The devs describe discussions around this feature as \u201ccurrently ongoing,\u201d<\/strong> but they do plan to start introducing some of the mechanisms in the April update. What we see today will likely be the first parts of this destructible environment mechanic. I expect the pickaxe and the terrain manipulation part to go live in the April update.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nI\u2019m curious to see how far they go with building destruction. Will it be partial destruction like we\u2019ve seen on Karakin, or something more along the lines of Battlefield?

Then again, it could go much faster if several players were doing it. It opens up an option for late-game matches where players can often be stuck with little to no cover. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first parts of the 2024 roadmap will actually go live later this week as the PUBG team celebrates the 7th Anniversary of Erangel. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
The folks behind PUBG published a lengthy video and blog post outlining the game\u2019s 2024 roadmap. One feature that instantly got my attention was destructible environments. We\u2019ve yet to see that type of feature play a big role in the Battle Royale genre, but it could be a game-changer if implemented well. The developers didn\u2019t go into too much detail, but they did show an image of a player using a pickaxe to carve out cover. Explosive weapons can also […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":10007012,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3199],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"\n
