PUBG bots' reign of terror has ended

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds' bots have been a tad strong of late. Over the past week, clips of players getting owned by their new, superior overlords have flooded the battle royale's subreddit. The bots were quicker to draw their gun, and some appeared to track enemy players through walls. Fighting against a rabble of Terminators isn't many people's idea of fun, though, so the PUBG team has reined them in a tad.


The update reduces bots' overall firing accuracy, and you'll have to get closer to them before they switch using the full-auto firing mode on their guns - if you keep a reasonable distance, they'll stick with using the single-fire mode. You'll also find that their reaction times have been slowed down, with bots now engaging with their targets less quickly after spotting them. The update is out now, so you should find the bots' nerfs already in play.


Having bots in PUBG can be a tricky topic. They can balance out lobbies nicely and lead to less waiting for a game, but they can also run amok when doing their best Terminator impression. Earlier this year, players found that the number of bots in their game shrunk after an update, which went down well.

PUBG gets a new way to keep track of live events in-game

There's a new way to keep track of events going on in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, following an update that folds in a handy new in-game feature. Plus, developer Krafton has detailed two new events running in the battle royale game this month.


"Today, we're introducing our newly improved in-game Events Page to showcase ongoing and upcoming events to participate in and earn rewards," Krafton announces in a new blog post. This is a pretty basic but handy feature that lets you browse a list new events going on, and jump into them more easily by hitting a 'participate' option. From the snapshots included in the post, we can see the duration of the event displayed, along with rewards up for grabs (which can only be grabbed while an event's live), and your progress towards goals.


The new Event Page can be found via a 'care package' icon in the right-hand corner of the game's lobby screen, and you'll now see notifications pop up in PUBG's notifications hub when event-related news drops.

PUBG's latest Labs mode looks like a mash-up of Mario Kart and Mad Max

The latest PUBG Labs mode is in, and it'll look familiar if you're a fan of Mario Kart. It's just called Racing Mode for now, but it features everything you'd expect - you pick a vehicle, race your buds to the finish, and pick up power-up boosts and ammo to try and throw them off.


Before you start, you've got to select your vehicle. You've got the motorcycle, buggy, Couple RB, dirt bike, and Mirado. Each of them has its stats, but they've each got a unique weapon, too. You won't be able to attack players or destroy stuff until your ten seconds in, and players who do get taken out will get a five-second grace period to stop them from being eliminated off spawn.


Both race tracks take place on the Miramar map and are one way. You'll need to make your way through checkpoints to progress through the race, and those checkpoints will be your respawn points, too. Oh, and be careful about going off track as you'll blow up if you're gone for too long.
