New Weapon: Dragunov

Introducing the world’s first designated marksman rifle, the Dragunov, to PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS, complete with its potent, lethal firepower. This new addition to the arsenal utilizes 7.62mm ammunition and is recognized for its potential to inflict high damage akin to a sniper rifle. With a bit of luck, you can take down an enemy in a single shot, adding a thrilling element of unpredictability to both Solo and Squad encounters. However, the Dragunov is not without its challenges: its hefty recoil and slower firing rate require a steady hand and quick reflexes. If you’re a player confident in your ability to master these traits, we highly recommend stepping up to the challenge!

  • Fire Modes: Single
  • Can attach up to the 15x Scope.
  • Ammo: 7.62mm
  • Damage per shot: 58 (Basic) ~ 73 (Max)
    • At a given probability, the maximum amount of damage will be inflicted.
  • 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
  • World spawns.
  • Available on every map and mode.
    • Not available in Bluebomb Rush mode.

Dev’s Comment: 

Greetings, players! We’re excited to officially unveil the Dragunov, as recently previewed in our last Dev Letter. In general terms, the Dragunov boasts performance akin to other designated marksman rifles but has been uniquely engineered to deliver potentially high damage at a given probability, but also presenting risks in terms of recoil and firing rate, commensurate with its potential for high damage output.

Our dev team aspires to break away from updating with similar weapons, and instead, introduce weaponry embodying unique concepts to foster distinct gameplay experiences. We are hopeful that the Dragunov, with its new position in the weaponry arsenal, will offer an exciting, fresh dynamic for our players.

As we are introducing a novel system that expands on the existing mechanics of PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS, we will be intensively monitoring both community feedback and vital gameplay statistics. Your thoughts and comments are not only welcome but crucial to us. Through these kinds of innovations, we aim to go beyond basic game balancing – our goal is to stimulate a rich tapestry of scenarios, augment the thrill of strategic gameplay, and establish a dynamic environment where our players can continuously evolve and improve their skills. The Dragunov, readily available as a world spawn weapon, is something we hope all players will have the opportunity to experience. We aspire for it to become a versatile and impactful choice across the board, in both Normal Matches and Ranked. We invite you to encounter the Dragunov in our Test Server today!

World: Miramar

The following updates apply to every mode.

New Areas

  • Partona
  • A lively hustle and bustle of markets and plazas, Partona is a circular village alive with a festival that harmoniously blends indigenous practices and traditions.
  • Partona replaces the previous area, Los Higos.
  • Added a new style of house sets.
  • Dev’s comment: 
    • Partona has been meticulously crafted to offer a looting efficiency similar to that of Los Higos. To provide a seamless navigation process for players, a bridge has also been constructed for easier access from the southern island.
  • Conceptualized from an abandoned retreat, the Resort is majestically perched on a hill overlooking the sweeping southern seascape.
  • Adjusted the locations of house sets and roadways.
  • Dev’s comment: 
    • The previous terrain, densely filled with housing sets, offered suboptimal looting efficiency and the rough fields posed a challenging landscape for players, particularly when the Blue Zone shifted to this area. To enhance gameplay, we’ve removed the paddy fields, transforming the space into the Resort – a thrilling new locale for looting.
  • An oasis for trucks laden with materials to take a much-needed break.
  • The Truck Stop replaces the previous Junkyard area.
  • The redesigned layout includes a main road, secondary roads, and rustic dirt paths for improved navigation and engagement.
  • Improvements have been made to the surrounding terrain.
  • Dev’s comment:
    • The Truck Stop introduces a unique visual theme and emphasizes a distinctive battle experience. With the integration of these new elements, we aspire to facilitate a different combat dynamic, distinguishing it from the other Miramar areas.

New Feature: Sandstorm

Presenting a vigorous wind of sand that traverses across the desert-like map – the Sandstorm. The Sandstorm…

  • replaces Miramar’s existing Red Zone.
  • gradually depletes the health of players inside, regardless of their location – be it within a vehicle or inside a building.
  • obstructs visibility to a certain extent.
  • slightly slows down movement speed.
  • extinguishes Smoke Grenades and Molotovs.
  • generates static electricity due to the intense friction from the swirling sands, rendering electronic equipment such as Jammer Packs, Drones, Spotter Scopes, Blue Chip Towers, and Blue Chip Transmitters inoperable.
  • subsides after some time.
  • does not form over the sea.
  • displays a warning message during the match and its activated area UI on the world map.

