Live Server Fixes
Removed the “If you do not get a Set Imprint 4 times in a row, you are guaranteed 1 Set Imprint in the next opening.” statement from the McLaren Prime Parcel.
Fixed the bug of being able to equip both the Lucha Royale Mask and glasses items at the lobby.
Fixed the issue of different total kills being shown in Profile and Mastery due to one of them including kills made in Casual Mode.
Fixed the bug of the character disappearing and the screen stuttering when you change the language setting at the Training Mode lobby.
Fixed the incorrect font use in the Custom Spawn Kit menu in Team Deathmatch.
(PC) Fixed the speed bug of the Coupe RB when you equip the McLaren vehicle skin and ride the Coupe RB that another player used previously.
We’ve listened to your feedback on how you’ve been playing a bit too much of Deston recently, so we’ve decided to reduce its matchmaking rate of 40% to 20% (equal as other maps) so you could enjoy other maps as well. (Applied to Console Normal Matches as well.)
※ Please keep in mind the features and updates shown below may be modified or even possibly removed due to reasons such as bugs, in-game issues, and/or community feedback. Also, the images shown below are provided as visual guidelines – they may look different in the actual game as builds are continuously developed and fixed before they go live.
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!
The Food Truck…
Can carry up to 4 passengers.
2 in the front, 2 in the back
Features a large vertical and open window on one side of the van.
Has an awning positioned on the left side.
Health/HP: 3000
Max speed: ~107km/h
Max speed (boost): ~120km/h
Using the horn will instead play a special (and familiar) musical tune.
Only available in Deston.
Normal Matches, Custom Matches (Deston)
Unavailable in Custom Match – Esports Mode.
New Feature: Changing Weather
Go from dawn to early morning, late afternoon to sunset, or from a clear day to a stormy one with the new time-of-day weather feature, only at Deston! For a more realistic time and mood, we’re now providing simple progression from one lighting/weather state to another over the course of a single match.
One of the following cycles will be randomly chosen for each match:
Dawn to early morning
Clear weather to stormy weather
Storm to Clear weather
This feature does not support a full day-night cycle – only a short progression cycle will be shown with no drastic change to the the sun angle.
Only available in Deston.

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
All weapon operation motions (both FPP and TPP) have been refreshed with tactically accurate motions.
A special focus on pacing and weight adds intensity and believability to an already immersive experience.
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 Heavy Stock with its relatively less recoil but slower zooming may be the perfect choice if you’re one who prefers stability than fast-paced combat throughout a match.

Assault Rifles (AR)
M416
ACE32
M16A4

When bots shoot, the indicator will display the bot’s shooting direction.
Tutorial Rewards
With the BP Random Crates no longer purchasable at the PC Store, the Random Crates that were available as rewards for certain Tutorial missions have been modified to the following:
Visit the Career tab, Overview page: Biker Crate → 1000 BP
Send a friend request to a friend you want to play PUBG with: Survivor Crate → 2000 BP
Make a team with 2 or more players by inviting friends from the main menu, then start a match: Wanderer Crate → Contraband Coupon x5
Players who complete the above Tutorial missions after this update will receive the modified rewards.
Players who have completed the above Tutorial missions before this update but have not received their rewards yet, can receive the modified rewards.
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
PC: H
Xbox/Stadia: LB + X
PlayStation®: L1 + ▢
Console players must head over to their custom controller presets to customize these keys.
You may modify the keybindings, but you are unable to remove them entirely.
Vehicle Skin Improvements
A new system enabling you to choose special vehicle skins for a fancier experience has arrived!
You are now required to press certain keys to equip vehicle skins.
Two new categories have been added to vehicle skins: Basic Skins and Special Skins.
These categories have been added to your Customize – Vehicle page.
You can select one Basic Skin and one Special Skin to choose from when you’re in-game.
Keys for equipping vehicle skins have been changed to the following:
Use vehicle without equipping skin (Basic interaction key)
PC: F
Xbox/Stadia: X
PlayStation®: ▢
Equip vehicle skin (Limited Interact)
PC: H
Xbox/Stadia: LB + X
PlayStation®: L1 + ▢
Players who’ve been using the above keybindings for vehicle use will have to change their keybinding settings again after this update.
Console players must head over to their custom controller presets to customize their keybinds for equipping vehicle skins.
You may modify the keybindings, but you are unable to remove them entirely.
Equipping vehicle skins
The list of Basic and Special skins you’ve selected at Customize will pop up for you to select.
If you’ve selected only one skin (either category) at Customize, the vehicle will equip its skin immediately.
Vehicle skin equip effect
A special effect has been added to vehicles when equipping skin.
The effect will be canceled if:
The vehicle moves (driving, collision, friction, etc.)
A player gets in the vehicle
The player moves too far from the vehicle after interaction
The vehicle receives damage (tire damage included)
When another player selects another skin
If the effect is canceled, the vehicle will maintain its original appearance.
If the vehicle received damage during the effect, the damage will remain on the vehicle.
With the Roadster Motorcycle no longer a world spawn vehicle, the El Solitario Desert Wolves skin has been categorized as a Special Skin.
Collaboration: McLaren
McLaren is here at PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS.
Dress your Coupe RB with McLaren skins!
McLaren vehicle skins are purchasable as Special Skins.
The Coupe RB’s original features will not be affected by the McLaren skins.
McLaren Container
A special container will spawn in each starting point of Erangel, Miramar, Taego, Sanhok, Vikendi, and Deston. These special containers will open up to reveal a vehicle with a McLaren skin equipped.
Players who own a McLaren vehicle skin can interact with these containers.
Only the player who opens the container and/or their teammates can ride and drive the McLaren vehicle.
Players may interact with these containers until they board the plane.
Containers and the McLaren vehicle will be removed once a match starts.
The McLaren containers will be available to use for three months.
