KRAFTON, Inc. has rolled out Update 34.1 for PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS, now available on PC and coming to consoles on February 20. This update brings significant improvements to the 1v1 Arena, weapon rebalancing, and vehicle enhancements, promising a more refined battle experience for players.
The 1v1 Arena, previously part of Training Mode, is now more accessible. Players can enter battles directly through Arcade mode and spawn straight into the arena, maintaining the same rules for a seamless and competitive experience. Additionally, players can now host 1v1 duels via Custom Matches, adding more flexibility to the gameplay.
Weapon balance updates are a key highlight of Update 34.1. The 7.62mm ammunition is now lighter, allowing players to carry more rounds. Shotguns have seen adjustments to buckshot spread, recoil, and damage drop-off, enhancing close-quarters combat. The Mk12’s recoil has been increased to reduce its dominance in long-range engagements, ensuring a more balanced gameplay experience.
Vehicle enhancements are also part of this update. The Dacia, Mirado, Pony Coupe, and Coupe RB now feature trunks, providing extra storage for players. Off-road vehicles like the Buggy and Quad have been upgraded with improved tire durability, offering better performance across rough terrain.
A new Ranked Season kicks off with Update 34.1, bringing fresh challenges and rewards for players. The update also includes various bug fixes and optimizations to ensure a smoother gameplay experience.
