Adjustments have been made for the AUG and Dragunov.

- Horizontal recoil increase: +4%
- Vertical recoil increase: +9.8%
- Recoil reduction while crouched: -16% → -13%

- RPM increase: 150 → 180
- Recoil recovery (aim stability after firing): +11%

Dev's comment: Back in Update 25.2, we aimed to foster a more balanced AR environment by tweaking the AUG's RPM. After monitoring the win-rate metrics post-update, we observed a minor drop in the AUG's win rate from 53.3% to 53.0% - however, this remained quite consistent with the figures prior to the RPM adjustment. Given the AUG's continuous dominance in the AR category (excluding Care Package weapons like the FAMAS and Groza) and its stats surpassing those of the Beryl M762, we saw a need for further adjustments.

Through this update, we've decided to intensify its recoil to reduce in-combat stability while preserving the AUG's distinctiveness. We've also modified the recoil reduction while in the crouched position, ensuring it doesn't provide an excessive advantage in specific scenarios.

The Dragunov, on the other hand, lagged behind other DMRs in terms of kill distribution and win rates. To enhance its usability, we've addressed the main concern our players have been mentioning - boosting the Dragunov's RPM and enhancing its recoil recovery to make it a more consistent and versatile weapon.

For an in-depth insight into the reasons behind these changes, we invite you to our next live PUBG Care Package, where our In-Game Unit Director plans to provide a comprehensive explanation. We'll also be addressing your queries in real-time during this session. For details on the live stream's agenda, date, rewards, and more, please refer to the PUBG Care Package - Episode 2 announcement.

In our ongoing commitment to provide a diverse gameplay experience that isn't monopolized by a single weapon choice, we value and invite your feedback.
To better assist with strategic planning, we've added the starting plane's flight route, that'll remain throughout the match, into both the world map and minimap.

- On the map screen, you can toggle the plane route on or off. A shortcut key guide for this feature has been added to the same screen.
- This update applies to every mode.

- The 2023 PUBG Global Championship-themed decorations have been added to maps.
- KFC restaurants have been removed from Erangel, making way for the return of gas stations. Please note that the Fuel Pump feature is not available in Erangel.



Introducing a new Team Deathmatch map: a hidden Pillar Compound near Deston is here to provide unique and diverse gunplay dynamics.
- The layout predominantly features a main building and side buildings.
- Several elevated areas, including most rooftops, are inaccessible.
- Ascenders are available.

Map selection probabilities have been readjusted in alignment with this update.


Enhanced Bluebomb Rush mode based on player feedback and key performance metrics.
- Markers/waypoints are now available to use on the map.
- Readjusted the defending team's starting position based on analysis showing their overly quick penetration to the central area.

ㅤㅤ- Added a grateful and apologetic message option and removed the Save your Coins and Charge options.
- Modifications to weapon attachments purchased from the store will now be saved, and these changes will be applied to subsequent purchases.
ㅤㅤ- Attachments added to empty slots will not be saved.
ㅤㅤ- Only attachments available in the attachment crate can be saved.
ㅤㅤ- For weapons equipped with magnification scopes, even if you switch to a non-magnified scope, the magnified scope will be sustained in the next purchase.
- Updated the selection and pricing of weapons in the shop:
ㅤㅤ- The SLR has been replaced by the Dragunov.
ㅤㅤ- The M249's price has been adjusted.
- Added a new "Impressive" in-game message that'll show up when you secure a victory in one-versus-many scenarios.
- Death icons are more translucent.
- On a player's death, the primary weapon they were using will be dropped on top of their death crate.
ㅤㅤ- If no primary weapon is available, the secondary weapon will be dropped.
ㅤㅤ- The duration of death crates has been significantly extended.
- Decreased the round waiting time from 30 seconds to 20 seconds.
- Footstep sounds have slightly increased. (The audible range remains unchanged.)

PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS Team

Survive the night, craft your fight.
Haven's once radiant skyline is now overshadowed by the monstrous aftermath of Tythonic's Blue Chip.

What were once clones for mass trials have turned into the insatiable Hungers, devouring both the island and its inhabitants.

You were enlisted to clean up this nightmare, and now, just four of you remain.

Scavenge, strategize, and work together to secure your escape and survival!



