Massive PUBG Mobile 1.0 Update Overhauls Erangel, Adds New Shotgun


 A significant PUBG Mobile update marks what PUBG Corp is calling the start of a "new era" for the game, spearheaded by the rollout of a revamped version of PUBG's famous Erangel map. The island map's mansion and military bases have been completely rebuilt, and more trenches and bunkers have been added for players to scamper around.

The update also marks a significant upgrade to the game's framerate and overall connectivity, with PUBG Mobile now targeting 90 frames per second on supported platforms. Crouching and standing have been optimized, meaning that you hopefully won't get stuck on errant pieces of furniture anymore. The patch buffs several of the game's most beloved weapons, particularly the Tommy Gun, the UMP, and the DBS, in addition to introducing a new semi-auto shotgun called the M1014.

Version 1.0 makes some smaller changes, including balance adjustments for the Livik map, a total overhaul of the game's lobby system, and a new training arena called Cheer Park. PUBG Mobile recently banned over 2 million cheaters in one week in August, as well as introducing a new update that locked out many of the game's most-popular "plug-in" exploits. A $2 million PUBG Mobile tournament will follow later in 2020, albeit with no live audience.

Best gaming laptops 2020: top laptops to game on

The Best Gaming Keyboard Of 2020: Razer, Steelseries, Logitech, HyperX Keyboards Tested Part 1

  Keyboards are a ubiquitous part of the 21st century. We hammer out texts on our phones, mash the WASD keys while testing out a new keymapping for Escape From Tarkov, and type out personal details to fill out forms on our laptops. And if you do a lot of typing, you may as well buy a great keyboard that can make it fun to write the next great novel and make you a better gamer, however slightly. With so many great games available on PC--and major hits like Cyberpunk 2077, Marvel's Avengers, and more on the way--it's worth investing in a good keyboard for gaming. When it comes to finding the right keyboard and mouse setup, you have to know what you want. Some like their keyboards small, flat, and quiet, while others prefer the tactile key switches, larger profile, and satisfying sounds of a mechanical gaming keyboard. High-end keyboards get more elaborate every year, too, which means there are more factors, like keyboard backlighting, ergonomic design, N-key rollover, and respons...
