There are mountain bikes now!






WHAT'S NEW?
There have been a lot of changes since 2017, but surprisingly most of them aren't terrible.

  • New cars - dirt bikes, fast cars, Hyundais, oh my.
  • Gliders - 2 seats so you can snipe people from the air while your buddy crashes into a mountain
  • Mountain bikes - store in your inventory and ride them when you need to.
  • Pick-up parachutes - for when you can't find a car and need to get to the circle.
  • P90 - it's a nasty crate gun
  • More ARs which aren't as good as the M4! The Beryl is the best though.
  • Weapon throwing - long range pannage.
  • Parachutes - look on the roofs of Miaramar
  • Carrying knocked people (even enemies) - taking hostages to a new level
  • Swimming while knocked - ok?!
  • In game currencies and crafting and modular skins!!! - no one has any idea how this works


LOOT
They removed clothing loot spawns and generally loot is improved from the early days in which you could go buildings without finding anything more than a 1985 Swimsuit edition of Sports Illustrated.


MAPS

Hilariously, no one cares about this game so there is no single site where you can easily interactively see all maps.

Big maps

Erangel
8x8 - Map 1 - 100 players
The OG PUBG experience with massive fields to run through, bridge camping, and everyone going to die at school. It's been remastered and largely improved since 2017 with added cover, updated buildings, etc. They also added a ferry between Military & Ferry Pier.


Miramar
8x8 - Map 2 - 100 players
Miramar is notable for it's 1337 sniping opportunities and being littered with cars people have flipped over while trying to navigate the terrain. Miramar has similarly been remastered and largely improved since 2017. They for some reason changed the map image recently and made it harder to see terrain and dirt roads (why bluehole????). PS. large buildings frequently have parachutes on the roof.


Taego
8x8 - Map 8 - 100 players
Fairly similar to Erangel and very fun. Introduces a lot of new content including: the iconic 1974 Hyundai Pony, some weird open truck where you can share loot in the trunk while driving, the comeback arena where your bad team mates can get back in the game if they die before the first zone.


Vikendi
6x6 - Map 4 - 100 players
The winter wonderland, Vikendi. Notable for being the snow map without snow because ???. Bluehole also gutted a lot of compounds and cities at some point, but it's still a fun map. It has trains!



Small maps

Sanhok
4x4 - Map 3 - 100 players
This jungle is specifically designed, then remastered, to have you get third partied as soon as you shoot anyone. Enjoy being shot in the back!


Paramo
3x3 - Map 6 - 64 players
Paramo is a small map that combines the hill play of Miramar with the grassy look of Erangel. Beware of the bushes.


Karakin
2x2 - Map 5 - 64 players

Karakin is a miniature Miramar meat grinder filled with secret tunnels, black zones, and usually no hope of winning unless you get the circle.

Haven
1x1 - Map 7 - 32 players
The second newest map before Taego. This map was pretty universally disliked by everyone. It did include PVE fights with boss bots and an armored tank as well as parachutes on top of buildings.


Rotation maps
For some reason Vikendi, Paramo, and Karakin have been on a rotation the last few months where you can only play one or two of them throughout an entire patch.

How many players vs bot's are in the quick play queue

Really depends on what time your playing. Mornings its more bots, towards the midday/afternoons there are no bots.

I played a frankly concerning amount of this game from like late 2018 until March 2020. Last map release I was active for was Karakin. Have the changes in anticheat systems really fixed the problems with all of the blatant cheating? Also, does the game still have that weird thing with fire rates and the refresh rate on your monitor causing issues? I had all kinds of issues with automatic weapons compared to semi-auto because of that. If both of those have been addressed then playing w/ goons sounds amazing.

It is leaps and bounds better than what it used to be. There are still cheaters but its 1 every 100 games. I have not had any issues recently with fire rates and refresh rates causing weird monitor issues. The new current bug is the smoke grenades, whoever fires the first one in a match can be heard all over the whole map.