Welcome to Survivors Left Behind. Your main goal here is to outlast the relentless wave of Hungers and escape to safety. Follow these steps to ensure your survival:

- Navigate to Arcade.
- Select Survivors Left Behind and start matchmaking.
- Once you're in with your 4-man squad, vote for the stage you wish to play.
- The stage receiving the majority of votes will begin after a countdown.
- Each stage presents varying levels of difficulty.
ㅤㅤ- The difficulty increases from Docks/Industrial Park → Residential Zone A/Industrial Park Outskirts ㅤㅤㅤ→ Steel Mill/Residential Zone B.
ㅤㅤ- Use the materials obtained in each stage to take on the more challenging stages.



- Once the stage starts, obtain basic weapons by interacting with the vending machine.



- Guided missions will appear on your screen's left-side - these are pivotal for your squad's getaway. Ensure each task is accomplished.
- Navigate the stage by finding the correct route while combating the Hungers.



- Fuel the necessary Generators, power them up to unveil the exit, and make your way to safety.





Beware the Hungers, malevolent creatures thirsting for your lifeblood!

Here's a primer on some of the Hungers you may cross paths with:

- Prototype Hunger
- Caregiver Hunger
- Explosive Disposal Hunger
ㅤㅤ- Uses Grenades.
- Molotov Hunger
ㅤㅤ- Uses Molotovs.
- Red Zone Hunger
ㅤㅤ- Uses Blue Zone Grenades.
- Alpha Hunger
ㅤㅤ- Known for its sudden rushes from afar, this gigantic Hunger will collide into you, causing a knockback and leaving you stunned momentarily.
ㅤㅤ- Tip: If a teammate is stunned, interact with them to revive them quicker.
- Dr. Hunger
ㅤㅤ- Uses a purple chemical for its basic attack, inflicting damage akin to that of Molotovs.
ㅤㅤ- Can render certain Hungers invincible - you can only take them down by targeting Dr. Hunger directly. (Hint: Look for the end of the glowing tentacles connected to the invincible Hungers.)
- Nurse Hunger
ㅤㅤ- Possesses a harrowing scream attack, which can disorient players. If it affects you, you will have a shaky screen.
ㅤㅤ- Tip: If a squad member appears dizzy, interact to stabilize their vision.
- C4 Hunger
ㅤㅤ- Has the sinister skill to carry knocked out players, switching the attached C4 on to then self-detonate.



Facing the Hungers is only one of your challenges; you must also keep an eye on your hunger meter and the potential side effects if neglected.

As the stage progresses, your hunger meter will deplete. To maintain it, you must consume food.

Your hunger status will be visually represented below your health bar through color-coded indicators:

- Blue icon and gauge: Satiated
- Green: Peckish
- Orange: Starving
- Red: Depleted

Failing to address your hunger can result in a series of debilitating effects, which intensify as your hunger grows:
- Inability to sprint
- Trembling hands, impairing your aim
- Blurry vision

Cooperation is key. If a teammate is experiencing any of these conditions, interact with them to help.



Crafting is essential to escape the Hungers. Gather diverse crafting materials, use the Crafting Desk, and boost both your hunger meter and health.

While you can satiate your hunger with individual materials like cabbages, water, and cured pork, specially crafted meals offer a more substantial replenishment.

But sustenance isn't your sole crafting option. Craft items like healing items, throwables, anti-Hunger chemicals, and upgraded weapons.

Available crafting weapons are melee weapons, SMGs, and shotguns. Based on the targeted body part, shotguns carry a distinct probability to induce knockbacks or knock downs.

Regarding ammunition, each Hunger you defeat increases your stockpile.



Additionally, foster teamwork by sharing crafting materials with teammates. Simply drop materials on the ground for them to collect.

Revive your fallen teammates by retrieving their Blue Chips.

Find the yellow PC terminal and interact with it to bring your allies back into the fray.

Each match, players are allowed a maximum of 3 recalls, and multiple teammates can be revived simultaneously.

Once revived, teammates will reappear in a random, safe area, holding all their items, except for ammunition, from before their demise. However, be cautious: they'll return with a depleted hunger meter.



Regardless of your match result, unused materials and crafted items (excluding weapons) you have collected will carry over to your inventory for subsequent matches.

Moreover, after successfully clearing a stage, if you're lucky, you may even be able to acquire a bonus weapon or piece of armor.
