Overview of Update 38.1:

Skibidi Toilet Collaboration: Just in time for spooky season, PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS is teaming up with the globally popular YouTube animation IP Skibidi Toilet for a special PvE Arcade mode. Players will face waves of Toilet bosses in a 4-player squad format across Miramar, earning Chemical Cans to upgrade their loadouts in the next match. A special Event Pass: Skibidi Toilet will also be available, featuring themed rewards. The event runs from October 22 to November 5 on PC, and from October 30 to November 13 on Console.

New Contender Character: Following the debut of the Contender system earlier this year, Dorian takes the spotlight as its second official addition. A heavy-metal guitarist who sees the Battlegrounds as the ultimate stage to complete his sonic masterpiece, Dorian can be unlocked and upgraded via the Workshop, allowing players to personalize emotes, kill effects, Dive Trails, and appearances.

Gunplay and System Updates: The update also introduces broad gameplay improvements, including reduced SMG hip-fire accuracy, MP5K and Panzerfaust balance adjustments, lower vehicle damage to passengers, new destructible terrain on Miramar, and Recall System refinements to keep late-game play more balanced.
