'Player Unknown's Battlegrounds' PC Update: New Loot Crates, Improved Cheat Reporting Feature Added
The latest update to Player Unknown's Battlegrounds is now live following a four hour server maintenance. Among the new content coming to the game are two new loot crates and an improved in-game reporting tool for players.
First off are the loot crates which are the paid Desperado boxes and the free Biker boxes, the latter of which has a drop rate of 40 percent. While the drop rate is significantly higher than its predecessors, the Wanderer and Survivor boxes, the rare items contained within have an impossibly low drop rate of just 0.01 percent.
In addition to the new loot crates, players on the live server are now able to report any player suspected of cheating from the replay feature. This means that players no longer need to be killed in order to access the in-game reporting tool which drastically improves the player experience. Players can also now select more detailed criteria for the "Cheating" category in the in-game report tool.
