PLAYERUNKNOWN & #039; S BATTLEGROUNDS

Today the 18th update for PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS PC 1.0 appears on the public test server. PUBG 1.0 Patch #18 contains a new Sanhok exclusive weapon and vehicle, as well as the new feature of Custom Matches.

PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS - Custom Matches

The Custom match feature will be tested extensively on the PTR for the time being, before it will hopefully be made available to all players on the live servers. In a custom match, players can set all parameters of the match. From the spawn rates for weapons, armor, vehicles to the behavior of the circles, everything can be varied. It should even be possible to create war modes and zombie mode game types.

A somewhat detailed blog by the PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS developers on the subject Custom Matches was launched today on Steam released.

The new weapon that comes with the update is the QBU and can be found on the Sanhok map instead of the Mini 14:
