The wait is over. Our 9th new map we’ve been teasing about all this time is finally here this update. Welcome to the 8x8km near-future and ravaged world: Deston!

Deston (formerly known as “Codename: Kiki”) presents you diverse biomes – a flooded downtown embracing one of the tallest skyscrapers you’ve ever seen in PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS, a murky swamp, clear coasts, beautiful mountains, and unexplored islands.

Check out our Deston website here to go on a VR map tour(July 13th UTC) and delve more into the unknown before its live server release.

• Deston is…
  • Available as a Featured Map.
  • Playable in TPP and FPP.
    • Solo, Duos, Squads (including 1-Man Squads) available.
    • Available modes may vary per region.
  • Available in Custom Matches and Sandbox Mode (PC).
• Bots may spawn in Deston.
• Available vehicles: Pickup, Dacia, Coupe RB, Motorbike, Dirt Bike, Roadster Motorcycle, Quad, Buggy, Boat, Aquarail, and Airboat.
• The Flare Gun, DP-28, S12K, G36C, QBU, QBZ, K2, Sticky Bomb, Mortar, Lynx AMR, 15x Scope will not spawn in Deston.
• A few points of interest
  • Ripton: The overflow of water has submerged this sprawling city… players will have to wade through shallow water to pass through while always having to be on the alert for enemies lurking at the highest levels of surrounding skyscrapers. Here, you can travel seamlessly from the ground to the sky and back down again with tall buildings! But to prevent snipers from being too advantageous, we’ve made sure not every building here is accessible. (ex. Some buildings may only have a single floor accessible.)

• Swamp: Take a stroll through some trees, grass, and houses built along the water and enjoy a suspenseful cat and mouse with your enemies knee-deep in water!

• Concert: An outdoor concert festival grounds where you’re free to strut some dance moves before heading out to fight for that Chicken Dinner.

• Hydroelectric Dam: This area was once used as one of the green methods for generating power in Deston.
• Assembly: Observe how wind turbines are made here at the Assembly!
• Arena: Don’t let all the entertainment at this paintball arena distract you too much from your main purpose.

PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS has a variety of special items that can be looted and consumed to create interesting gameplay.

Therefore, to prompt even more diversified plays, we are introducing players who enter Deston to the new Map Utility Items. These items will trigger special in-game interactions depending on the situation, which are expected to provide a new core game flow without breaking player immersion.

• Map Utility Items…
  • Will be placed in your Inventory once you enter Deston.
  • Will not be consumed on use and may be used as many times as you wish.
  • Will not affect Inventory weight.
  • Can not be dropped from the Inventory.
  • Can not be swapped with other Inventory items.
  • Will occupy their own Inventory slot.
• Available Map Utility Items
  • Ascender Attachment
    • Allows you to use any Ascender as often as they want.
  • Utility Parachute
    • Looks exactly like the Emergency Parachute.
    • Can be activated by pressing the Interaction key after jumping off a certain height.
• Keys

Are you going to climb those towering skyscrapers on foot?

Nope! Travel the flashy and fastest way on vertical spaces with the new Ascenders!Use the Ascenders to create some Mission Impossible moments while getting your hands on some loot at the top!

• Ascenders are spread throughout the map as ropes attached to objects that allow vertical traversal.
  • Both ends of the Ascender are accessible any time.
• With an Ascender, you can swiftly descend from the highest rooftop with no risk of fall damage.
• You can not use an Ascender when another player is currently using the same one.
• You are unable to loot items from the ground when you’re on an Ascender.
• Once mounted on an Ascender:
  • You can move up and down the rope using movement keys.  
    • Using the Sprint key while moving down (only) will increase the speed of descent.
  • You can dismount from the Ascender at any point.
    • If you dismount at the top of the rope, you will teleport to the spot on the building near the top.
    • Otherwise, you will let go and fall.
  • You can still be shot and killed on an Ascender.
    • You will detach from the Ascender and fall to the ground.
• Ropes can be found inside and outside structures.
  • Ropes are static objects that don’t have movement.
  • Ropes can be found on varying heights based on the structure.
• 
  Cell Towers

• Cell Towers are very tall and thin Ascender-focused buildings. 
• These towers allow you to ride an Ascender from the ground level up to a very high position in one, long ascent.
• Ascending and descending on a Cell Tower provides a faster traveling speed compared to regular Ascenders.
• When you press the Interaction key at the top of the tower, you will be flung into the air in the direction you’re facing.
• Shortly after being flung into the air, your Utility Parachute will automatically deploy, allowing you to safely glide a long distance.
• Ascending a Cell Tower and traveling with your Utility Parachute will help you reach your destination faster than traveling on foot!

