The next season of PUBG has arrived, and we're throwing a lot at you, including a new weapon, map changes, and new strategies. The season begins with Update 5.1, which features improvements to Miramar, including updated loot, map objects, terrain, and a static scope on the map-themed Win94 repeater rifle.

Get a look at what's in store in our Patch Report, here:

The highway to hell has an exit ramp to Miramar, so rev up that Mirado for the new "A La Muerte Vamos" racing course running through the region. There's plenty of new attractions for players to utilize, including ramps, loops and some sick jumps to crank that automobile anarchy to the next level.

Players also now have a new way to assist their allies and take down their enemies with the addition of item and melee weapon throwing mechanics. Toss your squad mates that much needed energy drink or go for the longshot and take down that last survivor with an expertly calculated pan throw.

In addition to the gameplay updates, the Survivor Pass is back with new rewards, challenges, and improved mission systems! Survivor Pass: Badlands rewards players with outfits and weapon skins themed around the harsh desert and its former inhabitants. Additionally, players can dive into the history of Miramar for the first time as they unlock all four parts of the Season 5 story together as a community by collecting new items scattered throughout the different Battlegrounds.

Something's not quite right with Doc. Soon after Theme Park closed, he moved in and made the castle his home, where he performs all sorts of disturbing experiments. In the end, he created something more evil than he intended...

Path of Exile - Path of Exile's Six-Year Release Anniversary

Path of Exile - Path of Exile's Six-Year Release Anniversary

Path of Exile's Six-Year Release Anniversary

Posted: 23 Oct 2019 04:01 PM PDT

Six years ago today, we released version 1.0.0 of Path of Exile, which introduced the Scion character class and the second half of Act Three. This event marked the end of a multi-year beta period, and coincided with our official release on Steam. Since then, we have released 17 expansions, and will announce two more including our largest one ever at ExileCon in three weeks.

As the first year after Path of Exile's full release, 2014 was one of experimentation. The three expansions launched that year (Sacrifice of the Vaal, Forsaken Masters and the unnamed 1.3.0 PvP/Torment/Bloodlines update) each varied considerably in size and cadence, as we tried to determine the best pattern for future releases.

In 2015, after a beta period, we released Path of Exile 2.0.0: The Awakening. This large expansion ushered in a new era of Path of Exile with the introduction of Act Four, Jewels, Lockstep, Item Filters, and more. Later that year, we released the first second-generation league: Talisman.

2016 was a busy year alternating between expansions+leagues and standalone leagues. We released Ascendancy (with the Perandus league), Prophecy, Atlas of Worlds (with the Essence league) and Breach. A significant growth in userbase (which would then continue until the present day) started that year.

2017 was a year of true expansion in many senses. After running the popular Legacy league, we simultaneously released Path of Exile on Xbox One, launched in China, and released our gigantic 3.0.0 expansion, The Fall of Oriath, which contained six new acts of content. The year was then capped off with the War for the Atlas expansion.

In 2018, we had an overarching plan to replace the aging Master Mission system at the end of the year, so each of Path of Exile's four releases that year introduced a new NPC with a third-generation league attached. Bestiary's Einhar, Incursion's Alva and Delve's Niko joined Jun and Zana in the new Master roster in the Betrayal expansion.

2019 saw the release of Synthesis, Legion, Blight and soon our end-of-year 3.9.0 expansion, as development on 4.0.0 really ramped up behind the scenes. We also released Path of Exile on PlayStation 4 and in South Korea.

It has been an exhilarating six years for our team, and we feel the best is yet to come. What do 3.9.0 and 4.0.0 hold in store? Attend ExileCon[www.pathofexile.com] or tune in to the announcement livestream[www.pathofexile.com] on November 16th to find out!

The overall average speed while performing these interactions has been slightly increased. *Note: This change was introduced in 3.1.0 but was originally omitted from the patch notes.

Rainbow 6 - Y4S3.3 PATCH NOTES

October 23, 2019

Rainbow 6 - Y4S3.3 PATCH NOTES

Y4S3.3 PATCH NOTES

Posted: 22 Oct 2019 05:31 AM PDT

The Y4S3.3 patch will deploy for PC on Tuesday, October 22nd. For full details on the balancing changes, please see our Designer's Notes[rainbow6.com].

MMR ROLLBACK UPDATE

With Y4S3.3 the MMR Rollback system is getting a few improvements that allow us to more appropriately target and address those who exploit the integrity of the ranked system. A drastic MMR change is a sign of massive irregularity and a red flag in our system. So we will now be resetting MMR for such players.

This means that instead of undergoing a significant change in MMR, players will have to redo their placement matches to get back appropriately on the ladder. Players who have their MMR reset will also not receive the seasonal ranked charm for their highest rank prior to the reset.

BALANCING

GLAZ
Stay focused on the details, but detail a bit faster now.

Increased Glaz's rate of fire to 380 (up from 285)

TWITCH
Less fragging, more tactical dabbing.

Reduced Twitch's F2 Magazine to 25 (down from 30)

WARDEN
Warden's Glo Up.

Warden changed to 2 speed – 2 armor type instead of 1 speed – 3 armor

BUG FIXES

FIXED – Players can use a 3rd party hack to change other players' operators.
FIXED – After switching from advanced to standard deployment, Attacker's first breach charge deployment attempt gets canceled.

OPERATORS
FIXED – Blackbeard's shield clips through his body when equipping while leaning.
FIXED – Hibana's XKairos pellets can destroy other pellets deployed on the same wall even if they are out of the blast radius.
FIXED –Defenders can place a barricade or Castle's Armor Panel over Goyo's Volcan Shield.

USER EXPERIENCE
FIXED – Radio music doesn't stop playing even when the radio is destroyed.
FIXED – Right clicking when in the scoreboard will cause player to enter ADS and the selected tab simultaneously.
FIXED – Mute text chat option does not work on LAN.
FIXED – When going into observation mode, SFX plays twice.
FIXED – My Rank UI tab now shows your current rank in the season instead of the highest rank achieved.
FIXED – Minor visual texture issues for Uniforms.
FIXED – Visual glitch if players switch weapons after rappelling.
FIXED – Menu UI visual fixes.
