Questions like “How did he see me now” are answered by the new kill cam feature in PUBG (PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds).
Players are often frustrated when they get shot by opponents they can’t see in a PUBG match. Dying this way, without knowing “how”, is frustrating.
The new kill cam feature now shows how opponents discovered you.
Kill Cam Shows Opponents’ Hiding Spots
The developers of PUBG early on announced that they wanted to add a kill cam to the battle royale shooter. This feature has been worked on for a long time and is now available for testing on PUBG’s test servers.
Although the kill cam works in all available game modes, you only see it in duos and squads after all allies have died. This is an important feature, as otherwise it would be possible to reveal the opponents’ positions to your teammates.
In solo games, however, the kill cam option pops up just a few seconds after your death.
You probably already know its function from other games like Call of Duty or Overwatch. It shows you the last seconds from the opponent’s perspective that led to your death. In PUBG, the minimap also adjusts to the opponent’s view. You can see the direction the opponent is facing and a highlight when they shoot. In the following GIF from Reddit user K4rst3n, the feature is clearly illustrated:
Apart from the minimap, the kill cam works like in other games. As it is still in testing, there are occasionally desync issues. It remains unclear whether the opponent actually experienced these lags and stutters in-game, or if the feature simply needs further improvement.
A new feature in PUBG would hardly be conceivable without glitches and funny videos, right? Here you see an example of aerial swimming acrobatics in the kill cam.
With the new feature, you finally find out behind which rock the opponent was hiding and could spy on your position. This way, you can easily gather information and prepare for the next game with better hiding spots.
In China, PUBG now has to be adapted to socialist core values. They speak of “positive values”.
