Attention all PUBG: Battlegrounds players! The game’s support team has announced a scheduled maintenance window that will bring significant fixes and improvements to the gameplay experience. Starting April 17th at 00:00 UTC / 9:00am KST, the live servers will undergo approximately four hours of maintenance.

Ducati Skins Speed Issue

A key fix in this update addresses an issue with the Ducati skins. Players noticed that after applying these skins, the maximum speed of the motorbike was 2-3 km/h lower than expected. The PUBG Team has acknowledged this discrepancy and is set to correct it, ensuring that the real-world vehicles implemented in the game do not disrupt the balance.

Commitment to Realism and Balance

The PUBG Team is dedicated to maintaining the original vehicle specifications, including engine performance, even after special vehicle skins are applied. However, they recognize that slight variations in top speed can occur due to the positioning of the wheels or the vehicle’s center of gravity. With the upcoming fix, the Ducati Special Vehicle skins will no longer cause a noticeable difference in the motorbike’s top speed.

Future Plans for Vehicle Speed Consistency

Looking ahead, the team plans to introduce a system by the end of the year that will limit the top speed in a manner similar to real vehicles. This system aims to ensure that vehicles retain the same maximum speed before and after special vehicle skin applications, although minor differences may still be present due to the physical characteristics of the skins.

Additional Fixes

The maintenance will also address several other issues:

  • A fix for the intermittent malfunction of the screen ping marker.
  • A resolution for the display issue with the Breath of Fire Parachute skin texture.
  • A correction for the “Claim All” button activation for free users of the Survivor Pass, ensuring it only becomes active when they have enough SP to claim all basic free rewards.

Appreciation for the Community

The PUBG Team extends their gratitude to the players who reported the Ducati speed issue and reaffirms their commitment to enhancing the gameplay experience. With over 2,902 views on the announcement tweet, it’s clear that the community is eagerly awaiting these updates.

Stay tuned for the completion of the maintenance and enjoy a smoother, more balanced PUBG: Battlegrounds experience.
