Hello, Survivors. First up in this update is the ability to pick up and carry a downed survivor. You can now throw them over your shoulders and bring them with you to victory.

Next up, Taego has received a lot of changes. Additional covers are added in some areas, and the terrain has also received improvements. Furthermore, Breakable Pots have items inside so break and loot! Error Space are special new zones marked on the map that can spawn items featured in other Battlegrounds, so make sure to check the map for locations.

In addition, Taego and Paramo have been added to the Ranked. The rulesets have also been changed accordingly, so check out the details below. Many changes have been made to Erangel’s hot place Pochinki, along with the Pony Coupe and Porter, Halloween decor and weather on Erangel, the new Trick-or-Treat Progressive M416, and more, so be sure to check them out below for full details.


TAEGO WORLD IMPROVEMENTS
Since the introduction of Taego, we have been continuously analyzing the play history to collect information about the overly advantageous areas on the map. As a result, we discovered that some regions of Taego have a relatively high win rate compared to others.

After checking the win rate of the most popular combat zones, objects and terrain improvements were made for the areas with a win rate of 75% or more.

• Improvements
  • Added cover to the mountain area north of the Palace and the river area east of the Terminal.
    • Fixed field of view, bends, and cover for areas where terrain composition is difficult to overcome.
  • Improved the cliff topography in the north of Buk San Sa area.
    • Corrected the height of the cliffside terrain, which was considered to be OP.
  • Reorganization of the topography around the School area.
    • After removing the surrounding trees, added fields.
  • Covers and hills have been reorganized.
    • Terrain improvements in some coastal areas.
      • Redline: Corrected the cliff topography of the entire coast.
      • Blueline: Removed rocks located around the lighthouse.
  • Some mountain/river areas:
    • Green area: Added trees to the hillside.
    • Magenta Zone: Added flat terrain curves.
    • Sky Blue Zones: Added cover for areas that lack cover.

Introducing the Error Space, this map exclusive feature to Taego allows players to gather other map-exclusive weapons and supplies to be spawned randomly within these zones.

Error Space zones are displayed randomly on the minimap and will be active until the end of the match, so make sure you head to the Error Space early so you don’t miss out! 

Game Modes:
Custom Match
– Players can set the number of Error Spaces.
– Players can set the spawning probability of Error Spaces.

Various items are placed in Breakable Pots that are placed all over the map. Break the pot to loot multiple items inside and lead the match to victory. However, be aware that the sound of breaking the pot may expose your location to enemies. You may break the pot by punching it, but a few shots with your gun can come in handy.

• Game Modes
  • Normal Match
  • Ranked
  • Custom Match
• Spawned Items
  • Medical Items
    • First Aid Kit
    • Bandage
  • Boost Items
    • Adrenaline Syringe
    • Painkillers
    • Energy Drink
  • Throwables
    • Frag Grenade
    • Smoke Grenade
    • Stun Grenade
    • Molotov Cocktail

We received much feedback on the inconvenient situations that players experienced while waiting for Comeback BR. Therefore, to provide a better overall experience, we have made the following improvements.

• UI Improvements
  • A warning message will be displayed when trying to leave while spectating Comeback BR.
  • If you die while being able to participate in Comeback BR, “Exit to lobby” button will be disabled for three seconds.
  • A timer that indicates the time left until the start of Comeback BR will be displayed.
  • Comeback BR team UI improvements
    • Nicknames are now displayed brighter for squadmates who are waiting for Comeback BR to begin.

We gave high low-end torque and excellent stability in consideration of the rugged and mountainous terrains of Taego for its exclusive vehicles. Also, Taego is very difficult to travel without a vehicle. So we have max speeds to prevent them from being destroyed easily from attacks. However, we have listened to the voices of our community saying the top speeds were too fast, so we have reduced the top speeds of the vehicles.

• Pony Coupe
  • Normal: Reduced from 140km/h to under 130km/h.
  • Boost: Reduced from 150km/h to under 140km/h. 
• Porter
  • Normal: No changes are applied.
  • Boost: Reduced from 130km/h to under 120km/h.

• Leaver Penalty
  • The leaver penalty should be applied for players who have died and are qualified for the Comeback BR but choose to leave the match without waiting for the Comeback BR to begin.
  • Leaver penalty is applied when leaving match during Comeback BR

POCHINKI 
An update has been made to Pochinki, one of the most popular drop points for dropping on Erangel. Until now, it was challenging to escape from Pochinki after early match combat without a vehicle. Also, the surrounding area was made up of fields, which made it easy for the enemies to find you. The following updates have been made to address these difficulties. Last but not least, the quality of the terrain around the map has been improved.

