Let's Play Taego Hashtag Event


Hello Survivors!

To celebrate the release of Taego, we have prepared a simple event for our players to play more on Taego and win rewards. Please read the description below carefully and take part in the event to win G-Coin!

HOW TO PARTICIPATE


REWARDS


We will carefully review all entries, then distribute 1,000 G-Coin to the final winners.  

SCHEDULE AND REGULATIONS

Update 13.1 - Patch Notes


13.1 Highlights


Hello Survivors,

We cannot express our thanks enough for all the great feedback and player comments regarding the release of Taego with Update 12.2. Thanks to your constructive feedback, we're making lots of changes and improvements to Taego; let's jump into it!

Taego Updates


Multi Care Packages


We have received a lot of player feedback asking for an increase in the amount of Care Package air drops available in each match. Let's fix that!

Previously, it was generally only one player who'd get all the loot from each drop, with not much left to go around. With this update, we've dramatically increased the number of Care Packages, through additional small air drops, allowing more players the chance to hunt them down and loot them up. 

When the situation is right, additional Care Packages can be used as hard cover to engage or retreat from your opponent.

Secret Room


The Taego Secret Room can change the course of your match and help you win that chicken dinner. Top-tier gear, including items not found elsewhere on the Battlegrounds can be looted inside the secret room.

Hidden keys are scattered across Taego and can looted, then used to access the Taego Secret Room. 

Emergency Landing


A simple leisurely plane ride to the Battlegrounds? Maybe not so much.. stay alert and pay attention to the flight crew's instructions, as not every flight is a smooth one. Engine failure can cause your plane to catch fire and come hurtling towards the ground while attempting to make an emergency landing.

Item Spawn Changes


Based on player feedback, we're making the following Taego item spawn changes:

Sanhok Updates


Sanhok was originally released in 2018 and remastered in 2020. We haven't stopped there and continue to make additional changes and improvements across the map. Based on the feedback received after the remaster, we're improving movement flow in specific areas and adding additional cover to encourage more diverse and reactive gameplay.

Northwest Island Geographical Improvements



When moving to the northwest island, players often had no choice but to cross the water without going over the bridge and instead traverse the island's outskirts, with no choice but to cross the water and engage enemies from a difficult position. 

We have added cover to the previously open west to north coast areas near South Ruins and its connecting area. 

Northwest Island Temple at the Summit Improvements


Some buildings usable as cover did not spawn items, so we felt the need to improve those areas. Additionally, there wasn't very much cover for those game enough to make the journey from Camp Alpha and climb towards the temple.

Matchmaking - Map Rotation


Ranked Season 13

Honor Based Rewards


Since Ranked Season 11, additional focus was placed on your most recent Ranked achievements, with honor-based rewards such as nameplates and emblems now only available to display for the duration of the new season. 

We hope this encourages players to continue their ranked progression while also adding a little more prestige to those hard-earned rewards each season. Ranked in-game cosmetics, such as parachute skins, etc., will remain available to use throughout all seasons.

Players who reach the highest ranks will receive additional rewards, such as animated nameplates and emblems to make the grind just a little sweeter.

Season 12 Ranked Mode Rewards 


Ranked rewards are granted based on your rank at season end. Players who reach at least Gold V will receive the Season 12 Ranked Parachute skin!  Those who fight their way to Platinum or higher will also be rewarded with a unique Animated Emblem. Master or higher players will also receive an Animated Nameplate.

The Top 500 players from each region will receive a unique Top 500 Animated Emblem and Animated Nameplate to show their status as world-beaters. Top 500 players will be displayed in-game on the LEADERBOARD.

Finally, view all your Season 12 Rankedstats by checking out the STATS screen under the CAREER tab in-game once the season wraps up.

Upcoming Ranked Schedules: Season 13

How will my Rewards be Delivered?


All rewards are granted automatically at the beginning of the new season. You may find the rewards on the pop-up screen shown upon your first log-in of the new season.

Changes in Ranked Season 13


In Ranked Mode, players Diamond rank or higher who don't play ranked for 7 days will begin to receive daily RP decay. Previously this decay would stop at 3000 RP, allowing players to maintain at least the lowest level of Diamond ranking, regardless of decay. In season 13, this decay will only stop once a player falls out of Diamond and into Platinum.

The purpose of ranked is to constantly improve your skills, hone strategies, and compete with competitive other players. We want to ensure that the players who reach the highest ranks and receive ranked rewards continue to hold their rank throughout the season. 

