< Dev's comment >
This year, we've continued enhancing the gunplay experience by making various adjustments to mainstream weapons, SMGs, and attachments. Update 32.1 builds on this by further diversifying the Care Package weapon selection. First, the FAMAS and MG3 have been underperforming and underused compared to other Care Package weapons, so we've improved their usability to highlight their strengths in high RPM. For the FAMAS, we've addressed its limited sustained fire due to the lack of a magazine. In the case of the MG3, we've improved its reload speed, which previously lagged behind that of the M249. Meanwhile, the P90 had the highest win rate of all Care Package weapons with high rates of fire, primarily due to its low recoil and high power with minimal risk despite having limited ammo. To balance this, we've increased the weight of the 5.7mm ammo, which will still be the lightest type available. The much-loved Mk14 boasted the highest damage and RPM among DMRs, prompting us to nerf its power. In addition, we’ve included the Lynx AMR, which was previously exclusive to the Miramar Care Package, as well as the DBS, in Care Packages across all maps. We’ve received significant feedback regarding the DBS and its strong performance on the battlegrounds. Instead of simply nerfing it, we’re moving it to Care Packages to provide players with a new option—a Shotgun—among Care Package goods while also buffing it to make it even more powerful than it was before. We hope this enhances the diversity of the overall gameplay experience.
With this update to the Care Package weapons, our goal was to enhance their performance while still respecting their unique characteristics. We aimed to strike the right balance so that each Care Package weapon performs appropriately for its elite status without allowing any single weapon to gain an unfair advantage. Additionally, the Muzzle Brake, which has been widely used since launch, will also be adjusted to better align with other attachments. We’ve made these changes to ensure that players who prefer to control their camera shake can continue to enjoy using the Muzzle Brake, allowing for a gunplay experience that reflects their personal preferences.
Recall System
We're revamping the Recall system based on your feedback!
New Features
Recall Timeline
- Recall flights will now appear at regular intervals of 2 minutes and 30 seconds after the match begins instead of once per phase.
- However, recall flights will not fly from Phase 7 onwards.
- The total number of recall flights per match will be slightly increased.
- The Blue Chip Towers and Blue Chip Transmitters will be deactivated once the final recall flight appears.
- Since the recall system can now be used immediately after the match starts, the notification for when the Blue Chip Recall System Devices become active has been removed.
Recall Flight Notification
- The remaining number of recall flights and their arrival times are displayed in the bottom right corner of the World Map.
- Players carrying friendly Blue Chips will see the remaining number of recall flights at the top of their Minimap.
Recall Flight Route
- The route of the recall flight is now determined by the Play Area rather than the Safe Zone.
Blue Chip Locations
- The locations of your teammates' Blue Chips are now shown on both the World Map and Minimap.
- The location will no longer be displayed once a teammate picks up the Blue Chip or if the Blue Chip is destroyed or removed.
Misc.
- All Blue Chips can now be obtained instantly.
Dev's comment: Update 32.1 introduces significant changes to our beloved Recall system. In response to player feedback about long wait times, we’re implementing a separate timeline for recall flights, which previously appeared only once per phase. This means you’ll see them more frequently during the early stages of a match. We’ve also adjusted the flight path to cover a larger area; it was previously restricted to crossing the Safe Zone, which reduced your chances of survival and limited your landing options. Additionally, with this update, the location of an eliminated teammate's Blue Chip will now be displayed on the map. To balance the increased risk of taking enemies' Blue Chips, we are removing the 2.5-second rule for neutralizing the Blue Chips.
Ranked
Season 32
-
The method for calculating RP for premade teams is shifting from a team average to a weighted average.
- Previously, matchmaking was based on the team average RP, but starting in Season 32, it will be based on a weighted average. If you have a teammate with a high RP in your premade team, the RP pool you’ll be matched into will be higher, resulting in a more challenging gameplay experience.
-
Kills will carry more weight than assists in the RP calculation.
- We aim for this change to match players with similar killing abilities within the same tier and division.
-
The minimum performance expectations for each tier are being updated.
- Gold and higher tiers will now have increased minimum performance expectations to better reflect the skill differences at higher levels. However, we’re slightly lowering the minimum performance expectations for Master tier players to alleviate the pressure.
- Ranked weapon skins for the P90 have been added as Tier Rewards (permanent) for Season 32.
- The leaderboard will reset after the live server maintenance.
- Check out your final Tier from the previous season through your Career page.
Dev's comment: We are dedicated to fostering a fair gaming environment that makes Ranked play a worthy challenge. Our focus is to maintain a system where RP accurately reflects player skill, ensuring that players are matched with others of similar ability. We want everyone to face the right level of challenge for their skill set while preserving the fundamental excitement and intensity of Ranked gameplay. We genuinely appreciate all our players for continuing to enjoy Ranked, the core mode of PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS, and we eagerly anticipate your feedback as we progress through Season 32. We are committed to providing a competitive experience where players can truly showcase their abilities.
