PUBG 1.81 Patch Notes – October 14, 2021
TAEGO UPDATES
TAEGO WORLD IMPROVEMENTS
Since the introduction of Taego, we have been continuously analyzing the play history to collect information about the overly advantageous areas on the map. As a result, we discovered that some regions of Taego have a relatively high win rate compared to others. After checking the win rate of the most popular combat zones, objects and terrain improvements were made for the areas with a win rate of 75% or more.
Improvements
Added cover to the mountain area north of the Palace and the river area east of the Terminal.
Fixed field of view, bends, and cover for areas where terrain composition is difficult to overcome.
Improved the cliff topography in the north of Buk San Sa area.
Corrected the height of the cliffside terrain, which was considered to be OP.
Reorganization of the topography around the School area.
After removing the surrounding trees, added fields.
Covers and hills have been reorganized.
Terrain improvements in some coastal areas.

Blueline: Removed rocks located around the lighthouse.
Some mountain/river areas:
Green area: Added trees to the hillside.

Sky Blue Zones: Added cover for areas that lack cover.
ERROR SPACE
Introducing the Error Space, this map exclusive feature to Taego allows players to gather other map-exclusive weapons and supplies to be spawned randomly within these zones.
Error Space zones are displayed randomly on the minimap and will be active until the end of the match, so make sure you head to the Error Space early so you don’t miss out!

NEW FEATURE: CARRY
Making its way to the Battlegrounds this update is the new Carry feature. Be the hero your team deserves by risking it all to carry an ally to safety or take a downed enemy on the adventure of a lifetime – before they bleed out, that is.
Ad
There are pros and cons to picking up a downed player. For one, they’ll serve as a sort of human shield, guarding you against some incoming fire (pro for you, con for them…), but in return, you will not be able to sprint, jump, crouch, prone or hurdle, so make sure you choose your rescue route carefully. You can still fire while carrying a player, but your options are reduced to hip fire only. As for the carried player themselves, their bleed-out time will be lowered, and they’ll also be able to spot for you, though their visibility will be limited to whichever way you turn them.
Available on all maps.
You may pick up any downed player (friend or foe) that is not currently self-reviving or being revived.
While carrying a player, the following is true:
The following cannot be used.
Panzerfaust
Melee weapons
Throwables (includes Gas/Jerry Can)
Emergency Pickup
Emergency Parachute
You and the carried player still take damage separately.
Your movement speed remains the same. However, you cannot crouch, go prone, sprint, jump, or hurdle.
You may still fire your weapon, but from the hip only.
You may not use healing items.
You may not use throwables.
While being carried a player, the following is true:
Your field of vision is limited to the direction your carrier is facing you.
Carried players cannot join you in a vehicle.
When the Carrier starts to swim Carry is canceled and the carried person drops/sinks to the bottom.
You cannot attach to an Emergency Pickup while carrying a player.
You may not use an Emergency Parachute while carrying a player.
UI/UX IMPROVEMENTS
NAMEPLATE
We wanted the Nameplate animations to be shown better so we delayed the appearance of emblem, nickname, level, and medal.
The font size was reduced as well.
QOL IMPROVEMENTS
KEY GUIDES
We have improved the key guides for vehicle types and actions (ex. Motorcycle – Lean Back) to provide a more accurate and detailed experience.

Area ratio setting value
