Starting next week, you will finally be able to climb over walls and overcome other obstacles in PUBG (PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds). Version 1.0 will be tested for the first time on the test servers.
We are moving steadily towards a milestone in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. The anticipated version 1.0 will be available on the PUBG test servers starting next week. A concrete release date is still missing.
The wait for version 1.0 should be worth it for you, as the client will finally be optimized. Whether PUBG will run “really smoothly” will be revealed soon. Then we can also try out the “Vaulting” features for the first time and elegantly overcome obstacles.
With the vaulting system, the developers mean the ability to get over and around obstacles. This includes jumping through objects like windows.
Climbing in PUBG is being tested
Next week, there will be a big PUBG patch. Version 1.0 will be tested for the first time, and as many players as possible should participate in the trial. For this, the test servers will be available for several days.
The main changes of the update are:
- Client and server optimization
- Activation of climbing and vaulting (up, over, and through obstacles)
- Changes to vehicle behavior
- Revision of ballistics
The changes in mechanics are intended to make the game more realistic and ensure better balance. However, since this is the first test in this direction, bugs and other issues are to be expected. The exact patch notes for the update will be published at the beginning of next week.
Vaulting – What’s Behind It?
In the official post by the developers, they address the topic of vaulting. The quick overcoming of obstacles will enable entirely new tactics in PUBG. The dynamic vaulting and climbing mechanics are important for the countless obstacles that can stand in your way on your PUBG adventures.
Almost every object that has an ingame height of 2.3 meters can be overcome with the climbing function. Additionally, jumping through openings like windows is possible, as long as the openings are wide and large enough. In the following video, you can see footage from the development of climbing in August – it should be even more refined by now.
Obstacles that come up to your chest can be overcome with a weapon in hand. For larger obstacles, both hands must be free (weapons will then be automatically stowed). If you run towards an obstacle and jump at it, the climbing animation is accelerated. If you climb from a standstill, you are slower.
We are looking forward to testing the changes next week. The iconic PUBG frying pan was only accidentally included in the game. We show you the funny story behind it here.
