New PUBG Xbox Update Hits Vehicles Hard With Nerfs

A new PUBG Xbox update has landed on the console, implementing a host of changes. The main focus of this patch, as seen in the entire list of gameplay tweaks below, is nerfing the vehicles. The developer is hitting transport incredibly hard with this patch, making them much more vulnerable.

Here’s the new PUBG Xbox update patch notes:

Gameplay

We’ve listened to your feedback and further modified the damage players can inflict on vehicles, increasing areas of vulnerability. This includes:
Increased damage to the vehicle body, and significant damage to the wheels when targeted with gunfire
Increased vehicle damage when successfully targeted with a grenade
Both driver and passenger will suffer increased injuries from crashing into objects or other vehicles (Dacia, UAZ, and Buggy)
Slight reduction to player damage when being struck by a vehicle

Optimization

Continued optimization to controller input lag
Visual quality of the reticle is improved for Xbox One (Red Dot, Holographic, and 2x Sight)

Bug fixes

Resolved issue where inventory may highlight the wrong column when looting
The sensitivity setting for 4x Scope is now also applied to the permanent scope on the VSS
Auto-run (double-clicking the left stick) is disabled when aiming down sights
Players can now use the D-Pad while in the map view without switching melee, pistol, or throwing weapons
Removing the marker from the map when pressing (Y) will no longer switch primary/secondary weapons
Fixed issue where the crosshair is not correctly displayed after players reconnect to a game session

It looks like players will have to start learning how to actually shoot, instead of just running folks over… Good luck with that, Xbox users!

In other PUBG news, Xbox has said that sales for the console version are “very big,” netcode analysis shows that the game has a big problem, and the Battle Royale Trainer is here to help players improve.
