PUBG's Xbox One Test Server Patch Notes Released

3.4
The patch notes for the PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds test server have been released with the much-anticipated bullet penetration and dynamic weather features included.

PUBG’s Xbox team has been previewing those features and more for a while now, all of which are finally testable on the console’s special servers that let players sample the changes to come. Sharing news of the reopening of the public test server (PTS) on Twitter and through the game’s Xbox forums, the team invited everyone to come try out what’s new before the update goes live for all players.


Getting one of the most talked about features out of the way first, the patch notes opened with the limb penetration system that’s finally coming to the Xbox One. This means that players will no longer have their bullets frustratingly blocked by an arm that waves in front of an opponents head with the damage now being applied to other parts of the enemies’ bodies if the bullets penetrate limbs. The patch notes went into more detail about how this new feature would work.

Gameplay
Bullet penetration system is now applied to forearms.
When a bullet hits the forearm of the character, it will penetrate following its ballistic trajectory. The result will be different depending on whether the forearm is blocking more vulnerable body parts.
When a bullet penetrates a forearm and strikes a more vulnerable body part behind it, the greater damage will be applied. In other words, if a player’s forearm takes a bullet while blocking their head, the full headshot damage will be applied. This penetration system works for the head, torso, and waist only.
If a bullet penetrates the forearm, but no vulnerable body part is behind it, only the forearm damage will be applied
Forearm penetration is disabled for shotguns
When getting on a motorbike, if the driver’s seat is empty, it’s now much easier to enter the driver’s seat (and not accidentally get on the passenger seat).




Alongside that feature is the addition of dynamic weather to diversify the game’s existing maps. On both the Erangel and Miramar battlegrounds, PUBG Corp. added “Overcast” effects with Miramar also having a “Sunset” setting. Maps with the Overcast effect will have various weathers throughout the game that include rain, fog, and more, the video above previewing some of these changes.

JOEYKMODS this update looks promising, im just hoping these bugs get fixed soon.

Nothing is gonna get fixed lol, they always talk about improving it on console, but they spend all there time on PC. Which i think is fine as it's completely shit on console lol. Id rather just have it on PC anyways to be honest.

PUBG just waited to long, now they are doing what they need to do which is great, but at the wrong time as everyone is grinding tf out of Fortnite lol. Its gonna take alot for PUBG to make a big come back to be honest.

I think PUBG's really fallen behind Fortnite, and while I understand they're different games, I wish PUBG would take after Fortnite more in the sense of the amount of content releases / dynamic challenges.
