Update 11.1 - Now Live!

Update 11.1 is here!

You've waited patiently to drop back into the highlands of Paramo and we're excited to bring you brand new experiences there as well! In its sophomore run, Paramo is now part of the normal map rotation, meaning that all regular queues are available. We've also taken this time to tweak some map settings and lean in slightly more to Paramo's randomized terrain.

While you're out on the highlands, we've got several newly balanced weapons for you to try out. The Mini-14, VSS, and SCAR-L have all seen damage increases this season, so test out the new hardware on our next drop.

There's also a fast new way to reach the safe zone on Erangel and Miramar. The Emergency Pickup attaches you and your squad to a high-altitude balloon, allowing a plane to scoop you up and carry you across the Battlegrounds. Parachute back down to the fight below when you've reached your destination and catch your enemies by surprise- just be careful while deploying. Giant flashy balloons don't exactly scream "Nothing to see here."

We've also revamped the PUBG ID system a bit, adding 10 new medals to Medal Mastery and giving you a couple slots to show them off on your ID. You can also now view your killfeed logs, try out new ways to add friends, and more. Check out the full patch notes here and we'll see you on the Battlegrounds!

PUBG dev teases Karakin return and Miramar rework

PUBG Season 11 is only days away, but we've already got a glimpse of what's happening beyond that. PUBG's community coordinator 'Steve the happy whale' (great name) had a wee chat with fans on the battle royale's Discord server to gauge the mood after the update 11.1 patch notes went live.


The community coordinator confirms to one fan that Karakin is set to return to the map pool at a later date and that the PUBG team will be rotating maps in and out from the upcoming season onwards. As for a potential rework of the game's Miramar map, he says that one is coming, though the devs can't say when right now. He also says that the development team has been forwarded feedback on matchmaking and "drive-by" mechanics, though any action on those points may take a while to surface.


"It would not make much sense to make one change that would satisfy 2,000 players, [but] piss off two million players," he explains. "This is why suggestions can sometimes take time to reflect in game. It is not as simple as you may think it is, regardless of how trivial a change it is, unfortunately."
