※ Please note that the features and updates described below are subject to change or removal due to issues such as bugs, in-game problems, and community feedback. The images used are intended as visual references only; the actual game may look different as the builds are continually developed and refined before release.

[h2]Gunplay
[/h2]Adjustments have been made for the AUG and Dragunov.

[h3]AUG[/h3]
- Horizontal recoil increase: +4%
- Vertical recoil increase: +9.8%
- Recoil reduction while crouched: -16% → -13%

[h3]Dragunov
[/h3]- 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.

[h2]Gameplay[/h2]
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.

[h2]World[/h2]
- 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.

[h2]Arcade[/h2]
[h3]New Team Deathmatch Map: Pillar Compound

- 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.


[h3]Bluebomb Rush Improvements

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.

PUBG Care Package EP. 2 Live Show & VOD



Hello players.

Following our first PUBG Care Package - Live Developer Talk, we're excited to reveal that the second episode is set to premiere on November 3rd!

In our debut episode, we delved into a heart-to-heart conversation with our players, touching on some in-game features like Tactical Gear, gunplay, and more. This time around, In-game Unit Director Tae-hyun Kim and our host Ji-soo Kim are making a comeback, and what's more, they'll be joined by the Lead of the Anti-Cheat Department, Sang-wan Kim!

We've been hard at work exploring ways to make this series accessible to our global player base - while we encountered hurdles in offering live, interactive content in every language simultaneously, we've found a solution. A separate VOD supporting multiple languages will be released on the same day as our live show, ensuring all our fans can enjoy the content.
