PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS - Sheepy


Grand touring will never be the same on a McLaren GT in PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS. The lightest and quickest accelerating grand tourer from the British automobile manufacturer McLaren Automotive will take you and your partner around the world in a fashionable manner.

Born in Surrey, England, the GT features a 4-liter V8 turbocharged engine behind the passenger seat for ideal weight distribution. Talking about weight, weighing at just over 1,400 kg dry, the GT is a joy to drive. It is a supercar for an everyday driver.

The beauty of GT doesn't end there. You can go to the Workshop to configure your one-and-only GT so that you can be the center of attention all day, every day. Choose from a variety of eleven stunning exterior colors, two sleek wheels, and five different colors of brake calipers on your GT's state-of-the-art carbon ceramic brakes.

So, McLaren GT is here in PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS. Go and make your own GT now!

Deston
You can expect a new vehicle, new weather feature, and several map optimizations for Deston this update!
New Vehicle: Food Truck
The friendly, jolly food truck is here at the Battlegrounds – but without its food supply. If a food truck pulls up in front of you, don’t expect any yummy goods – it means enemies are here to barrage unexpected bullets through the van’s open windows!

Animation Refresh
Remember our dev letter on the upcoming Animation Refresh? The update is finally here – our goal with this update is to enhance player experience by improving and refining PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS’ animation presentation while retaining existing timing and strategy.

The motions should feel different but familiar, and a lot of care and effort went into making sure no timings were changed in this process.
Weapon operation

  • A special focus on pacing and weight adds intensity and believability to an already immersive experience.
TPP Locomotion

  • Player move sets have been refreshed with the addition of starting and stopping motions.
  • This expanded player motion adds a realistic flavor to our characters, helping ground them in the world.
New Item: Heavy Stock
A new stock, Heavy Stock, is here with a heavier feel to provide a larger pool of weapon/attachment options and strategies.

The Random Crates you already possess in your Inventory before this update will not change to the updated rewards.
Training Mode
Many players weren’t aware that the Spawn Tool existed because a specific key had to be pressed to display the feature. Thus, we have applied the following improvements for better convenience. 
  • The Spawn Tool will now pop up automatically after you enter Training Mode.
  • Players will also have the option to choose from the last weapon and inventory preset they set up in their previous Training Mode session, a Beryl M762 preset, or a SKS preset.
    • These options are not available for the 1v1 Arena.
New Interaction Key: Limited Interact
As we regularly develop and release new features, we needed an additional, secondary interaction key apart from the F key (for PC) for simultaneous situations, such as when players interact with a specific feature for different purposes. Therefore, we’ve added a new Limited Interact keybinding that is to be used for many more upcoming feature interactions.
  • Limited Interact default keys

Weapon Skin Update

Contraband Crate
Before we introduce this update’s new weapon skins, we’d like to start out with a few words about our progressive weapon skin level system.

During the development of new progressive skins, we thoroughly think through how we should plan out progressive weapon skin levels. Questions and suggestions such as which skins would be the most appealing, which level would have players feel the greatest accomplishment, which rewards placed at which level would have players feel as if it’s worth the challenge, etc. are regularly brought together and eventually influence the final decision.

Therefore, you’ve all seen various level changes in previously released progressive weapon skins – we’ve of course been monitoring all your feedback and opinions on each update, and we will continue to keep those in mind when releasing even more various skins in the future.

This update’s new weapon skin – [PROGRESSIVE] Over the Rainbow – M24 – is to be released with the following rewards:

Lv. 1: BASIC SKIN COSMETICS

Lv. 2: MUZZLE / STOCK / MAGAZINE SKIN

Lv. 3: TOTAL KILLS BATTLESTAT

Lv. 4: UNCOMMON SKIN COSMETICS

Lv. 5: INSPECT WEAPON ANIMATION

Lv. 6: KILLFEED SKIN

Lv. 7: LOOT CRATE SKIN

Lv. 8: RARE SKIN COSMETICS

Lv. 9: SCOPE SKIN

Lv. 10: HEADSHOT KILLS BATTLESTAT

Deston
New Weapon: MP9




The P90 is a fully automatic SMG preferred by players in various situations. Still, it was only available through supply crates and was sometimes considered impractical because it used 5.7mm ammo. The MP9, on the other hand, spawns on the map and uses more popular 9mm ammo. Although it has a slightly lower effective range, fire rate, and damage than the P90, it is an excellent alternative for players who enjoy the P90’s playstyle.

  • Cannot use scopes bigger than a Red Dot Sight, Holographic Sight
  • Ammo: 9mm
  • Damage per shot: 31

So turn on the flashlight and the loud sirens, and quickly chase and catch the enemies running away from you! In addition, high-quality equipment can be found in the vehicle’s trunk, so if you see a Pillar Security Car nearby, hop in!

      • The Blue Chip Detector will make a beeping noise per screen update.

    • Whenever the screen updates, it scans 100m in radius around you for enemies and displays the location of up to 12 of the closest enemies as dots.
      • The Blue Chip Detector will make an additional, different beeping noise if it detects at least one enemy after a screen update.
        • Only the holder can hear this noise.

PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS - Sheepy


Hello Brothers and Survivors,

The largest multinational corporation entity - Abstergo Industries - of Assassin's Creed has established a temporary facility in Haven of PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS: so we want you, an Assassin of the Assassin Brotherhood, to find out what they're up to this time and prevent Abstergo's influence from spreading even further.

During the #19.1 update, it'll be your job to land on Haven, break into Abstergo Industries, and survive till the end through stealth exploration of the sector's silent depths. Several in-game Assassin costumes to help furtive actions are also available at the Store, so check them out before you head out.

Lastly, here's a few heads up on what you'll be facing once you dive down on Haven.

Haven: Abstergo Industries



On the plane to Haven, make sure to plan to land between Steel Mill and Residential to infiltrate Abstergo Industries.



One of the values of the Assassin Brotherhood may be to "stay your blade from the flesh of an innocent," but be aware that a single innocent being does not exist on the Battlegrounds.



How Long Will They Stay?

We've been told the temporary Abstergo Industries facility will take root in Haven for a certain period only. Make sure to accomplish all deeds before then.

During the event, Neymar’s squad will only be eligible to loot in the Lodge area of Deston. However, to give them a little compensation, we will allow the squad to select extra weapons that they desire.

All they have to do is let Neymar succeed in hitting particular targets with his ball in the studio before the match starts. If he does, the selected weapons will spawn in the Lodge area.

Other partners can only loot outside the Lodge area and are limited to using Melee weapons, Crossbows, or Pistols. On the other hand, Tactical Gear, boost, and heal items are free to use.

The Blue Zone will slowly tighten into the Lodge area. Can Neymar and his squad become king of the hill? There will be two rounds of the hill shooter battle. Watch to see who becomes king!

8-man Squad Classic Battle Royale – One Match 
We also have a match with the classic battle royale rules in plan. All players will be limited to level one gear to maximize the thrill. However, Neymar will be the only one to have access to level 3 gear and Self-AED.

To give our official partners an extra handicap, Neymar will kick the ball again in the studio. He’ll get the chance to decide which weapons other partners will use if he hits the target!
