What’s the next element of PlayerUnknown’s Battleground’s FIX PUBG campaign? Training mode.
“The PUBG Training Mode lets 5-20 players (solo queue with matchmaking) explore a brand new 2×2 km map and practice all aspects of PUBG, from driving the game’s various vehicles around the island’s race tracks, to practicing parachute landings on scattered targets, to mastering the perfect peek shot,” Bluehole explains on Steam. “There are even areas to practice vaulting, close-quarters combat, and of course, sweet vehicle jumps.”
The goal, the devs say, is to ease newbies and casuals into an understanding of how navigation, movement, and looting works, but of course there’s plenty of things for hardcores to practice and test and break too.
This week, the company also updated players on its ongoing efforts to improve server performance. “Granular” would be a charitable way of describing the tech dev diary; suffice it to say that it’s hard, it’s getting better, and they’re still working on it.
Improving server performance is a key part of our Fix PUBG efforts. In this new letter from our dev team, we’re sharing some in-depth information on the progress we’ve made so far. https://t.co/T1JLRSSvxj pic.twitter.com/epoRW89SST
