PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) has just released the PUBG 25.1 update, packed with fresh content and gameplay improvements to keep players engaged.
This update introduces the much-awaited Dragunov weapon, map updates for Miramar, and innovative gameplay elements, among other exciting additions. Let’s dive into all of these amazing details!
The eyesore of the PUBG 25.1 update: Dragunov
One of the highlights of PUBG Update 25.1 is the introduction of the Dragunov, the world’s first designated marksman rifle (DMR) in the game. This powerful weapon uses 7.62mm ammunition and has the potential to deal high damage, similar to a sniper rifle. Players can experience thrilling moments with the Dragunov, as it has a chance to take down enemies with a single shot. However, it comes with challenges, such as hefty recoil and a slower firing rate, requiring players to demonstrate steady aiming and quick reflexes to fully utilize its potential.
The Dragunov is equipped with a 15x Scope, making it an effective weapon for long-range engagements. It can be found on every map and mode, except in the Bluebomb Rush mode. PUBG’s development team aims to create unique gameplay experiences with the introduction of the Dragunov, encouraging players to try out this new weapon and provide feedback to further refine its balance and gameplay dynamics.
Miramar map updates
PUBG’s iconic desert map, Miramar, receives significant updates in PUBG 25.1 update. The map now features new areas like Partona, a vibrant village with bustling markets and plazas, and the majestic Resort, perched on a hill with a breathtaking view of the southern seascape. Additionally, Truck Stop, an oasis for resting trucks, and the resource management facility Cantera, are now part of the map, providing players with fresh looting opportunities and exciting combat scenarios.
Furthermore, Miramar experiences the arrival of a new weather effect called Hazy, adding an immersive desert experience for players. The Sandstorm has replaced the Red Zone in Miramar, gradually depleting players’ health, obstructing visibility, and generating static electricity that affects electronic equipment.
The addition of Ziplines allows players to swiftly navigate through various locations, offering strategic advantages and diversifying gameplay possibilities.
Ranked Mode improvements
The PUBG 25.1 update brings changes to the Ranked Mode, featuring adjustments to map rotations and the distribution of Multi Care Packages on the Taego map. The leaderboard resets after the update, and players can check their final Tier from the previous season to receive corresponding rewards, such as animated PUBG ID Emblems and Ranked Parachute Skins.
Collaboration with Aston Martin
PUBG is elevating players’ in-game experience with a collaboration with luxury carmaker Aston Martin. Players can obtain exclusive Aston Martin special vehicle skins, adding an unparalleled level of sophistication to their gameplay.
Team Suggest feature and Clan updates
To facilitate team formation, PUBG introduces the Team Suggest feature, which recommends potential teammates from a pool of friends, Clan members, and recently played players. Clan Tags are now visible in various in-game areas, enhancing the sense of community within the game.
PUBG 25.1 update brings a myriad of exciting features and improvements, making the game even more immersive and engaging for players.
