PlayerUnknown`s Battlegrounds is still a wildly-popular game despite having `fallen short` in some areas. Developer PUBG Corporation looks to address some of these areas, announcing a new console patch that introduces a new progression system called weapon mastery, an auto-equip attachments feature, an additional controller preset, and more.The news comes via a tweet posted by the official PUBG Support team. The update, headed to both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, will arrive on Thursday, June 27. Server maintenance will be conducted from Wednesday, June 26 at 10 PM PT to Thursday, June 27 at 4 AM PT.The headlining feature of the patch is the weapon mastery system, which allows players to increase weapon levels by gaining experience with that weapon. Weapon mastery and its rewards--such as charms and medals--operate independently of seasons, and there are 100 levels per weapon to be achieved.A new controller preset will be included in the new update. The preset is suited more for a thumb-index finger-middle finger style of controller handling, and it`s for players that heavily rely on leaning and combat strategies.Further, PUBG Corp includes a new auto-equip feature that allows players to automatically stack their weapon with whatever attachments found in the world. The new patch also addresses a number of bug fixes, including issues with picking up items, bullets not puncturing wire fences, and more.You can read the full patch notes below.New Progression SystemNew Progression System: Weapon Mastery is a new progression system where players can increase levels by gaining weapon XP based on players´ weapon use.It operates all the time without being affected by seasons.Weapon Mastery offers 100 levels for players to achieve per weapon.In the lobby, players can check their weapon use information, last match results, and the rewards they acquired thus far through the newly created Mastery tab.Weapon Mastery Rewards: There are three types of Weapon Mastery rewards.