We have also created spaces in Deston that are only accessible by Drones. We hope to create additional opportunities for Drone use and variety to your looting experience. Are you capable of finding all these spots?





Discover new ways to roam Deston with the new Security Doors! Pick up Security Keys, unlock Security Doors, and pick up high-tier items at your own risk.

• Security Doors are located throughout buildings in Deston.
• Security Keys will…
  • World spawn around the map.
  • Stack in your Inventory.
• Security Keys are consumable items and will be removed after single use.
• Security Doors can be grouped together so that one Security Key can unlock the entire group.
• Security Doors can not be closed nor relocked.
  • Therefore, the open doors will be a hint to other players that you’ve been (or still are) at this area.
• Available modes
  • Only available in Deston.
  • Normal Matches, Custom Matches, Sandbox Mode (PC)
    • Unavailable in Custom Match – Esports Mode.

As you and your vehicle chase down an enemy, you realize you’re almost out of gas… when you notice out of the corner of your eye a Fuel Pump!

Stop by the Fuel Pump to refuel your vehicles, or why not make it explode to finish off your enemies?

• Fuel Pumps will be located throughout Deston.
• Only the driver riding the vehicle can press the Interaction key to refuel the vehicle.
  • You are required to press the Interaction key for 1 second.
  • The vehicle much be at a full stop to refuel.
  • The use radius is 5m.
  • If the vehicle moves or the driver changes seats during refuel, the refuel will cancel.
  • The driver can repress the Interaction key to cancel fueling.
  • Vehicles must be missing a minimum amount of fuel before they can use the Fuel Pump.
• There is no limit to using Fuel Pumps.
• Fuel Pumps have a health value.
  • They can receive damage and be destroyed, which creates a large explosion and damages all players around it.
  • After receiving damage, Fuel Pumps will spark and begin leaking gas, exploding after a few seconds. Additional damage dealt to the Fuel Pump will cause it to explode sooner.
  • When a Fuel Pump’s health falls below a certain value, it will begin taking damage over time until it completely runs out of health.
  • Destroyed Fuel Pumps can not be used.
• Available modes
  • Only available in Deston.
  • Normal Matches, Custom Matches, Sandbox Mode (PC)
    • Unavailable in Custom Match – Esports Mode.
• Keys

Introducing the world’s fastest shotgun: O12.



Not only is the O12 a high-capacity weapon, but the potential lethality of each slug ammo combined with its sheer volume of fire will also make it feared in both close- and mid-range combat! Its relatively long range than any other shotgun will make the O12 a worthwhile choice for every player.

• The O12 will world spawn in Deston.
• Weapon slot: Primary weapon
• Ammo: 12 Gauge Slug
• Available modes
  • Only available in Deston.
  • Normal Matches, Custom Matches, Sandbox Mode (PC)
    • Unavailable in Custom Match – Esports Mode.

Need a speedy ride capable of traveling on both water and land? The Airboat will solve your worries of having to switch between different vehicles depending on the terrain.

• The Airboat…
  • Is very fast over bodies of water.
    • Can travel through shallow water, swamps, and open water. 
  • Can travel over land as well.
  • Faster than land vehicles in shallow water.
  • Carries up to 5 players.
• Available modes
  • Only available in Deston.
  • Normal Matches, Custom Matches, Sandbox Mode (PC)
    • Unavailable in Custom Match – Esports Mode.

To improve the Miramar play experience, we have improved inconveniences pointed out in the past, enhanced details of buildings and added an oasis to the minimap. 

• Improved Terrain
  • By improving the level of the terrain that caused inconvenience while driving, smoother driving is possible when driving a vehicle.
• Improved Buildings
  • The quality of small cottages and storage buildings have been improved inside and out. 
  • Due to high win rates, the billboard on San Martin’s roof has been removed. 

• Some house buildings have been improved in the outside. 
• A storage’s fences and layouts have been rearranged.
• Billboards have been installed over the map. 

• Oasis
  • The water depth comes at the character’s ankle height around the shore. At the center, it comes at the character’s waist level, so the character cannot be prone in the water. Also, the level of the terrain has been lowered around the oasis.  
  • The height of the mountain terrain has also been lowered to increase accessibility along with news roads to help access the Oasis area. 
  • The location name Oasis is added to the minimap.
  • Along with that, the Oasis has received a great improvement inside and out.
• Vehicle Spots are added.

• A vehicle spot is added near the Oasis. Certain vehicles’ spawning spots have been relocated.
• Three vehicle spots have been added near the roads of Chumacera.

Patch Notes - Update 18.2 - Continue

Hello players!

We're back with another Community Care Package and this time we’re going over some anti-cheat updates following our last dev letter.

PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS has seen a lot of changes over the last few months, including the return of original Sanhok, new weapons, Training Mode improvements, and perhaps most importantly, our transition to being free-to-play. The latter of these changes has also been a cause for concern among the playerbase, with many fearing that the influx of players contrasted by barrier to entry would mean more and more cheaters on the Battlegrounds.

Our Anti-Cheat Team has been fighting cheaters and cheat programs harder than ever since the free-to-play transition. Of course, we were also very aware that players were consistently experiencing unfair and illegal methods in-game.

These concerns are what we’d like to cover in today’s Care Package.

Current Status
As mentioned in our previous anti-cheat dev letter, we've made steady reinforcements to our proprietary anti-cheat solution "Zakynthos" to deal with cheaters tampering with the vulnerabilities in our client. As a result, we’ve seen no significant change to both Normal and Ranked match metrics as compared to the metrics before our free-to-play transition. In fact, we were able to see some improvements! However, even with these improvements after free-to-play, we know that you expect even more from us.



To that end, many other anti-cheat reinforcements are continuously being made and we continue to issue permanent bans to more than 200,000 cheat accounts on a monthly basis since free-to-play.

On top of that, we have upcoming plans on how to improve our anti-cheat methods further.

• Account Hacks

A significant number of reported cheaters in Ranked matches were discovered to be hacked accounts (cheaters using other players' accounts).

During the investigation process, we discovered that merely 2% of new accounts who received permanent bans after free-to-play were Plus accounts; approximately 61% were basic accounts; and approximately 33% were accounts created before the free-to-play shift.

Simply put, since basic accounts do not have access to Ranked matches, a majority of accounts reported to be cheating in Ranked were assumed to be created before free-to-play. It is currently difficult to extract the exact numbers, but it is reasonably presumed the major part of reported accounts were not used by the original account owners, but hacked and used to cheat by cheaters.

Therefore, to lessen further damage, we are working on improving our internal logic to recognize hacked accounts. Additionally, we are considering solutions to immediately block accounts suspected to be hacked. We'll share updates once notable achievements are made.

Please remember: Your account belongs to you and you only. Check out our PUBG Support page to learn how to protect your account from potential hacks and risks.

• Penalties on Account Sharing and Creating Multiple Accounts

As stated in the Reminder on Sharing Accounts post, the act of account sharing/rental goes against our Terms of Service. These actions lead up to permanent account bans and various penalties to be reinforced moving forward. We have also strengthened our countermeasures against illegal account rental sites that hand out mass numbers of generated accounts (an easy method to use cheat programs) by logging related account sharing tools and issuing penalties based on the extracted information.

Additionally, since free-to-play, we've noticed large quantities of accounts being created on identical hardware within a very short period of time with the accounts' nicknames following a certain pattern. An average of 2,000 accounts are being generated this way on a daily basis. These created accounts are then distributed to cheaters and are used for cheat program promotions, account rental services and various in-game abuse. Our Anti-Cheat Team has begun their initial countermeasures on these cases since April, and their actions will continue to stretch out further.

• Improving False Bans

The 1 Day Temporary Bans are issued based on players' reports and specific in-game data. We are continuing to sustain this ban system as it has proved to have detected many abnormal activities when we thoroughly examine banned accounts and their use of cheat programs during the temporary banned period. However, it is also true that innocent players receive unnecessary penalties due to inaccurate judgments. To alleviate these issues, our Anti-Cheat Team has implemented a new solution this May. We are consistently monitoring this solution's effects and will continue to update regular improvements to further reduce false bans.

• Zakynthos Reinforcements

Our proprietary anti-cheat solution Zakynthos is developing even at this moment in time through its machine learning techniques to detect cheat programs better and faster. As there is a limit to reactively countering cheat programs (especially unclear ones) through regular monitoring sessions, it is more important than ever to improve technology-wise.

• Making it Difficult for Cheat Developers and Cheaters

Fundamentally, to reduce the number of cheaters, we'd need to create an environment where it's difficult to develop and use cheat programs in the first place. Therefore, the Anti-Cheat Team will further reinforce countermeasures such as permanent account bans and hardware bans and make it hard for cheats that take advantage of in-game vulnerabilities by also adding various defense mechanisms. Our terms and policies will also be reinforced to stomp out the development and use of cheat programs especially in Ranked matches.

As per usual, we can’t go into detail about many of our tactics, but we do truly wish to share and communicate more frequently with you all, where possible. Sadly, the more in-depth info we give out, the more hints cheat developers and cheaters could pick up, so we continue to be cautious as to what we say.

Just know that every PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS team shares the same goal: to develop and maintain a fair gameplay experience for all. Our Anti-Cheat Team will relentlessly counter cheaters and do our best to have our reinforced solutions reassure players to enjoy a safer and trustworthy game.


Thank you.
