PUBG: Battlegrounds Team

Hello, PUBG Esports fans.

The 2021 PUBG GLOBAL CHAMPIONSHIP draws near! Teams from around the world are already en route to Korea for the November 19th showdown, so it's time to disclose a bit more about the tournament and teams you can expect to see! 

PGC 2021 will be a LAN/Online hybrid tournament similar to how PGI.S was run.

• In PGC 2021, 5 teams from CHINA will participate on-line.
• All other teams will be invited to participate in-person in Korea.

Ideally, we'd love all teams to be together for this tournament, but unfortunately some visa issues have prevented that this year. So this year, all Chinese teams will play together in their own arena, while the rest of the teams play together in Korea.

Both PGC arenas in Korea and China will be equipped with identical gaming setups to guarantee that teams have an equal environment to compete. In addition, both arenas will be supervised by PUBG Esports referees to ensure a fair and transparent tournament.

All teams who qualified for PGC 2021 and are traveling to Korea and will be safely quarantined, following national quarantine guidelines. They will remain in the isolation facility for the next two weeks until the tournament begins.

• Unfortunately, team Unicorn Phoenix Da Nang from APAC region will not be able to participate in PGC 2021 due to difficulties in acquiring a visa.
  • UNP's ticket to participate in PGC 2021 has been transferred to the Vietnam team next in line, GAMEHOME Ha Dong.

Some participating teams have had a name change.

• ASIA
  • (previously) Veronica7 → (now) GNL_ESPORTS
• EUROPE
  • (previously) Question Mark → (now) Team Unique
• AMERICA
  • (previously) FIUMBA - > (now) KPI Gaming

Teams participating in PGC 2021 are able to acquire additional 'Reserve Players' through the following rules. 

• Based on the player roaster submitted during PCS5, teams with 4 or less players are able to register a maximum of 1 additional player as a 'Reserve Player'
  • Reserve Players cannot replace the empty player slot of those who have failed to acquire a visa.
• The Reserve Player is a substitute player for emergencies. Reserve players can only be utilized if an existing player is unable to participate in the match
• These cases may include;
  • If a player is confirmed COVID-19 positive and needs to be isolated.
  • If a player suffers from a physical injury making them unable to participate
  • If officials rule that another reason is severe enough to warrant the swap

Newly registered reserve players for PGC 2021:

• ASIA
  • PeRo_grayyyyyy / KX_AzEeeeee

Hello, Survivors.

• Fixed the 'cancel' error message that pops up during matchmaking.
  
• Fixed the issue of a player's weapon getting holstered after player gets off a vehicle after using healing/boosting item in the driver's seat.
  
• Fixed the audio issue of an observer being able to hear gun shots from a player who isn't shooting.
  
• Fixed the issue of the sentence on the bottom of the Ranked mode results screen being cut off after the game language is set to English.
  
• Fixed the issue of the Night Hunter Mask's color looking different from the Store's banner image color.
  
• The issue where the Self-AED disappears instantly when it is used immediately after coming out of the water in DBNO conditions when teammate(s) is alive.
  
• The issue where if you use Self-AED on the ground after being downed while swimming, you get killed instantly when there are no teammates.

New Weapon: M79 can be found, not only in Taego but across all eight maps.

The new Taego weapon Mortar is easy to use in combat situations, but it can take a lot of practice to achieve reasonable accuracy. First, you must calculate the distance to the target and the expected movement path, so calculate carefully. Once you get used to it, it can be helpful to attack behind ridges where grenades can’t reach or when defending specific areas. Also, it can be effective when destroying the trunk of a vehicle. In particular, you can use various strategies in cooperative play, so be sure to use them in battle!

• Once looted, it takes up a primary slot.
• Deployment
  • It can only be deployed on flat surfaces.
    • It cannot be deployed on cement, iron, concrete, water, or wooden floors, or inside buildings.
    • Left-click to deploy the Mortar.
    • Press the “F” key to cancel deployment.
  • Requires three seconds for deployment.
• Firing
  • The character crouches automatically once the firing mode gets activated.
  • The character cannot move until the firing mode gets released.
  • Player must have ammo in the inventory to fire.
  • There is a one-second delay between fires.
• Modes
  • Normal Match
  • Custom Match
  • Custom Match Sandbox Mode
  • Not included in Ranked Season 14
• Spawn 
  • Mortar and ammo both spawn inside buildings.
    • Does not spawn in Supply Crates or Secret Rooms.
• It can shoot between 121m to 700m in distance.

