PUBG Update 44.1: Vehicle Buffs, Trunks and LMG Rollback
Update 44.1 ends the first Meta Rotation early, hands every vehicle more health, gives three buses and vans a trunk, and brings Dawnbreakers back as a Nightmare-only mode. Here is what changed, the exact numbers, and which platform has it yet.
PUBG Esports 2027: Four Phases and the New Points System
On 28 October KRAFTON announced how PUBG Esports will run in 2027: four Phases that each pair a Regional League with a PUBG Global Series, one PUBG Esports Points system that only PGS results feed, new regions including India, and Global Partner Teams that no longer hold guaranteed slots. Here is what changes from 2026, what the announcement says about the extra seed for a champion's region, and what it leaves unanswered.

PUBG Custom Matches: How Hosting Works After Update 43.2
Update 43.2 gave PUBG custom match hosts a Force End button, random team assignment, a lobby-wide nickname hider, a host-only chat setting and a 0-10x explosion multiplier, and they don't all work in the same modes. Here is who can host, which tool works where, what Esports Mode copies from Ranked, and the patches that changed settings your old presets rely on.
PUBG Bans: What Gets You Banned and How Many Each Week
KRAFTON banned 34,271 PUBG accounts in the week of 12 to 18 October 2026, and 20,929 of them for cheating. Here is the Rules of Conduct penalty table, what counts as cheating on PC and console in 2026, the non-cheating offences that can still cost you the account, how reporting and appeals work, and 11 weeks of KRAFTON's own weekly ban figures.
PUBG Dawnbreakers of Rondo: How the SLB PvE Mode Works
Update 43.2 brought back Survivors Left Behind, PUBG's co-op PvE mode against the Hungers, for a fourth run, this time on Rondo. Here is how a stage works, what Rookie and Veteran change, what you can craft and deploy, what carries over between matches, and how it differs from the Haven, Taego and Miramar versions.
PUBG on PS5 and Xbox: 120 FPS Mode and Bigger Hitboxes
PUBG on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S was held to 60 FPS by design until July. Update 42.2 added a 120 FPS Frame Rate Priority mode on all four consoles, Update 43.1 enlarged console-only hitboxes with no damage or recoil changes attached to them, and Update 43.2 added two controller presets, PUBG Standard and Shooter Standard. Here is the resolution and frame rate for each console, the buttons 42.2 moved, and how the two new presets differ.
PGC 2026 Qualification: PGS Points, Seeds and Circuit 4
Virtus.pro won PGS 10, Team Liquid won PGS 11, and PGS 12, the double-points Circuit Final, whose Grand Finals end on 1 November, decides who reaches PGC 2026 in Istanbul through PGS Points and which stage each of them starts from. Here is KRAFTON's whole qualification map, its standings after Circuit 3, and the double-qualification rule that sends spare seeds to the regions instead of ninth place.
PUBG Blue Zone Timings: Every Phase in Normal and Ranked
Update 42.1 retimed PUBG's blue zone separately for Normal Match and Ranked, and made its damage depend on how long you stay in the blue rather than how far out you are. Here is every phase as a table, built from KRAFTON's own charts.