• Pochinki Church Renewal
  • In order to balance with the surrounding two or three-story buildings, we have blocked the church rooftop play.
  • Added a secret room in the basement of the church where items are spawned. This room can be accessed without a key. 
• Updated Terrain Around Pochinki
  • Added waterway.
  • Added cover.
  • Added fences.
  • Fixed terrain height. 
• Improved Pochinki Terrain Quality.

Trick or treat! It’s that season of the year again. To maximize the Halloween vibes, we have finished decorating some parts of Erangel. Knock on the door and shout out trick or treat!

• School, Hospital, and the Starting island area have been decorated with the Halloween concept.
• Halloween-themed weather, with unique moon color and fog in certain areas, is added.
  • Game Modes
    • Normal match
    • Custom match
  • Weather Probability
    • Halloween: 30
    • Clear: 50
    • Cloudy: 20
• Care Package Smoke Color
  • Changed to Halloween colors.
    • Flaregun supply crates are not included.
• Placed Mummy Coffins at School, Hospital, and the Starting Island.

Making its way to the Battlegrounds this update is the new Carry feature. Be the hero your team deserves by risking it all to carry an ally to safety or take a downed enemy on the adventure of a lifetime – before they bleed out, that is. 

There are pros and cons to picking up a downed player. For one, they’ll serve as a sort of human shield, guarding you against some incoming fire (pro for you, con for them…), but in return, you will not be able to sprint, jump, crouch, prone or hurdle, so make sure you choose your rescue route carefully. You can still fire while carrying a player, but your options are reduced to hip fire only. As for the carried player themselves, their bleed out time will be lowered, and they’ll also be able to spot for you, though their visibility will be limited to whichever way you turn them.

• Available on all maps.
• You may pick up any downed player (friend or foe) that is not currently self-reviving or being revived.
• While carrying a player, the following is true:
  • The following cannot be used.
    •  Panzerfaust
    • Melee weapons
    • Throwables (includes Gas/Jerry Can)
    • Emergency Pickup
    • Emergency Parachute
  • You and the carried player still take damage separately.
  • Your movement speed remains the same. However, you cannot crouch, go prone, sprint, jump, or hurdle.
  • You may still fire your weapon, but from the hip only.
  • You may not use healing items.
  • You may not use throwables.
• While being carried a player, the following is true:
  • Your field of vision is limited to the direction your carrier is facing you.
• Carried players cannot join you in a vehicle.
• When the Carrier starts to swim Carry is canceled and the carried person drops/sinks to the bottom.
• You cannot attach to an Emergency Pickup while carrying a player.
• You may not use an Emergency Parachute while carrying a player.

• Normal Match
  • As-is: Erangel, Miramar, Sanhok, Vikendi , Karakin
  • To-be: Erangel, Miramar, Sanhok, Taego, Paramo
• Ranked
  • As-is: Erangel, Miramar, Sanhok, Vikendi 
  • To-be: Erangel, Miramar, Taego, Paramo

As the Taego and Paramo are added to the Ranked, a separate ruleset is set for Ranked Mode.

• Taego
  • Maximum Players: 64
  • Blue Zone: Same as Normal Matches.
  • Care Package: Same as Normal Matches.
  • Red Zone: Not available.
  • Vehicle Spawn: Added fixed spawning locations.

  • Red Zone: Not available.
  • Weather: Clear.

Season 13 has now wrapped up and it’s time to enjoy your rewards, after a hard-fought season of Ranked. Rewards will be automatically distributed to your inventory upon login at the beginning of Season 14.

Season 13 rewards are granted based on your final end-of-season rank.

• The earnable rewards above will be ‘UNLOCKED’ FOR A SINGLE RANKED SEASON ONLY (except for the permanent Parachute Skin reward) for the purpose of featuring a player’s seasonal accomplishments.
• Players will only receive the reward for the highest rank they get just before a Ranked season ends.
• Players can find their Unlocked Rewards in the inventory at the start of a new Season.
• Once the server undergoes maintenance after a Ranked Season ends, we will be collecting players’ Unlocked Rewards from their inventories.

