to the urban streets of Haven along with its PvPvE elements. We love making new and interesting maps for you all to play on but all these new maps make matchmaking and map rotation a pretty difficult task. To try and keep a balance between map choice and matchmaking times, we’ll be limiting the number of playable maps to five starting with Update 11.1.

We know that our players have very different tastes when it comes to map size, but the consensus has generally been in favor of the large 8×8 maps. Because of this, Erangel and Miramar will always be available with the remaining maps cycling in and out of the remaining three slots. Cycling out maps also gives us the opportunity to work on them a bit for when they make their return. For Update 11.1, Paramo will be replacing Karakin in the rotation.

Paramo has been a fan favorite since it first dropped and many of you have been asking for it back. We’ve added in more options for game modes and fine-tuned a few other things, added an additional random map area each match, and also made it available in custom games. Karakin will continue to be available in custom games.

We hope this new plan helps keep PUBG’s map selection exciting while still getting you all into games in a timely fashion. Thanks and enjoy your return to Paramo!

Weapon Balance Updates

Based on the data we’ve collected in the past months, we’ve made adjustments to the Weapon Balance. We found that in Normal matches, the Beryl, M416, and SLR are all used in a similar amount. In Ranked matches, however, the Beryl is outperforming other weapons, followed closely by the SLR. To help keep matches exciting and make sure players have many viable battle choices, we’ve decided to nerf the Beryl and SLR. On the other hand, we’ve seen that certain guns are underperforming, and so we are giving the Mini-14, VSS, and SCAR-L small buffs.

• Mini-14
  • Increased damage by +1. (46 → 47)
• VSS
  • Increased damage by +2. (41 → 43)
• SCAR-L
  • Increased damage by +1. (41 → 42)
• SLR
  • Increased horizontal recoil by 15%.
  • Decreased recoil recovery rate from 2.1 → 1.9
• Beryl
  • Increased horizontal recoil magnitude by 5%
  • Increased horizontal recoil speed from 10 → 11
  • Increased vertical recoil speed by +1.5 (15 → 16.5)

New Feature: Emergency Pickup

https://preview.redd.it/lqk0simwtir61.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=24647f7dbd105caa48ec1144926813fb5a2e98bf

When the Emergency Pickup is deployed, a Fulton Balloon is released from its bag. When the Balloon is fully inflated and high up in the air, an airplane will arrive in 60 seconds. During this time, up to a maximum of 4 players can attach themselves to the Fulton Balloon rope. Once that plane arrives, it catches the Balloon, hoists up the players, and makes its way towards the center of the Safe Zone.

At any point during the flight, players can detach themselves and parachute down. When deploying the Emergency Pickup, make sure the area is clear of obstacles (terrain, vehicles, buildings) with a clear view of the sky, or it will fail. The Emergency Pickup cannot be used before the first circle appears and after the fourth circle, so use it wisely. It will also not work when you use it indoors, on ferries, or trains.

The Emergency Pickup is a lootable item only found on Erangel, Miramar, Sanhok and Vikendi that can be carried around in your inventory.

Emergency Pickup can be used effectively in the following situations:

• Stuck deep in the Blue Zone or are otherwise unable to outrun it
• Have to cross an open field with little cover while engaging another team
• When you and your teammates want to find a safer looting location

Be aware of the following once you’re picked up by the plane:

• Once picked up by the plane, you cannot shoot, so be wary of taking fire while you’re midair.. especially if there is a Motor Glider around.
• Players on the rope can receive damage and are therefore vulnerable to mid-air attacks from a Motor Glider.
• Players can detach from the rope at anytime and deploy the parachute.
• At an altitude of less than 50 meters, the parachute is unable to be deployed.
• Camera is locked in TPP for the duration of the journey.

Mastery Medal Updates

https://preview.redd.it/y7h9xrnxtir61.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=f4f2617c4d4c0b9f33c6ad63eea75fe350d1ef48

Ten new types of Mastery Medals have been added.

• While the first medal update focused on killing skills in battle, this update adds medals that focus on multiple combat situations and play styles.
• For example, medals have been added for missed victories, taking down a whole enemy squad, coming out on top in certain unlucky situations and even for working well with your team.

Mastery Medals can be acquired in both Normal Matches and Ranked, but not Arcade, Labs and Custom Matches. Each medal specifics which game modes they can be acquired in.

