Here are the notes and updates for PUBG Patch 11.2

PUBG’s upcoming Patch 11.2 is now available and ready to play on the test servers ahead of its official launch next week.

The update includes the introduction of a new Survivor Pass system, no longer linked in time and theme to the season, thus giving more options for content, duration, and how many passes release every year. The first in line is the Pajama Party Pass, which is expected to kick off on April 28.

Erangel, the game’s original battleground, is also receiving a rework with changes to both Military Island bridges, allowing players more options to mount an assault or set up defenses on the island.

Here’s the full list of changes for Patch 11.2

Erangel map changes

Last year, the devs asked players which locations on Erangel could be improved, or changed to improve gameplay. After taking feedback into consideration, this update focuses on introducing changes to the main chokepoints between the Erangel mainland and Sosnovka island.

This rework brings structural changes to the bridges and includes the addition of new defendable positions. Catwalks underneath will help fend off attacks, including those from the water, and also double as a new avenue of attack to mount an assault on bridge campers.

• The two bridges connecting Sosnovka Island and the Erangel mainland have had major changes, including additional cover and widening of the bridges

• Catwalks have been added, providing additional avenues to both defend and attack from

• The dump truck has been repositioned

Other map changes

• 4th Anniversary Graffiti Contest graffiti has been removed

Survivor Pass: Pajama Party

The Pajama Party pass kicks off the devs’ new way of releasing passes, which are no longer linked “in time” and “theme” to the season. This gives the devs more options for content, duration, and how many passes release per year.

• Survivor Pass: Pajama Party can be purchased within two different item packages
• PAJAMA PARTY WEAPON PACK (990 G-Coin).
  • Premium Pass and The Big Sleep – AUG weapon skin.
• PAJAMA PARTY WEAPON AND LEVEL PACK (3270 G-Coin).
  • Premium Pass and The Big Sleep – AUG weapon skin and Lv.30 coupon
• Survivor Pass: Pajama Party provides over 30 rewards as players progress through 50 levels
  • You can earn XPs by playing matches and completing missions. Additional levels can also be purchased with G-CoinSurvivor Pass: Pajama Party has the following mission types
  • Daily Missions, Weekly Missions, Challenge Missions
• Survivor Pass: Pajama Party will begin on April 28 at 9pm CT and end on June 9 at 9pm CT
  • Claim your rewards before the pass ends, as there is no longer an additional grace period to claim rewards once the season ends

Gameplay and balance

Drive-by shooting balance adjustment

Several patches ago, the devs introduced quality of life changes to improve “stability” and “overall smoothness” of aiming while in vehicles. In this patch, the devs want to encourage vehicular combat, while also ensuring balance and allowing for “proper counter-play.”

• In-vehicle recoil has been increased by 10 percent
• This change does not apply to sidearms

Reputation system balance adjustment

The devs have looked closely at aspects of the reputation system which have “caused frustration” and made additional changes to prevent players abusing the report mechanic, which had allowed players acting maliciously to lower another player’s reputation unfairly.

• Spamming multiple reports through the replays system no longer unfairly impact the targeted player’s reputation level compared to regular reports
• Set an upper limit to the amount of reputation loss per match to prevent misuse, especially in situations where multiple pre-made squad members report their random teammate

The devs have also made the following changes to speed-up the process of improving your reputation with good behavior:

• Increased the potential number of reputation points available for player’s with reputation level one or below
  • Also increased available reputation points for players at reputation level four

SLR muzzle update

• The Flash Hider model on the SLR has had major improvements to its visuals

  • Increased size of the map images
  • Improved icon design for Last 20 Match Stats details
  • View Report is now displayed only when hovering over each match entry
  • Your Placement Trend is now displayed as a line graph, rather than a bar graph to give a more clear picture of your results
• Replaced Avg Kills with K/D Ratio
• Added Assists to the list of recorded stats
  • Assists have also been added to Match Reports

Performance improvements

• Improved client performance by disabling certain voice chat related features when voice chat is disabled
• Improved client FPS stability through a reduction in hitches related to optimization work
• Optimized CPU performance by adding additional multi-threaded rendering support
• Optimized CPU performance through animation optimization.
• Optimized some server and client performance pipelines to reduce both server and client hitches