Weapon Balance Update


As a battle royale game where every match presents different situations, we believe each weapon category should have its purpose in certain types of encounters. When checking our data, we found DMRs to be overperforming at long to very long ranges. However, at very long distances you would expect SRs to have an advantage. These balance changes should make SRs more viable than before - especially for engagements at very long distances.

Alongside buffs to SRs, including improved bolting animation and transition speeds,  certain ARs and the PP-Bizon receive recoil reductions or an increase in damage.

Read below for full details.

SRs
The ballistics of the following Sniper Rifles have been adjusted:

Some mechanics of the following Sniper Rifles have been adjusted:

DMRs

The following balance changes have been applied to DMRs: 

ARs

G36C

DP-28

LABS: Futsal Mode



Hello Survivors!

LABS is where we experiment with unique and often wholly new PUBG experiences, and this time around is no different. Futsal Mode is all about soccer, with a side of combat, and players who score the most goals will transform into soccer superstar, Premier League player "Sonny" Heung-Min Son!

The Futsal Field has different areas with buffs and weapon spawns, so each player has their own role and place in the team.

Read on for full gameplay details.

Futsal Field




Play Zone
The Buff Zone is created and spawns weapons on a regular basis. When a player enters the Buff Zone, that player consumes the buff automatically.

Make sure to keep an eye out for spawned weapons in Buff Zones, pick them up, and attack your enemies while you fight your way to victory.
  • Buff Area spawn intervals: 30 seconds
  • Buff types
    • Gain 50 HP
    • 1.2x movement speed increase for 15 seconds.
  • Weapon types
    • Frying Pan
    • Sickle
    • Machete
    • Crowbar
    • Sawed-Off + 12 Gauge x2 (spawns at a lower rate but once equipped, it's a surefire way to knock down your opponents)

Penalty Zone
The Penalty Zone plays an important role, as it's both a respawn area and spawns the Shield used to protect your goal.

  • Respawns
    • After death, players respawn in the Penalty Zone and are invincible for three seconds. Players cannot move out of the zone until the invincibility has worn off.

  • The Shield
      When a player equipped with the Shield moves out of the Penalty Zone the Shield disappears and a new Shield spawns in the Penalty Zone.

Match Rules



Victory Conditions
  • The team to score more goals by the end of the match will claim victory.

Tied Score
  • In the event of a tie, the match will enter overtime. If scores remain tied after overtime, the winner will be decided by most kills or the team with the MVP.

Format
  • Matches will be played in two five-minute halves, with three minutes of overtime being played automatically if the score is tied after regular time.
    • Matches have 5 seconds of preparation time prior to kick-off

FAQ




How can players control the ball?
  • Move towards the ball and make contact to dribble.
    • The faster you're moving when you make contact, the further the ball will go. Try sprinting at the ball when you want to shoot or make a long pass.
  • You can use melee attacks such as punching to attack opponents.

Are there fouls?
  • No. Feel free to use aggression with your enemies whilst trying to take possession.
  • There are no offsides, lineouts, or handling fouls. Do whatever you want and can to secure the win!

Is there a goalie?
  • We provide a Shield so that one player from each team can defend their goal.
  • The Shield covers a large area and can also be used to push away your opponents! Try to take advantage of this feature when defending.
    • The Shield can be equipped and used only within the penalty area. If you cross the penality line with the Shield equipped, it'll be unequipped automatically.

How do you become Son Heung-min?!
  • The player who scores the most goals during the match can transform into "Sonny", the superhero.
    • For male characters, Son's face, hair, and uniform are applied. For female characters, face and hair remain the same.
    • If someone else takes the lead, they will then become Son Heung-min.
  • Once you transform into Son, you benefit from a full boost with an extra speed increase until the end of the match.

CHANGES IN RANKED SEASON 13


If a player with 3,000 RP does not play Ranked for seven days or more, RP and tier demotion will begin, and changes to the demotion standards will occur. Previously, after reaching the Diamond tier or higher at least once during the season, players could maintain their tier and receive high honor rewards without participating in Ranked matches. The purpose of Ranked is to check and improve your skills by constantly competing with others, even if you lose and your RP. Reaching a high tier and obtaining rewards without participating in Ranked is far against the intention of Ranked, which is why we came up with this decision.  

Thank you.
