Xbox - December 21 PTS Patch Notes (Xbox One & PS4)

Hey everyone,

This week, we are updating the PTS with lots of exciting content for you to test out! This update will include our new 6x6km map Vikendi, new weapons, Graphical Settings Options, and many quality of life and bug fixes.

Please note that the parachute overhaul is currently being optimized for console and will be released in an update at a later date.

Check out the full patch notes below!

For those who haven’t yet used the PTS
The PTS is a separate PUBG server that’s free to download for anyone who already owns a copy of PUBG. The purpose of the test server is not just to provide a preview of upcoming features, but to find the issues we need to solve so we can push the content to live as smoothly as possible. The changes listed below are all coming to the PTS first because many of the changes still needs to be tested to see if there are any issues with performance.

All player data, statistics, etc from the test server will not carry over to your live server account.

To take part in the test, all you have to do is own a copy of PUBG for Xbox One and search for “PUBG Test Server” on the Microsoft Store.

PTS Open Schedule
  • KST: December 21 2:00PM
  • PST: December 20 9:00PM
  • CET: December 21 6:00AM

For healthy matchmaking, some modes have been disabled in PTS. Please see below for available queues:
  • NA, EU - TPP Solo, TPP Squad
  • Vikendi will be the only map available to play on PTS.

NEW MAP - VIKENDI


Vikendi
Gameplay

  • Vikendi is a 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 have less traction on 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.

NEW AR: G36C

  • G36C spawns only in Vikendi
    • Chambered for 5.56mm ammo, it can load 30 bullets and 40 with an Extended Magazine
    • G36C has a lower and upper rail for attachments, but cannot attach a stock

NEW SIDEARM: SKORPION

  • Added a new handgun, the Skorpion
    • The Skorpion spawns on all maps
    • Single fire and full auto fire mode
    • Uses 9mm ammo, it can load up to 20 bullets and 40 with an Extended Magazine
    • Attachments:
      • Sight: Red dot sight
      • Muzzle: Suppressor
      • Lower Rail: Vertical Foregrip, Half Grip, Light Grip, Laser Sight
      • Stock: Stock for Micro UZI
      • Magazine: Extended Magazine only
    • Skorpion is also available in the Training Mode. Have fun!

NEW VEHICLE: SNOWMOBILE

  • Added a new vehicle - Snowmobile
  • The Snowmobile only spawns in Vikendi
  • It seats 2 players and performs much better than other vehicles on snow and ice, but is more difficult to drive on other terrain.

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
  • Added graphical settings option for Xbox One X

Graphical Settings Options (Xbox One X)
For this initial round of testing, the graphical settings options will only be available for Xbox One X players. We are actively developing these options and are aiming to have them ready for all Xbox consoles as soon as possible (Xbox OG/S will have different settings).
  • Framerate Priority
    • Sets the resolution to 2560 x 1440 and enables V-Sync. This setting is recommended for a more consistent framerate.
  • Resolution Priority
    • Sets the resolution to 3840 x 2160 and enables V-Sync. This setting is recommended for a higher level of visual fidelity.
  • Dynamic Resolution (NOT AVAILABLE FOR TESTING YET)
    • Changes the resolution in real-time. This is the best setting for ensuring an optimal balance between framerate and visual fidelity.
    • Further details are being finalized and tested internally.

Gameplay
  • Decreased recoil of the P18C
  • Improved the sound settings in option
    • The sound settings are now separated into Master Volume, FX Volume, UI Volume and Music Volume
  • 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

Performance
  • Improved the client performance by optimizing the creation of character materials
  • Improved performance by mitigating an issue causing thin objects to flicker.
  • Optimized particles in rainy weather.
  • Adjusted the parachute and character sync rate depending on the distance to improve server performance
  • Optimized weapon target calculation overhead.
  • Optimized culling logic of invisible instanced mesh.
  • Optimized overall character movement cost.
  • Reduced level streaming hitches.
  • Reduced physics creation hitches.

Report
  • Added the report player function to event mode games
  • Press 'Y' to report the killer
  • When reporting someone who had team-killed you, there will be an option of reporting "Teamkill"
  • You cannot report the same player more than once in one game

Trust me this is going 60fps. This is Mike Ybarra game.

Yeah good thing I didnt trust you. Over a year later and they are still struggling to have the game run at a consistent 30fps on all consoles.

