Have you been playing PUBG recently? The game is slowly coming back for a breakthrough in the Battle Royale genre. It appears that with Season 11 and the new patch destined to arrive on March 31, PUBG is getting closer to a possibly refurbished release.
This update is considered to be another big content drop that will sound the return of Paramo in the new Season 11. The update will arrive a little bit later on consoles, on April 8.
Below you can find the complete changes estimated to arrive with Patch 11.1, alongside the new video published by PUBG Corporation. With the update being live on the Test servers, it proves the strong developer dedication.
-
New Ranked Season: Starting with Season 11, Ranked Seasons will run for a two-month period, meaning these seasons will no longer run parallel with Survivor Passes. As a result, adjustments have been made to how rewards are rolled out. Additionally, all weapons’ spawn rates have been increased in all maps to more closely align with the rates seen in PUBG’s Esports mode.
-
Emergency Pickup: A new transport tool has been added to quickly allow Survivors and their squads to move across the Battlegrounds to the next safe zone. With the Emergency Pickup item, Survivors can deploy a high-altitude Fulton Balloon. Once the balloon is fully inflated, an airplane will arrive in 60 seconds to pick up Survivors. Once the airplane arrives, up to four Survivors will be hoisted into the air and carried toward the center of the White Zone until they decide to drop out and parachute back to the Battleground below. While this item is heavy and can draw increased attention from nearby enemies, it can be used to outrun the Blue Zone, cross enemy-controlled territory quickly or loot a remote location to find powerful gear. The Emergency Pickup is a lootable item only found on Erangel, Miramar, Sanhok and Vikendi.
-
Mastery Medals: To improve ways Survivors can track and highlight their key in-game accomplishments, Season 11 introduces updates to the Mastery Medal system. There are now 10 new medals that can be earned through various Battlegrounds achievements tied to combat situations and survival – or in the case of the “So Close” medal, almost surviving. However, Mastery Medals can be acquired in both Normal and Ranked matches, but are unavailable to earn in Arcade, Lab, or Custom matches.
-
PUBG ID: Related to the Mastery Medal update, Survivors can now show off their earned medals as part of the revamped PUBG ID. In addition to being able to add up to two medals, Survivors can take additional steps to personalize PUBG ID through the Customization tab.
The update is currently live on the test servers, and below you can find a list of bugs that are already addressed in it.