New Feature: Zipline

Introducing the new Zipline, enabling fluid navigation across various locations.

  • Every Zipline is equipped with two ropes.
  • Ziplines can be used using the Interaction key.
  • You can then embark with the forward direction key.
  • Ziplines allow straight-line movement only; reverse traversal is not an option.
  • Multiple players can use the Zipline simultaneously, but simultaneous boarding per rope is not possible prior to departure.
    • When players share the same starting point of a single rope, players can use the Zipline sequentially, following the departure of the preceding player.
  • Once players reach the opposite side, they are automatically unhooked from the Zipline.
  • Mid-journey release can be initiated by hitting the Interaction key again, leading to a fall.
  • In case of a fall, players can deploy their Utility Parachute depending on the fall’s height.
  • SMGs or Handguns can be used while riding the Zipline, but reloading is disabled.
  • Ziplines are marked on the map.

Dev’s Comment: 

With the introduction of Ziplines, players can strategically navigate through the islands and various ridges of Miramar at a brisk pace. Difficult-to-access spots, like enemy-guarded areas, can be breached swiftly and stealthily via Ziplines. The feature not only adds an exciting layer to combat dynamics but also aims to mitigate the challenging terrain of Miramar.

Area Modifications

  • Removed the Trailer Park and Ruins, and in its place, repositioned Alcantara to be slightly closer to the heart of the map.
  • Removed main roads that meandered around the outskirts.
  • Inserted a main road coursing through the town.
  • Tidied up nearby terrain and roads.
  • Placed new buildings and removed certain others in the vicinity of the newly positioned Alcantara.
  • Dev’s comment: By moving Alcantara closer to the center of the map, our goal is to retain its original charm while increasing its efficiency, and making it a more appealing location for players. 

  • Brick Yard

    • The area formerly known as Ladrillera has been rebranded as the Brick Yard.
    • This area holds the concept of a brick production site that caters to the brick usage in Miramar.
    • Revamped the entire layout, introducing new structures and looting spots.
    • The surrounding landscape has been enhanced for better accessibility.
    • Dev’s comment: Despite its unique theme, Ladrillera wasn’t utilized as a looting spot as much as we hoped. We have therefore enhanced its looting capabilities and reinforced its brick factory artistic concept.

  • Campo Militar

    • Removed Torre Ahumada, and in its place, repositioned Campo Militar.
    • Improved the general layout.
    • A shooting range and additional roads have been added.
    • The terrain has been modified.
    • The former location of Campo Militar now features house sets.
    • Dev’s comment: By removing certain less favored areas from the outskirts, and maintaining the original Campo Militar concept while moving it nearer to the map’s center, we’re striving to make it more accessible for players.

  • Cantera

    • Transformed the artistic concept of Cantera, reimagining it as a facility that processes, stores, and manages resources required for the construction of other buildings and factories.
    • The entire layout has been reconfigured and the terrain enhanced.
    • Dev’s comment: We removed the current concept of ruined buildings used in La Bendita, and replaced it with a new concept featuring warehouses that promise efficient looting.

  • Chumacera

    • The surrounding area has been improved and terrain bugs fixed.
    • Added more rock and tree covers.

  • Impala

    • The surrounding terrain has been enhanced.
    • Added more areas for cover.

  • Los Leones

    • Certain buildings have been removed for optimization purposes, and in its place, new structures have been added.
    • Certain objects have been modified or removed.

  • Pecado

    • The surrounding terrain has been improved.
    • Dev’s comment: The firing range from atop the cliff has been limited. Skillful use of cover below now makes it harder to fire from the cliff’s edge. The environment now resembles a valley, offering sufficient cover for players and their vehicles.

  • Power Grid

    • Cliffs have been added and certain current ones removed.
    • The size of cliffs has been adjusted.
    • Dirt roads and more cover have been added.

  • Prison

    • Removed Minas del Sur and in its place, repositioned Prison.
    • The layout has been upgraded and main buildings polished.
    • Surrounding cliffs have been removed and the terrain modified.
    • Roads have been added.
    • The former location of the Prison now features a set of houses.
    • Dev’s comment: The previous location of the Prison was situated on the peripheral parts of the island, rarely attracting players for initial looting. To address this, we removed Minas del Sur and redesigned the Prison, now nestled within a natural enclosure of ridges.

  • Water Treatment

    • Loot-rich buildings have been placed.
    • The general layout, surrounding terrain, and cliffs have been improved.
    • Entrance routes have been tidied up.
    • A main road has been added.
    • Dev’s comment: We transformed the area into a more efficient looting spot and improved the surrounding terrain to facilitate easy entrance and escape, hoping to make it a more efficient drop spot.