PUBG Utility Items: Folded Shield, Zipline Gun & More
PUBG's loot pool has a whole layer of kit that isn't a gun, armour, a heal or a grenade. Here are nine of those items: what each one does, what slot and weight it costs you, where it spawns as of Update 43.1, and which patch changed the rules on it.
PUBG Secret Rooms: Every Map, Key and What's Inside
Secret Rooms are on seven PUBG maps now, they've been in Ranked since June 2026, and the Self-AED hasn't spawned in one since April 2025. Here's every map's key and door rules, the loot lists KRAFTON has actually published, and the two unlocked cousins: Vikendi's alarmed Lab Camps and Sanhok's Loot Truck.
PUBG Match Results and Leaderboard, Explained
Update 43.1's patch notes buried two stat-tracking systems under headings nobody reads top to bottom: an expanded Match Results screen filed under Arcade, and an entirely new Career Leaderboard filed under its own heading with no platform tag. Here's what each one actually shows, which modes the Match Results upgrade does and doesn't cover, and how the four leaderboard categories are scored.
PUBG Workshop Guide: How Crafting and Disassembling Work
PUBG's Workshop has quietly run on Imprints, Vouchers and Credits since 2022. In 2026, KRAFTON deleted a standing chest, retired the two-step randomness its own developers called the 'Double Gacha,' and in September made a chunk of the catalogue up to five times more expensive to craft or disassemble.
PUBG Item Carrying and Instant Use, Explained
Update 43.1 gave PUBG two systems that skip the inventory screen entirely: carrying an item off the ground with no backpack cost, and using items — heals, a Folded Shield, even C4 — straight from where they're lying. Our Update 43.1 kick coverage gave this two rows in a summary table. Here is everything KRAFTON's patch notes actually say about it: which item categories qualify, what forces you to drop a carried item, and how a full bag stops being a real problem.
How to Kick in PUBG: Update 43.1's New Melee Action
Update 43.1 gave PUBG a kick button. Right-click while unarmed and you can shove a player off a heal, boot a wooden door off its frame, or shake loot out of a vending machine faster than the interact prompt would. Here is exactly what KRAFTON's patch notes confirm about it — inputs, the destructible list, the vending machine cost — and the parts they left unstated.
What Is POBG? PUBG's Maintenance Mode Mini-Game
Update 42.3's patch notes name-drop a feature called POBG: Maintenance Mode and move on. It is not new — KRAFTON built it for April Fools 2021 as a chicken-uprising arcade shooter voiced by a villain called PlayerOmnom, then brought it back again as a full event mode in Update 37.1, August 2025. Here is what the 42.3 notes actually confirm about this third appearance, and what they leave unstated.
PUBG Crosshair Customization and Settings Sharing
Update 42.3 led with the RPD and the LMG Meta Rotation, but the same patch notes added a crosshair editor with four weapon profiles and a settings code that copies your setup onto someone else's machine. Here is every option KRAFTON listed, the two carve-outs that limit it, what a shared code does and does not carry, and the rest of the settings rebuild that shipped alongside it.

PUBG Secondary Password: How to Set It Up for Ranked
Since Update 39.2 went live on 7 January 2026, PC players cannot enter Rank Mode without a 6-8 digit secondary password tied to a real mobile number — and neither can anyone in their party. Here is the setup flow, the 24-hour re-entry rule, the SMS limits that strand people mid-setup, the reset path when the phone number is gone, and the account-theft unban allowance that having one turns from once-ever into twice a year.
What Is PUBG: Playgrounds? Community Modes Explained
Update 42.3 gave community-created PUBG modes their own tab in the Play menu and their own matchmaking. Here is what PUBG: Playgrounds contains, the tag system it sorts modes by, the gameplay data KRAFTON uses to decide which modes get in, and the $95,000 CurseForge contest whose 30 winning modes are being added from October through December.
Is PUBG Cross-Platform? Who You Can Play With
PUBG runs two separate crossplay systems that do not connect. One puts Steam and Epic Games Store on the same server; the other puts PlayStation and Xbox in the same matchmaking pool. Here is exactly who can queue with whom, why the PC-console gap is structural rather than stubborn, and which consoles can still launch the game at all.
Is PUBG Free to Play? Battlegrounds Plus Explained
PUBG stopped costing money in 2022, but the fine print — what a free account can and cannot do, and what the Battlegrounds Plus upgrade actually unlocks — quietly changed again this June. The cash price is gone; you can now buy your way into Ranked with BP you earned by playing.
PUBG Map Selection Cut to Three Slots: What You Can Queue
Three months after finally letting NA, SA, EU and RU players pick their map, KRAFTON has cut the list from five to three. Erangel is now permanently fixed, the other two slots are one big map and one small one, and the reason is the thing players were already complaining about: bots.
PUBG Meta Rotation: The LMG Season and the New RPD
KRAFTON made LMGs good on purpose — and put a four-month timer on it. Update 42.3 launched Meta Rotation with a class-wide LMG rebalance and the RPD, PUBG's first new light machine gun in nearly two years. Here are the published numbers, the date the buffs go away — and the 43.1 walk-back that trimmed them four weeks in.
PUBG Recall Guide: Blue Chips and Towers
A dead teammate in PUBG isn't a dead teammate. Grab the Blue Chip out of their deathbox, register it at a tower, and they parachute back in. Here's the full Recall system — flight timings, phase cutoffs, what you come back with, and how to deny the enemy the same favour.
PUBG Ammo Types Explained: What Every Caliber Costs You
Every round you pick up in PUBG has a price tag in inventory space, and nobody reads it. A 7.62 bullet costs 40% more room than a 5.56 one, and a single frag grenade weighs the same as 54 rounds of 5.56. Here's the whole caliber system, priced out.
PUBG Tactical Gear Guide: What Survived and What Got Cut
PUBG's tactical gear has been added, made mandatory, deleted, revived, and pruned — all inside four years. Here's exactly what's in the loot pool in 2026, what each item costs you in weapon slots, and why the Drone and Spotter Scope aren't coming back.

