How did this happen? Surely, you took note of the mini-map that showed your icon embedded within the red transparent circle, and heeded the warning of the on-screen notification stating the red zone would be starting soon. Obviously, you took note of the "Warning! Red zone has started!" message, and took shelter within the nearest building. No? You didn’t try to avoid the red zone at all? It may be time to rethink your strategy; a sentiment shared by Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds lead designer and director, Brendan Gre There have been more loot boxes added to **PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds ** in the last few months than actual content updates. Thankfully, some meaningful changes and updates are already being deplo As PUBG came closer to launch, many of the small updates, in addition to the expected refinements and tweaks, included new weapons or clothing items, with the former primarily being loot crate-exclusive guns that weren’t common enough to have a drastic impact on the core gameplay for most players. While these small additions were welcome, and would continue to be so over the months to come, Bluehole will have to set their sights higher if they want to keep old players returning and attract new players. Considering how large an impact the second map has made upon the playerbase, concrete details regarding a third or fourth map could spark intrigue among the community, as well as the assortment of new vehicles that could be found within it. Beyond the predictable, Bluehole and PUBG Corp. likely have a few surprises up their sleeves as PUBG enters its second year and it will be interesting to see whether or not the developers can curb the current downward trend of one of 2017’s definitive titles. With the overwhelming nature by which PUBG captured the gaming industry’s attention, it was inevitable that several other developers would hop on the train and integrate battle-royale style modes into their own ongoing franchises. Easily the most popular of these recent spin-offs has been Fortnite: Battle Royale, a free-to-play version with a cartoon aesthetic and over forty million players since its launch last summer. As the current competitor with the biggest opportunity to take PUBG down a notch, Bluehole should embrace this healthy competition and look into what has kept Fortnite within reach of its own arena survival title. While we did address a few elements that the developer could look into in an article of ours from last year, Fortnite has more recently begun to introduce limited-time modes that spice up the formula, such as 50v50 team deathmatches . There’s no need for PUBG to directly steal any of Fortnite’s modes, but Epic Games’ willingness to creatively expand upon the core mechanics with interesting new twists is a potential-heavy notion that the team at PUBG Corp could stand to benefit from if they’re looking to entice players back to their smash hit. That's not the only good news because according to a tweet by Skin-Tracker, data mining for the new update reveals that new weapon attachments are incoming. New 3x and 6x scopes will be coming, in addition to a Duckbill attachment for shotguns which will increase their horizontal spread. That said, since the developers themselves haven't confirmed these new additions, this information should be taken with a pinch of salt for At this point, very few people within the various communities of gaming need an explainer regarding the multiplayer phenomenon that is PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. Over the past eleven months, the survival title has broken numerous player and sales records , while consistently shocking and entertaining the internet with its onslaught of clips and GIFs that highlight the insanity of the hundred-player arena game. As developer Bluehole finally pushed PUBG out of early access at the end of last year, the most-played title for months on Steam has finally started to show some cracks in its armor, with Steam Charts reporting a loss of average players of over one hundred thousand over the past thirty days, marking the first decline in the title’s history. As alarming as that may seem, there’s no reason for panic quite yet; PUBG’s impressive numbers inevitably had to dip after such a lengthy run and the title is still the number one played game on Steam by over a million players. There is, however, reason to be concerned if that decay continues over the weeks and months to come, but there are some steps Bluehole and PUBG Corporation can take to avoid any major drops beyond the inevitable. Like many other early access titles, Bluehole did an admirable job of keeping fans informed on the short and long-term plans of PUBG. From weekly patches to minor overhauls and brand-new features, Bluehole embraced their ever-growing fanbase through teases on social media and trailers at E3 to showcase the imminent future of the best-seller. This continued until PUBG 1.0 launched in December, and ever since the developer and its community representatives have kept relatively quiet, leaving many fans in a period of confusion and growing disinterest in regards to the game’s future. While this likely isn’t the only reason for the game’s recent droppage, Bluehole should resume their initiative to keep fans informed on what lies on the horizon now that PUBG has officially released, including not only the rumored PS4 release, but the core game’s new features, weapons, maps, improvements and more. Fortunately, [https://Resumesarea.com/ PUBG updates] Corp community manager Sammie Kang addressed an upcoming roadmap for PUBG in early 2018 on Twitter, meaning this key step towards repairing the developer’s relation with its fans could be arriving in the near future.

