We are constantly designing and redesigning aspects of the UI to come up with the best player experience.

To be clear, adding the weapon mastery experience is not going to make the UI slower or more laggy, we are in fact shipping small improvements to allow more performant UI in the future. We want to continue down this path so we can incrementally improve past features and ship new features like Mastery.

Hitting level 100 in Weapon Mastery is a pretty awesome achievement. You're currently rewarded with a MINIUNKNOWN charm for that milestone, but we're always on the look out for more ways to both incentivize and reward players. There are a ton of cool rewards we can come up with. Currently charms are our focus and it's a safe bet that this batch of charms won't be the last.

BattleStat skins are still pretty new and currently occupy a unique spot in PUBG. There are still ongoing discussions about just how and where they'll fit in long-term.

Pans are made of such a strong material that engraving is literally impossible.

We want Weapon Mastery charms to only ever be earned through Weapon Mastery, but there may be room to issue new charms through other methods in the future.

I think most of these questions were answered in other threads and the dev letter here: https://www.pubg.com/2019/04/15/introducing-weapon-mastery/

However, in regards to the future of medals:

We designed a system that allowed you to show off these items to other players, but it didn't feel quite right. We held off on shipping it while we go back to the drawing board to think of better ways to display your emblems & medals to your friends, and maybe even your enemies ;)

Just when I think you couldn't possibly be any dumber, you go and do something like this... and TOTALLY REDEEM YOURSELF!

You’re telling me this is what you want?

Nope! No time limit to unlock charms, Weapon Mastery is a permanent system with no resets. Oh.. and all Weapon Mastery rewards are free to earn and cannot be purchased.

I love the idea of streamer charms, but we'll need to discuss this one further. Thanks for the suggestion! <3

Each weapon has a tier emblem that serves as a visual shorthand for your current level. These tier emblems get fancier every 10 levels. While leveling up, your awesome weapon accomplishments are highlighted by medals.

Giving players the opportunity to show off their accomplishments and personalize their look are very high on our priority list.

Interesting. Very, very, VERY....interesting.

Hi all,

Live servers will undergo maintenance for 4 hours starting Apr 9 5:30pm PDT / Apr 10 2:30am CEST / Apr 10 9:30am KST.

Once maintenance is complete, bug fixes will be live for the following issues:

• Fixed bandage sound from continually playing after death, if a player was killed while mid-bandage
• Fixed healing items being heard further away than intended (approx. 30m)
  • The audible range is now approximately 10 meters
• Fixed voice chat volume / microphone volume being flipped in the settings

We'll be making significant changes to the implementation of the new rustling sounds. They'll now be much less intrusive and distracting overall after maintenance. Thanks everyone for your INTENSE (but fair) feedback on the original implementation, please let us know what you think of the changes. We'll continue to make changes based on player feedback.

Some players may have also noticed some issues ...

Hi all,

Maintenance has started and I thought this would be a good time to generate some discussion around Vikendi. Upon release, it was pretty popular! But over time, it started to get picked much less.

I want to pick your brain and if you don't enjoy Vikendi, I'd love to know why.

From the feedback I've seen, the most common complaints are what players consider boring circles, performance issues and low-end heavy loot (much higher ratios of SMGs compared to ARs/DMRs/SRs).

Hi everyone,

We’ve received lots of feedback regarding long matchmaking times from players in multiple regions, as well as players being placed in only one or two maps repeatedly when using Quick Join.

We are well aware of these concerns and take them very seriously. Our development team have been closely reviewing the current matchmaking system and conducting analysis to identify areas where improvements can be made.

We have released an update to live servers with improvements to matchmaking based on our matchmaking analysis and player feedback.

Here are the newly implemented changes:

General Matchmaking

• Improved matchmaking times when selecting individual maps.
• Reduced instances of infinite matchmaking times on some maps.

Quick Join

• Improved functionality to better distribute players across all maps when using Quick Join.
  • Playe...

Hey all,

Flare Guns were added to public matches a few weeks ago and since then we've received lots.. and lots of feedback. In general, players for the most part enjoy the concept and action they can add to the mid-game, but many players are unhappy with the initial implementation.

We've heard your feedback and will be making changes to the implementation of Flare Guns in an upcoming update scheduled for live servers March 27th. We'll be first putting the changes on the Test Server March 20th.

Thanks to everyone who participated in our Flare Gun feedback thread here on Reddit, or shared feedback with us across any of our channels.

So, what changes are we making?

Hi all,

Just a quick heads up that we've released a hotfix to live servers which fixes the issue causing some items to be unlootable.

https://twitter.com/PUBG_Support/status/1102530418883088386

No server downtime needed, just restart your Steam client to ensure the update has been downloaded.

We are aware and working on multiple other issues from Update #26 including:

• Some foliage blocks bullets
• Vehicles continuing to move/roll after exiting them even when stopped
• Some closed doors appearing open when in close proximity of them
• Player feedback regarding too many Flare Gun spawns and general noise complaints related to this feature

Cheers everyone!

Hi everyone,

We understand this is seriously frustrating for all of you. Our team is actively investigating and working to get to the bottom of the issue.

This isn't a Roccat specific issue, it's only affecting some users and appears to be related to varied, yet specific models of keyboards and mice. If you too are experiencing this issue, please let us know what model of device you're using, the firmware version, operating system version and software used with the device.

Hey everyone,

Recently, the community has raised an issue where, in several games including PUBG, the firing rate of weapons was being affected by the frames per second of a player’s PC. Today, we wanted to take a moment to talk about the cause of this issue and what we’re doing to help alleviate it in PUBG.

The current implementation of shooting in burst or full-auto mode relies on the use of timers, or triggers if you will. A timer executes a function after a certain, preset time has passed. On the current live server, this fixed delay is taken directly from rate of fire. After the time set in this timer has passed, it is executed on the next possible frame, as it cannot occur between frames. Should the weapon continue to fire, a new trigger is set automatically with the same fixed delay.

As such, there could sometimes be errors and discrepancies between expected time of fire vs the timer’s execution. This error can be anywhere between 0 and the tota...