Meanwhile H1Z1, fortnite, and blackout are all better looking and run at 60fps

Yeah, good thing I didn't listened to myself!

I can't even trust me!
 
I played last week one night with a few friends for the first time since BO4 came out. While it did take me a few to get back comfortable with controls the game is still a lot of fun with friends. I’ve kinda missed it.

Played this game 10 minutes then deleted. Boring, same with Black Out or any Battle royale.

That's fine, there's so many games to play that it's prob a good thing that this genre doesn't click with you. For me, it's the time needed to be put in to be good that becomes the obstacle, even though I find this fun I know I would enjoy it more if I got semi good at it. My time for games are, I'm sorry to say, too limited today.

10 minutes? Ireally hope that is a buls*** exaggeration.

Here is the thing with PUBG, it can be as boring or exciting as you make it. Me, I like a slow start and have it ramp up. as tge game progresses. Others like to avoid fights at all costs and go for those stealth wins. Others are action junkies and make action happen.

Yeah. One of the great things about PUBG is the ‘play it how you want to’ style they use. I like the boring starts personally and usually avoid action until the end unless I’m forced into it
 
Patience is a big part of many battle royale games, especially early in the round. In PUBG, you can spent a lot of time just camping and sitting around.

Sometimes the hardest thing to do in a BR game is to sit and do nothing. I've won games with 2 kills total.

It comes down to thinking and reacting. I love it because it is so different than traditional FPS games.
 
Liking the new Vekendi map. Just feels different to all the others. The new weapons are pretty sweet. G36C is solid and the Skorpion is a monster in buildings/confined areas.

Was surprised to see level 3 hemets back in world-spawns now.

Is it in the regular game yet or test servers?

It’s still on the Test Server. The map is really enjoyable. Played two games of it earlier. It’s hard to see the zone marker with white background though. Hopefully that will change on the main release.
 
Right now I like Blackout more than PUBG. PUBG feels old. I only have a couple rounds in PUBG though. I guess spend more time in it to see what the draw is.
 
I still like both games. PUBG still feels clunky though once you get used to COD movement. COD still has the level 3 armor problem where people turn into walking tanks which seems to be the only way to win. I still like in PUBG how you can get really far by simply hiding and being patient.

What I still think PUBG has over Blackout is slow paced intensity. While I do enjoy Blackouts more fast paced feel and being able to play more matches in a shorter amount of time, I’ve missed how intense PUBG gets at times during a match. I don’t really feel that intensity much during Blackout matches a lot I tend to play it more in the fast paced shooter mindset and play aggressive all the time.

PUBG is and will be the best BR game for a while. Things like COD and Battlefield wont surpass it because modes like Blackout & firestorm are just extensions of those games. That doesn't mean they are bad either.

Fortnite and Blackout suffer the same big issue IMO, they are both casual games and because of that they have crap endgames with no intensity or sense of accomplishment. Sure, those gamed might be more polished, but I'll take PUBGs crazy intensity over a bit more polish.

Unless you got it on PS4/PC then you really didn't give it much of a try. You like Blackout cause the COD experience is familiar and easier. PUBG takes time to learn, has a big skill gap, isn't an experience many console players are familiar.

Thanks Menace. I plan on spending more time in it. I played another round last night. Didn’t turn out so well. I jumped out of the plane and waited last minute and landed in an area away from people. I built up my inventory and took my time heading out towards the center of the map. Crawling hiding walking. Next thing I knew I was way deep in the blue. So I start running and running and my health is depleting. I keep running and my health drops to a third and I see a car and hop in to drive out of the blue. I see the border as I am driving towards it. I hit a burned up car that is blocking the road by accident, I fly out of my car through the window and my car rolls over me and kills me at the blue border line.

Perfect 😂

Lol. Been there a million times.

Honestly, the quickest way to get better is just to hot drop in the popular areas. You will die alot but that is fine. Onnce you get the gunplay skills up you can start improving map knowledge by random drops, and figuring out the zone mechanics. Sanhok and Vikendi have unique zone mechanics.
 
Well, I'll be! Get this s***.....Bluehole has their office next to my wife's! They are making this god damn video game next to her. She see's them in the hallways. Who would have god damn known. The only reason she told me (she has no idea who Bluehole is) is because she was at work and she saw an older article about a gaming company moving into her building, saw the name of the company and then saw the people.

I wonder if I could go up there if they would let me in.