PUBG Zone Prediction Guide: Reading the Circle
You can't predict where the PUBG circle lands. But you can play the odds, read the terrain, and rotate before it forces you. Here's the difference between guessing the zone and beating it.
PUBG Melee Weapons Guide: Does the Pan Really Block Bullets?
The pan hits harder than every other melee weapon in PUBG and doubles as a plate of armor bolted to your back. Here's what each melee weapon actually does through armor, and the handful of moments where swinging is the correct play.
PUBG Cover Guide: What Actually Stops a Bullet
Half the deaths in PUBG happen behind something the player thought was protecting them. Bushes, grass, car doors, smoke — here's what actually stops a bullet, what only hides you, and how to use each one without getting killed while you feel safe.
PUBG Drop Shots and Gunfight Movement Guide
The best PUBG duelists don't stand still and out-aim you — they move in ways that make your shots miss high while their own spray stays tight. Here's how drop shots, crouch-spam, and strafe-jiggling actually work, and when each one wins or loses the fight.
PUBG Armor & Helmet Guide: Levels & Damage Reduction
A Level 3 helmet is the difference between eating a Kar98k headshot and dying to one. Here's what every armor level in PUBG actually does, with the real numbers.

PUBG Red Zone Guide: Survive the Bombing Run
That flashing red circle on your minimap has ended more panic runs than it has kills. The red zone in PUBG is a bluff you can call — here is how it works, why it is not targeting you, and how to walk out of one every time.
PUBG Emergency Pickup Guide: Fly Out of Trouble
It looks like a party balloon and it saves games. The Emergency Pickup fultons your squad across the map to the safe zone, but it has strict rules and it hangs you in the open air. Here is how to use it without turning into target practice.
PUBG Mid-Game Guide: Own Phases 2 Through 5
You survived the drop and you'll survive the final ten — but the match is decided in the messy middle, phases two through five. Here's how to turn the mid-game into a lead instead of a coin flip.
PUBG Water Play Guide: Swimming, Diving, and Boats
Water in PUBG is risky. A swimmer is down to a sidearm they can only fire while holding still, boats are loud, and the coast is dangerous when the circle pulls seaward — but each of those facts is also a weapon if you know the rules. Here's the whole waterlogged playbook, revised for Update 43.1.
PUBG Duo Strategy Guide: How to Actually Win as Two
Duos is the least forgiving mode in PUBG and nobody talks about it that way. You get exactly one teammate, which means you get exactly one mistake — and the moment you're both down, the game ends instantly with no third player to clean up. Here's how two players actually win.
PUBG Bridge Crossing Guide: Beat the Camp or Take the Water
The bridge camper is the most hated player in PUBG and also one of the most correct. A bridge is a chokepoint with no cover and exactly two exits, which makes it the best free-kill spot on Erangel. Here's how to get across one alive — and how to be the guy holding it.
PUBG Team Communication Guide: Comms That Win Fights
Most squads don't lose fights because they got out-aimed — they lose because four people were playing four different games. Here's how to build comms that actually win fights: callout structure, info discipline, who talks when, and how to IGL without being insufferable.
