PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds had a few issues with loot. Some items spawned too often, while others too rarely. An initial loot patch as part of the monthly update is supposed to change that.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is a blast when you roam around as a lone fighter, equipping yourself with weapons and gear for the inevitable survival fight. Especially cool is when you manage to capture a care package that is occasionally dropped visibly by planes over the battlefield.
Unfortunately, according to a recent data analysis, the spawn and drop rates of items in the boxes and in the open world were not functioning optimally. Therefore, a loot patch as part of the big June update has been installed to remedy this.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds – New Weapon “Groza” and Fewer Helmets
The loot patch first replaces the VSS Vintorez with a new bullpup rifle called “Groza”. This weapon is now available instead of the VSS in care packages. The Vintorez, on the other hand, is now only available as a random world spawn.
Also new: There is a small chance that you will find silencers for assault and sniper rifles, as well as 4x scopes in the boxes. All these items would be useless along with a Vintorez, as this rifle already comes with these upgrades by default.
The open world has also received some adjusted loot drops:
- A new pistol called P18-C is now in the game
- The SCAR-L now spawns less frequently
- The UMP now spawns less frequently
- The UZI now spawns more frequently
- Level-1 helmets previously spawned much more frequently than level-1 vests. Now helmets appear just as often
According to the developers, even more loot adjustments will follow in the future. This one is just the beginning. The additional patch notes for the big monthly update in June will be provided later by the developers.
