Upcoming PUBG Maintenance to Fix Ducati Skins Speed Issue and More: What You Need to Know

Heads up, PUBG: Battlegrounds enthusiasts! The game's support team has declared a planned maintenance period aimed at implementing significant enhancements and fixes to enhance your gaming experience. This maintenance is scheduled to begin on April 17th at 00:00 UTC/ 9:00 AM KST and will last for about four hours.

Ducati Skins Speed Adjustment

A prominent issue to be addressed in this update is related to the Ducati skins. It has been observed that motorcycles with these skins equipped were moving 2-3 km/h slower than their usual top speed. The PUBG team has acknowledged this speed discrepancy and plans to rectify it to ensure that the in-game performance of these real-world inspired vehicles remains balanced.

Commitment to Authenticity and Balance

The PUBG team remains committed to preserving the authentic specifications of vehicles, such as engine performance, even when special vehicle skins are applied. They have noted that slight variations in top speed might still occur due to factors like wheel positioning or the vehicle’s center of gravity. The upcoming update promises that Ducati Special Vehicle skins will no longer affect the motorbike’s top speed in any significant way.

Future Enhancements for Vehicle Speed Consistency

In the future, the PUBG team is set to introduce a new system by year's end that will standardize top speeds to mirror those of their real-life counterparts more closely. This system is designed to maintain consistent maximum speeds across vehicles, pre and post-special skin application, though minor variations might still occur due to the physical characteristics of the skins.

Additional Fixes and Improvements

The upcoming maintenance will also tackle several other issues:

• Resolution of a sporadic bug affecting the screen ping marker.
• Fix for a texture display problem with the Breath of Fire Parachute skin.
• Adjustment to the “Claim All” button for free users of the Survivor Pass, ensuring it activates only when they have sufficient SP to claim all basic free rewards.

Gratitude to the Community

The PUBG team is grateful to players who reported the Ducati speed issue and continues to value community feedback highly. With over 2,902 views on the announcement tweet, the excitement and anticipation from the community are palpable.

These updates are part of PUBG's ongoing efforts to improve and refine the gameplay experience, keeping the action realistic and balanced for all players.