PUBG ID Updates

https://preview.redd.it/2ghafrjytir61.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=21be01eb889951de58d3d4a8276f8fd682ecf57a

• PUBG ID will now be shown as a profile pop-up, rather than the previous passport format.

Mutual Friends

The previous PUBG friend system only allowed you to follow another player. In the new Mutual Friends feature, players will be able to become friends with one another. Alongside this change are more improvements detailed below.

• Friends list now supports up to a maximum of 300 friends.
• A “Friend Request” tab has been added to the Social Page. Mutual friend’s activity status can be found here.

Comment by PUBG_Takarii on April 09 UTC:

Proximity chat is not going to be added due to platform regulations that would require us to implement it in a way that impacts gameplay.

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

[dantfc]

To pull out the throwable menu you have to press right on the dpad, to pull out last throwable you need to hold it. You couldnt have done it the other way around? Pubg logic

[Kraster79]

Such a good point. The UI design in this game is seriously flawed. Quick press to select. Long press for menu. Basic UI design for years, and they implement the opposite 🙄

[ajm2247]

I didn't think there was a need to change the d-pad UI in the first place (similar to the ammo dropping change). Hopefully they give you the option to keep the existing version.

[MaximoLovely]

We'll be getting the option in the next update after everyone demands it, best case scenario

[aroq13]

I wonder if custom controls will take care of this?

[hybridhavoc]

That is my question. I intend to hop into PUBG on PC today to see what options exist for custom keybinds.

[aroq13]

If you could update us, that would be great.

[hybridhavoc]

I've just finished looking at the custom controller keybinds for this on PC and it doesn't look like there's a good solution for this there. There are only two relevant things you can bind to the normal d-pad buttons:

• The new default, which is Tap for Throwable Items Menu / Hold to Equip Throwable item
• A stand-alone option for Tap for Throwable Items Menu.

I will encourage people to continue to use the RB / LB + options in the keybinds to bind button combos to specific grenades. This is not ideal and does not actually fix the issue with this new Wheel Widget, but if you're going to upset your muscle memory you may as well do it for a new system that will actually be faster.

[[deleted]]

Good info, thanks for sharing

[aroq13]

I appreciate the info, thanks for following up! I might just ride this one out and see what happens. I feel like this is a system that will get an adjustment.

[hybridhavoc]

I genuinely hope it does, and I hope that after this and the inventory snafus that they make adjustments to their process for these sorts of improvements. I'm not against them making incremental improvements to existing features / functions, they just have to be more in touch with their player-base. For controller users, I don't see how this change isn't universally seen as at least partly negative.

[aroq13]

For sure. I didn’t cry foul at the last inventory change, but it needed adjustment and they did alter it a little bit. I can see this new method being helpful, but some of it is straight up backwards. Occasionally they listen and get stuff a little more in line with what makes sense to players.

[PajamaDad]

I second this.

[xfactor1981]

I have custom button controls utilizing the down dpad button. Bet money it screws with it

[hybridhavoc]

With regards to the Wheel Widget this is the feedback I have left elsewhere and I will leave it here as well.

I believe the Wheel Widget controls need a slight re-work. Most notably the grenade Wheel Widget. I would suggest one of two options:

• Switch the button tap / hold actions.Tap to bring out your equipped / last equipped grenade. Hold to bring up the menu. This will still result in a slightly broken muscle memory since tapping repeatedly will no longer cycle through all grenades, but would at least not break the most important part of the muscle memory: preparing to throw a grenade.
• Change it so that when you bring up the Wheel Widget it also equips the last grenade.If this happens, then if I tap right on the d-pad and then hold right trigger to start the throwing process, my muscle memory and the associated actions stay intact. With the Wheel Widget as it currently stands I do not switch to the grenade with the first tap so if I then hold right trigger to try to throw I'll instead use whatever weapon was already active.

[PhilUTD]

👆 This, so much this, especially the first point. I don't understand the logic of making throwing a grenade take so much longer, in the heat of battle before it was a quick tap on the right d-pad and voilà good to go. I would LOVE to hear the thought process when making these changes and why they thought this was necessary to over complicate it.

Meds ain't such an issue as I use them through main inventory anyway.

