According to the official post on Steam, these new changes and improvements are the first step in a recommitment to improving quality of life, fixing bugs and making PUBG the best game it can be. As a result, the changes included in this all-new update, are going to work towards a smoother playing experience for the user.

To learn more about the changes coming to PUBG with PC 1.0 Update #19, check out the highlights down below:

Gameplay

Bullet penetration system is now applied to arms and hands. When bullet hits the arm/hand of the character, it will penetrate following its ballistic curve. The result will be different depending on whether the arm/hand is blocking more vulnerable body parts. When a bullet penetrates a arm/hand and strikes a more vulnerable body part behind it, the greater damage will be applied. In other words, if a player’s arm/hand takes a bullet while blocking their head, the full headshot damage will be applied. This penetration system works for the head, torso, and waist only. If a bullet penetrates the arm/hand, but no vulnerable body part is behind it, only the arm/hand damage will be applied Arm/hand penetration is disabled for shotguns Bullet penetration is not applied to legs.

When exiting vehicles while pressing the sprint key, sprint now remains engaged. This way you won’t have to release and press the button again to start sprinting.

If a teammate disconnects, but is still alive in game, other teammates couldn’t see the game reward (result) screen after all other teammates died. Now players can check even if there are disconnected players in their team. If a disconnected teammate reconnects the game, and finishes the game with better result, teammates will receive any additional rewards earned by that player. To prevent abuse, other teammates cannot see the Deathcam until all players, including the disconnected player, have died.

Adjusted the position of the QBZ to feel more natural and less obstructive when seen from FPP.

When getting on a motorbike, if the driver’s seat is empty, it’s now much easier to enter the driver’s seat (and not accidentally get on the passenger seat).

UI/UX

Dropping items in stacks has been improved. Quantity can now be adjusted using a slider. Alt key + left mouse button immediately drops the full stack. Alt key + right mouse button now drops half the stack.

Weapon attachment management when replacing items has been improved. Removed or replaced attachments will now drop onto the floor if there is no room in your inventory. When attaching directly from loot, the replaced attachment will be dropped on the floor if there is no room in your inventory. When replacing an extended magazine with a quickdraw magazine, the extended magazine and overflow ammunition will be dropped on the floor. When detaching an attachment by right-clicking, the attachment will be dropped on the floor if there is no room in your inventory. Pressing Alt while right-clicking a weapon now detaches all attachments on that weapon. Attachments will be sent to the inventory or dropped on the floor if inventory is full.



World

Dynamic weather has been added to Erangel and Miramar. Erangel: Overcast Miramar: Overcast, Sunset Overcast setting includes dynamic weather, and includes rain, fog, etc. during the game. Erangel has received some improvements. Small clusters of houses have been added to some areas of Erangel. More tactical landscapes have been added near the river. Added trees in the open area surrounding the Sosnovka Military Base. Miramar has received some improvements. More dirt roads have been added for better vehicle effectiveness. Certain high-slope sections of roads have been lowered to enhance vehicle effectiveness.
