PUBG Announce New “Training Mode” – Firing Range, Race Track, Parachute Practice and More

Calum Patterson

As part of the ongoing ‘FIX PUBG’ campaign, PUBG Corp has announced a new ‘Training Mode’, which will allow players to practice nearly all aspects of the game, from shooting to vaulting.

The ‘first iteration’ of Training Mode will be online, for 5-20 players, set on 2x2km map, with the main attractions being a shooting range, race track and an area for practicing parachute landing.

They are targeting a September release for Training Mode, and all of the features are subject to change as it is still in development.

Dave Curd, world team lead at PUBG Madison explains what the intention is for this new mode:

New players should be able to understand the basics of navigation, looting, shooting, driving, and parachuting.

Casual players should have fun experimenting in our expansive playground environment- stunt driving, boat racing, and exploring the island to find all its locations.. 

More serious players should enjoy learning about deeper gunplay- how the attachments, scopes, recoil, zeroing, and bullet-drop influence their shots.