PUBG Spotting Guide: See Enemies Before They See You
Spotting first gives you the opening move in a PUBG fight, and spotting is a trainable skill — not eyesight. Scanning patterns, muzzle flash, scope glint, sound reads, and the environmental tells that are easy to sprint straight past.
PUBG Crosshair Placement Guide: Pre-Aim, Win First
The guy who killed you didn't aim faster — he aimed earlier. Crosshair placement is the cheapest aim upgrade in PUBG: keep the dot at head level, park it where enemies appear, and most of your duels are over before they start.
PUBG Early Game Guide: Win the First Circle Window
By the time the first circle finishes closing, roughly half the lobby is already gone. Here's how to turn PUBG's opening minutes — drop, loot, fight-or-leave, first rotation — into a lead instead of a lottery.

PUBG Flanking Guide: Win Fights From the Side
A head-on peek war between two decent players is a coin flip. A flank removes the coin. Here's how to get to an enemy's blind side, when it's worth it, and how to close the kill without handing it back.
PUBG Vehicle Combat Guide: Driving, Drive-Bys, Cover
A vehicle in PUBG is a weapon, a wall, and a coffin depending on how you use it. Here's how to drive under fire, land drive-bys, use the engine block as cover, and bail before the thing cooks off underneath you.
PUBG Third-Party Guide: Avoid and Exploit the Third

PUBG Paramo Map Guide: Volcano, Lava & Heli Drops
Paramo is the PUBG map where the landmarks move between matches, the lava actually kills you, and you ride a helicopter in instead of jumping from a plane. Here's how to read a map that refuses to stay still.
PUBG Solo Strategy Guide: How to Survive and Win Alone
Solo PUBG is a different game from squads, so stop playing it like you still have backup. There's no teammate revive, no trade, no one to call the flank — every fight you take is a coin flip you don't have to flip. Here's how to actually survive solo queue and solos-vs-squads.
PUBG Hot Drop Guide: How to Master the Landing Fight
Hot dropping is the fastest way to get good at PUBG and the fastest way to die in ninety seconds. The difference between the players who farm hot drops and the ones who feed them isn't aim — it's the glide, the first three items they grab, and what they do in the ten seconds after the first kill.
PUBG Deston Map Guide: Drops, Recall & Endgame

PUBG Rondo Map Guide: Drops, Rotations & Endgame
Rondo is PUBG's 8x8 love letter to Chinese landscape — bamboo groves and karst mountains in one corner, a neon skyscraper city in the other. It looks unlike anything else in the game, and it plays like it too. Here's where to drop, how to rotate, and how to win the endgame.

Vikendi is the snow map everyone either loves or forgets exists.

PUBG Taego Map Guide: Secret Room, Drops & Rotations
Taego launched with two second-chance systems, and neither works the way old guides say. Here's a real guide to PUBG's Korea map — where to drop, what the Secret Room holds now, what the gliders change about rotations, why the Comeback BR was removed in Update 31.2, and why the Self-AED has been a Solo-only item on every map since Update 35.1.

PUBG Squad Strategy: How to Win More Games as a Team
A squad of four randoms loses to a coordinated duo more often than anyone wants to admit. The difference is never aim — it's roles, comms, and moving as one unit. Here's how to actually play PUBG as a team instead of four solos in the same lobby.
