A expansive playground island

Range (Camp Jackal) is a unranked map in BATTLEGROUNDS on a 2x2km island. It's purpose is to test weapons and help players control weapons recoil.

• The map started development in sometime in 2017 stated from a developer stream .
  • Training got revealed on August 22nd, 2018 .
  • This map was introduced in the Test Server PC 1.0 update #21.

Summary

Camp Jackal lets 5 - 20 players practice all aspects of PUBG, from driving the game’s various vehicles around the island’s race tracks, to practicing parachute landings on scattered targets, to mastering the perfect peek shot. There are even areas to practice vaulting, close-quarters combat and of course, vehicle jumps. Range will give new players a better understanding of 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. More serious players should enjoy learning about deeper gunplay; how the attachments, scopes, recoil, zeroing and bullet-drop influence their shots.

FAQ

August 2018

• Q: Why did Training/Shooting range come first to PUBG Mobile?
  • A: "We face different challenges to doing it on mobile and doing in on PC. We have different internally priorities for the PC version so it just takes some time."

• Q: Why not an offline shooting range?
  • A: "We'd love to add a sort of an offline shooting range type thing but we have some techinical issues preventing us to do that at the moment. Let's see what we do in the future, but I can't say yes or no right now."
