The PUBG 'Welcome To Sanhok' Video Showcases The New Map, Complete Patch Notes

Players who had no time or couldn't test the new map and its tropical features, will now be able to do so! PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is dropping the new map, with all of its changes, on June 22. The new video released by the developer is showcasing everything players can look forward to.
 

If the new video is not enough to quench your PUBG needs, we also have the new patch notes for you, there is so much new content! There are changes to the UI, new weapons and much more. If you want to look at it straight from the source, here is the Steam page.
 

• Sanhok is 4km x 4km map (one fourth the size of Erangel or Miramar). Although games tend to end a little more quickly on this tiny island, battles are still massive. Every game still features 100 players.
• Certain settings have been customized specifically for Sanhok to better fit its unique design. Details are below.
• Performance
• Faraway players and vehicles aren’t rendered the same way on Sanhok, resulting in some server performance improvements.
• Gameplay
• Weather in Sanhok changes dynamically.
• Players can throw apples while waiting to board the plane in the in-game lobby.
• Redzone
• The redzone is smaller and shorter-lasting on Sanhok.
• The center of the redzone appears outside of the playzone (the white circle). This means players are more at risk when outside of the playzone.
• Bluezone
• Bluezone on Sanhok has shorter waiting times and longer travel times.
• The bluezone is also dynamic. It checks remaining player numbers before deciding the next circle, adjusting the waiting time and travel time accordingly (this doesn’t affect circle size).
• Spawn Balance
• The item spawn rules have been customized on Sanhok to get you equipped for battle faster.
• ARs, SMGs, and DMRs are spawned more often. The total item spawn rate has been increased 5% compared to that found in the fourth round of Sanhok testing.
• 8x scopes and 15x scopes don’t spawn on Sanhok. However, they may still be obtained from care packages.

• Cave - Here you’ll find an abandoned archaeological site, located in the heart of a seaside cave. Parachute in through the open top for access to the best loot and a boat for a quick escape.
• Ruins - Only the most daring players will brave these claustrophobic chambers. The Ruins reward those who survive the close-quarters combat with all the loot they can carry. Drop onto the roof to storm the temple from above, or sneak in through the ground-level tunnels.
• Paradise Resort - Welcome to Paradise, Sanhok's finest (and only) luxury resort. This compound has it all: cross-courtyard sightlines for snipers, thrilling room-to-room breaches for shotgun specialists, and mid-ranged corridors that are perfect for honing your SMG skills. Checkout is at 11:00.
• Training Center - Measure yourself against the best of the best in this abandoned training facility. Survive a tactical obstacle course to get loaded up with loot. Either get good or die trying.
• Quarry - This flooded limestone quarry is a both a visual, and tactical departure from the lush, green wilds of Sanhok. With few trees for cover, you’ll have to push from mound to mound, looting and hunting while vulnerable to players on the rim of the quarry.
• Docks - Explore cargo ships filled with loot in this out-of-the way drop, located in the Southeast corner of Sanhok. With plenty of opportunities for mid-range to CQC encounters, this is a terrific drop for newer players hoping to get their bearings, farm up, and escape!
• Roads - Some areas in Sanhok are now paved with old concrete roads. Watch out for campers and use these to outrace the blue zone!

• Characters models
• Vehicles
• Weapons

• The Bengal Tiger parachute skin is unchanged and when equipped will replace the default skin

• The QBZ is an AR that uses 5.56mm rounds. It can hold 30 rounds per magazine, and can be extended to 40 rounds.
• The QBZ replaces the SCAR-L in Sanhok’s item spawn pool (meaning the SCAR-L no longer spawns on Sanhok). The QBZ spawns about 1.4x as often as the SCAR-L used to spawn on Sanhok.

• Accuracy modifiers applied from moving, changing movement stances or aiming modes are no longer applied instantly.
• This means that for example, when aiming down the sight, you won't gain the full accuracy improvements from ADS until your sights are aligned.
• The winning player or team will now be given approximately 8 seconds to celebrate their victory before the match ends and results are displayed.
• Spectators can also watch the winning player or team celebrate.

• The minimap can now be expanded

• The loading screen has been modified to display game-related tips

• Plane engine sound volume when beginning the match has been decreased
• The volume of sounds made by bodies of water (oceans, rivers) has been decreased
• Care package plane's volume attenuation curve is now steeper. This means the distance at which the plane can be heard is the same, but the distance at which the plane's maximum sound can be heard has been decreased
• The sound effect made when throwables impact water has been improved
• All weapon sounds have been remastered for better quality
• Excessive boost effect in low frequency range has been adjusted.
