Blue Zone of PUBG shooter becomes slower, but also deadlier

_(´ཀ`」∠)_Unity1 | 01/20/2018

PUBG Corporation recently announced that the next stage of development of the most popular battle royale game is intended to "improve combat experience during matches", and the first step to accomplishing this plan is to introduce new rules for the blue zone. Specifically, the team behind PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds title admitted that during the Early Access period they received a lot of feedback so that "the pace and distribution of combat matches in the match could be even more straightforward and less chaotic."

Consequently, the blue zone of death, which forces players towards the center point of the map or the final conflict of the toughest, has gone through three major changes that will affect the "middle and late phase" of each circle. Specifically, the wait time before the notorious zone approaches the heels of the player is slightly reduced as the speed at which the same narrows, and the last blue zone inflicts a little more damage per second on players which are not fast enough to hide from the same.

You can now test these changes on PUBG test servers, and according to the announcement, testing should take several days.

They’re making the blue zone deadlier because in the first big PUBG tournament, a tactic emerged in which players would hide in the blue zone for almost the entire match on purpose, only popping out at the very end of the match. Which is really boring to watch.