  • Southern island

    • The southern island has been expanded.
    • Bridges have been added to connect it to the mainland.
    • The positioning of house sets has been modified, with more being added.
    • Surrounding cliffs have been improved for easier access.
    • Roads have been added.
    • Dev’s comment: By adding bridges and Ziplines, we hope to diversify the gameplay, offer alternative routes, and alleviate the stress associated with navigating the island.

  • Added new environmental objects such as tumbleweeds and plastic bags.
  • Certain fences have been removed, and others replaced with more fitting designs.

Dev’s comment: 

In our latest update for Miramar, our primary focus has been on fine-tuning and enhancing existing features, rather than implementing a large-scale overhaul.

Historically, Miramar presented players with numerous challenges: navigating difficult terrain, engaging in complex ridge combat, and strategizing around challenging landscapes. With this update, our aim is to diversify the gameplay experience by introducing various visual enhancements and incorporating new content. All the while, we’ve made every effort to maintain the core elements that define Miramar’s unique gameplay.

We have worked to improve the Miramar terrain, merging a wider range of strategic routes to alleviate difficulties related to player movement, all while preserving Miramar’s hardcore ethos. In our first step towards this goal, we have simplified or entirely removed certain areas of the map that were underutilized or somewhat isolated, thereby streamlining the gameplay for our players.

For this update, we have meticulously reworked elements of the map that were inconsistent with accumulated gameplay data and player feedback. Our aim is to broaden the spectrum of possibilities for players within the visually enhanced map environment.

We hope that, through these changes, we can increase the variety of viable looting spots available to players during the initial phases. In turn, this should enrich both movement patterns and strategic decision-making within the game. Our ongoing mission is to continue enhancing the game, maintaining balanced map environments and fostering gameplay diversity. Our goal is to refresh established patterns and ensure that Miramar becomes an even more engaging and accessible map for all players.

  • The Emergency Pickup plane is replaced by a helicopter.
    • Sound effects adjusted accordingly.
  • The helicopter’s flight altitude has been reduced.

Dev’s comment:

We’ve been closely tracking your comments regarding the Emergency Pickup, including concerns about the plane’s altitude making it difficult to spot, the confusion caused by the similar sound effects it shares with Care Packages, and its frequent drop-offs to inaccessible areas. To address these issues, we have implemented balance modifications to the Emergency Pickup.

Intense Battle Royale

  • FPP mode has been added.
    • TPP mode has been removed.

Dev’s comment: 

Following the initial release of Intense Battle Royale, we’ve observed its widespread popularity among our fans, and at the same time, also noted a steady stream of feedback expressing a desire for the availability of FPP mode, with many opinions voicing that the pulsating late-game scenarios inherent to the Intense Battle Royale experience could be more immersive if experienced through FPP. Acknowledging this, we’ve shifted the gameplay perspective from TPP to FPP.

As part of our ongoing commitment to enhancing the gaming experience, we’ve been exploring various improvements up to this point, such as the addition of new areas, and believe this change can further elevate the immersive qualities of Intense Battle Royale.

While TPP has been phased out of live matches, players can still enjoy TPP in Custom Matches!

    • War Mode: Conquest – Default Settings
  • Sosnovka Military Base has been removed from Team Deathmatch.

Lobby

New Feature: Team Suggest

  • A new Team Suggest feature has been added.
  • Focuses on recommending online players from a pool of your PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS friends, affiliated Clan members, and 30 players you’ve recently played with through the lobby UI.
  • There is a priority in player suggestion:
    • Players who have played more than five matches with you as a team are suggested as first priority. Among these players, suggestions are made based on the number of matches played, and in the case of a tie, recent matches are prioritized.
    • Players who have played between 1 to 4 matches with you as a team are suggested as the second priority, with a preference for recent matches.
    • After the above priorities are considered, if there are still open slots, logged-in friends or Clan members are suggested in the order of their most recent login.
    • In the event of completely identical priorities, a random recommendation will be made.
  • You can do the following actions depending on your current status:
    • If you are alone in the lobby:
      • If the suggested player is your friend/Clan member and alone in the lobby, they can join your party (You can invite if joining is not permitted).
      • If the suggested player is your friend/Clan member and part of a team or currently playing, they can join.
      • If the suggested player is not your friend/Clan member and alone in the lobby, they can be invited.
    • If you are in the lobby as part of a team:
      • If the suggested player is your friend/Clan member/etc. and alone in the lobby, they can be invited.
  • Up to 3 players can be suggested. When an action is taken, the players with the next priority are displayed sequentially. If all suggested players have been actioned and are no longer on the list, no more players will remain on the list.
  • However, there may be instances when a player may be suggested for team play but may not be able to join due to certain conditions.
    • For example, when the status of a player who has been proposed does not meet the required conditions before a lobby restart (switching between Normal Match and Ranked, re-entering the lobby after accessing the Social page, or restarting the lobby via settings), a system error message will be displayed.

