Season 8 is winding down, but we’ve got a few more big improvements to drop before we’re out of the jungle. Update 8.3 brings a new Ferry system to Erangel, a new item that can temporarily negate Bluezone damage, two new Team Deathmatch stages on Sanhok, a number of bug and hitching fixes, and more. We’ve even, at long last, added destructible haystacks to Miramar! Read on for info in all this and more coming with Update 8.3.

Live Maintenance Schedule:

PDT: 23/SEP/2020 22:00 – 04:00 (6 hours)

CEST: 24/SEP/2020 07:00 – 13:00 (6 hours)

Live maintenance schedule may change. We will update you if there are any changes made.

The full patch notes are below, so let’s get right into it.

Stadia

On Oct. 6, the Stadia mouse and keyboard matchmaking pool will be closed. Since launch, Stadia has given us the ability to reach a wider audience for new and returning players on an additional platform. As the service evolved, we found that a predominant amount of our players preferred to play with a controller. Due to this, we’ve decided to focus on the Stadia controller matchmaking pool, helping maximize our Battle Royale experience for players and giving them the best experience possible. While the consolidation of both matchmaking pools was explored, we felt that keeping a controller only queue was critical to upholding the competitive integrity of the player experience, as is the case with all our platforms.

New Feature: Erangel Ferries

For those of you wondering what the new docks on Erangel were all about since we added them last update, your ship has come in!

Two new Ferry lines will now carry passengers across the water from Southern Erangel to Sosnovka Island and back. There’s a total of 4 ferries that make round trips throughout the game for those of you not feeling lucky enough to yolo it across the bridge.

• Four Ferries have been added to Erangel
• Ferries allow players to board and travel via two set routes between the Erangel Mainland and Sosnovka Island
  • Each route has two Ferries

• Each Ferry will depart from the docks with the first phase of the Blue Zone.
• Once arriving at a dock, ferries will stay docked for approximately 20 seconds before taking to the sea en route to their destination
  • Ferries will sound a horn 7 secs prior to arrival and departure. Hop aboard!
• Ferries are not available in Ranked Mode or Esports Mode in Custom Matches

New Item: Jammer Pack

We’ve been teasing the Jammer Pack for a while, and it’s finally making its Battlegrounds debut! The Jammer Pack allows you to prevent Blue Zone damage for a short time at the expense of level 3 bag space. For now, the Jammer Pack will only spawn rarely on Sanhok and Karakin in Normal and Custom Matches.

• The Jammer Pack uses its energy to temporarily prevent players from taking damage from the Blue Zone
  • An new energy bar for the Jammer Pack will be displayed on screen once equipped
• Once all energy has been depleted, the Jammer Pack will function only a regular backpack, not giving any protection against the Blue Zone
  • Energy depletes more quickly as the Blue Zone deals more damage
• Available in Normal and Custom Matches as rare world loot spawn on Karakin and Sanhok
• Also obtainable from the Sanhok Loot Truck

New Mode: PUBG Labs – Arena Mode

Introduction

You have looted items and taken out squads after squads for a winner-takes-all showdown; it is this adrenaline rush that was the driving force behind the PUBG craze.

We will continue to introduce new weapons and maps to keep our players excited and engaged and introducing new game modes will be a part of that endeavor. Fellow survivors, we are pleased to announce our newest addition, Arena Mode.