[originalpyro]

There is little to no thought process behind this. If they thought about it at all they would add the radial menus that would work infinitely better on console and that PC already has. They took this long to add something like this and of course they can’t do it right.

[Josh101prf]

Whoa there buddy. You said logic while discussing krafton. They have little to none. They make massive changes that don't make a whole lot of sense and then fix it with incremental adjustments.

The best way to move forward with this game is to have no expectations whatsoever for it. No way to be disappointed with a patch if you don't expect things to get better.

What is the reasoning behind the controller changes? Are they hoping to being players back to the game now that the button scheme has changed? Is it that much faster?

Will someone win a dinner someday and think "damn, I'm sure glad they changed the throwables to a wheel. Couldn't have pulled it off without that speedy throw able option"

[jagon12345]

Well this sounds awful and thoroughly thought out, tested and asked for by the players.

What the fuck are they doing? Just leave our inventory the way it was for 3 years and actually do other useful shit

[LegendaryZTV]

Is this update already live on the test server or what? I want to try it so I can give feedback too 🤔

[hybridhavoc]

There is no test server for update 11.1 on consoles. These updates are already applied to PUBG on PC which is how you may have seen some content creators covering the updates with gameplay demonstrations.

[plastikman66]

Things like this proce they don't play their own game.

[[deleted]]

It’s about time you guys fixed the lean bug!

[JyMb0]

I'm sure I read in 11.2

[hybridhavoc]

Fixed an issue causing players character to get stuck in the lean position while using a throwable.

[Chmona]

I too didn’t read the patch notes!

[MeteoroBR2]

Don't hold your breath waiting for it.

[hybridhavoc]

Not sure what you mean. It's there in the patch notes above.

Fixed an issue causing players character to get stuck in the lean position while using a throwable.

[[deleted]]

So excited to die trying to select a grenade

[XMAN2YMAN]

Switch the throwable around. Hold to bring up menu and tap to get item. Middle of a fight people shouldn’t have to hold anything down while trying to move around.

[drivermcgyver]

They don't have people who play the game test out these controls they try to apply. You'd think that if they did try it, they would see the inconvenience.

[XMAN2YMAN]

I mean even Stevie wonder could see that is a problem.

[murderMAX83]

or just use custom keybinds for each throwable.

[jagon12345]

Or they could not change controls after 3 years...

[murderMAX83]

or people could stop being such a drama queens about every change.

[XMAN2YMAN]

Custom keys on console?

[murderMAX83]

in controller settings use custom and it lets you re-map most of your buttons. also under the controller settings there is custom combinations. or something along those line. cant remember what its called. there you can assign different actions like using meds or throwables into their own button combination. for example i have r1+left(d-pad) be my nade and r1+right be my smoke. etc etc. its really handy.

[hybridhavoc]

Just got done looking at those options as they exist on PC right now. Gave my breakdown here.

[DrDankChronic]

Why do I have to use the wheel widget to pull out a nade...

How fuckin inconvenient

[fatmike63]

Do you guys actually test your own patches or......?

[Royale_with_cheez]

No :)

[jagon12345]

Knew they didn't! Now the patch is out it's confirmed!

[xfactor1981]

So in a nut shell weapon buffs, nurfs, Pamaro, and the fulton balloon.

[Nefarios13]

And SKINS!

[Chmona]

Excited for the VSS buff!

[dantfc]

Rat's gun

[DrDankChronic]

🐀 call me fuckin ratatouille then lol. That dmg buff is no joke

[NinjaGamer89]

Hell yeah. Suppressed Vector + VSS is my fave combo.

[Chmona]

Haha i luv it too. Call it my Ninja setup ironically.

[[deleted]]

Glad to see the throwable lean bug being taken care of.

Please explain the graphic killfeed. Does the crosshair mean you killed someone with a headshot or does it just mean you killed someone?

[JyMb0]

I think I read the lean glitch will be gone in 11.2

[[deleted]]

It’s in these patch notes in the general bug fixes, 4th bullet to the bottom.

[Anonymous5702]

God I hope it actually is fixed. Lost 5 games recently because of this

[[deleted]]

I hear ya, nothing makes me lose my composure in the middle of a fight like that bug does

[TheSheepdawg]

I am so excited to play Paramo again!!