Dev’s Comment: 

We’ve identified a need for a system that continuously suggests potential team members. In response to this requirement, we’re introducing the Team Suggest feature that recommends familiar players to those who show a preference for team play. We’re hopeful that this initiative will incentivize the formation of teams and heighten the enjoyment of matches with suggested players!

Team Up

  • The Team Up feature has been removed.
    • Every in-game and out-game UI has been removed.

Dev’s Comment: 

The Team Up feature was developed to facilitate immediate team formation among players who found synergy with randomly encountered teammates. However, not all team members finish the match simultaneously, as they might be engaged in other activities such as watching their Death Cam or spectating. This circumstance necessitated the consideration of numerous exceptional cases when forming teams, subsequently complicating the development and maintenance of fundamental team features.

Furthermore, the Team Up feature has been found to be seldomly utilized by our players. While it has potential value for a subset of our player base, the high maintenance cost combined with the introduction of the new Team Suggest feature have led to our decision to discontinue this feature.

Although we acknowledge the Team Suggest feature can’t completely replace all functionalities of Team Up, it provides a variety of viable alternatives, as players can now transparently monitor the status of other players in the lobby and dispatch invites or friend requests. Additionally, the forthcoming Team Suggest feature will further assist in addressing a shortage of team members.

PUBG 

PUBG: Battlegrounds, originally known as PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, is a popular battle royale game developed by PUBG Studios and published by Krafton. Inspired by the Japanese film “Battle Royale,” the game was shaped by Brendan “PlayerUnknown” Greene’s creative direction. It emerged from his mods for other games and became a standalone game. Set in the PUBG Universe series, it offers exciting gameplay that has captivated millions of players worldwide.

The game drops up to a hundred players onto an island where they must search for weapons and gear to eliminate opponents while avoiding being eliminated themselves. The map’s safe area shrinks over time, forcing players into closer encounters. The last player or team standing emerges victorious. The game offers both third-person and first-person perspectives, accommodating various playstyles. It first launched on Windows in 2017 and was later released on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Stadia, and more.

PUBG received acclaim for introducing a fresh take on gameplay and popularizing the battle royale genre. Despite some technical issues, it offers dynamic experiences accessible to players of all skill levels. The game’s impact is evident through its numerous awards, Game of the Year nominations, and Guinness World Records. With over 75 million copies sold and $13 billion in revenue across platforms, including its mobile version, PUBG stands as one of the highest-grossing video games globally, contributing significantly to the gaming industry’s landscape.

PUBG Gameplay

PUBG offers an intense player-versus-player (PvP) shooter experience where up to one hundred players engage in a battle royale. The goal is to be the last one standing amidst a dynamic and ever-shrinking battleground. Players can choose to participate solo, in pairs, or small teams of up to four, strategizing to outlive opponents and secure victory.

Each match begins with players parachuting onto one of eight maps, each varying in size and terrain. The path of the plane that drops players across the map changes each time, requiring quick decisions about when to jump. Upon landing, players scavenge buildings and locations for weapons, gear, and vehicles to enhance their chances of survival. These items are spread across the map, with high-risk zones offering more potent equipment. As the game progresses, the playable area contracts, forcing players into closer proximity and intensifying encounters. Staying outside this “safe zone” causes damage, potentially leading to elimination.

Periodically, parts of the map are highlighted and bombed, pushing players to adapt and relocate. Airdrop packages, marked by red smoke, hold rare items that players typically can’t find during normal gameplay. A match typically takes around 30 minutes, and upon completion, players earn in-game currency based on performance. This currency can be used to buy crates containing cosmetic items for character and weapon customization. PUBG keeps things fresh with rotating “event modes,” tweaking game rules to offer unique challenges and experiences.

In essence, PUBG’s gameplay revolves around swift decision-making, strategic item collection, and adapting to a constantly evolving battlefield, making it a compelling and engaging experience for players worldwide.
