New Mode: PAYDAY

Original Post (pubg.com)

https://preview.redd.it/sxukab0c2v0h1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=70504edbd44760d96586d62b9c1f3bb6b83aa63c

Breach, loot, and pull off a clean escape!

In collaboration with PAYDAY developer Starbreeze Entertainment, the new PvE mode “PAYDAY” has arrived in PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS. On the battlegrounds of PUBG, plan and execute the perfect heist with your team, secure the loot, and make your escape.

New Mode: PUBG x PAYDAY Gameplay Trailer | PUBG

■ Mode Overview

  • PAYDAY is a co-op PvE mode for up to 4 players.
  • Players must complete various objectives, secure loot, fend off security forces, and make a successful escape.
  • Each heist follows a structured flow: Preparation → Infiltration → Objective Completion → Loot Securing → Survival & Escape.
  • Adapt your strategy by choosing between stealth and combat depending on the situation.

■ How to Access

  • Go to Play > Arcade > PAYDAY to enter and start matchmaking.
  • You can form a team by playing solo, inviting friends, or using auto matchmaking.
  • Once all players are ready after entering the lobby, the game starts.

■ General Flow

  • Complete objectives to find loot and escape while fighting off security forces.
  • Use stealth to get ahead when possible, and fight as a team when things get loud!
  • Secondary weapons have unlimited ammo and are silenced for stealth, but primary weapon ammo must be refilled with ammo bags or class abilities.
  • Beware of special enemies with unique abilities that can catch you off guard.

■ Safehouse (Lobby & Preparation Area)

  • The Safe House is where players prepare before the heist begins. After matchmaking, players enter this area, where they can select classes and weapons, and vote for the desired heist and difficulty.
  • Once the match starts, the players will spawn in an Safehouse.
  • In the Safehouse, players can:
    • Vote for the heist and difficulty
    • Select class and weapon
  • The heist and difficulty with the most votes are applied. If no selection is made, they are chosen randomly.
  • After the time limit, the game starts automatically. If all players gather in the ready area, the mission can start earlier.

■ Heist

  • Diamond District
    • Ha! A veritable buffet of diamonds in fancy stores. Go in quietly, or go in loud. It's your call.

https://preview.redd.it/23zxnsve2v0h1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=0ae6c30109385e976352f73d6c8f6862e4e63a60

  • The Exchange
    • Slush funds and laundered cash. The kind corporations keep hidden. This money exchange is a perfect target. Time to crack open their vault.

https://preview.redd.it/0mnh38hf2v0h1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=c07b798d60e37f18e8d4cb217e9d16f8b8bd8ce0

  • Nightclub
    • Nice night for clubbing, yeah? You after a quiet drink or a full-blown party? Either way, once you're in, you're set.

https://preview.redd.it/vk8kfdzf2v0h1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=22bd8122596afc3ea449a55ee648e4f29cbf2a7b

  • Road Rage
    • We've got the time and place. Let's stop those armored trucks and clean 'em out. Get ready, we're going in guns blazing!

https://preview.redd.it/9q8essjg2v0h1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=76f9465d238cc95bf5d284aabcdbbcca7fe12288

■ Class

Each class has unique abilities, skills and weapons that you can unlock by securing more loot.

https://preview.redd.it/jpr2yj7h2v0h1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=4e1c5ceadf1cc289024358917119622433c310c3

Assault

Specializes in automatic fire and high damage output, equipped with armor that can withstand heavy hits.

https://preview.redd.it/uqcu8uuh2v0h1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=f5ec45446c4217a82adac6592e613ac9d3acddc6

Support

Provides damage buffs, health recovery, and improved defense to teammates. Serves as the backbone of the team's support system with medium armor and lower firepower.

https://preview.redd.it/u1iuo1gi2v0h1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=6910a5ceb065b704340153c1d22872f0618ade13

Tank

Excels in close-range engagements, drawing enemy fire and absorbing heavy damage. Attacks are slower but hit hard.

https://preview.redd.it/528ttrwi2v0h1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=c45ccf59b02b76d7a000a2f4593bb95ba5bc3099

Marksman

Delivers precise, high-damage shots from range, thinning enemy lines with accuracy.

https://preview.redd.it/qb0poygj2v0h1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=9f14ca8af2744808fd5d669745aca3546e8cbecb

Ghost

Uses small-caliber weapons and light armor to flank enemies in tactical engagements. Hit-and-run tactics keep teammates agile and aware.

■ Mission Progression

  • Players must break into target locations to prepare for the main objectives and solve various heist missions.
  • Follow objectives and markers to progress through the heist. Secure loot and level up your class.
  • Assault & Regrouping Phases
    • Enemies attack continuously during the Assault Phase and temporarily retreat during the Regroup Phase.
    • Enemies will continuously spawn in large numbers, and enemies with special abilities may also appear.

