PUBG players will be pleased to know a new update is on its way, and boy is it a whopper. PC Update #21 has it all – bug fixes, new content, and even a shiny new rewards system. It’s currently only available on test servers, but should be in the main game fairly soon.
From looking at the patch notes, the biggest change seems to be the inclusion of the training mode teased last week in a short video. The mode comes with its own map – a 2×2 island where up to 20 players can practise “all aspects of PUBG gameplay”.
PUBG Corp has also re-structured the game’s rewards system. The focus largely appears to be on rewarding players for time spent in game, regardless of how many kills they get in matches. The new “supply system”, for instance, allows players to earn crates through completing missions and from their in-match survival time. This involves levelling up to claim rewards by filling a “survival gauge with survival XP”. It sounds a little like a free version of the PUBG Event Pass. The BP system is also getting a re-working, and will similarly consider playtime alongside player ranking.