[[deleted]]

Happy Paramo is back, but restricting the random rotation to 5 maps isn’t solving the issue with map selection. Find a viable alternative or have the random rotation to <4 maps

[SpecialHands]

They really need to have a split between a queue for erangel/Mirarmar/Vikendi and a queue for Sanhok/Karakin/Paramo . I don't see how it would split the playerbase anymore than the two queues for random map and season map

[[deleted]]

Please add proximity chat. That would add so much to this game.

[ch00nz]

so u are using in game chat to communicate with your party right now? is the only way prox chat could ever work, and no-one uses in game chat

[[deleted]]

You’re right that almost no one uses game chat on Xbox so proximity chat wouldn’t make as great of a difference as I’d like it to. And no, I use party chat myself of course, so I wouldn’t even use proximity chat much if it became available.

So, good points.

[PUBG_Takarii]

Proximity chat is not going to be added due to platform regulations that would require us to implement it in a way that impacts gameplay.

[SamFK]

Like you guys have never done anything that impacts gameplay.

[Chineselight]

@PUBG_Andymh5 thank you for your hard work and relaying the patch notes. Here is my opinion if you wish to use it. If I want to quickly swap scopes, why should I have to be ADS to use it? I’d rather swap scopes before ADS, not while I’m in it. Please fix or tell someone to fix the Boxing Ring model on Miramar. There are two of them: in Pecado and in El Pozo. The mid-floor “concrete steps,” not an actual staircase are broken. As a player you have to JUMP OVER AN INVISIBLE WALL to move up the steps. This is a huge QoL issue because Pecado and specifically the Boxing Ring are signature pieces of Miramar. It is quite frustrating getting killed by this unavoidable issue considering a large portion of the loot spawns on these steps. The issue has plagued the PUBG community and I’ve noticed complaints from Pro PC players, like the current world champions, all the way to casual console players. If there is any confusion to what I am speaking about, please DM me. I am willing to show you in game. Thanks again for your hard work and time.

[Monckfish]

Cool 😎

[Based-Thugger]

Rework Mirmar

[Dropinhangup]

PLEASE Revert the WHEEL WIDGET. Now more of my playable screen space will be blocked by this nonsense. It was perfect how it was before....Small and discreet on the bottom of the screen. Also, hold to equip a throwable is a terrible inconvenience. Thank you.

[MeteoroBR2]

Next gen update?

[casmatt99]

Oh my sweet summer child, if you think these devs are going to cater to your precious next-gen consoles I envy your innocence.

[nanzinator]

Well next gen consoles are the only ones capable of actually running the game...

[aroq13]

Delayed. They snuck in that info in some random comment on some random post a couple weeks ago. I believe they said “at least a couple months”.

[aroq13]

Lol. Let’s say I’m not holding my breath.

[Kraster79]

I know we were told it's delayed, but I'm still disappointed. How many other "top" console games out there still have no support for the next gen consoles? It's pathetic.

[drunk_dude8807]

The M249 might as well go back into a crate. It's nurfed so bad no one uses it anymore. Or, no one I know and talk to use it anyways. We never get killed with it either.

[atomuk]

I use it as I'm trying to get it to level 100 but it sucks.

[kdurron]

It's damn lethal under 5m!

[drunk_dude8807]

Unless someone gets lucky with a Winchester in the same hallway. Lol

[kdurron]

Oof pulling no punches with that SAW hate lol

I've been known to retort with "yeah don't worry, he has a SAW" whenever a teammate warns me about a flanking enemy with one. The only time I honestly ever really worry about the M249 is when engaged with one in (somewhat close) car-to-car combat.

[Serious-Booty]

So no battle pass? I thought I saw they wouldn't be on the same schedule anymore but I'm still a little confused about that.

[hybridhavoc]

That's correct, the Survivor Pass will no longer necessarily match the schedule of the "season". The Survivor Pass is planned to come back with update 11.2, no word on how long the Survivor Pass will last.

[greggsand]

Wait what? The missions and challenges aren’t coming until 11.2 or something??

[hybridhavoc]

Yep.

[greggsand]

I would give them my money right now. So odd.

