The battle for the Blue Ball is back. PUBG presents to you LABS: Zone Tag Again! Since the first version of Zone Tag that was released this February was quite experimental for us as well, we've utilized our players' feedback thereafter and made some both big and small changes that would hopefully suit your tastes.
Let's now take a look at those changes.
LABS: Zone Tag Changes
HEALTH REGENERATION
To make things fairer, all players can now regenerate health based on their movement speed (also works inside vehicles). The faster you move, the more health you regenerate per second.
OVERALL LOOT
We’ve increased the overall amount of loot as we noticed that players were not able to find enough loot within phases of the game.
We also removed boost items as everyone can regenerate HP based on movement speed.
THE ANCHOR
An Anchor will spawn if the Carrier stays in one area for too long.
The area radius of the Anchor gets larger with every circle phase.
The Blue Ball will get detached if the Carrier does not move away from the Anchor.
BOATS AND AQUARAILS
Boats and Aquarails will spawn.
The Carrier however cannot enter water, nor use boats or Aquarails.
For more details on the general rules of Zone Tag, check out our previous announcement.

Frontline: Panzer Blitzkrieg! - Frontline Games Series
Minor bug-fixing (Typhoon bridges, minor unit tweaks) Mission descriptions are still not showing, will need another text module. Cheers friends, next-up are Steam Cards on all frontline games.
This update for the beta branch includes a rewritten framework for status effects. They're more efficient and have had a few issues ironed out. If you're currently playing the game on the beta branch you'll have to start new games unfortunately since old status effects cannot migrate over properly with this rework.
There's also a few miscellaneous bugfixes with enemy spells that I ran in to and some end-game content fixes as well. I can't go into specifics without spoiling but just know if you ran into some issues that they're most likely fixed now (:
As always this beta branch version might contain further issues so any that you find feel free to let me know in the discussions here or on the game's Discord!
