Krafton shared important details on his blog with the PUBG: New State January update. The PUBG: New State 0. 9. 23 update, which is said to be released next week, also means a new season 1 for the game. We brought together the PUBG: New State update and its innovations, where new modes will come into play.
PUBG: New State January season 1 update and what’s new
PUBG, one of the most important representatives of the Battle Royale genre, intends to continue its leadership in this regard with the New State game. Although it is only two months old, the game, which has received important updates, seeks to offer important innovations with the January update.
New mode: Battle Royale Extreme Mode
This mode, which is in the style of Battle Royale we know, is much shorter and with much less players. Accordingly, this new mode in Troi will have rooms for only 64 people. The aim of these 64 players is to be the last survivor in just 20 minutes.
However, in this new mode, each player will have one P1911 pistol, 1 smoke grenade, 300 Drone Credits and fully charged boost meters. So you won’t have to look for weapons in this 20-minute period. There will also be two maintenance kits scattered in random places throughout the game. However, delivery drones will also reach players faster. Unlike basic Battle Royale, players will jump from a lower altitude plane and reach the map faster. Teammate cooldown is also 60 seconds for this mode.
Weapon customizations and new weapon
PUBG: New State is also looking to introduce new weapon customizations to players with the January update 0. 9. 23. With the update, players will have the ability to install a muzzle brake and flame suppressor on the DP-28 heavy machine gun. However, after these add-ons, the damage of the DP-28 will decrease. In addition, the Beryl M762 gun will also have the opportunity to use light-weighted apparatuses that prevent the spread of bullets and increase the speed of ADS. However, these new devices will reduce the stability of the weapon.
New weapon: P90
PUBG: New State January 1st season update 0. 9. 23 and the P90 weapon also meet the players. This weapon has a standard second level scope and silencer. However, the weapon does not allow players to customize it. The new weapon will be available in the Drone Store and will use 5.7mm ammo
Weapon balance changes
Krafton is also changing the balance settings of some weapons with the January update for the new PUBG. According to this:
- All shotguns and pistols will have reduced bullet spread when fired in the air
- L85A3: Reload time will be significantly reduced
- M416 [C1]: The projectile spread will be reduced when shooting from the hip and shoulder
- Beryl M762 [C1]: This customization will no longer reduce bullet speed
- M16A4 [C1]: This customization will no longer reduce recoil control
- DSR-1 [C1]: This customization no longer reduces bullet speed. Instead, it will increase vertical recoil
Movement options
PUBG: New State is in the process of presenting some new moves to the players with the January update, that is, the 1st season. Players will now have the ability to somersault when they press the Roll button while falling. This tumble will also reduce the damage taken by the player while falling. In addition, it will be easier for players to make sudden straight runs with this new update.