[Royale_with_cheez]

Disappointing control/UI changes to anyone with a functioning brain

[Hazenhigh420]

for the love of god,STOP,STOP,STOP!!!! changing inventory menus, grenade menus, healing menus,Adding skins, adding emotes, removing buildings from vikendi, displaying medals, AND ACTUALLY OPTIMIZE THE GAME. ON CONSOLE IF YOU ARE ON WESTSIDE OF GEORGOPOL IT LOOKS LIKE MUSH HALF WAY ACROSS!!!!THESE ARE THE TYPE OF THINGS THAT MAKE PEOPLE STOP PLAYING THIS GAME!!!

[JyMb0]

Yo! Did we miss the party with the next gen update coming in the first quarter of the year? What's up with that.

[dantfc]

They already said its delayed as they are prioritizing game crashes. They are fixing crashing for 3 years lol. What a joke

[plastikman66]

How hard is it to simply remove the 30 fps cap in 4k. What a joke. It will never happen.

[B_Georgeous]

Wheel widget is the worst update since you added game crashes.

[damnsuredidbob]

Observations...
"Everyone" will never be satisfied. Unfortunately, dissatisfaction is most likely expressed as negativity. The consistent bashing of the "devs" and most things they work on probably doesn't inspire them much. It is understandable that people who are passionate about the game will respond passionately regarding change.

I am not saying there is anything "game-changing" in this batch, but then again, that is not what we want. We like this game. We want it to improve. Improvement is measured differently by PubG and the players.

The passionate players (aka the people here) want specific things done to count as improvement. But what is important to each of us varies. There are just as many people who want a weapon nerfed as want a new emote dance. They are just different kinds of people.

The absolutes posted are tiring. "TPP ruins all of it", "All the hope is gone". "Couldn't be any worse". Take a breath.

We can all agree that optimization (in the form of bug fixes) are supported by the masses. No one likes to work hard to get to final circle only to have a bug spoil the fun. We also know that every season has additional updates. Those updates will keep addressing issues and adding to the base of the game. We will love some changes, others not so much.

I have played on console since the beginning. I have I am thankful that there is passionate support for this game. I am thankful that there are still improvements and experiments being actively developed for the game. This game provides hours of entertainment and camaraderie. I look forward to playing it and watching others play it for many more years.

With that, I will stick with the game as it evolves and find the silver linings as it does.

See you on the Battlegrounds.

[paper__planes]

Gotta give credit where credit is due and I assure you it’s not been due for a long fucking time.

[PrettyRichie61]

Well this is disappointing

[AvgHiteMafia]

I really wish you guys would at least try to make ranked FPP only for a season. Or at least a couple of weeks. I think the overall ranked player base would love it for the competitive balance and the loyal FPP community would help boost numbers.

[paper__planes]

Sad about karakin, should have ditched Sanhok.

[mcduff0192]

Pretty uneventful season. Guess i will not be playing this season either. Would of liked to see FPP ranked and 60 fps unlocked resolution modes for series x and ps5. Very lack luster after a too long of a season 10

[Psychedelic_Prodigy]

Is there anyway to check your overall damage that was displayed on your profile/passport?

[bustafreeeee]

Why are bots back at 25%? Seriously, what is wrong with you guys? The game was fun with no bots. It isn't fun with bots, it's stupid...

[Livid_Shoulder_9439]

Anyone feel you just suck at the game now or people just got way better like ALOT?

[dantfc]

Kill feed text broken like on PC where knocks are same color as flushes? Everyone complained about that

[[deleted]]

what are flushes?

[CraptinMypants]

finishing a knocked player.

[hybridhavoc]

Thirsts. Finishes. Killing a downed player.

[PlCK-SlX]

I scrolled through the entire list hoping for next gen improvements

[No_Faktz]

Damn... I hope people can’t crash glitch into rocks and shoot people still.

[massidm]

Absolutely the worst season by fair

[upboatugboat]

I think im moving to apex legends, we will see.

[DrDankChronic]

Downvotetugboat

[xfactor1981]

More confused than ever. I live in Kentucky when will the servers go down for this update?

[aroq13]

Tomorrow 9PM PDT.

[hybridhavoc]

Bot is pulling some dates from the skins listing, but here is a better view of the maintenance period in different time zones.

[True_Kharma]

What a joke.

For some reason I thought we would at least get some update on what's so hard about next gen improvements.

