Gameplay

In the player vs player shooting game PUBG, up to 100 players compete in a battle royale, a kind of massive last-man-standing death match where players compete to survive as long as possible Players have the option of participating in the match alone, in a pair, or as a small team of up to four individuals winners of the game is the final survivor or team Players parachute onto one of the eight different maps, each with varied size and topography, to begin each match. Players must rapidly decide when to eject and parachute to the ground because the plane's flying path across the map changes with each round Apart from their customized outfit choices, players do not have any equipment at the beginning of the game Players can find guns, vehicles, armor, and other stuff by searching buildings, ghost towns, and other locations once they have landed At the beginning of a match, these things are procedurally distributed over the map, with higher-quality gear often being found in high-risk areas Players who have been killed can also have their items looted Although server-specific settings can be used to compel all players into one perspective to remove some benefits, players can choose to play from either the first-person or third-person perspective, each of which has advantages and disadvantages in combat and situational awareness

In the game, players see the boundary as a shimmering blue wall that contracts over time Every few minutes, the map's playable area starts to shrink towards a random location, with any player caught outside the safe area taking damage incrementally and eventually being eliminated if the safe zone is not entered in time

As a result, the map becomes more constrained, which raises the likelihood of encounters Random areas of the map are blasted and highlighted in red throughout the game, offering a threat to players who stay there Players are alerted a few minutes before these events in both circumstances, allowing them the opportunity to find safety elsewhere Occasionally, at random, or if a player uses a flare gun, a plane will fly over different locations in the playable area and drop a loot box, carrying things that are ordinarily inaccessible during normal gameplay These packages release bright red smoke that attracts players' attention and Players receive in-game cash based on their performance at the end of each round The money is used to buy crates that include accessories for customizing characters or weapons In March 2018, a revolving event mode was incorporated into the game These occurrences affect the standard gameplay parameters, such as the formation of larger teams or squads or the distribution of armor and weaponry over the game map

Development

Brendan Player Unknown Greene, a video game creator, in 2018

Brendan Greene, best known by his online alias Player Unknown, who previously developed the ARMS 2 mod Day Battle Royale, an offshoot of the well-liked mod Day Z and inspired by the 2000 Japanese film Battle Royale, was in charge of the game's concept and design Around 2013, Irish-born Greene, who worked as a photographer, graphic designer, and web designer while living in Brazil, produced Day Z Battle Royale He was also a fan of video games like America's Army and Delta Force Black Hawk Down He became interested in the Day Z mod because of its realistic military simulation and open-ended gameplay and began experimenting with a custom server while learning programming Due to their compact and simple-to-remember maps, Greene regarded the majority of multiplayer first-person shooters to be overly repetitious By making much larger maps that were difficult to memorize and using random item placement throughout them, he was able to achieve his goal of producing something with more random elements so that players would not know what to anticipate and increase the degree of replayability Greene was also motivated by the Survivor Game z tournament for Day Z, which pitted numerous Twitch and YouTube streamers against one another until only a select few remained Since Greene was not a streamer, he wanted to develop a mode for the game that everyone could play His early work on this mod was more influenced by The Hunger Games books, where players would compete for stockpiles of weapons at a central location However, he moved away from this to give players a better chance at survival by dispersing weapons and avoiding copyright issues with the books Greene planned to utilize square safe zones because he was inspired by the Battle Royale movie, but due to his lack of coding skills, he ended up using circular safe areas, which were carried over to Battlegrounds

Interest in his Battle Royale mod for ARMS 2 waned when Day Z was released as a standalone game, thus Greene switched the mod's development to ARMS After being intrigued by Greene's work, Sony Online Entertainment now the Daybreak Game Company hired him as a consultant to work on, licensing the battle royale concept from him Around the same time that Greene's consultation period ended in February 2016, Sony Online split into two distinct games, the survivor mode Just Survive and the battle royale-inspired   King of the Kill
