Well, the wait for the new season is over, as the details regarding PUBG Season 7 have been revealed by the developers. The new season is bringing some new content & a lot of enhancements & bug fixes to the game. The game update 7.1 is currently live on PC Test servers which include the updated Vikendi Map.

A lot of changes have been made to Vikendi in the update 7.1. The following list of changes have been made to Vikendi in the latest update : Improved terrain, adjusted snow levels (readjusted on players feedback), changes to cities and landmarks, addition of new multi-track railway system to help navigate the island, and conversion of the quaint Dino Park into Dinoland, the Prehistoric Park of the Future.

Players who want to embrace the culture of Vikendi, Survivor Pass: Cold Front is also available with new missions, rewards, and glimpses into the island’s ill-fated past. For more details, regarding the update 7.1, you can check the details down below.

PUBG 7.1 Update patch notes – Vikendi is back

Better than ever, with updated landmarks, trains and a slight change in season.

  • Trains have been added and can be found moving along multiple tracks across Vikendi
  • There is a major train line that extends along the perimeter of Vikendi, with 6 connected tracks towards the inland areas of the island
  • Trains stop temporarily at train stations across the map

Reduced snow cover

  • Snow cover is reduced more on the Southern areas of the island
  • Snowbikes and Snowmobiles have been removed
  • Motorcycle and Motorcycle with sidecar will spawn instead, being more versatile vehicles for the updated terrain
  • Weather will be either Clear or Snowy.
  • Moonlight has been removed for now, but will return with visual improvements at a later date.
  • General map optimizations have been made
  • You can play the updated Vikendi in custom matches
  • A new Cargo Depot has been added
  • Dino Park has been replaced by the bigger, more spectacular Dinoland
  • Abbey has been relocated to Mount Kreznik
  • Volnova now has much more cover
  • Tovar and Movatra have been removed

To ensure players in all regions are able to have a healthy matchmaking experience, with quick matchmaking times wherever possible, map selection options for each region do vary. Wherever possible, we want players to have the choice of selecting which map they want to play, but our priority is ensuring healthy matchmaking times.

AS, KR/JP, KAKAO, SEA, EU, RU: Full map selection, you can select Vikendi or any other map individually.

NA: Vikendi will be playable via the featured map option, with all other maps being in a separate random map queue. We expect to have Vikendi available as a featured map for 1-2 weeks, but will monitor queue times closely and will return to full random matchmaking earlier if queue times begin to suffer.

OC/LATAM: Vikendi has been added to the random map pool, alongside all other maps.

Survivor Pass: Cold Front

Survivor Pass: Cold Front is your ticket to all the cool new outfits in Season 7. With costumes ranging from Dinoland employee apparel and mascot costumes to other themed looks, there’s something for everyone. Players can also once again unlock community rewards by working together, so be on the lookout for data discs!

Community Missions

  • All players can contribute to the community gauge to unlock videos and receive community skin rewards
  • 1 video, 4 skins can be unlocked by accomplishing the community missions
  • To complete, Loot event items in public (normal) matches
  • As before, the community mission gauge is filled as such:

Disc piece: 1 point
Broken disc: 2 points
Old DVD: 3 points

  • On the Community Mission tab, you can see your personal contribution score and will earn XP towards your Survivor Pass
  • 2000 XP per 50 points contributed

Season Missions

  • There are three tracks of Season Missions
  • Each track will be released monthly in April, May and June
  • Tracks that are locked will show the time left before they are unlocked

Progression Mission

  • Players can earn large amounts of XPs when completing Progression Missions
  • Tracks 1 and 2 are available to all players and contain a set of 8 missions each that increase in difficulty
  • Track 3 is open for Premium Pass holders and contains a set of 10 missions that increase in difficulty
  • Milestones are completed when a set goal is achieved related to daily, weekly, and challenge missions.
  • Example: Complete total number of 50 missions

Challenge Mission

  • These are ‘Survival’ Themed challenge missions
  • Challenge Missions are composed of 16 total missions. Every 4 missions completed will grant a Utility belt and Backpack skin as a reward

Survival Title System

The Survival Title System is being shelved this update, in preparation for a new system making its way in-game in a future update alongside our new Competitive Mode.

Fear not, you can still view all your accrued statistics in the Season tab and if you’re eligible for rewards from Season 6 of the Survival Title System, you’ll receive them once this update hits live servers.

  • Overview and Leaderboard tabs of the Season menu have been removed
  • A new Leaderboard will arrive with the introduction of Competitive Mode in a future update

New Weapon: Mosin-Nagant

We know weapon choice is important to you, but there is also the problem of there eventually being just too much choice, especially when a certain few weapons remain the most popular picks over everything else. We want to keep adding new weapons to the game but at some point finding the exact gun you want would suffer and as the overall list grows, maintaining balance between everything would also become more difficult. Because of this eventuality, we’ve decided to test out the idea of shared stat weapons. For all intents and purposes, the Mosin-Nagant is a Kar98k. The stats, attachments, ammunition, etc. are all directly copied from the Kar98k, but the Mosin will feature its own look and sound. The Mosin-Nagant Sniper Rifle has been added to Vikendi and Erangel, but not in the same way as we have other weapons.

The hope here is to be able to give more weapon diversity without diminishing the availability of the weapons you love to use, but we know a choice like this might be met with mixed feelings. Are more weapons in the game a good thing, even if some of them share stats, or should we be more selective with what we put in and make sure all weapons are unique? The Mosin is coded as its own weapon, so we could always adjust its stats in the future to make it unique, but we’d like to at least test out this idea first.

We’d love your take on this, so please let us know your thoughts.

Performance & Stability

These changes below were implemented to live servers on April 9 during maintenance.

  • Greatly reduced instances of hitching during gameplay. We will continue to make further optimizations where possible
  • Optimized the drop mesh of weapons and attachments in the world to reduce memory usage
  • Reverted new blood effects to version used prior to Update 5.3 due to unresolved crashing issues
  • Reverted blood effects include:
  • Overall visual changes
  • Environmental blood splatter
  • More distinct blood splatters for head and neck shots

The original intention of the blood effect improvements were to provide similar visual effects across all color modes and enable players to get quick information during combat situations from their shots and surrounding environments.

However, we have confirmed an issue with game stability from the updated blood effect features. While we’re happy with the blood effect changes, providing smooth and stable gameplay is our number one priority. Therefore, we’ve made the hard decision to roll back the blood effects to the old effects from before Patch 5.3.

We will update you once we are ready to deploy the improved blood effects again. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this decision.

Quality of Life Improvements

  • Matchmaking can now be cancelled while browsing other menus
  • Slight changes have been made to button placement and visuals
  • Network Debug UI has been cleaned up to be less intrusive while playing

  • Network indicator icons have been removed
  • TDM match results will now show players who’ve recently left the match
  • Quantity button now works correctly when converting Blue Coupons to BP

Other Changes:

  • Slight visual changes to Arcade matchmaking UI to be more consistent with public matches
  • TDM UI has been improved
  • Eliminated decimal points from the scores for better readability
  • Panzerfaust and Mosin-Nagant have been added to Training Mode
  • Tommy Gun’s icon has been updated to reflect the recently added rails

Skin & Items

New skins have been added.

  • Dinoland T-shirts (Available April 22 until July 22)
  • Labor Day skins (Available April 29 until May 27)
