In PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PC, Xbox One) hands were a good protection against bullets since a new update to the damage system. This is to be fixed.
In PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) you normally protect yourself with the coveted vests and helmets against bullets. But since an update of the damage system, you can also block bullets with bare hands!
But that is to change soon.
Bullet Defense in Wonder Woman Style
The new damage system from version 1.0 of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds divides the body into different zones. Especially the head is important for headshots. However, if a bullet has to go through other body regions, it inflicts less damage on the zones behind.
However, this seems to have been greatly exaggerated for the hands. If you shoot at someone holding a gun in their hands, it is quite likely that you will hit the arms first and only inflict little damage to the torso.
All of this somewhat reminds you of the superhero Wonder Woman, who can block bullets with her arms.
Bullet penetration should solve the problem
The damage reduction by hands and arms was certainly not intended by the developers. Therefore, a part of the current test server update of PUBG is also an adjustment of the system. Bullets should now be slowed down less by limbs. Details were not yet disclosed by the developer.
In addition, there are a few more interesting innovations that they want to try out firstly on the PTS of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds:
- An in-game friend list independent of Steam
- Voice chat support in the menu
- A penetration system that allows bullets to penetrate vehicles better and injure the occupants
Allegedly, a high-ranking PUBG developer was said to have worked as a double agent with cheaters.
