PUBG - LABS: Respawn Royale

Posted: 28 Apr 2021 01:38 AM PDT

Hello Survivors!

This round of PUBG LABS utilizes two different gameplay changes to create a frantic experience for squads on Paramo. The first of which is a 500% damage increase across the board for all weapons and throwables in order to create a one-shot-kill scenario. But fear not, though dying may be easy, so is getting back into the game!

In Respawn Royale, your defeated squadmates will automatically rejoin the fight after their 100 second death timer has counted down. All you need to do is stay alive as a squad until that happens! If at least 1 squad member is still standing when a player's death timer completes, they will rejoin the fight but be careful - if your squad is wiped completely, you'll all be eliminated from the match.

Respawn Royale takes place on Paramo with you and up to 7 other squads. To help keep the focus on the action, we've also eliminated weapon looting and added the choice of three different spawn kits. This kit can be changed each time you respawn, so keep an eye on the situation your remaining team members find themselves in. The Blue Zone will also still function as normal, so keep on the move!

Weapon Damage

In Respawn Royale, the damage of firearms, melee weapons, and throwables are increased by 500% in order to provide a one-shot one-kill experience.

Update 11.2 - Now Live!

Posted: 28 Apr 2021 01:32 AM PDT

PUBG Update 11.2 has just dropped, bringing new changes to Erangel's infamous bridges, a new Survivor Pass, balance changes to recoil while riding in a vehicle and more!

First up, you'll notice Erangel's bridges to Sosnovka Island looking a bit different this update. Bridges have been slightly widened, had their cover layout changed slightly, and now have new catwalks to give players more options for engaging or avoiding bridge encounters.

Our new Survivor Pass embraces the outfits we've lived in this pandemic year and brings them to the Battlegrounds with Survivor Pass: Pajama Party. Pick up your pass and start unlocking your favorite work-from-home attire today!

Firing from vehicles has gotten a bit more challenging this update, with a 10% increase to recoil. The goal is to make driveby attacks a bit more difficult, but we'll continue to monitor success rates to see if we need to adjust it any more either way.

PUBG Labs is also launching a new game mode with this update! In Respawn Royale, every shot is lethal but death is not the end. As long as your squad survives long enough, you have a chance to respawn back in and continue the fight. Can your squad outlast and win?

There's plenty more in Update 11.2, so be sure to read the full patch notes[www.pubg.com] for all the details. That's all for now and we'll see you on the Battlegrounds!
