PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS makes the first major adjustment to the loot system. In the meantime, a whole team takes care of the evaluation of the data on loot spawns and the distribution of weapons and items in the game. Based on these analyzes, there will be several revisions over the next few weeks. Since the game is still in Early Access, the developers use the opportunity to try out different variants, so you shouldn't see any intermediate step as final.
Due to a bug, items appeared either too much or too little. This problem was found when changing the internal lottables. While tracking the bug, the programmers found that it ran through several loottables and have now adapted and improved them.
The developers focus on generating the entire loot. In order to guarantee the most positive gaming experience possible for all players, they also deal extensively with the feedback from the community.
There is also a new weapon, the Groza, which can only be found in the Care Packages:
Below you will find the complete patch notes of the update:
