PUBG PC 1.0 Update 19

This patch features a ton of game changes and quality of life improvements including limb penetration, improvements to item stacking and weapon attachment UI, "Uncapped" FPS setting, dynamic weather on Erangel and Miramar and performance optimizations

PGI has come and gone and while we’re thrilled with how our first ever world tournament went off, we’re also happy to be able to dive back into a normal schedule and implement some key changes. Today’s improvements are the first step in a recommitment to improving quality of life, fixing bugs, and making PUBG the best game it can be. We’ll talk more about that next week. For now, thank you all for supporting PGI and be sure to read on for what’s coming up in patch 19! Gameplay

  • Bullet penetration system is now applied to arms and hands.
    • When bullet hits the arm/hand of the character, it will penetrate following its ballistic curve. The result will be different depending on whether the arm/hand is blocking more vulnerable body parts.
      • When a bullet penetrates a arm/hand and strikes a more vulnerable body part behind it, the greater damage will be applied. In other words, if a player’s arm/hand takes a bullet while blocking their head, the full headshot damage will be applied. This penetration system works for the head, torso, and waist only.
      • If a bullet penetrates the arm/hand, but no vulnerable body part is behind it, only the arm/hand damage will be applied
    • Arm/hand penetration is disabled for shotguns
    • Bullet penetration is not applied to legs.
  • When exiting vehicles while pressing the sprint key, sprint now remains engaged. This way you won’t have to release and press the button again to start sprinting.
  • If a teammate disconnects, but is still alive in game, other teammates couldn’t see the game reward (result) screen after all other teammates died. Now players can check even if there are disconnected players in their team.
    • If a disconnected teammate reconnects the game, and finishes the game with better result, teammates will receive any additional rewards earned by that player.
    • To prevent abuse, other teammates cannot see the Deathcam until all players, including the disconnected player, have died.
Farewell PGI 2018!

  • In-game PGI advertisements and team logo graffiti have been removed.
