PUBG Corporation is kicking off the new year with a bang by launching a pretty extensive content update for PUBG: New State. Update 0.9.23 features a new Battle Royale (BR) mode and tons of new content. Let’s dive right in!
New BR Mode
BR: Extreme is a fast-paced, 20-minute round of battle royale set in Troi where you are pitted against 63 other people. Unlike the original, the Playzone is restricted right from the get-go, which means that there is only a limited amount of space to work with. This zone is randomized every match.
Anyway, you will be armed with a P1911 handgun, a smoke grenade, fully-charged boosters, and 300 Drone Credits to start with. Furthermore, two Care Packages will be dropped at random locations across the map.
This game mode is meant to be much faster than the original, so you can expect a lot of changes in addition to a smaller Playzone. For instance, you can find more items and vehicles throughout the map, so you can quickly get the weapons you need.
Moreover, Delivery Drones now arrive faster, meaning that the items that you’ve purchased from the Drone Store will be in your hands at the soonest possible time.
Do keep in mind that a 30-second countdown will begin once you go outside of the Playzone. Failure to get back in at the allotted time will get you eliminated from the match.
