PUBG Update Patch Notes 23.2, Know about the New Features

PUBG

PUBG: Battlegrounds, previously recognized as PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, stands as a remarkable battle royale game crafted by PUBG Studios and published by Krafton. Drawing inspiration from the Japanese film Battle Royale (2000), the game evolved from Brendan "PlayerUnknown" Greene's mods for other games, ultimately blooming into a standalone creation under Greene's creative vision. It serves as the inaugural installment in the PUBG Universe series.

PUBG: Battlegrounds made its debut through Steam's early access beta program for Windows in March 2017. Following a period of refinement, the game achieved a full release in December of the same year. In tandem with the Windows launch, Microsoft Studios introduced the game to the Xbox One through its Xbox Game Preview program. The Xbox version was officially released in September 2018.

PUBG Mobile, a free-to-play iteration designed for Android and iOS, was also unveiled in 2018, alongside a port for the PlayStation 4. The game expanded its reach further with a version for the Stadia streaming platform in April 2020, followed by releases for Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 in November 2020. Since January 12, 2022, PUBG: Battlegrounds has been available as a free-to-play title across all platforms.

Critics warmly received the game, acknowledging certain technical flaws while praising its innovative gameplay, accessible to players of varying skill levels, and high replay value. PUBG: Battlegrounds is widely recognized for popularizing the battle royale genre, inspiring the creation of numerous unofficial Chinese clones.

With over 75 million copies sold across personal computers and game consoles, PUBG: Battlegrounds stands as the best-selling video game on PC and Xbox One, and ranks fifth among the best-selling video games of all time. Its worldwide revenue has exceeded $13 billion, including significant contributions from the highly successful mobile version, solidifying its position as one of the highest-grossing video games in history.

New System: Recall

"Blue Chip registered successfully. Boarding the plane in a few seconds."

Introducing the new recall system, designed to alleviate the sense of frustration felt upon death during team play. Acquire the Blue Chip from the death box of a defeated ally and help your teammate rejoin the match!

Blue Chip

• A Blue Chip is a special chip containing a player's biometric signature.
• You can obtain a Blue Chip from any player's death box.
• Collected Blue Chips can be found in your inventory.
  • Each Blue Chip has a weight of 5.
• (PC)A dedicated inventory slot for your character's Blue Chip has been added below the Helmet slot.
  • (Console) Your character's Blue Chip inventory slot has been added below the Shoe slot.
  • It is not possible to unequip your own Blue Chip.

Blue Chip Tower

• Register Blue Chips at Blue Chip Towers scattered throughout the map to Recall your teammates.
• These towers randomly spawn every match, with their locations marked on the map.
• An Interact button appears when approaching a Blue Chip Tower when you are holding at least one Blue Chip in your inventory.
  • Multiple teammates' Blue Chips can be registered concurrently.
  • Enemy Blue Chips can not be registered.
  • If the player you are trying to recall leaves the match, a corresponding text will be displayed.
  • You are unable to activate the Blue Chip Tower while holding a Drone Tablet.
• Activating a Blue Chip Tower takes about 10 seconds.
  • A loud noise is produced during the activation process.
  • Activation is canceled if you move, get knocked out or eliminated, or press the Cancel key.
• After successful registration, the same Blue Chip Tower becomes unusable for a specific duration.
• Successfully registered Blue Chips will recall the appropriate teammates in the next phase.
• Blue Chip Towers display 4 light states:
  • Red: In use.
  • Yellow: Temporarily unavailable.
  • Blue: Ready for use.
  • Gray: Unusable (during phases when the Recall system is deactivated).

Blue Chip Transmitter

• Recall teammates anytime, anywhere using the world-spawn item, Blue Chip Transmitter.
• Weight: 20
• Once you have acquired the Blue Chip Transmitter, locate it in your inventory and click on it to activate it.
• When Blue Chips are in your possession, a confirmation list appears.

• The Blue Chip Transmitter can not be used while DBNO, in a vehicle, or swimming.
  • Using the Blue Chip Transmitter while prone or crouching will automatically cause you to stand up.

Recall Process

• Players will be recalled to the match after their Blue Chips are successfully registered via Blue Chip Towers or Blue Chip Transmitters.

• Recalled players will not possess any weapons or equipment.
  • Health, boosts, DBNO stack, and items will be reset.
  • A new Blue Chip is equipped.
• If the last remaining teammate is eliminated before the player is set to rejoin the match boards the plane, the Recall will be canceled, resulting in a match defeat.

Gameplay

Vehicle

Having a clear recollection of your vehicle's whereabouts upon exiting can provide a significant advantage. However, it's not uncommon for players to feel disoriented and struggle to locate their vehicles, leading to increased stress levels.

