Now, watch this message from Executive Producer TS Jang on what to expect in Season 5 of PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS.
Miramar Update
Miramar, refreshed
A LA Muerte Vamos Track
A race track has been added, which was the venue for A La Muerte Vamos in Miramar.
You can now find newly added objects like ramps, loops, jumps and signboards across Miramar
New Gold Mirado
A Gold Mirado has been added to Miramar, which can only be found parked at the garage in Hacienda del Patron.
Some terrain in Hacienda del Patron has been adjusted to let you ride the Gold Mirado out safely.
Only one Gold Mirado spawns each match.
Spring-cleaned Miramar
Removed some small objects and trash in and around buildings to reduce clutter and make movement easier when looting.
Improved Miramar item spawn balance
The spawn rates of weapons and scopes effective at long-range have been increased to better suit the long-range engagements commonly had across Miramar.
AR - 12% increase
DMR - 29% increase
SR - 42% increase
Win94 - 30% increase
Scopes - 18% increase
Pistol spawn rate reduced by 31%.
The spawn rates of helmets, bags and vests has been increased slightly.
Vending Machine
"Does anyone need a drink?"
Vending machines have been placed in Miramar and Camp Jackal to provide a new looting experience other than picking up items spawned on the floor.
You can get Painkillers and Energy Drinks from Vending Machines.
Vending machines are only available in Miramar and Camp Jackal.
In Miramar, vending machines spawn randomly at set locations.
Locations: Arenas, Casino, gas stations, Motels and commercial buildings.
In Camp Jackal, Vending Machines always spawn at the warehouse and gas station.
If you're lucky, Vending Machines can dispense many Energy Drinks at once.
Be careful when you use the vending machine as cover. The vending machine is protected by cutting-edge anti-theft technology, and any attempt to damage the machine may expose your location to the enemy!
Survivor Pass: Badlands
"Your Fight. Your Story. Your Battlegrounds"
The Survivor Pass is back with new rewards, missions, and improved systems! Do not miss the new community missions where players can join together to discover the hidden story of Miramar!
Community Mission System Whether you have purchased Premium Pass or not, all players can join together to fill the Community accomplishment gauge, then claim in-game skin rewards and unravel the hidden story of Miramar.
The mission gauge can be filled by finding new mystery collectibles on the Battlegrounds.
Players who find and open special Cardboard Boxes will be able to loot one of the 3 different objects.
When collected, they are reflected on the Community mission accomplishment gauge as follows:
Disc piece: Counts as 1 point toward Community Missions Goal
Broken disc: Counts as 2 points toward Community Missions Goal
Old DVD: Counts as 3 points toward Community Missions Goal
You can check how many discs you have in the inventory.
Check your contribution points to the community missions from the community mission tab of Survivor Pass.
Season Missions
There are two tracks of Season Missions: Melee and Badlands.
Melee Track: Combined missions consisting of 2 missions each (4 missions in total) using melee weapons, which reward 2 melee weapon skins.
Badlands Track: Combined missions consisting of 4 missions each (8 missions in total), which reward 2 Miramar related skins.
Progression Missions
Progression Missions give a great amount of XP progressing through missions throughout Season 5. It's composed of 3 mission tracks and one track for achieving certain milestones.
Track 1, 2: A series of 10 missions with gradually increasing difficulty, open for all players.
Track 3: A series of 12 mission with gradually increasing difficulty for players with the Premium Pass.
Milestone: Missions for reaching certain achievements related to daily, weekly and challenge missions.
Example: Complete 100 total daily missions
Challenge Missions
These are high-level challenge missions with which reward using designated weapons.
First mission of each track: Whether you have purchased Premium Pass or not, earn a t-shirt reward by achieving certain Survivor Pass levels (5, 10, 15, 20, 25).
Second mission of each track: Complete weapon specific missions while wearing the t-shirt obtained from the first mission.
Remaining missions in each track: Various weapon specific missions.
Level-up items for Premium pass mission rewards
Added level-up items for one of premium pass mission rewards.
These items are non-marketable, and they will be activated when the next season (Season 6) starts.
Survivor Title System
Survivor Title System Season 5 arrives with changes to the Survivor Points(SP) system.
Rewards for Survivor Title System Season 4 will be granted at the beginning of Season 5.
SP will be soft-reset, with your performance in Season 4 counting towards your starting SP in Season 5.
Survival Point rebalance:
Beginner (1 point) ~ Expert (5000 points)
To enable players to climb titles easier, we have increased the amount of SP gained each match.
In this SP bracket, players are not able to lose points, just like previous season.
Survivor (Over 6000 points)
For players of Survivor rank, considering both kills and placement, if placing in the bottom 30% overall in a match, some SP will be lost.
SP cannot be lowered below 6000.
Developers Note: After observing the current system, we've found that players can achieve Lone Survivor rank by simply playing many matches, even with poor results. Therefore, from Season 5, we have introduced a system where Survivor or higher ranked players will have SP deducted in each match they perform poorly. We hope that this new system will better represent Survivor and Lone Survivor ranks as accomplished titles for players who work so hard to achieve them.
Gameplay

Added ground respawn to War Mode (Platoon battle option) and War Mode: ConquestIn War Mode (Platoon battle option) and War Mode: Conquest, there was no movement path or front line created, even though these modes are about 1:1 battles between two teams. Because spawning from the plane made it difficult to play strategically, we've added an option that allows you to spawn right from the ground without parachuting, and to be respawn on the ground after death.
Choosing "Platoon Battle" in the battle scale option, players will be spawned on the ground by default.
There are now 4 options provided for respawn types, including the original 'air dropping' option. Here are the 3 newly added options:
Death location
Option that respawns you on the location you died after a certain amount of time.
Starting location
Option that respawns you on the preset starting location a certain amount of time after you die.
Selected respawning location
Option that respawns you on the selected location after you die. The location can be selected at any time during gameplay from the starting location / teammate / the occupied location.
If the selected occupied location goes unoccupied and thus becomes unselected, the respawn location automatically changes to the closest occupied location or the starting location.
If the selected teammate dies and becomes unselected, the respawn location automatically changes to the starting location.
Only Official PUBG Partners can create games with these new presets, so please enjoy the new spawning rules with your favorite PUBG Partners!
Respawn time can be set as you want in the option.