Controls

• Our new M79 is a smoke grenade launcher that was created to provide quick smoke cover on longer ranges. Blind your enemies, cover your downed teammate or make a grand escape from a losing battle!

To improve the survivability of players inside water, we are now supporting DBNO Swimming. Previously a player who enters DBNO while in the water would skip DBNO and instantly die. This made any deep water a hazardous area to traverse. Now a player will instead enter Swimming DBNO, a slow swimming state which gives the player a chance to reach the shore and be revived by teammates. Hopefully, you’ll feel more confident next time you get into a Boat or swim across that river!

• DBNO Players can swim for at half of the normal speed.
• The air a player has in their lungs is not reset when entering DBNO, so a player who was drowning will continue to drown in DBNO.
• In DBNO a player is constantly losing HP. combined with drowning HP loss this means that a DBNO player will die within 10 seconds underwater.
• Reviving underwater is impossible, and any ongoing revive is canceled when either player goes underwater or moves around too much.
• It is possible to revive a swimming DBNO player while floating on the water.

• We are proud to introduce the Chicken, a new creature that will hopefully amuse many players during fierce combats in Taego! “Chicken? Why the heck?” you might wonder. The answer to this question is left to your imaginations.
  
  • Three different conditions apply:
    • Calm
      • This is the default state and, at the same time, the most stable emotional state. Calm as a monk, and nothing special.
    • Fear
      • The Chickens fly, not, run for their lives in the following situations.
        • When hearing
          • Punching
          • Footsteps (except prone sound)
          • Gunshots
          • Engine and exhaust sounds
          • Other creatures die
    • Death
      • Sadly, there’s an end to everything. Taego’s amuser also passes away once hit. They take damages from guns and grenades, then turn into fried chicken upon death. Sorry, a bad joke, they go to where we all go.

Five new Taego areas have been added to the Team Deathmatch preset in Custom Matches.

• Palace
• Field
• Market
• Mountain
• Shipyard

Improvements have been made to Team Deathmatch Taego areas.

• Market
  • The initial spawn points for both teams have been changed from left/right to top/bottom.
  • The number of spawn points that lead to the roof has been reduced.
• Mountain
  • The number of spawn points on the bottom left of the area has been reduced.
  • The distance between the remaining spawn points has been adjusted to within 30m.

Based on community feedback, we have adjusted the Taego and Paramo rulesets and spawn tables to better suit the Ranked play experience.

• Taego
  •  
  • Adjusted the Blue Zone to better fit the 8km size map.
  • The following features will not be supported:
    • Emergency Landing
    • Emergency Pickup
    • Comeback BR
    • Secret Room
    • Error Space
  • The following items will not be supported:
    • Emergency Pickup
    • Self-AED
    • Secret Room Key
    • M79
    • Mortar
    • C4
    • Blue Zone Grenade
    • Spike Trap
• Paramo
  • The size of each Blue Zone phase has been reduced and the moving speed has been increased. Therefore, the total playtime has been reduced to 18 minutes from the previous 21 minutes.
  • More items are spawned.
  • The following features will not be supported:
    • Secret Room Key
    • Panzerfaust
    • 8x Scope

• The Esports menu has been updated for PUBG Global Championship 2021.

    • Shows tournament’s live stream and schedule.
    • Explains tournament structure.
    • Explains the Pick’em Challenge and live streaming event.
  • Standings Tab
    • Shows team ranking for each match.

• The previous in-game Halloween theme has been removed and replaced by the PGC 2021 theme for Normal, Custom, and Ranked Matches. The theme will be applied to the following:
  • Main lobby
  • Plane banner
  • Erangel/Miramar live streaming billboard
  • Erangel/Miramar/Vikendi building graffiti

KRAFTON ID IN PUBG LOBBY (READ MORE ABOUT KRAFTON ID)

• We will add a button to the Profile Overview page to link your PUBG account and Krafton ID.
  
• With the update, the PUBG account can be linked directly with Krafton ID from the lobby.

PROFILE OVERVIEW

Previously, the Career page was used as the profile screen. It was difficult for players to recognize their status at a glance, and it was also challenging to identify which player they were when viewing other players’ profiles. That’s why we want to provide you with a profile overview where you can see at a glance the current state of yourself and other players. Here, you can show off your fashion sense and skin!

• You can check the summary of your current season stats in “Career” → “Overview”.
  
• You can check the last played match mode, team mode, and season summary information at the time of the current season.
  