To mitigate this issue, we are implementing a new feature that will automatically generate a personalized vehicle icon exclusively visible to you. This icon will appear at the precise location where you disembark from your vehicle, aiding you in quickly identifying its position. 

• The vehicle icon is marked on the World Map.
  • The icon is not visible to other team members.
  • It will not show up as a screen ping marker.
  • This does not affect the existing marker features.
• This feature applies to every seat in the vehicle.
• The icon will be removed once you board another vehicle.
• The icon can be removed with the existing marker deletion key/button.
  • However, this action will also delete any existing markers you've created.
• This feature applies to every vehicle but the Mountain Bike.
• This feature is available in every mode.

Furthermore, in our commitment to bolster safety precautions and prevent unfortunate accidents resulting from players accidentally disembarking from moving vehicles, we have implemented a timed exit feature. This feature becomes operational when a player attempts to exit a vehicle while it is moving at a certain speed.

• When the vehicle's moving speed exceeds 60 km/h, a 3-second countdown timer will be initiated upon attempting to leave the vehicle.
  • For speeds at or below 60 km/h, players can leave the vehicle immediately.
• If the Leave Vehicle key/button is pressed again within the 3-second window, the leaving process can be canceled.
• This feature can be toggled on or off through settings.
• To avoid repeated cancellation of leaving a vehicle, any Leave Vehicle presses within 1 second of the initial input will be disregarded, with only the first input executed.

We're also adjusting fixed vehicle spawns in Taego to enhance utility for players:

• The Pony Coupe is now available as a fixed spawn vehicle.
• The Porter will now spawn randomly, instead of appearing in fixed locations.
• At garage locations, the Pony Coupe will no longer spawn, and instead, the UAZ and Dacia will appear in fixed locations.
• Although the fixed spawns result in minor adjustments to spawn rates for specific random-spawn vehicles, the overall vehicle spawn rate remains unchanged.
• These modifications apply to all Taego game modes - Normal Match, Ranked, and Custom Match.

DBNO

We are introducing refinements to the balance of automatic health point (HP) reduction during the Down But Not Out (DBNO) state to offer players greater strategic flexibility.

By reducing the rate of HP loss when staying stationary, players will have more opportunities to assess their situation and make thoughtful choices regarding whether to hold their position or seek a new vantage point. This adjustment not only enhances the realism of the gameplay but also adds depth to the overall narrative of the game.

• While remaining stationary during DBNO, the identical HP reduction rate will apply regardless of how many times you are knocked out.
  • A unique animation will play when the automatic HP reduction rate is applied.
• When you are not moving, your character is considered to be still, remaining stationary.
  • Adjusting the camera's position without moving your character is also deemed as standing still.
• You are in motion when your character is actively moving, in water, rotating, or boarding a vehicle.

Moreover, considering the dynamics of the gaming environment, there is a noticeable delay in reviving squad members once they have been incapacitated. This situation leaves the entire squad susceptible to enemy advances.

To address this, we are introducing an innovative strategy: the inclusion of a feature that allows players to physically carry their downed teammates and transport them in vehicles for a swift escape. This addition aims to foster a wider range of scenarios, empowering players to strategically employ vehicles as a means of evading potential conflicts rather than being limited to engaging in combat or leaving teammates behind.

• Carry your knocked-out teammate and use the Limited Interact key to load them onto a vehicle.
• Knocked-out players can be placed in any seat of a vehicle, including the driver's seat.
• Once onboard, the knocked-out teammate is limited to the following actions:
  • Leave the vehicle using the leave vehicle key.
  • Drop items from inventory. This includes moving them to the vehicle's trunk.
• BRDM
  • If unoccupied, You can load any knocked-out player on it.
• If occupied by a teammate, You can only load your knocked-out teammate.
• If occupied by an enemy player, Only the knocked-out enemy's teammates can load their teammates on it.

PUBG Update Patch Notes 23.2 Updates

The PUBG update patch notes 23.2 include the introduction of a new Recall system and Clan system. The Recall system is designed to allow players to retrieve unused items like grenades and healing items when they leave them behind in a building or location. The Clan system adds a new channel to the in-game chat feature where Clan members can communicate with each other and view Clan messages. The update also includes the consumable Blue Chip Transmitter item, which allows players to summon up their downed teammates.  

The Clan system is a new way for players to connect with each other and earn rewards. The Revive system allows players to bring back their downed teammates, giving them a second chance to win the match.

The Recently-Exited Vehicles icon makes it easier for players to find and loot abandoned vehicles. The ACE32 stability improvements make it a more reliable weapon to use in combat.

The Smoke Grenade particle count reduction improves performance for players with lower-end systems. The bug fixes address a number of issues that were affecting the game. The known issues are being investigated and will be fixed in a future update.
