Updates: Streamer asked about rocket launchers, PU said probably not but they've been looking at M203 underbarrel m16 launchers, but it doesn't seem very likely as of now for the core game mode. Same goes for dual wielding pistols, not very realistic when trying to reload two pistols in battle.
More cosmetics will be added soon and there will be no paid-content until after release.
Lots of great content to come but their main focus is to work as fast they can on patches for both framerates and server lag.
Have devs looking at the console platform and it's going to happen, but not until the PC version is fully done.
Bullet drop and spread mechanics are still a work in progress.
Weapon damage and armor stats are still a work in progress (they're close to where they want to be but obviously will continue balancing/fixing damage done.)
Would like to add 1 weapon a month until release.
Directional audio is still a work in progress and a huge focus. The main dev on this feature is an ex CS pro-tier player.
Still hotfixing tons of those crappy falling animation glitches every day (you can see the build number change nearly every game you are in at the bottom middle of screen, version number).
He loves seeing the funny game modes already popping up in Customs. One Korean streamer has a makeshift Zombie mode where 1 squad is allowed to get melee weapons and 92 others have to use their fists attempting to kill the squad. Goldeneye where it's first person only, no armor no meds, and only pistols. Or "where's waldo?" 1 player dresses up in the red/white striped tee shirt and tries to hide from the other 99 players. Sounds fun
Adding more the point above, they will definitely add more options to the customs mode over time so when it goes public, we all get a chance to create some fun rulesets. He mentioned being able to remove the blue zone completely and make it a free roam map. Also thinks car races around the map would be fun too, once more options and mods come! (and less "car humping" bugs. his words, not mine lol)
"Map is meant to be sort of a forgotten island somewhere in the black sea and Soviets during the war to use as a military base.. then was abandoned due to an "accident". Basic gist of it. PU big fan of brutalist architecture and very proud of the map. If you didn't know the map is named "Erangel" in relation to PU's daughter Eireann.
Even more variety will be trickled into the current map so we have a few more interior models and such.
They now have 2 new members of the team that are officially "data scientists" and came from Bluehole's MMO studio. They're now analyzing the huge piles of data from the last couple months and will help being tweaking and balancing everything from car speed to parachute distances to gun damage. That is super exciting!
PU has always had faith that this genre could be done right and be a massively popular game. But he didn't expect 2 million copies so quickly and even though that puts a ton of pressure on his shoulders, he's at peace because of his "incredible" dev team. It will be good.
Host says "and for an early access game I've been very surprised how well it runs as I've not seen any crashes personally --" PU chimes in "Well for you that's great! But there are some people that have been crashing constantly and we truly, sincerely, apologize to those people and are working very hard to get those issues patched immediately. 90% of players might have no crashing issues but we need that to be as close to 100% as possible. Always send reports!"
They're constantly brainstorming circle speed ideas and firmly believe the only thing that should kill you is other players (if playing within the basic rules). Changes will come soon to circle speeds and new mechanics may be tested.

First Squad win yesterday, with a 3 man squad and all.
Decided at the start we were just going for a mess game too. Dropped as soon as we could, straight for the power plant. Fully expecting it to be chaos and to die almost instantly.
For some reason only 1 other squad did the same, managed to kill them all without losing anyone, and get geared up. Few fights along the way and some tactical retreats on our part and somehow we lucked out and ended up in the very center of the end circle, on a hill, with rocks for cover.
Very satisfying win.

I swear this approach works very often for me. I jump early to a spot that the plane is going right over. Everyone seems to think the spot will be flooded with people, hence nobody goes there. Its a bit of a double bluff but often works out.0 -

after several ****ty rounds yesterday (got shot by a guy as i was parachuting to a house,one shotted by a punch to head as i walked through a front door..etc etc) I was having what was shaping up to be a perfect run,found a group of houses to the east of the map,at the centre of the first circle,got geared up to level 3 backpack,level 2 helmet,an Mi6 with acog and extended mag,miniuzi with the silencer,5 first aid kits.. All i had to do was wait for the circle to shrink...
Game crashes..

Finally got my solo chicken dinner. I'll admit it was a bit underwhelming after all the heartbreak getting here. Pretty much drove a car to a point, got geared up then the circle closed in around an area of rocky shore. I pretty much just lay down, had a great spot in terms of hiding and everyone else came in from different avenues. I just lay down, let everyone else do the hard work. 2nd place kills 3rd place. He goes behind a tree. bang bang he's dead. 1 kill all round 0
