Update 12.1 has arrived on the Battlegrounds!

We’re excited for you to get your hands on our biggest Miramar update to date! Sweeping changes have been made map-wide, including improved textures and an overhaul to lighting. Major points of interest will still feel familiar but fresh, with adjustments to building interiors and reduced object clutter to enhance ease of movement throughout the map.

Put your marksman skills to work with the armor-piercing Lynx AMR sniper rifle and traverse the updated desert landscape of Miramar on the new Quad off-road vehicle.

We appreciate everyone who had time to play the changes on the test server and graciously offer feedback. Based directly on your feedback, we’ve reduced bloom in certain weather settings to improve visibility.


Please keep the feedback coming; we’ll continue to monitor your feedback closely.

That’s not all; tomorrow we’re adding a new limited-time mode to PUBG LABS – Racing Mode! Check out the Racing Mode announcement to learn more and view the full patch rundown in the patch notes.

See you on the Battlegrounds.

PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS - Sheepy


Season 12 has landed on the Battlegrounds!

Drop-in and explore our biggest Miramar update since launch; with significant visual and design improvements, a new uniquely Miramar vehicle, and an armor-destroying sniper rifle, what’s not to love?



Read on for full details, including the introduction of a new weapon skin upgrade system, pre-game soccer, quality of life improvements, and more!

Miramar World Update
Miramar holds a special place in our hearts; launched alongside PUBG 1.0 in December 2017 we're thrilled to show you the improvements made for Season 12.

Throughout the map, we've focused on improving the overall visual quality (lighting especially) while also keeping a close eye on improving player interactions with the environment to improve your gameplay experience.

Expect an overall smoother experience, with reduced object clutter, less troublesome coastlines, adjusted cover across the map, and more.

While points of interest will still feel very familiar, we've introduced key changes to improve core gameplay and keep things feeling fresh. Keep an eye out and let us know what you think!

The following items have been added to the Miramar loot table:
  • Jammer Packs
  • Decoy Grenades
  • Emergency Parachutes

  • Terrain Updates
We have improved the visual fidelity of textures and materials across the map. Additional cliffs have been added for steep slopes, which clearly indicate areas that cannot be climbed easily.


  • Cliff Updates
Cliffs have been improved across the map and now look much better overall.


  • Foliage Updates
Trees, plants, and other foliage have received vast visual improvements.


  • Lighting Updates
One goal of these lighting changes is to push a warmer, drier, and arid feel to help separate the feel and color palette from other maps. Looking at the map, we plotted the sun's arch and tweaked the lighting setups to represent different times of day better. We aimed to create a softer image with less contrast to help with eye strain while still ensuring longer distance engagements.

In the existing weather types: Sunny, Sunset, Sunrise, and Cloudy, the intensity and color have been adjusted. Sandstorm and Dusk will be introduced in Challenger Mode. Finally, improvements were made to the bunker and interior lighting.




  • Building and Object Updates
Many buildings and objects across the map have received visual improvements.


  • Map Flow
Reduced clutter across the map to improve ease of movement, especially around building entrances.

BATTLESTAT Exchange Kit
Introducing the BATTLESTAT Exchange Kit! Swap kill counter progress from one BATTLESTAT skin to another.
  • Transfer the current kill count from one BATTLESTAT skin to another BATTLESTAT skin.
  • Only available to use with two BATTLESTAT skins which are the same weapon, tier, and counter-type.
  • This item is consumed upon use.

New Weapon - Lynx AMR



The Lynx AMR is PUBG's first Anti-Materiel Rifle, a semi-automatic crate gun capable of damaging military equipment and armor, in addition to players and vehicles.

Intended as a hard counter to vehicles, the Lynx is also effective in any situations you'd find yourself wanting to scope in and shoot down an enemy.
  • PUBG's first .50 caliber weapon
  • The Lynx AMR is first and foremost the best anti-vehicle sniper rifle in the game, capable of destroying BRDMs and even penetrating the windows to kill its occupants.
    • Capable of destroying weak vehicles like motorcycles in a single shot and most regular vehicles in two or three shots.
  • Players have five shots only, with no way to reload.
  • Spawns in Care Package only on Miramar in Normal Matches. In a future update, the Lynx will be added to Custom Matches and Training Mode

New Vehicle - Quad



The Quad is an off-road vehicle with four low-pressure tires and a driver seat designed to be straddled by the operator, with handlebars for steering control, with room on the back for a teammate. Modeled after a racing-style ATV, get ready to explore the Battlegrounds on this all-terrain monster we call the Quad.
  • Seats: 2
  • Health: 750
  • Maximum Speed: 110 km/h (125 km/h at maximum boost)

Lobby Ball



Teammates no longer appreciate your jump punches to the face during pre-match lobbies anymore? We've added some soccer balls as another way to keep you entertained while you prepare to drop in-game. Shoot, dribble and pass, but just don't kick them into the water..

  • The soccer balls vanish once the game begins.

  • Added Context Menu (right-click) when customizing your character to facilitate additional options

Bot Improvements



Since the introduction of bots, we've made numerous improvements to their behavior, including adding additional interactions with grenades and cover. With this update, bots will now jump from the plane similarly to other players and we've also made additional improvements to the underlying bot AI.
  • These changes apply to all situations where bots spawn:
    • Match: Normal Match
    • Maps where upgraded bots can be found: Erangel, Miramar, Sanhok, Vikendi
    • POV: TPP/FPP
    • Modes: Solo/Duo/Squad
World



In the Hall of Fame building on Erangel, the PGI.S winners are now being showcased. Relive the excitement from PGI.S in-game.
  • The winning team's jersey and logo have been added.
  • Names of the winning players are displayed on the Hall of Fame board.
  • Photos of the tournament-winning moment have been put on show.
  • The PGI.S 2021 trophy is also displayed in all its glory.

Custom Matches


Racing Mode will soon be live in PUBG LABS for a limited time and lead PUBG Partners available to create Racing Mode games in Custom Matches right now. For full details, read the PUBG LABS: Racing Mode announcement.

Emergency Pickup Improvements

Thank you for the tremendous amount of feedback since we first introduction of the Emergency Pickup feature. And, with your feedback in mind, we're the following changes:
  • Emergency pickup airplanes will appear less frequently.
  • There is now a 90-second cooldown between airplanes.
  • A countdown timer appears on the emergency pickup icon if an airplane isn't currently available. Using an Emergency Pickup while the airplanes are on cooldown will cause the kit to be wasted.
  • Improved the sound rope sounds when attached players are moving.
  • Changed the model of the airplane.
Reputation System Changes

We have made additional changes to the reputation system to prevent a decrease in reputation points due to player reports.
  • Temporary bans related to potential cheating won't impact reputation. Players found to be cheating will still be permanently banned.
  • Reputation will still decrease from other types of bans.
  • Breaking the PUBG Rules of Conduct can result in a ban and a subsequent decrease in reputation. We've updated in-game wording accordingly.
Social
  • A view profile button has been added when receiving a team invite
    • You can now see a person's profile before accepting their invitation
  • When receiving multiple team invites, the invite number is displayed in the upper right corner of the window.
    • By default, the most recent team invite is displayed first.
    • When a new team invite is received while viewing the profile via the team invitation message:
      • Team invitation messages from players in the profile you are currently viewing will be pinned to the front, and new team invitations will be placed behind them.
      • You can check that there is an invitation by seeing the number displayed at the top right of the message.
Performance Improvements
  • Improved server performance through server replication cost optimization related to character spawning
  • Enabled "Do not use display scaling in high DPI settings" equivalent setting without requiring it be set manually
