New Feature: Reputation System
Keeping in-game interactions healthy is important to us. We know passions can run high on the Battlegrounds, but toxic behavior is never justified. To help keep things more civil while you kill each other, we’re introducing a new Reputation System to PUBG. This system will assign you a Reputation Level from 0-5 depending on how you treat your fellow players. Your Reputation Level will be displayed in the Team Finder, giving players searching for a group an idea of what kind of teammate you’ll be. Your Reputation Level will naturally increase as you play games, as long as you are not exhibiting toxic or otherwise disruptive behavior. We hope this helps everyone have a better time on the Battlegrounds!
Reputation levels are indicative of perceived player behavior. Are you friendly, or are you toxic? Let’s hope the former.
Reputation level is affected by followings
Players reputation level will naturally increase with normal gameplay of Normal/Ranked Battleroyale matches.
Leaving a match repeatedly failing to return may lead to decrease of reputation level.
Being reported for the suspected use of cheats does not affect reputation level. With that said, reputation levels will be affected greatly after receiving actual bans.
We’re updating Ranked Mode penalties to allow for a certain amount of safe time if your team never fully formed. You can check out all the details around the system and how it works below.
Leaver penalties should be waived for players who leave within 5 minutes after the plane takes off if the player:
(1) chooses for matchmaking to find them teammates AND
(2) the plane takes off with an incomplete team (team of less than 4 players in Ranked squad mode), AND
(3) a member of the player’s premade team hasn’t left the match before the plane leaves.
If a player qualifies to have their leaver penalty waived, then the match is considered to be competitively invalid for that player. This means:
No stats are recorded on their Career page
No change is made to their RP
No matchmaking penalties are issued
Players will be granted any Pass XP and BP they would have earned as normal
Stunt Emotes
And you thought flips were cool. Now you can trigger random stunts while mid-air on the Dirt Bike to really style on your enemies. There are a total of 6 new stunts available and best of all, they’re easy to perform. Simply hold down LMB while in the air on a Dirt Bike and watch how cool you are.
6 new default stunt emotes can be used.
The Stunt Emotes are triggerable only mid-air wile on a Dirt Bike – and when the player is not about to hit something.