• Kills
  • Player kills that happen during the Comeback BR will count as valid kills.
• Team Placements
  • Team Placements are calculated the same way as long as the spectate system works the same way. This means:
    • Players who are alive and participating in the comeback BR can be spectated by their dead teammates.

NEW PROGRESSIVE WEAPON SKIN – TRICK-OR-TREAT M416

• You can view upgraded features for each level of your Progressive Weapon Skin. Consume materials to upgrade your Progressive Weapon Skins.

Hello PUBG Esports fans,

The year 2021 was another tough one due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, but we’ve done our best to continue PUBG Esports globally by hosting PGI.S and 2 PUBG Continental Series events. We are now announcing the return of our beloved finale of PUBG Esports, the PUBG Global Championship 2021.

The PUBG Global Championship (PGC 2021) will be held this upcoming November. Like PGI.S earlier this year, PGC 2021 will be a LAN/Online hybrid tournament. Teams from outside of the tournament region will be invited to fly to Paradise City in Incheon, Korea.

Running from November 19th to December 19th, 32 of the finest teams from around the globe will be competing for a prize pool of over $2 Million USD. Again, PGC will have 30% of the profit earned from PGC items sales added directly to the prize pool so that teams will benefit from the fans’ support.

12 Teams from Asia, 8 teams from Europe, 6 teams from APAC, and 6 teams from the Americas region will be invited. The exact list of participating teams will be determined based on PGC Qualification Points gathered throughout the year once PCS5 concludes.


PGC 2021 will consist of a 5-week long tournament including 1 week of Rank Decision, 3 weeks of Weekly League, and a Grand Final during the last week.

RANK DECISION

• Preliminary Rank Decision matches will take place during the very first week to decide which 16 teams will start in the first Weekly Survival.

WEEKLY SURVIVAL

• 16 Weekly Survival matches will be played over 3 days during the week. Teams must win a Chicken Dinner to advance to the Weekly Finals.
• The remaining 15 teams from each lobby will be joined by the next team in line from the Bottom 16 waiting list.

WEEKLY FINAL

A total of 10 matches will be played over two days, and the best team will automatically earn a spot in the Grand Final.

• The winning team from each Weekly Final (3 teams total) will earn a spot in the Grand Final
• The top 9 teams with highest points accumulated across all 3 weeks of Weekly Finals will also advance to the Grand Final
• The remaining teams that did not advance to the Grand Final will participate in the Grand Survival. Teams who win a Chicken Dinner in each of the 4 matches in the Grand Survival will fill the remaining Grand Final spots.

GRAND FINAL

The 16 qualified teams will compete in a 15-match tournament over 3 days.

• The Grand Final standings based on SUPER Point Rule will determine the Grand Champion of PGC 2021.

PUBG Esports announced the adoption of a new scoring method with the MC Rule back in April which was applied to PCS4 and PCS5.

We sought to add more fun and excitement to the tournament and to promote the core identity of the Battle Royale genre, Survival. However, the rule change caused some unintended side effects. Matches became more monotonous, and teams suffered from the excess pressure to earn Chicken Dinners.

After collecting feedback from fans and through a deep discussion with PUBG teams around the world, we’ve made the following decision regarding the PUBG Esports scoring system.

WE HUMBLY WELCOME AND APPRECIATE FEEDBACK FROM THE FANS AND TEAMS.PUBG ESPORTS WILL READAPT THE SUPER POINT RULE STARTING WITH PGC 2021.

• As an exception, the Weekly Survival matches will feature WWCD format and not use SUPER Point Rule.
• All other matches will use the SUPER Point Rule and consider both placement points and kill points.
• The final rankings will be decided by SUPER Point Rule using both placement points and kill points.

The PUBG Esports team truly believes that it is most important to provide fun and exciting matches to the fans while providing a competitive, but also enjoyable, environment to the participating players. We will continue to accept and evaluate your feedback.

More details on PGC 2021 will be announced after PCS5.

PUBG Esports Team.

Hello Survivors!

The battle for the Blue Ball is back. PUBG presents to you LABS: Zone Tag Again! Since the first version of Zone Tag that was released this February was quite experimental for us as well, we've utilized our players' feedback thereafter and made some both big and small changes that would hopefully suit your tastes.

Let's now take a look at those changes.



HEALTH REGENERATION

• To make things fairer, all players can now regenerate health based on their movement speed (also works inside vehicles). The faster you move, the more health you regenerate per second.

