Are the annoying clothing spawns in PUBG (PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds) getting on your nerves? Good news: The new update takes care of it.
The new PUBG update with version number 10 changes the blue zone and brings quality of life improvements. Developers are now getting rid of annoying t-shirts or shoes lying around as loot on the map. And players are happy about it.
No more clothing loot in PUBG
In a PUBG match, players mainly search for weapons and enhancements lying on the ground. Often, t-shirts, pants, or shoes can be found, which sometimes give a slight visual advantage but overall do little.
In the past, many players have complained about clothing spawns. During the test phase of the new Savage Map, developers removed clothing spawns and focused solely on weapons and their upgrades. This was very well received by the community. They advised the developers to transfer these changes to other maps. Done.
The PC update 10 will make clothing spawns disappear on all PUBG maps. However, there will not be higher spawns for weapons and other items as a result.
You can find the complete patch notes on the official PUBG Steam page.
Changes to the blue zone are rolled back
The update also included changes to the blue zone. Developers worked on the timings and speed of the circles.
Shortly after the release of the update, developers collected feedback on Reddit regarding the new zone. This activated faster in the initial phases. Community feedback was mixed. Reddit user Convuzius stated: The new zones are great! This is a battle royale game, not a looting simulator.
Others, however, were not satisfied and felt that everything was now happening much too quickly.
On Reddit, community manager PUBG_Tamat explained that the changes to the blue zone would be rolled back. The mixed feedback on the changes led the developers to this decision. The rollback is supposed to be implemented in the next few hours and will remove the blue zone changes.
In the comments, it was mentioned that PUBG is making these changes much too hastily. User Spree8nyk8 asked: Could you not have given the meta a day or two to settle so we could deal with it?
User mLunleashed is puzzled by PUBG’s approach: “You have a test server that is exactly for this scenario. You release a new update that sounds great. […] Suddenly, hours later, boom, it’s on the live servers. I thought okay, that was pretty hasty, but hey, apparently everyone loved the changes, otherwise they wouldn’t have been deployed so quickly on the live servers.
Not even 24 hours later, you rollback the biggest changes of the update. […] Let the big updates, for which you want feedback, stay on the live servers for at least 48 hours. Give players a chance to test them.”
Did you have a chance to test the faster blue zone? Do you think the rollback is justified?
