PTS stuff now on main game.
Hey everyone,
We’re excited to finally bring the PTS content to the live servers!
On October 25, we will be updating live servers to Update #2, which will add the Training Mode, two new weapons, and two new vehicles to PUBG, along with several quality of life and bug fixes.
Full patch notes below!
Maintenance Schedule
PDT: October 25 1:00AM-3:00AM
CEST: October 25 10:00AM-12:00PM
Training Mode
Added a Training Mode where you can practice all aspects of PUBG gameplay
The Training Mode map is 2x2 in size
You can join through matchmaking by clicking on the “Training Mode” button in the lobby.
When there are more than 5 players in the matchmaking queue, the session will start immediately. Players will continue to join open sessions for up to 5 minutes after they start. (Up to 20 per session)
If there are less than 5 players in the matchmaking queue, matchmaking will continue for 5 minutes
If there are still less than 5 players after 5 minutes, the session will start with the original number of players present and other players cannot join the session.
Total play time is 30 minutes (e.g. in case of number 1, where you immediately enter a session, you have 5 minutes where other players can join the session + regular training mode playing time of 25 minutes)
Players cannot drop below 1hp in Training mode
New Weapon: Beryl M762
Added the Beryl M762, which is a new versatile Assault Rifle which spawns on Erangel, Miramar, and Sanhok.
Beryl M762 uses 7.62mm ammunition and can load up to 30 rounds (40 with an extended magazine)
The Beryl has upper and lower rails, allowing for scopes and a grip.
It has lower per bullet damage than the AKM, but a higher firing rate, meaning higher DPS if you can control the kick.
New Weapon: MK47 Mutant
Added a new AR weapon: the MK47 Mutant
MK47 Mutant can be acquired on all maps (Erangel, Miramar, Sanhok) through world spawn
MK47 Mutant is an AR weapon using 7.62mm bullets and has a 20 round capacity, which can be upgraded to 30 rounds with an extended magazine.
The Mutant has 2 firing modes: single shot and 2-round burst
Almost all types of attachments can be used with the MK47, but it has no stock slot
New Sanhok-Exclusive Vehicle: Scooter
Added a new two-seat vehicle, the Scooter, which is exclusive to Sanhok
Both the scooter and 2-seater motorbike can be found on Sanhok
Compared to the current motorbike, the Scooter has lower speed and an increased turning circle, but the same HP.
New Sanhok Exclusive Vehicle: Tukshai
Added a new vehicle that will be exclusive to the Sanhok map
The Tukshai is a 3 person vehicle that substitutes the UAZ, Dacia and Minibus
The Tukshai is slower compared to the previous vehicles, but fits perfectly with Sahnok’s environment

Restructuring of the BP System
Previously, we offered BP rewards based only on your ranking. Now, we’ve restructured the system to take into account both play time and ranking.
Rewards have been restructured to equalize the differences in BP efficiency based on playing time for each Map and Mode.
We’ve changed team rewards to be shared:
You will no longer receive 4 times the BP because you were playing alone in a squad game
Gameplay
Bluezone effect has been changed
Added ‘TPP Aim Camera Position’ to options
Reset to Right Shoulder (default setting)
Camera will always be positioned above the character’s right shoulder
Reset to Left Shoulder
Camera will always be positioned above the character’s left shoulder
Latest Peek Shoulder
Camera position automatically moves to the direction you last leaned
Latest Aim Shoulder
Camera remains in the last ADS direction
In this setting, the camera position won’t be changed by leaning while not in ADS or scoping
[Right shoulder camera / Left shoulder camera]
Added a new attachment: the Laser Sight
Bullet spread is reduced when hip firing and soft-aiming
The Laser Sight fits on weapons with a lower rail slot available, taking up the grip slot.
Added the improved Marker/Ping System first introduced for testing on the 8/1 test server update
Using (R) button, you can create a marker where you are aiming on the compass at the top of the screen (not visible in the world)
All team members can see this marker on the compass
After setting the marker, there is a 2 second cooldown before you can mark again
The marker on the compass will automatically disappear after 5 seconds
When the ping markers overlap, the closest located marker will be shown on top.
Increased maximum sensitivity (10 → 20)
UI/UX
Added a key guide to the loading screen tips (XBOX image will be applied soon)
Improved the design of the map markers
This is thanks to feedback that some players were confusing the previous marker design with the player icon
Reporting
You can now report a player for Teaming, Gameplay interference, Verbal abuse.
This can be done after the match is over
Performance
Optimized weather effects to increase framerate - especially during rain
Optimized cloud effects during free falling to increase framerate
Improved performance by adjusting on-hit effects for various materials
Improved server and client performance by optimizing the inner composition of the plane
Increased the quality of optimization to reduce desync.
