PUBG Latest News, Updates: Update #22 Set to Go Live After Maintenance

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) Update #22 is set to go live once server maintenance is complete and it’s going to introduce a new anti-cheat system as part of their efforts to deal with cheating in the online multiplayer game.

“Expect to see a new popup when you start the client. To help us refine our anti-cheat service, it would be helpful for us if you play with the "Enable Anti-cheat" box checked if you experience issues you can disable this,” PUBG developer Bluehole noted in a statement.

“We've fixed previous compatibility issues experienced by some players, although we've kept the option to disable the new anti-cheat system while we go through the final stages of testing in the live server environment. Once testing is complete, you will be unable to disable this system.”

PUBG Update #22 will contain several quality-of-life additions like wheel menus, an upgraded mini-map, and an improved Friend UI. Furthermore, the player order between the lobby and in-game is now consistent.

The update also includes several fixes to address issues with character movement, wall penetration, sliding, stun and onfire animation, armed animation, player UI, vehicle interaction, character position, character motion, vaulting and more. The underwater glitch that allowed players to hold weapons while close to rocks has been fixed as well. A new leaderboard, rank system, and region renewal will be introduced as well in PUBG Update #22.

Meanwhile, map selection is back, and players will once again be allowed to select the maps they want to play on. A Skin Trade Up system has also been added, allowing players to trade up multiple same-tier items for one next-tier item.

In other news, developers Bluehole has confirmed that the PUBG Training mode has been pushed back to November due to some stability issues.

PUBG is available on PC, Xbox One, Android and iOS.