■ Security System

  • Security systems and objective locations are randomly placed.
  • The security system consists of patrolling guards and stationary security cameras
  • During stealth, it is important to push as far as possible within the time limit.The detection circle shows how close you are to being spotted. When full, enemies sound the alarm. Stay crouched and use your secondary weapon.
  • If a guard hears suspicious activity, they will investigate. Direct visual detection triggers the alarm.
  • Taking out enemies or destroying security cameras increases the Suspicion Score. Reaching the maximum triggers the alarm.
  • Taking out a guard leaves behind an evidence bag. If it is seen by security cameras or other guards, the alarm is triggered. Dispose of it in a dumpster to hide it.
  • Enemies detect players over time if they remain in their line of sight. Detection is slower while crouching and faster while running.
  • Once detected or when the alarm is triggered, the heist shifts into combat stage.

■ Resources & Survival

  • Health is a limited resource and must be managed carefully.
  • Ammo can be resupplied at specific locations (supply points) or through class abilities.
  • Some classes have equipment specialized for healing and support.
  • Each class has a different secondary weapon that is silenced. You can fire it without alerting guards.

■ Rewards and Progression

  • Players earn 100% XP on mission success and 20% XP on failure.
  • Rewards are determined based on the amount of collected loot, mission success, and selected difficulty.

  • Secret Rooms containing high-value items have been added throughout Miramar.
  • Secret Rooms can be accessed using the world-spawned Secret Room Keys.
  • Available in Normal and Custom Matches.

Gameplay

New Feature: Execution with Melee Weapons

You can now execute downed enemies using melee weapons.

https://preview.redd.it/8reiaavwnn0h1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=f91d9bc48e2bc94c1d956bbd5f323b8eae0bc0e3

  • Available Melee Weapons : Machete, Sickle, Crowbar, Pan
  • Targets : Downed Enemies
    • Downed enemies cannot be inside a vehicle or being carried by another player.
  • How to Execute: Hold the interaction key (F) on a downed enemy.
  • Once the Execution initiated, the animation cannot be canceled. The action will be interrupted if the executing player dies or is displaced during the animation.

Developer’s Comment:

As introduced in our Roadmap video, PUBG in 2026 is bringing “Execution” animations to deliver a more stylish combat experience. This new action feature provides a more impactful way to eliminate enemies using melee weapons.

Previously, finishing off downed enemies often felt repetitive and lacked variety. With this update, players now have an additional tactical option beyond gunfire: executing enemies with melee weapons for a more satisfying combat finish.

The Execution feature is designed as an expandable feature rather than one-time additional content. While it launches with four melee weapons, we plan to continue expanding the system with additional weapons and themed animations to broaden both expression and gameplay choices.

Moving forward, we’ll continue enhancing the excitement and expressiveness of combat while preserving PUBG’s signature tension and intensity.

Blue Chip Tower Supply Call Improvements

Before After
Supply Call Cost 2 enemy Blue Chips → 4 enemy Blue Chips (after April 15 ~) 2 enemy Blue Chips
Supply Call Appearance Standard-sized Supply Drops (Same as Flare Gun Care Package) Mini-sized Supply Drops (Same as Emergency Support Flare Care Package)
Delivery Method Dropped after supply plane arrival Instantly delivered without a supply plane
Casting Time 10 seconds 15 seconds
  • Supply Drops are no longer delivered by plane, reducing the drop spread area.
  • The time between completing the cast and receiving the supply crate has been reduced.
  • The number of items obtainable from the supply crate has been reduced.
  • The drop rates for items obtainable from the supply crate have been lowered.

Developer’s Comment:

The Blue Chip Tower Supply Call feature added in Update 41.1 was introduced to provide players with more tactical options beyond reviving teammates during combat situations.

However, following the update, the feature was used more frequently than anticipated, resulting in increased acquisition of supply weapons and fatigue caused by frequent airplane sounds.

To address this, we implemented overall balance adjustments on April 15 to make Supply Drop Call-ins a more strategic choice. The required number of Blue Chips was increased from 2 to 4 to reduce usage frequency, while the supply crate composition and item probabilities were adjusted to lower reward expectations.

With Update 41.2, we’ve reworked the feature once again based on player feedback. To keep Supply Drop Call-ins accessible without making them overly mandatory, we lowered the cost back to 2 Blue Chips while increasing the casting time and reducing item acquisition rates.

Additionally, supply drops are now delivered instantly without a plane, helping reduce noise fatigue during matches.

Through these improvements, we hope Supply Drop Call-ins become an optional tactical tool rather than a mandatory gameplay element. We will continue monitoring gameplay data and making balance adjustments accordingly.

Developer’s Comment:

As introduced in the PUBG Roadmap 2026, we’re excited to launch Rumble with the 41.2 Update.

Rumble was designed to provide a competitive experience without the pressure typically associated with Ranked tiers. By removing concerns over rank loss, players can focus on experimenting with strategies and achieving success through teamwork.

Additionally, we wanted to emphasize the experience of “surviving together until the very end,” which is why Survival Time contributes to scoring alongside aggressive playstyles. We hope this encourages not only combat-focused gameplay but also strategic decision-making.

Going forward, we will continue improving Rumble as a recurring weekend experience based on player feedback and participation data.
