Winner Winner is a PUBG Podcast (A Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds Podcast) After a lot of speculation on very little information regarding the new maps, we dive into everything PUBG PC Patch 12.1 has to offer. Miramar is the biggest focus of the discussion here, with updates to terrain, buildings and lighting being the biggest changes. Miramar also gets some exclusive new toys in terms of a new ATV, new motorcycle and an all new crate weapon - the .50 caliber Lynx Anti-Material Rifle that can blast through BRDM glass, destroy all vehicles and decimate the competition.

Winner Winner is a PUBG Podcast (A Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds Podcast) There’s been so much to talk about in PUBG lately, that our most recent recording had to be chopped up into a few parts. Part one released last week and offers an overview of everything coming and a deep dive on the new 8x8 map Tiger and thoughts on an incoming respawn mechanic. Definitely don’t miss that if you haven’t listened yet? Part two is much shorter, and Mike and Kev talk about the other new 8x8 map, Kiki. The only image we’ve seen looks super futuristic, but we’ve also been told that there will be multiple biomes. In addition, the devs tell us this will be the most exploration-focused map to date. We also cover the emergency pick-up changes that are coming to help ease the number of planes we were hearing and the frequency. This led us to chatting about the Erangel bridge changes and how interesting fights can be when not traveling by boat, glider or zipline. That’s all for this part, friends...
Winner Winner is a PUBG Podcast (A Playerunknown's Battleground Podcast) The PUBG Developers gave us so much to talk about, that the boys went long and had to chop it up into a few parts. The year of the big maps has only just begun! In part one, Mike and Kev give an overview of what is to come in PUBG PC Patch 12.1, as well as the huge announcement within the PUBG Dev Plan for 2021, which includes news of two upcoming 8x8 km maps - codenamed Tiger and Kiki! After teasing all the content there is to talk about, your hosts jump straight into talks about Tiger. A wise man once said a picture is worth a thousand words, to which Mike beat his chest and said you gotta pump those numbers up. Seriously, if anyone wants to word count how far they get based on an artist’s rendering, Kev and Mike’s first thoughts on Tiger really do go the distance. They discuss where they think Tiger is located, how the map might play, and anything else they could glean from A SINGLE PICTURE. Also, no big deal, but respawns are officially coming to the game. Tiger will be where we all test PUBG’s respawn mechanic out, on live servers. In fact, Tiger will be PUBG’s most experimental map for new features going forward. Listener reactions from Twitter and Discord were shared to kick the respawn discussion off. Oh and even though the last Winner Winner episode was heavily focused on the idea of respawns, Mike and Kev forgot everything they said that episode and did it all again. That’s about where things leave off for part one of this three part series. Tune in within the next week or so as two and three get released. The guys talk Kiki and everything Miramar in the following two shows!

Winner Winner is a PUBG Podcast (A Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds Podcast) PUBG turns 4 years old on March 23, 2021. As we get closer to that insane milestone for this genre-defining battle royale, Mike and Kev discuss what is the core that defines PUBG and use some recent talking points from other community members as a soundboard for the discussion. Notably, and perhaps the driving factor for us thinking about this topic, are a Twitlonger post from chocoTaco on twitter, and a very recent clip from PlayerIGN. In short, choco’s post was about core gameplay, specifically what other games do with core gameplay. He referenced rocket league, counterstrike, and others that are so focused on their core gameplay that they don’t change it - these games only change the things outside the core. He also went into detail on what PUBG could change TODAY that would help alleviate some of the issues he sees as most prevalent. PlayerIGN’s post discussed the knock system and how other BRs have t...
Winner Winner is a PUBG Podcast (A Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds Podcast) PUBG Patch 10.1 brings us PUBG’s smallest map ever with Haven, set on a small industrial island somewhere in North America. This 1x1 km map features 32 players and is only available in duos mode, with the option to queue as a solo. There are guards and a commander (Stronger AI bots) guarding loot at the pillar buildings if you want to rush them for tier 3 loot, but beware, as there is only one way in or out. There's also a roaming chopper that shines a spotlight on players lingering outside, as well as a roving armored truck that will shoot any player within line of sight with devastating accuracy and damage. Set at night, with plenty of high rises and areas of cover, Haven is one of PUBG’s most unique maps to date. And, if you find yourself stuck on a high rise with zone pushing in or a team pushing up, you can now pick up an emergency parachute to safely jump off a high spot and chute down. Trigger and 1...
PUBG’s Creative Director, Dave Curd, along with other PUBG developers hopped on a call with a number of PUBG partners to talk about the new map Haven and allow both partners and developers to ask and answer questions. MTBtrigger took some time to summarize the 3 hour call in a little over 20 minutes. Dave Curd talks about how a big focus with Haven was to lure players into buildings for top tier loot with the Pillar guards and commander while making the spotlight from the helicopter also push people into building to building combat. This is a shift from crate drops that force players out into the open to secure the best loot. Partners asked for player count to be increased on the new map. Another ask was for better loot on Haven. Past talks about Haven, players and developers discussed map weighting in certain regions, which led to the discussion around something called Region-Agnostic Match Settings. This would mean that each region could have settings that suit them back. For exa...

With Season 9 comes a new, dynamic 3x3 kilometer map named Paramo that changes every time you drop in to battle. It’s landscape is charred by an active volcano, and crossing lava is much more dangerous than crossing a river. The guys give their honest early impressions of the map and how it compares to other other maps in terms of playable terrain, pacing and overall design decisions. But that’s not all that comes with season 9 - We also get ranked solos, ranked ruleset adjustments and rank point resets. We also get some very slight nerfs to the beryl and SLR, G-coin as a form of prepaid currency to PC (which is some...
Winner Winner is a Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) Podcast Join the Community - Discord - https://discord.gg/deU7RSs On this episode, Mike and Kev talk about the all new Arena Mode in PUBG. What is it? Arena is a round based game mode that pitches squads against 1-2 other squads, with each squad able to lose 3 rounds before being eliminated. Winning rounds and getting kills earns extra currency, which allows you to buy better weapons, fresh armor, healing items and throwables.

Arena Mode is in testing until October 8th on PC and console, so be sure to check it out! PUBG Labs Arena Mode Additionally, Mike and Kev start off talking about what has become a pre-recording tradition - getting a duo chicken dinner! They talked about a particular kill that kept them alive, which was a jump shotgun kill...

(Itunes, Spotify, Stitcher, Podbean, Google, etc.) This week MTBtrigger sits down with Hawkinz, one of the Community Managers for PUBG. Hawkinz has been around the game, in some form, since pre-alpha. They explore where the game started and how it has changed over time. Are there features Hawkinz thinks should be removed from the game? Nothing is off the table: How does a PUBG team member view cheaters? Does cheating benefit PUBG somehow? How does a gamer, who had never worked for a video game company, get involved and ultimately employed by the company who makes the game they love? Should a new ranked mode be added? We hear about the challenges behind these topics/scenarios as well as Hawkinz’ personal opinion on how these should be tackled. These topics ...