OVERALL LOOT

• We’ve increased the overall amount of loot as we noticed that players were not able to find enough loot within phases of the game.
• We also removed boost items as everyone can regenerate HP based on movement speed.

THE ANCHOR

• An Anchor will spawn if the Carrier stays in one area for too long.
• The area radius of the Anchor gets larger with every circle phase.
• The Blue Ball will get detached if the Carrier does not move away from the Anchor.

BOATS AND AQUARAILS

• Boats and Aquarails will spawn.
• The Carrier however cannot enter water, nor use boats or Aquarails.

For more details on the general rules of Zone Tag, check out our previous announcement.

Hello, Survivors
https://youtu.be/vfe8dJEiYR0



In this update, we are adding the fan-favorite P90 SMG to Care Packages. The P90 is our first Care Package SMG since the original Tommy Gun, and as such, we made sure it is a worthy addition. It comes loaded with its own unique 5.7mm High Powered ammo, which is capable of longer-range combat, unlike our other SMGs. It also comes with a Cheek Pad, Handguard, Laser, and Silencer pre-attached and non-detachable.

It also features dual optics that allow for fast switching between close-range and medium-range combat. Use the Holographic Sight for nearby foes and Flip on the Flipsight for added magnification when they make a run for it.

It comes paired with 250 rounds of 5.7mm ammo in the Care Package. A single magazine holds up to 50 rounds which you (and your foes) can see deplete live as you're firing due to the magazine's translucent design. With the translucent magazine keeping you aware of the high Rate of Fire and the Laser helping you keep track of your targets, the P90 is a solid addition to your loadout.

• Spawns on all maps
• Equipped with all attachments right out of the crate
  • Silencer
  • Laser
  • 50 round magazine
  • Non-detachable small low profile sight with some magnification
• Ammo type
  • 5.7mm
• Damage: 35
• Most Effective Distance Range: 200m-300m
• Rate of Fire: 1,000 RPM

Introducing the new pickup truck, Porter, exclusive on Taego! The Porter is Hyundai Motor Company's representative commercial truck, which was first introduced in 1977. Since then it has been carrying a lot of loads based on its solid basics and excellent durability. It is the only vehicle on PUBG available with the Trunk System, a new feature to be introduced below. Porter is a truck capable of carrying large loads and up to four passengers at the same time. Get your chicken dinner with the use of Porter which can easily run on any types of terrain with the support of the permanent four-wheel system!

• Drivetrain: All-Whee Drive
• Maximum number of passengers: Four
• Trunk System is available and the capacity is 400
• Maximum Speed: 130 km/h
• HP: 1,200 
• Porter replaces the UAZ

With the Trunk System, you can maximize the acquisition of items for victory on Taego. Use the compartment of the Porter to load various items and take them out when needed. If the vehicle gets blown up, all the items in the compartment will also be destroyed. If you desire to keep your items safe, make sure your vehicle is safe!

• Any item that can be placed in your inventory and weapons, helmets, vests, backpacks can be loaded into the Trunk.
  • However, due to the weight of weapons, helmets, vests, and bags, it may not be possible to load large quantities.
• Only available on Taego with Porter vehicles.
• The Trunk system can be accessed with the interaction key when not onboard. When onboard, it can be accessed by opening the inventory. 
• All items in the compartment will be lost if the vehicle is destroyed. 
• The compartment of the vehicle does not belong to one person. Anyone can load and take out items. 
• Item weight depending on their types are as follows.
  • When a weapon with attachments is placed in the trunk, attachment weight is added and loaded into the trunk with attachments attached.

Introducing the Blue Zone Grenade! This throwable item can be used effectively if you want to deal damage in a broader area for a certain period of time. Especially in situations where you want to lure enemies out of a building. The Blue Zone Grenade creates a round blue zone with a maximum radius of ten meters, lasting for five seconds. It maintains its full size for five seconds, then decreases and disappears over another 5 seconds.

• The blue zone gets as big as ten meters in radius and lasts for five seconds.
• It remains in its full size for five seconds and then shrinks and disappears for another five seconds.
• It does not explode underwater.
  • But, when activated near water, it gives damage to players inside the water.
• Damage: 10/second
• If you are already in the Blue Zone and are in range of an additional Blue Zone Grenade, additional damage will be applied.
  • Blue Zone + Blue Zone Grenade = Both damages apply
  • Blue Zone Grenade + Blue Zone Grenade = Both damages apply

To maximize the experience on Taego, we are adding the following weather options to Taego. They will be randomly applied. 

