I have had random player on my team do this the entire time they are looting in buildings no where near any enemy. They're just crouch sliding all over the place for no reason at all.

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.

A post trying to address the cheating problem in a more or less novel way, by getting cheaters to talk honestly (I assume anonymously, mostly) was just deleted by mods. That was my impression, anyway, it was the second attempt apparently, and quickly deleted.

Actually having cheaters talk openly and honestly would certainly be a very welcome change from the usual discourse.

The post was perhaps a bit scattered and did not serve itself well by appealing to "freedom of speech", but it was not "low effort" as reasoned by mods for deleting it.

Deleting posts using a lazy excuse, on the other hand, now that’s low effort.

Over the last 10 years i have played PUBG on and off. I genuinely enjoy the game and the thrill of a chicken dinner. Every time i return to PUBG i always binge play it for a few months then i stop. Due to multiple reasons. Family, Friends, Work and it personally gets boring playing the same games all the time or even as I’ve got older sometimes I just stop gaming completely for months. Every time i return to PUBG i get hooked for bit till my next return. Now I’m fortunate to have found a nice balance and have never played the game non stop. My relapses are short lived we can say. As i have always prioritised real life over gaming. But i have noticed throughout the years that some people have let PUBG consume their life almost. The longest break i took from gaming was nearly two years recently. Family and work came first. But even in a two years hiatus I noticed the same names from two years prior. Are they addicted to PUBG and at what cost?

Do you play on a TV or monitor? Do monitor players have an advantage over TV players, and if so, how much?

I play on a TV, and sometimes I feel like certain players kill me in a weird, almost unexplainable way, like they kill me faster than normal. Especially low KD players around 1KD who somehow magically erase me or deal way more unexpected damage than they should, even when I know exactly where they are and peek very quickly or leave cover fast. It often feels like they can see me earlier than I can see them.

Edit: I’m wondering, if I’m playing on a TV and I get into a fight against someone playing on a monitor, does he actually have some kind of advantage over me because of input lag, slower response time, and things like that?

I’m a solo vs squad player with a 4 KD and 600+ average damage over 300+ matches this season(only normal matches, no ranked and no casuals), so it feels unbelievable to me that a brand new 0.5 KD player can sometimes deal way more damage than expected just because he started shooting at me before I even appeared after peek or leaving cover.
