New PUBG Update Improves Savage Map Gameplay Experience

New PUBG Update

A new PUBG update has rolled out to the game’s closed experimental server, bringing some significant changes to the Savage map. Those playing during the 48-hour testing window will notice that the red and blue zones act a little differently, and that more grenades are spawning.

Check out the full list of PUBG update patch notes below:

New PUBG Update Patch Notes:

Redzone

  • The redzone’s size and duration have both been decreased.

Bluezone

  • A new feature enables the bluezone to calculate and adjust its waiting time based on the number of players left alive.

Spawn Balance

  • Grenades now spawn more often.
  • The strongest scope which can be obtained from care packages is now the 8x scope.
  • Total numbers of boats spawned has been decreased, but boats now spawn more predictably along the towns near the sea.

Map Changes

  • Three new areas have been added.

Here’s a reminder of how much time is remaining before the closed experimental server is taken offline:
