The PUBG Test Server Xbox One Update has finally arrived for participants of PUBG PTS. The PTS is a separate server which is free to download for every owner of the popular battle royale game. It’s meant to be a preview of upcoming features for players, as well as a way for PUBG Corporation to root out any issues that need to be solved before officially releasing the new features to the public. Players who wish to join the PUBG PTS can do so simply by searching for “PUBG Test Server” in the Microsoft Store on their Xbox One.
PUBG Test Server Xbox One Update: Gameplay Changes
- Bullet penetration system is now applied to forearms.
- When a bullet hits the forearm of the character, it will penetrate following its ballistic trajectory. The result will be different depending on whether the forearm is blocking more vulnerable body parts.
- When a bullet penetrates a forearm and strikes a more vulnerable body part behind it, the greater damage will be applied. In other words, if a player’s forearm takes a bullet while blocking their head, the full headshot damage will be applied. This penetration system works for the head, torso, and waist only.
- If a bullet penetrates the forearm, but no vulnerable body part is behind it, only the forearm damage will be applied
- Forearm penetration is disabled for shotguns
- When getting on a motorbike, if the driver’s seat is empty, it’s now much easier to enter the driver’s seat (and not accidentally get on the passenger seat).