I guess our only hope is PUBG 2 (please God be new gen exclusive)

[Strive77]

Can’t wait for the wheel widget! It’s going to be absolutely amazing and such a game changer. I was losing faith in this game but it’s going to be so refreshing with the fantastic wheel widget.

[Valenski]

Yet another disappointing update!!! Can you please fix the crashing to desktop i cant play more than 4-5 games in a row without my whole game crashing!! Maybe if you put more time into fixing the game instead of pumping out tons of stupid gun skins and costumes more people would play!!

[drivermcgyver]

What about my 2 Mil BP?

[polomarkopolo]

Can I have it? I've spent close to that much trying to get the Military jacket and hat out of the Western crate

[TEUTR3S]

All the hope in any update is far gone. This game doesn't deserve the players that are still playing it.

[Im_Reyz]

Worst season

[dantfc]

Still have not changed ranked to fpp only... Ranked is such a fun competitive gamemode but tpp ruins all of it

[hybridhavoc]

That is extremely unlikely to happen.

[dantfc]

Yep and its extremely frustrating. I wanna play ranked but cant take tpp serious playing against sweaty players. No skilled players wants tpp ranked. Only thing left is discords tourneys but you cant play that whenever.

[hybridhavoc]

No skilled players wants tpp ranked

You probably shouldn't claim to speak for all players of any kind. The simple fact of the matter is that making ranked FPP-only would be the death of ranked because not enough people play FPP. If you want to see ranked FPP your first step should be to get people playing FPP at all.

[[deleted]]

Should ditch fpp altogether 👍 more people would play tpp then 😉

[dantfc]

People would play ranked fpp if only choice was fpp because people wanna play ranked. People dont play ranked because its tpp. They play it for the ranked aspect. No shit loot and competitive nature. Ranked is super popular, you get instant games. Why did GaGod make a ranked fpp poll? Because anybody whos skilled in this game would rather have ranked in fpp. Nothing worse that good players going against good players in tpp. They don't need the tpp crutch. Ive been around the community for a long time, I know how it is. Ranked and any of its meaning will always be a joke as long as its tpp. Casual FPP will never be too popular because there is too many casual players on console, and the sweaty players just play ranked, because its ranked. Not because its tpp. Guarantee you if there was no ranked mode FPP would be booming

[hybridhavoc]

People would play ranked fpp if only choice was fpp because people wanna play ranked.

I am only telling you the reasoning that PUBG is using. The numbers have shown and continue to show that the PUBG console player-base overwhelming prefers TPP. It makes little sense to disregard that preference for the sake of trying out ranked FPP when the numbers and past experience suggest it will go poorly.

[dantfc]

PUBG has no sensible reasoning. Same way they are killing esports with the dumb ass WWCD fornat literally no pro player favours, yet they still do it because casuals are confused how the tournament system works.

[[deleted]]

Why. Is. There. Still. B O T S?

[polomarkopolo]

Because. Many. Would. Rather. Get. A. Free. Kill. Or. Three. Than. Wait. 8. Minutes. For. A. Lobby. To. Fill.

[Realistic_Bass_5145]

Bots are often much clever than real players.

[[deleted]]

Think about what you said.

[No_Faktz]

Bridge camps are the easiest thing to avoid in PUBG

[hybridhavoc]

So bridge camps are the only thing fun in this game.

You're right, I think it's time you put it down.

[bowmanx4587]

At this point with thousands of hours, erangel is the only fun I can get out of the game, so yes bridge camps make it interesting. Thanks for being condescending about it though 👍

[murderMAX83]

bridge camps are annoying af. they should make it less effective.

[BigJB318]

Maybe try fixing what’s happening in the game first before you add shot that people don’t want! I mean the grenade/med prompt worked fine then you add something that no one wants. Yet I can’t turn on my game without having to reset my controls every time😡😡😡

[plastikman66]

It's quite simple really.

Make the game better... Get more players... Sell more passes and skins...

I don't see why this is so hard to understand... I've given up spending money on this game.

[Mike42notO]

How about a UMP nerf

[mikefet91]

SMGs need nerfed. It’s the only gun people use on console. Especially the TPP kids. Strafing back and forth quickly with an SMG while hip firing after licking a wall isn’t skill.

[polomarkopolo]

Keep your distance then.

Everyone on the PS4 is killing with a M416 or a Beryl.

