The images used are intended as visual references only; the actual game may look different as the builds are continually developed and refined before release.
Gunplay
Dragunov
Dragunov is now available in the game. - Weapon type: Designated Marksman Rifles (DMR) - Ammo: 7.62mm - Fire Mode: Single - Damage: 60 - Effective range: 500m - Muzzle velocity: 830m/s - Rate of fire: 150 RPM - Muzzle attachment: Every AR, DMR muzzle attachment. - Magazine attachment: Every AR, DMR magazine attachment. - Stock attachment: Cheekpad - Can attach up to the 15x Scope. - World-spawns. - Dragunov is available in Normal Matches, Ranked, Training Grounds, and Custom Matches. ㅤ- In the case of Arcade, Dragunov can be used in Team Deathmatch and Intense Battle Royale, but not in Bluebomb Rush mode.
Dev's comment: We've been listening to your invaluable feedback regarding the introduction of Dragunov, a weapon that was initially set to debut with a unique probabilistic damage system. Your participation in our recent survey allowed us to grasp your concerns regarding the probabilistic damage system and the fact that it might conflict with traditional skill-based gunplay. Our initial goal with Dragunov was to create a different gameplay experience and to add new excitement and unique elements to the usual game flow. But as we listened to your voices, we realized that this change might disrupt the core gameplay.
So in response to your input, we've made some critical changes. We've removed the probabilistic damage system, giving Dragunov a higher headshot damage compared to other DMRs. However, it still has a slower fire rate and higher recoil than other weapons in its category, giving it a more high-risk, high-reward feel. We also took into account your concerns shared in the survey and created limitations through damage thresholds ensuring that the new weapon doesn't overperform SRs in that area.
We will continue to monitor community feedback and metrics after Dragunov's release. We intend to maintain consistent communication with our players and strive to craft a well-balanced gunplay environment.
AUG Adjustments
- Rate of fire: 750 → 720 - Adjusted horizontal and vertical recoil.
Dev's comment: In March, we made changes to the existing meta, aiming to make the 5.56mm weaponss more appealing choices, and rebalanced the AUG, converting it to a world-spawn weapon. However, despite no separate balancing, its recent usage and win rates have risen rapidly, leading us to believe that performance adjustments are necessary. The fire rate of the AUG will be reduced, decreasing its DPS to a level that falls between the Beryl M762 and M416. Additionally, since a decrease in fire rate tends to lower perceived recoil, we've slightly increased the recoil so that the perceived level is going to stay approximately the same. We anticipate that AUG's usage difficulty will remain similar and it will continue to be a competitive weapon even after this change.
Tactical Gear
- Tactical Gear has been temporarily disabled.
Dev's comment: Tactical Gear will be temporarily removed as we've received considerable feedback regarding them following the 24.1 Update. We're undertaking a thorough review to ensure Tactical Gear aligns better with our gameplay, focusing on acquisition methods and performance. Once we've refined these elements, we plan to reintroduce Tactical Gear to the game.
Aston Martin
- Fixed the issue where the vehicle flips and/or driving feels awkward when driving through certain areas, with the "V12 Vantage Roadster" Sports Car or "V12 Vantage Roadster (Luxe)" Sports Car skin equipped. - (PC) Fixed the issue where the Vantage Paint (Cumberland Grey) is shown as Vantage (Luxe) Paint (Tayos Turquoise) after you initially equip the skin.
World: Miramar
※ The following updates apply to every mode. - To promote a more balanced gameplay environment, we've adjusted some high ground areas to prevent players from gaining an unfair advantage when attacking from extremely elevated positions.
Danger Zones
- Blizzard Zone and Sandstorm are now less likely to appear throughout the game.
Modes
Intense Battle Royale
- TPP mode has been added. ㅤ- FPP mode has been removed.
Dev's comment: Following the initial release of Intense Battle Royale, we acknowledged the widespread feedback suggesting the implementation of FPP mode, and subsequently introduced it. However, after a thorough analysis of both internal data and global feedback, we decided to revert to TPP starting this update. We understand how such change might affect our diverse player base and we ask for your understanding as these experimental changes aim to enhance the overall gameplay experience. We remain committed to monitoring your feedback after this update, so that our future adjustments can be more flexible and in tune with your preferences.
