Hello Survivors!

We hope you're all enjoying our BLACKPINK X PUBG: Battlegrounds collaboration - if you can recall our last month's BLACKPINK photo contest announcement, we promised our potential winners abundant rewards if the participants uploaded screenshots of themselves equipped with BLACKPINK items.

We expected this contest to be more competitive than our Esports matches since the winners would be receiving BLACKPINK merchandise! It was extremely difficult to pick out only 25 winners out of hundreds of talented participants, but since there are rewards waiting to be taken home, we will declare the lucky winners without further ado:
Congratulations!

The 25 winners above will be gifted 10,000 G-Coins to their accounts by October 1st, 2021 (UTC+0). A message will pop up in the Notifications center once the 10,000 G-Coins have been rewarded. Here are some more important information to note:

• Players will have to spend this reward within 30 days after receival. Please check the Notifications center for the exact expiration date.
• The 10,000 G-Coins will be added to the account's existing G-Coins. The reward amount will get depleted first whenever G-Coins are used.
• If a PUBG nickname the winner submitted is unable to be tracked, PUBG: Battlegrounds will be sending a separate DM to the winner's social media account.
  
  • Please keep in mind that it will be difficult to receive the reward if you don't reply back to us within 10 days.

But it doesn't end here; remember, we had announced that we were going to pick out the Best 6 from the 25 winners above. The Best 6 was chosen based on how well their works exemplified the entry requirements. Now shall we welcome the Best 6 and their entries?!







Congratulations to the Best 6! Every single one of you deserves it.



The Best 6 will also be receiving additional real-life prizes! The participant coming in First Place will be taking home a BLACKPINK-autographed helmet, BLACKPINK-autographed "THE ALBUM" CD, and a photo of one of the BLACKPINK members. The participants coming second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth place will each be rewarded a BLACKPINK-autographed "THE ALBUM" CD.

• PUBG: Battlegrounds will be sending a DM regarding the rewards to the six winners' social media accounts - personal information such as delivery address, schedule, etc. will be required.
• However, please keep in mind that you might be disqualified if you don't reply back to us within 10 days.

Finally, we want to thank both PUBG: Battlegrounds and BLACKPINK fans for their love and support throughout this collaboration. Please continue to participate in our upcoming events!

See you on the Battlegrounds.

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.

  • 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.

PUBG LABS: Zone Tag will be open during the following period.

• PC
  • PDT: September 8, 0 AM – September 13, 0 AM

  • CEST: September 16, 9 AM – September 20, 9 AM

• Erangel – Sunny
• FPP & Squad Only
  • One-Man Squads Not Supported
• Minimum number of players: 24 (PC/Console)
• Maximum number of players: 100 (PC/Console)

• LABS games do not provide XP or gameplay rewards