• Current survival level, last killed weapon mastery information, and last obtained medal information is displayed.
  
• The summary of the player’s season stats will be visible in other players’ profiles.
  
• Previous records, adding friends, and inviting teams are possible in the same way as in the previous record profile.
  
• You can edit emblems, nameplates, character poses, and medals.
  
• It may take some time after a match for the stats to be reflected.

DYNAMIC BLUE ZONE MESSAGE

• The Dynamic Blue Zone function operates according to the number of survivors per phase in certain maps. A guiding message will be displayed so that players can be aware of it.
  • Maps: Sanhok, Karakin
  • Dynamic Bluezone Activation Conditions
    • 2nd Phase: Activated when there are less than 30 survivors
    • 3rd Phase: Activated when there are less than 18 survivors
    • 4th Phase: Activated when there are less than 10 survivors
    • 5th Phase: Activated when there are less than 3 survivors
    • 6th Phase: Activated when there are less than 3 survivors
  • The following message will be displayed
    • The Blue Zone delay has been reduced because of the decreased survivor count.

PARAMO MINIMAP IMPROVEMENT ON UNPLAYABLE AREAS

• Improved the display of the minimap to better understand unplayable areas on the Paramo map.

• Improved the quality in dark areas by reflecting HBAO+ in DirectX 12 options.

• Changed the navigation path of the Move button on the pop-up window when a Nameplate is purchased.
  • The body message of the pop-up window has been changed accordingly.
• The main image for single items will now be shown as well.
• Purchased items will now be sent to the very end of the catalog.
  • However, items that can be repurchased will not be moved.
• A wall background has been added to Spray item previews.

Hello Survivors!

With only a few weeks before the ancient ghost-chasing Celtic festival of Samhain - yes, Halloween - we want to drop a little surprise into your candy pockets. First of all... do you remember Fantasy Battle Royale? Fantasy Battle Royale was first released as an experimental "prank" mode for April Fools' Day, but the popularity of the mode was so explosive that the service was extended for another week!

So for this Halloween, we've decided to resurrect last year's Fantasy Battle Royale from its legendary ruins and polish it into a spookier version and name: PUBG LABS is back with Halloween Battle Royale!

Are you ready to charge into the spine-chilling Battlegrounds?



Players will be asked to transform into their preferable class, aboard the Ghost Ship (yup, not a plane!), jump down into Erangel's darkness, and fight to be the last one standing. Pretty easy, huh? It's the same old battle royale but you're all simply placed in a fantastical setting. Let's now take a look at Halloween Battle Royale's basic rules and features.

• Players can enter Halloween Battle Royale mode by pressing the LABS banner in the main lobby.
• Once matchmaking is done, a window will pop up where players can choose to be either an Executioner, Ranger, Pyromancer, or Cleric.
  • Players will have time to choose their class in the pre-game lobby; they can also bring the class window back up by pressing F8 for PC or X for Console.
• The first circle will be shown on the map once players hop on the Ghost Ship.
  • At the same time, players will be equipped with their respective class's Level 1 weapon, ring, and necklace.
• Players will have to loot ingredients to upgrade their weapons.
• Fight foes with your class skills, show great teamwork with your squad, and win Halloween Battle Royale.

Now's the time to introduce the four different classes: Executioner, Ranger, Pyromancer, or Cleric. Since there are no limits to the number of a certain class in a single squad, teammates should get tactical and put their heads together to think about what combination they could come up with.

However, keep in mind that each class requires its own exclusive ingredients to grow stronger! Therefore, it would be efficient to share loot among different classes, but it's obviously not the best to share the loot you would need if your squad is made up of four Executioners.

Another important note: once players upgrade their Level 1 weapons to Level 2, they can choose between two different types of weapons. Each weapon has different skills so make sure to craft and wield wisely! But do not fear; players can switch between the two weapons in every upgrade stage.


"I'm here for the SLAUGHTERFEST!"

An Executioner is your classic melee warrior that can chase down or pull enemies in for brutal combat.

• Default Weapon: Axe of Swiftness
  • Executioners can dash towards enemies.
• Alternate Weapon (Craftable from Level 2): Halberd of Restraint
  • Executioners can pull in enemies within a certain area.

Executioners also generate class-exclusive items throughout the game.

• Stun Ball: Stuns enemies for 2 seconds.
• Liquid Courage: Enhances moving speed and boosts HP for a certain amount of time.

