PUBG Corp. is tricking quitters into playing rain and fog matches

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds no longer includes fog or rain matches on its stable servers. The PUBG Corporation dropped those options because a significant number of players would randomly load into a fog or rain match and then quit. But the studio is testing what could end up working as a solution to the quitting problem in the Experimental build of PUBG that is running right now with the new Savage map.

The PUBG Corporation started running tests of its smaller 16-square-kilometer map on Monday evening, and I’m having an excellent time with it. Savage is in such an early testing phase that it features unfinished textures on many of its locations, but you can see that the studio is already testing a number of ideas that could roll out into the stable version of PUBG in the future. One of those experimental concepts is a new weather system where conditions change over time. For example, a match may start with clear weather, but after a few minutes, you may run outside and notice that a thick fog has set in.
