PUBG is soon going to receive plenty of additional content in the near future, and some of it has been leaked online through data mining.

The biggest new addition coming in the near future for PUBG is a brand new snow map called Dihor Otok. A new image of the map surfaced online in the past few hours, highlighting some of the map's points of interest such as the Cosmodrome, Town and more. The map is apparently going to release this Winter.

PUBG is also going to be getting a new play mode called Conquest, where players will have to capture a certain area. Night Mode is also, apparently, coming.

Last week, the PUBG PC 1.0 Update #21 has been released on the test server, introducing Quality of Life improvements as well as the Training Mode and more.

New Feature: 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 2, 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: 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: 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

Supply System

Added the supply system which grants you a reward based on completed missions and play time
You can level up and get rewards when you fill the Survival gauge with survival XP
Missions will be refreshed daily and weekly.
You earn a reward every time you gain a survival level

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

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.
Currently, there is a known issue that the laser effect is not displayed in the death cam or replay. This issue will be resolved soon.

Added the improved Marker/Ping System first introduced for testing on the 8/1 test server update
Using ALT + Mouse wheel click, you can create a marker where you are aiming on the compass at the top of the screen (not visible in the world)
You may change the key bindings freely in options
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.
Improved the visuals for blue zone effects
Bluezone effects are now shown more clearly.
While the Bluezone is closing in, it will be easier to see from a longer distance than before
Bluezone effects looked differently depending on the map and weather. We’ve improved this so that the Bluezone effect is visually similar in all conditions.

UI / UX

Added an option to check state of Voice Chat input in settings
You can check it at: Settings > Sound > Voice Chat category

Added a Network Information function that can display Ping, connection speed, packets, and packet loss.
This will be located in the top left of the screen.
You can change the settings to On/Off at Settings > Gameplay > UI > Network debug statistics
Improved the UI menu for Appearance > Wardrobe, Weapons, Gear
Improvements made to make various items more visible.
Added a filter function at the left of screen, so that you can filter by certain categories

You can check current promotional item details in “Featured” page

Performance

Improved performance by adjusting on-hit effects for various materials
Improved shadow rendering performance
Partially improved the frame hitch that is caused by texture streaming when moving on the map
Improved the rendering performance of burning vehicles

Replay

Improved control methods for the Camera (Free Camera / Follow Camera)
Made improvements to enable separation of click and drag when the replay UI appears on the screen.
When a click is maintained under 0.3 seconds this will be perceived as a “click”, if it is held longer then the click is perceived as a “drag”.
Replay version has been updated, replays from previous updates are no longer playable.

Custom Match

Added 4 types of presets for Custom Matches.
Normal mode
45ACP Mode (Forty-Fivers)
Crossbow Mode (Ghillie Crossing)
War mode

Can call or save 10 presets at maximum.
Added functionality to set passwords for match spectating.
Added the option of setting the scale for combat (team combat/platoon combat) in Regular mode and War mode in Settings
Improved the usability of the Flaregun
When obtaining the Flaregun, the number of care packages left will be displayed in the HUD - on top of the minimap.
When using the Flaregun, the UI displays whether it is possible to successfully fire the Flaregun
Adjusted the display indicating the scope of area for the Flaregun drop
Removed “War Royale” option in War mode - blue zone option
We’ll improve upon this option and bring it back soon.