"Always stay alert. I might come for you from atop the trees, the thickest undergrowth, or from right behind you."

A Ranger can either become a sniper who deals damage from afar or a stealthy assassin that dives in for a sneak attack.

• Default Weapon: Fatal Crossbow
  
  • Powerful long-range weapon.
• Alternate Weapon (Craftable from Level 2): Blade of Invisibility
  • Short-ranged melee weapon that allows Rangers to turn invisible for a certain amount of time.
  • Attacking enemies from behind or during an invisible state will apply more damage.

Rangers also generate class-exclusive items throughout the game.

• Snare Trap: Rangers can set up traps and root enemies for 5 seconds.
• Stun Grenade: The same old stun grenade.

"Aah... the smell of burning flesh."

A Pyromancer specializes in assaulting multiple enemies at once with deadly fire.

• Default Weapon: Gloves of Calamity
  
  • Allows Pyromancers to attack with Fireballs.
    
  • Deals great damage but is difficult to wield.
• Alternate Weapon (Craftable from Level 2): Hellfire Cannon
  • Can fire infinitely.
  • May overheat and be unusable for a certain amount of time if continuously used.

Pyromancers also cast spells throughout the game.

• Firewall: Generates large firewalls to block the enemy's path.
  
• Meteor Shower: Generates powerful meteors. This can only be activated when the Pyromancer's necklace is Level 3 or above.

"I'm not a nice doctor; BLEED to HEAL!"

A Cleric is an aggressive healer that can lock in melee combat.

• Default Weapon: Mace of Suffering and Aegis of Light
  
  • The Mace of Suffering is a melee weapon that causes enemies to bleed for a certain amount of time.
    
  • Using the Mace of Suffering on teammates will restore their HP.
    
  • The Aegis of Light blocks crossbow attacks.
• Alternate Weapon (Craftable from Level 2): Triage Shotgun
  
  • Shooting teammates will restore their HP.
    
  • Shooting enemies will debuff them and cause slight damage.

Clerics also generate class-exclusive items throughout the game.

• Vitality Bomb: Restores HP.
  
• First Aid Kit: Healing item that can be shared with teammates.

• Halloween Battle Royale has its own set of items spawned throughout the map, so players won't be finding any weapons, ammo, throwables, boosts, or equipment.
  
  • However, bandages will spawn.
    
  • The items that players will find will mostly be ingredients to upgrade weapons, rings, and necklaces.
• Each class-specific weapon, ring, and necklace given to the players at the beginning cannot be dropped or traded.

• Players can open the crafting window by pressing Tab.
  
• The looted ingredients are used to upgrade players' weapons, ring, and necklace.
  
• Players can right-click to upgrade craftable items (which will glow up).
  
• Since each class has two weapons, players will be shown two weapon-crafting routes.
  
  • Each class's Level 1 weapon is set as default but starting from Level 2, players can choose to craft to either of the two weapons (Ex. Players can craft a Executioner's Level 1 Axe to Level 2 Axe OR Level 2 Halberd).

Treasure falling from the sky! The care packages will be looking like Treasure Chests in Halloween Battle Royale.

• Treasure Chests contain general and Level 5 crafting ingredients.
  
• Dropped Treasure Chests will be marked on the map.
  
• Players will have to damage the Treasure Chest to open it.
  
• The squad that successfully opens and interacts with the Treasure Chest is given an invincibility buff for 10 seconds.

• Instead of normal vehicles and planes, Halloween Battle Royale will only have the "Night Slayer" UAZ and Ghost Ships.
  
• Vehicles' speed and HP were nerfed in this mode to prompt more dynamic gameplay.

PUBG LABS: Halloween Battle Royale will be open during the following period:

PC & Console

• PDT: October 19, 10 PM - November 1, 12 AM
  
• CEST/CET: October 20, 7 AM - November 1, 8 AM

• Map: Erangel
  
• TPP Only
  
• 20 Squads of 4 (Max. 80 players per match)
  
• Halloween Battle Royale only supports 4-Man Squads
  
  • It will automatically find teammates for you if you're not a full squad

• LABS games do not provide XP or gameplay rewards
  
• LABS gameplay will not be reflected on the Career page
  
• LABS gameplay will not be reflected on Match History
  
• LABS gameplay will not count towards Survivor Pass missions
  
• LABS gameplay does not support replay

We hope you have the best Halloween with LABS: Halloween Battle Royale!

See you on the Battlegrounds.

Hello Survivors!

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 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.

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.

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.
