New Weapon: Mortar
The new Taego weapon Mortar is easy to use in combat situations, but it can take a lot of practice to achieve reasonable accuracy. First, you must calculate the distance to the target and the expected movement path, so calculate carefully. Once you get used to it, it can be helpful to attack behind ridges where grenades can’t reach or when defending specific areas. Also, it can be effective when destroying vehicles. In particular, you can use various strategies in cooperative play, so be sure to use them in battle!
Once looted, it takes up a primary slot.
Deployment
It can only be deployed on flat surfaces.
It cannot be deployed on cement, iron, concrete, water, or wooden floors, or inside buildings.
Press RT (Xbox/Stadia)/R2 (PlayStation) button to deploy the Mortar.
Press X (Xbox/Stadia)/▢ (PlayStation) to cancel deployment.
Requires three seconds for deployment.
Firing
The character crouches automatically once the firing mode gets activated.
The character cannot move until the firing mode gets released.
You must have ammo in the inventory to fire.
There is a one-second delay between fires.
Modes

Custom Match
Not included in Ranked Season 14
Spawn
Mortar and ammo both spawn inside buildings.
Does not spawn in Supply Crates or Secret Rooms.
It can shoot between 121m to 700m in distance.
New Weapon: M79
Our new M79 is a smoke grenade launcher that was created to provide quick smoke cover on longer ranges. Blind your enemies, cover your downed teammate or make a grand escape from a losing battle!
New Weapon: M79 can be found, not only in Taego but across all eight maps.
Weapon slot: Pistol slot
Cannot be used in a vehicle’s driver’s seat.
New ammo type: 40mm Smoke Grenade
Once it hits an object that’s more than 10m far away, the projectile will release the first smoke effect followed by a second one a few seconds later.
Once it hits an object that’s less than 10m far away but fails to explode on impact, only the second smoke effect will be released after 3 seconds.
Weight: 14
Max stack size: 5
World spawns in stacks of 1 to 3.
World spawns in stacks of 2 to 3 along with the M79.

World spawn
Damage to enemies: 0
Max firing range: 400m
Reloading speed: 3.5 – 4 seconds
New Feature: DBNO Swimming
To improve the survivability of players inside water, we are now supporting DBNO Swimming. Previously a player who enters DBNO while in the water would skip DBNO and instantly die. This made any deep water a hazardous area to traverse. Now a player will instead enter Swimming DBNO, a slow swimming state which gives the player a chance to reach the shore and be revived by teammates. Hopefully, you’ll feel more confident next time you get into a Boat or swim across that river!
DBNO Players can swim for at half of the normal speed.
The air a player has in their lungs is not reset when entering DBNO, so a player who was drowning will continue to drown in DBNO.
In DBNO a player is constantly losing HP. combined with drowning HP loss this means that a DBNO player will die within 10 seconds underwater.
Reviving underwater is impossible, and any ongoing revive is canceled when either player goes underwater or moves around too much.
It is possible to revive a swimming DBNO player while floating on the water.
World
Taego’s New Creature: Chicken
We are proud to introduce the Chicken, a new creature that will hopefully amuse many players during fierce combats in Taego! “Chicken? Why the heck?” you might wonder. The answer to this question is left to your imaginations.
Three different conditions apply:
Calm
This is the default state and, at the same time, the most stable emotional state. Calm as a monk, and nothing special.
Fear
The Chickens fly, not, run for their lives in the following situations.
When hearing
Death
Sadly, there’s an end to everything. Taego’s amuser also passes away once hit. They take damages from guns and grenades, then turn into fried chicken upon death. Sorry, a bad joke, they go to where we all go.

UI/UX Improvements
Krafton ID in PUBG Lobby (Read More About Krafton ID)
We will add a button to the Profile Overview page to link your PUBG account and Krafton ID.
With the update, the PUBG account can be linked directly with Krafton ID from the lobby.
Profile Overview
Previously, the Career page was used as the profile screen. It was difficult for players to recognize their status at a glance, and it was also challenging to identify which player they were when viewing other players’ profiles. That’s why we want to provide you with a profile overview where you can see at a glance the current state of yourself and other players. Here, you can show off your fashion sense and skin!
You can check the summary of your current season stats in “Career” → “Overview”.
You can check the last played match mode, team mode, and season summary information at the time of the current season.
Current survival level, last killed weapon mastery information, and last obtained medal information is displayed.
The summary of the player’s season stats will be visible in other players’ profiles.
Previous records, adding friends, and inviting teams are possible in the same way as in the previous record profile.
You can edit emblems, nameplates, character poses, and medals.
It may take some time after a match for the stats to be reflected.