While we did address~~ a ~~few elements that the developer could look into~~ in ~~an article of ours from last year~~, ~~Fortnite has more recently begun~~ to ~~introduce limited-time modes that spice up~~ the ~~formula~~, ~~such as 50v50 team deathmatches~~ . ~~There’s no need~~ for ~~PUBG~~ to ~~directly steal any of Fortnite’s modes, but Epic Games’ willingness~~ to ~~creatively expand upon the core mechanics with interesting new twists is a potential-heavy notion that the~~ team at ~~PUBG Corp could stand~~ to ~~benefit from if they’re looking~~ to ~~entice players back~~ to ~~their smash hit~~.<br><br> <br>~~That~~'s ~~not~~ the ~~only good news because according to a tweet by Skin-Tracker~~, ~~data mining~~ for the new ~~update reveals that new weapon attachments are incoming. New 3x~~ and ~~6x scopes~~ will be ~~coming,~~ in ~~addition to a Duckbill attachment for shotguns which will increase their horizontal spread~~. ~~That said, since the developers themselves haven~~'t ~~confirmed these new additions~~, ~~this information should be taken with~~ a ~~pinch~~ of ~~salt for~~ <br><br>~~At this point~~, ~~very few people within the various communities of gaming need an explainer regarding the multiplayer phenomenon that is PlayerUnknown’s~~ Battlegrounds. ~~Over~~ the ~~past eleven months~~, the ~~survival title~~ has ~~broken~~ numerous ~~player and sales records~~ , ~~while consistently shocking~~ and ~~entertaining~~ the ~~internet with~~ its ~~onslaught of clips and GIFs~~ that ~~highlight the insanity~~ of the ~~hundred-player arena game~~. ~~As developer Bluehole finally pushed PUBG out~~ of ~~early access at~~ the ~~end of~~ last year, ~~the most-played title for months on Steam has finally started to show some cracks in its armor~~, ~~with Steam Charts reporting a loss of average players of over one hundred thousand over the past thirty days~~, ~~marking the first decline in the title’s history. As alarming as that may seem~~, ~~there’s no reason for panic quite yet; PUBG’s impressive numbers inevitably had to dip after such a lengthy run~~ and the ~~title is~~ still ~~the number one played game on Steam by over a million players. There is~~, ~~however, reason to~~ be ~~concerned if that decay continues over the weeks and months~~ to ~~come, but there are some steps Bluehole~~ and ~~PUBG Corporation can take to avoid any major drops beyond the inevitable.~~<br><br>~~Like many other early access titles~~, ~~Bluehole did an admirable job~~ of ~~keeping fans informed~~ on ~~the short~~ and ~~long-term plans of PUBG~~. ~~From weekly patches~~ to ~~minor overhauls and brand-new features~~, ~~Bluehole embraced their ever~~-~~growing fanbase through teases on social media and trailers at E3 to showcase~~ the ~~imminent future of the best-seller~~. ~~This continued until~~ PUBG 1.~~0 launched in December~~, ~~and ever since the developer and its community representatives have kept relatively quiet~~, ~~leaving many fans~~ in a ~~period of confusion and growing disinterest in regards to the game’s future. While this likely isn’t the only reason~~ for ~~the game’s recent droppage~~, ~~Bluehole should resume their initiative to keep fans informed on what lies on~~ the ~~horizon now that~~ PUBG ~~has officially released, including not only~~ the ~~rumored PS4 release, but~~ the ~~core game’s new features~~, ~~weapons, maps, improvements~~ and ~~more. Fortunately, [https://Resumesarea.com/ PUBG updates] Corp community manager Sammie Kang addressed an upcoming roadmap for PUBG in early 2018 on Twitter, meaning this key step towards repairing~~ the ~~developer’s relation with its fans could be arriving~~ in ~~the near future~~.<br>	+	<br>It's well known by now that _PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds _ has left a massive dent in the video gaming industry - and now it's just how big that dent really is, seeing as the game has now broken into the top 10 best-selling video games of all time.

Trading in CS: GO is effectively a mini-economy in its own right, with some players cashing in on earned skins for big payoffs, while there are ongoing concerns over the use of skins as a virtual currency for online gambling. Eventually, Valve decided enough was enough and has implemented changes, with a recently-traded item now stuck in a seven day cool down before it can be moved on ag<br><br> <br>Content is king, so it should be no surprise that planned additions to the game were the most prominent part of the PUBG roadmap. First up is a brand new 4x4 kilometer map, a quarter of the size of Erangel and Miramar, designed for faster, action-packed rounds.

However, it's worth noting that the game has had a long-standing issue with cheaters. Gamers who play PUBG - which features 100 players skydiving onto a large map, looting buildings, and fighting off each other until one player/squad remains - have had their gameplay experiences marred by constant cheaters who've avoided being banned. While the studio has undergone numerous purges of said cheaters, nefarious players continue to crop up daily, and it's becoming an issue for PC players who've supported the title since the very beginning, even when PUBG officially released without fixing its biggest iss<br><br> <br>It's no coincidence that some of the biggest names end up getting nominated for these prestigious awards.

The Xbox One version is also known to have several technical issues, which may be scaring off some console-exclusive players from purchasing the game.