• Sunset
• Overcast

Based on community feedback, we decided that the first phase of the Taego Blue Zone was a bit long. Therefore, we have reduced the duration of the first phase to provide a smoother Taego play experience. Enjoy more dramatic Taego through quicker farming!
Since the introduction of Comeback BR, we have received a lot of feedback about how it could get boring. Therefore, we have made the following changes to encourage fast-paced Comeback BRs. 

• Blue Zone Changes
  • Now the Bluezone will shrink even more
• Timeline changes
  • The total time of the Comeback BR has been reduced
  • Players can return to the battlegrounds when the phase two Bluezone starts to shrink

The Taego minimap has been updated to make it easier to identify by making the outline of the unplayable area a bit darker.

• Rule Tab 
  • Added new weather
  • Added Comeback BR on/off option
  • Changed the blue zone value
  • Removed the Red Zone setting
• Spawn Tab Items
  • Blue Zone Grenade

We have updated the Join Team feature where PUBG Friends can now join teams without invitations! The difference between this and the Team Invite feature is that this doesn't require "accept" from the team. This significantly reduces the waiting time as players will not need to wait for the team leader and team members for match-making. 

• Join Team feature can be turned on/off from the Settings.

• DM Spam Blocker
  • If an abnormal number of DMs are sent in a short period of time, DM feature will temporarily be restricted. 
    • If 40 DMs are sent within a minute, it will be restricted for 30 seconds.
    • This applies both during matches and when in the lobby.
  • Chat and connection alert messages received during a match will be sent to the lobby.
    • Messages received during a match can be read in the lobby after the match ends.

• BLACKPINK collaboration elements have been removed.
• Improved bots are spawned on Karakin.

Since the release of the Lynx AMR, low ammo capacity combined with the inability of players to access additional ammunition has limited the overall usefulness of the weapon. To make the Lynx AMR widely used in the battlegrounds, we have increased the ammo capacity.

• Increased ammo capacity from 5 to 10.

Esports tab is added. Below updates are applied.

• Removed TEAMS
  • Added PUBGESPORTS.COM's teams and players information.

Krafton Inc. is expanding its world with new games and experiences, and we would like to extend this new expanding world to our players. We are very excited to introduce to you Krafton ID, our integrated account system for Krafton games and services.

Registering for your Krafton ID grants you access to information about Krafton games as well as an added benefit of security for your game identity. We are currently developing perks, giveaways and more exclusively for Krafton ID account holders. 

Good news if you’re a PUBG Account holder, you are already registered for a Krafton ID! All you have to do is log in using your PUBG Account information. The PUBG Account program has been folded in Krafton ID.  
We will be launching the new Krafton ID program on September 8, 2021 (EST)!

1. What is Krafton ID?
   • Krafton ID is an integrated account system shared by games Krafton Inc. publishes. As of now, PUBG is the only game that uses Krafton ID, but there are existing and new games with a plan to use Krafton ID in the future.
   • Krafton ID will live in http://accounts.krafton.com/, a brand new website that will provide all accounts-related services for Krafton game players.
   • Players can link various game platforms and online services with their Krafton ID to enjoy promotional partnerships and drops.
   • Krafton ID will be used to power security features that better protect player&apos;s valuable private information.
2. What happens to my PUBG Account?
   • If you already have a PUBG Account, it will automatically be converted to Krafton ID. You will be able to log into Krafton ID with the same email address and password that you used for PUBG Account.
   • All of the rewards you received through PUBG Account will remain unchanged. 
3. Do I need to take any action regarding my PUBG Account?
   • No. Your PUBG Account will be converted to Krafton ID automatically without a need for you to take an action.
4. Is my personal information being transferred?
   • There will be no transfer of your personal or game data. Any information linked to your old PUBG Account will be stored and managed by the same entity within Krafton.
5. What difference does this change make?
   • The purpose of this rebranding is to provide a place where any Krafton game user can come for account and security services to play the games. 
   • This change will also unlock opportunities for Krafton to devise and provide creative promotional programs and perks to enrich player experiences for existing and future Krafton games.
   • Krafton ID will evolve to be a critical piece of our service including cross-game features that allow Krafton to provide a more versatile and flexible player experience.

We are excited about this change that will unlock the potential of what an accounts system can power--from promotions to cross-title services. See you at http://accounts.krafton.com/ soon!

The PUBG Team.
