Ranked Ruleset PUBG: PUBG Labs Has a New Game Mode

Ranked Ruleset in PUBG is the new game mode in PUBG Labs. PUBG Corp has heard the cries of the community about a more competitive feel and have tested our a Ranked matchmaking system and this is the second step of the process.

As with any PUBG Lab game mode, they'll be analyzing the data and player feedback to better understand what players are enjoying and will adjust the ruleset accordingly before they take it live.

The Ranked Ruleset test aims to merge the strengths of both public and esport ruleset to make a brand new system and ruleset that works for both worlds. Maps will be randomly from Erangel, Miramar and Sanhok. The number of players will be reduced to 64 as well.

PUBG Corp explained the loot changes, "For an environment like this to thrive, players need access to the right tools to be competitive. Therefore, the item spawn rate on all 3 maps has been set higher than that of normal Battle Royale games. In addition, the spawn rate of preferred items such as primary weapons, Level 2 equipment, 4x scopes, and First Aid Kits have been increased to make for a more competitive environment."

There were also a list of other adjustments.

• The starting plane’s flight path is more likely to fly closer to the first safe area.
• Vehicle spawns are same as the normal games, but the Motor Glider is temporarily disabled until we can put more thought into if it is right for competitive game play. Your feedback here would be welcomed as well!
• Red Zones have been adjusted to act as an additional threat for out of position players and are much more likely to occur at the edge of the safe zone.
• We’ve decided to keep Flare Guns in for now as they provide a strategic choice between Care Packages and the BRDM-2. If this item sways competitive games too heavily, we’ll look to adjust or remove the Flare Guns.
