PUBG Releases Patch Notes for Second Codename: Savage Playtest

PC players will have the chance to once again try out the new 4x4 map Codename: Savage, as the second round of testing for Player Unknown Battlegrounds' (PUBG) new map begins today. Players who have signed up for the test on the game's experimental closed server will be able to jump into the jungle map and start fighting to collect those valuable chicken dinners at the following times:

• OPENS: Monday, April 16th at 6pm PDT, April 17th at 3am CEST and April 17th at 10am KST
• CLOSES: Wednesday, April 18th at 6pm PDT, Thursday, April 19th at 3am CEST and April 19th at 10am KST

During the 48 hour testing window, players will get the chance to experience the changes that the developers have made to Codename: Savage since the first round of testing that PUBG reveled in a set of patch notes released today. The most notable changes consist of the redzone's size and duration both having been decreased, a new feature that will allow the bluezone to to calculate and adjust its waiting time based on the number of players left alive and three new areas that have been added to the map. 

These three new areas consist of the Banyan Grove and Abandoned Quarry, which can be found in the middle of the map, and the Dock that is located on the southeast side of the island. 

Along with announcing the changes that have been made to Codename: Savage, PUBG Corporation also stated that the map will not be ready for release on the live servers for "a few more months" and that they would continue to use these short testing windows to fuel development of the map based on player feedback. 

With the promise of incorporating fast paced gameplay with the PUBG combat that we all know and love, Codename: Savage is one map that every fan of the popular battle royale title needs to experience.
