PUBG: Update 8 führt Region Lock und Waffen-Skin-System ein, neue Ranking Season

Bluehole hat gestern das Update 8 für den Battle-Royale-Shooter Playerunknown’s Battleground auf dem Test-Server aufgespielt. Mit dem neuen Update führen die Entwickler die bereits abgekündigte Regionen-Sperre ein. Dank der Sperre werden koreanische und japanische Spieler nun auf eigenen Servern spielen.

In Zukunft soll diese Sperre weiter ausgebaut werden. Künftig soll man automatisch mit seinen Regions-Servern verbunden werden, was den positiven Nebeneffekt haben soll, dass sich die Performance des Spiels verbessert. Via VPN sollte sich dies aber auch nur zu leicht aushebeln lassen.

Weiter haben die Entwickler ein Waffen-Skin-System, mit dem ihr eure Waffen im Spiel individualisieren könnt, hinzugefügt. Ebenfalls mit dabei ist das neues „Triumph“-Crate. Etliche Bugfixes gehören natürlich ebenfalls zum Umfang des knapp 2 GigaByte großen Updates, das heute bereits samt Start der neuen Ranking Season auf die Liveserver aufgespielt wurde.

Das vollständige Changelog zum PUBG Update #8 findet ihr nachfolgend.
