Auf dem PTS Server von PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds kann die neue Schneekarte Vikendi schon gespielt werden.

Seit heute Morgen können Spieler von PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds die neue Karte Vikendi auf dem PTS Server spielen. Wer den PTS Clienten installiert hat, erhielt ein neues Update, welches auf der Xbox One X eine Größe von 19,34 GB hat.

Auf dem Testserver könnt ihr neben der neuen Schneekarte Vivendi eine Vielzahl an Änderungen ausprobieren und euer Feedback dazu abgeben, ehe sie auf die Liveserver übertragen werden. Unter anderem wurde das Waffenarsenal um die G36C und die Skorpion erweitert und ihr könnt mit dem Schneemobil über die Karte brettern.

Auch die neuen Grafikmodi dürfen getestet werden. Zunächst stehen zwei von drei neuen Modi zur Auswahl, bei denen ihr zwischen Framerate und Auflösung als Priorität wählen dürft. Ausprobieren können die neuen Grafikmodi vorerst aber nur Besitzer einer Xbox One X Konsole. Die Modi werden aber für alle Xbox One Konsolenmodelle entwickelt.

Erfahrt in den Patch Notes für den PTS, welche Neuerungen und Anpassungen euch noch auf dem Testserver erwarten.

PTS Patch Notes

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
  • Controller Guide can now be seen from the lobby from settings

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
  • Added auto-reload option
    • When enabled, you will reload weapons automatically when you try to fire while your magazine is empty

    Ich schaue mir die Map mal an, wenn sie soweit fertig gepatcht und einigermaßen spielbar ist. Schnee Maps sind aber immer eine gute Sache.
