Leave a comment

PUBG Corporation released today Title Update 34.1 for PUBG: Battlegrounds, and shared its full patch notes. So, let’s see what this new patch brings to the table.

Title Update 34.1 improves access to the 1v1 Arena. Players are now able to enter battles directly through Arcade mode and spawn straight into the arena. The rules remain unchanged, ensuring a seamless and competitive experience. Additionally, players can now host 1v1 duels via Custom Matches.

This new patch also brings adjustments to several firearms to refine combat. The 7.62mm ammunition is now lighter, allowing players to carry more rounds. Shotguns have received changes to buckshot spread, recoil, and damage drop-off, improving close-quarters balance. Meanwhile, the Mk12’s recoil has been increased to reduce its dominance in long-range engagements.

Players can also expect some vehicle enhancements. For instance, 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 for better performance across rough terrain.

And there is more. A brand-new Ranked Season kicks off with Update 34.1, bringing fresh challenges and rewards. Plus, the update comes with various bug fixes and optimizations to further ensure a smoother gameplay experience.

Like always, Steam will download this patch the next time you launch its client. Below you can also find its complete changelog.