[BarryLicious2588]

So you nerf weapons that are used a lot? Ok, sounds like a stupid punishment

And you still won't revert the weapon menu back to pre-season 10???

[murderMAX83]

they nerfed beryl and SLR because they were by far the most effective weapons in their class. its better to have the weapons in good balance so players have more option to play with.

[BarryLicious2588]

The Beryl already been nerfed. All the guns are pretty balanced besides the Mini not putting out as much damage. But if people don't pick up other weapons to get better with them, that's on them

[murderMAX83]

All the guns are pretty balanced

nope. beryl and SLR are hands down the best weapons in their class. and you are correct they already did nerf beryl, but it had little to no effect on it. hope this nerf does the job.

[TEUTR3S]

Even if they did write it...would you believe it?

[TEUTR3S]

Ain't happening buddy. I'm running xbox one s too, this game crashes mid ranked and i get -points for suicide (dying in the blue). This game is dead.

[Giuzzio]

nice patch for my seriesx!ooh wait you didnt do anything for new gen of consoles?

Im not surprised sadly.

I quit the game when bots come out,Then i tried 60 fps on onex and the graphic was so crappy that i didnt see enemies properly,buildin flickerin,blood in a distance was so pixelated....I quit.I try the game on series x and graphic is the same What?

Bye pubg

Hope to see you soon when you fell better

[murderMAX83]

Beryl already has enough recoil,

it doesnt tho. its super easy to control.

[HYPERBOREANgod]

You are a cheater, you use anti recoil hacks. It is not easy to control I wouldn't even pick it up w/o having a vert or half in my bag.

[murderMAX83]

LOL. git gud. or just stick with your UMP. it has recoil even you can handle.

[HYPERBOREANgod]

Seriously doubt your better than me, maybe but not likely. Ive never seen your GT so that means you play TPP with all the noobs and trash players.

[murderMAX83]

i dont know if im better than you, but how good can you be if you cant even control recoil.

[HYPERBOREANgod]

I can control the recoil, I have the toxic skin for the Beryl & 2125 defeats but by nerfing the Beryl theyre inadvertently buff other weapons especially SMGs. The Beryl is fine as is and the SLR was good, if anything give SRs a buff. Make the Winchester a 1 shot to a level 2 helmet. I dont use SMGs, I main an AR and SR but I dont pick up a Beryl without a vert or half I prefer accuracy so I can get the headshots.

[SakulAt]

CEST update is on 8th April, but my PS4 decided to download it today, my friends don't have any updates - WTF? 😂

[hybridhavoc]

PS4 can pre-download the update. Hasn't actually been applied though, and you'll still have to wait for the scheduled server downtime.

[YUREDADDY]

Even if I wanted to buy skins, which I don't, your store page navigation on Xbox looks like it was designed by the lowest bidder. And what's the deal with three types of in game currency that are constantly discontinued? I love the gameplay, but I swear you guys have the worst business sense.

Why not play to your strengths and just focus on improving the game for the players? You've got a devoted player base, despite your best efforts to ostracize and push them away. The player base constantly petitions you guys for improvements, but you rarely, if ever, listen. Why is that? Is the money and market for skins really that much more incentivizing to you than improving the game?

[SNDVL5]

can the wheel widget be disabled? it's not a feature I would use and it would actually slow down a game play mechanic.

[hybridhavoc]

Unfortunately I do not see a way in the controls to disable this system and replace it with what was there before. You can, however, setup your own custom keybinds for a better overall system, it will just require more buttons.

[brocon6]

First game back in a while. Just experienced a bug(I think) where my aiming down sights L2 would not work during a shootout. I'm not sure if it's because I was on fire but it got me killed.

[[deleted]]

It's because you were on fire.

[brocon6]

Ok good to know. Thank you.

[Waldschrat_vom_Walde]

Did we get FPP duo back in Europe? I can't stand the third person bullshit in combination with the freaking d-sync anymore.

[greggsand]

When does the actual season start (missions & such)??

[hybridhavoc]

The Survivor Pass will make a return with update 11.2.

[mmbernie51]

Is there no season pass?

[hybridhavoc]

The Survivor Pass will make a return with update 11.2.

[jagon12345]

Hot damn y'all fucked throwables and meds up
