Weapon Balance- Developers are back with another weapon balance in this update to provide each weapon type a chance to shine in tactical battles and to prevent scenarios where players are all holstering the identical, overperforming weapon.

- Damage drop-off range: The distance at which the weapon’s damage starts to decrease from its maximum damage percentage.

M416

Damage increase: 40 → 41
Initial bullet speed increase: 780m/s → 880m/s
Damage drop-off range increased: 50m → 60m

MK12

Damage increase: 50 → 51
Damage drop-off range increased: 75m → 90m
The Mk12 will now spawn in every available map (Normal and Ranked).
- The spawn settings in Custom Matches have been applied accordingly.

UI/UX

FRIENDS LIST

The Previous List from the Friends List has been moved to a separate tab.
- PUBG Friends / Platform Friends / Previous List
(Consoles) The default selection is placed on the page’s very first player.
- Applied to Friends List, Friend Requests, and Recent Players.
(Consoles) The selection remains in its current spot when lists are refreshed.
- Applied to Friends List, Friend Requests, Recent Players, and Team Finder.

MATCH REPORT

The Summary tab in the Match Report page now shows players’ combat records of kills and DBNOs.

QOL (PC ONLY)

To make it more convenient for players to use shortcut keys for sprays, the Emote Shortcut setting will now have the option to activate spray items as well.
- The name for this option will be updated in the next 16.2 Update.
The spray items’ spraying distance has increased.

PERFORMANCE

Unnecessary in-game assets, widgets, sounds, and animations have been removed from each game mode and platform to enhance in-game stability and loading speed.

ANTI-CHEAT (TEST SERVER ONLY)

A solution to the commonly reported cheat software ESP (that shows other players’ locations) we’ve been working on will be initially tested on this update’s Test Server.
To prevent possible issues such as enemy movements appearing awkward from afar to severely shaking character animations to spectating from underwater from occurring, the Death Cam and Replay features in this update’s Test Server will be disabled.
Once this solution is concluded to be stable and safe to use, we will discuss implementing them to the Live Server.
