READ NOW: PUBG Season 6 – New map Karakin is coming

Black Zone (Karakin Only)

Our new hazard, the Black Zone only available in Karakin, levels buildings into smoking ruins.

• The Black Zone is designed to push players out of the safety of a building.
• The hazard is random: towns and compounds can be undamaged, totally flattened, and everything in between.
• The mix of buildings and ruins evolves in real time throughout the match: Meaning don’t always expect that building you run to for cover to be there late in the match.
• Remember, if you hear the siren, and you are inside that purple circle on the minimap- evacuate!
• Buildings destroyed by the Black Zone will be marked with X on the minimap.

New Throwable: Sticky Bomb (Karakin Only)

To change up siege play, we’re introducing Breach Points which can be destroyed with Sticky Bombs in Karakin.

• Certain walls and floors have breach points which can be destroyed with Sticky Bombs
• This feature presents more tools for our players: For campers, it allows more sight lines/windows to be created
• For squads going on the offensive however, there are new options for storming buildings- “Do we blast in through the back of the building, or through the roof- maybe both?” the choice is yours!
• And for explorers, we’ve hidden many secret areas for those players with a spare Sticky Bomb or two, and a keen nose for loot

New Vehicle: Motor Glider

Motor Glider is currently available on live servers (added Jan 15). For more information, please see the PUBG LABS Report – Motor Glider.

  • You’ll start to take off automatically once you hit 70 km/h
• Motor Glider’s fuel consumption rate is tied to the engine speed – the more throttle you apply, the faster you will run out of gas
• Motor Glider will be spawned without gas. Fuel up before starting the engine.
