PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS Hardcore mode with 1st person
The variant of the normal game, known in battle royale circles as hardcore, offers a special challenge because you don't look over the shoulder of the character as usual and thus have a much better overview. By restricting the view of the 1st person point of view, the players have to be more careful and tactical than usual.
Especially at the end of a match when the game area is getting smaller and smaller, you have to look around more and more often, especially to the rear, so as not to be shot from ambush.
The new 1st person servers will initially only be available for EU / NA Solo & Duo games. After a test period in which the system has been improved again and polished according to the feedback from the players, it should also be available for the other regions.
We will bring 1st person only to EU / NA SOLO & DUO games first, and once we have polished the system, we will expand to other regions.

Another feature that the players are hoping for is also already in the works and will hopefully appear next month: The Field of Vision setting. This regulator is very important for many players, especially in 1st person matches. According to a developer, they are already testing the feature internally and are still putting it through its paces. Depending on these tests, it could be available to all PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS players in the next few weeks.