(PC) Bluebomb Rush
- Shop Key Binding ㅤ- You can now change the Bluebomb Rush Shop Key Binding which is currently set to "," key. ㅤ- The option above can be changed via "Settings → Key Bindings → Common → Spawn Tool". - Map / Scoreboard ㅤ- The default Key Binding for the map/scoreboard has been changed from two keys "M" and "Caps Lock" to a single key "M". ㅤ- Two Key Bindings can still be configured via "Settings → Key Bindings → Common → World Map".
(PC) Training Mode
- You can now change the Spawn Tool keybinding that was previously set to the "," key. - The option above can be changed via "Settings → Key Bindings → Common → Spawn Tool".
Progressive Weapon Skin System
New Skin Type: Chroma
Presenting Chroma, a new type of skin that allows you to modify the color and effects of your Progressive Weapon Skins. Elevate the vibrancy of your weapon skin collection with this new addition! - Chroma is a skin you can apply to Progressive Weapon Skins - it applies to the weapon skin, attachment skins, loot crates, and killfeeds. - Obtaining Chroma: ㅤ- Obtainable via the Hideout; further details on each Chroma skin can be found in our upcoming Store Update announcements. ㅤ- Multiple identical Chromas can be obtained, the first of which will be locked upon acquisition. - Applying Chroma: ㅤ- Click on the obtained Chroma icon on the Hideout - Weapons page. ㅤ- An applied Chroma will reflect every progressive level of the corresponding Progressive Weapon Skin. ㅤㅤ- You do not need an individual Chroma per progressive level. ㅤㅤ- Cannot be applied separately to specific progressive levels or attachments. ㅤ- If you own multiple identical Chromas and apply Chroma to a Progressive Weapon Skin, the locked Chroma will be applied. - Previewing Chroma: ㅤ- Preview is available through Hideout - Weapons - Chroma icon. ㅤ- Preview appears upon clicking the icon, regardless of owning the Progressive Weapon Skin or Chroma. ㅤ- Preview displays Chroma applied to the corresponding Progressive Weapon Skin, reflecting currently unlocked progressive levels.
BATTLESTAT Skin
- The BATTLESTAT skin for cumulative kills + headshots now features a new design.
Dev's Comment: While the Progressive Weapon Skin system has been a great way to add variety to PUBG gameplay, our current collection of diverse Progressive Weapon Skins prompted us to consider a transformation that can take effect in the present and moving forward. We're unveiling the new Chroma skin, which can be acquired and applied regardless of the Progressive Weapon Skin's progressive level. With this new feature, we hope to provide even more customization options for your valuable Progressive Weapon Skins. Additionally, starting from Update 25.2, the BATTLESTAT skin will now showcase a fresh look for future cumulative kills + headshots skins.
Performance
(PC) New Stability Improvement: GPU Debug
- Added two new options: "Collect GPU Crash Data" and "GPU Crash Report" ㅤ- Collect GPU Crash Data - Enable or disable the collection of GPU crash and related data including user crash dump files. ㅤㅤ- The option is disabled by default. ㅤㅤ- The option will be activated after enabling this setting and restarting the game. ㅤㅤ- The option may lower game performance due to stability checks and will be automatically disabled after 7 days of being enabled. ㅤ- GPU Crash Report - Displays a pop-up window whenever multiple GPU crashes occur, prompting users to enable the "Collect GPU Crash Data" option. ㅤㅤ- The option is enabled by default. - The options above can be enabled/disabled via "Settings → Gameplay → Others → GPU Crash" options menu.
- For fresh game installations, "DirectX 11 Enhanced" is now the default option. ㅤ- In other cases, the option has to be manually changed through "Settings > Advanced > DirectX Version > DirectX 11 Enhanced". ㅤ- If a PC does not support DX11 Enhanced, DX11 will be set as the default option. - DirectX 11 Enhanced is an option optimized for CPU performance, enhanced to support multi-threading during rendering. ㅤ- DirectX 11 Enhanced offers similar stability compared to DirectX 11, but in some cases can lead to increases in FPS.
Bug Fixes
Gameplay
