Developer PUBG Corp. recently announced that a new training mode and map will soon be added to PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. The “PUBG Training Mode” is currently scheduled to launch this coming September, and is part of the developer’s ongoing “Fix PUBG” campaign. According to Dave Curd, team leader for PUBG Corp., the PUBG Training Mode is intended to help everyone from newbies to pro PUBG players master the game.
Senior Designer at PUBG Corp., Dave Osei, added to that sentiment by explaining: “We wanted to go beyond what players were asking for, so we didn’t want the map to be just a shooting range, but an open, living map where players can test a variety of skills to their heart’s content.”
Not only will the PUBG Training Mode give players the ability to test out new weapons, vehicles, and strategies without having to fear enemy opponents, it also gives offers a unique opportunity to warm up before diving into a real game.
