Document Your Playstyle Through the Games
How do you play Battle Royales? Do you land around the less popular areas and scavenge there? Do you target places that have names? Or do you hot drop into heavily populated areas and fight it out in the beginning? It can be difficult to place yourself into just a few categories of playstyles. PUBG Survival Mastery is a feature that was added in the recently implemented Update 4.3. It basically allows players to retroactively analyze the way they play. It can also compare certain stats to the PUBG community at large.
The Survival Mastery feature collects data from you as you play. It calculates things like how much loot you pick up per game, how much damage you take, how long you survive; things like that. Then, those stats are split into a high/low scale and gives you a rank. When calculating the average distance at which you engage enemies, you can be a skirmisher or a sniper. In terms of how much damage you take, you play defensively or offensively. There are a total of 6 stats that are collected which include Average Engagement Length, Average Engagement Distance, Items Looted per Game, Distance Traveled per Game, Hot Drop Rate, and Damage Taken per game, each with a high/low rating.
With this system comes a PUBG ID which is like a social card for other players to check you out with. Your teammates will be able to see it to better work together. With this update, players now have a Survival Mastery level, which caps at 500. XP will be gained by doing pretty much anything. Combat, looting, surviving; it all adds to your level.
