Actually it should Test server for the 1.0 PC version of PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS has long been online, but had to be postponed due to unforeseen difficulties. Now the time has come, although the game version 100% is not stable, the developers have opened the test server and load the players at least on the 13th / 14th. 11. for testing.

Interested players can finally get the new one "Vaulting & climbing" - Jumping & climbing system - try it out. This should result in completely new tactics and previously safe sniper spots can now be bypassed better or perhaps reached from other sides.

The second big change concerns that Ballistic system. In previous blogs, the developers have already talked about improving ballistics and making it more realistic. The first variant is now on the test server.

In addition, improvements and optimizations will of course continue to be made to the game itself. Here are the short patch notes.
