Over the past 8 years, the pace of gameplay has gotten faster, but many of these older vehicles have stayed largely the same. Some vehicles have also shown significantly better performance compared to others, creating an imbalance. To address this, we’re implementing a comprehensive rebalancing of the older vehicles. By increasing the speed of various vehicles, we aim to match the faster gameplay tempo. At the same time, we’re narrowing the performance gap between vehicles to offer players more diverse options. Additionally, we’re expanding the trunk system to more vehicles, creating opportunities for more dynamic and versatile gameplay. We hope these changes will allow you to experience faster and more diverse gameplay!Dev’s comment: This gunplay update brings a variety of changes. Let’s start with the Mk12, a weapon favored by many players that has maintained high usage and win rates since May 2022. To bring some balance to this situation, we’ve reduced the maximum distance at which the Mk12 can two-tap an opponent, while still preserving its unique ability to eliminate opponents within a certain range with two shots. Additionally, changes such as increased recoil have been made to adjust its usability. For 7.62mm ammo, we’ve reduced its weight to close the gap with the consistently strong-performing 5.56mm ammo weapons. This adjustment aims to address the relative disadvantage of 7.62mm weapons in the current meta, where securing Throwables and managing Inventory space are crucial. We also plan to monitor the data and consider further balancing adjustments for other ARs and DMRs in future updates. As for Shotguns, which received a nerf in Update 28.1, we aim to maintain the overall characteristics and balance while redefining the roles of individual weapons. The S1897, which has shown relatively low win rates despite its high usage, has been adjusted to make it more impactful in combat by improving buckshot spread and reducing pump action time. On the other hand, the S12K, which has demonstrated high win rates, has had its buckshot spread and damage reduced. For the S686, which has both low usage and win rates, we’ve adjusted its buckshot spread to highlight its unique strengths. Meanwhile, the DBS, being the top-tier Care Package weapon, has been buffed to ensure its performance matches its prestigious status. Along with these performance adjustments, we’ve also rebalanced the spawn rates of Shotguns. By narrowing the gap in spawn rates, we hope each Shotgun will be chosen based on its performance and role rather than availability. This update brings a wide range of gunplay adjustments, and we are committed to delivering balance updates every two months throughout 2025. Our goal is to provide players with diverse weapon choices and foster a dynamic, engaging gunplay environment. We look forward to seeing how these changes impact your experience on the Battlegrounds!※ The following changes do not apply to Team Deathmatch or Intense Battle Royale.The 1v1 Arena, previously exclusive to Training Mode, is now being added as a new Arcade mode.
