NEW FEATURE: DBNO SWIMMING
To improve the survivability of players inside water, we are now supporting DBNO Swimming. Previously a player who enters DBNO while in the water would skip DBNO and instantly die. This made any deep water a hazardous area to traverse. Now a player will instead enter Swimming DBNO, a slow swimming state which gives the player a chance to reach the shore and be revived by teammates. Hopefully, you’ll feel more confident next time you get into a Boat or swim across that river!
- DBNO Players can swim for at half of the normal speed.
- The air a player has in their lungs is not reset when entering DBNO, so a player who was drowning will continue to drown in DBNO.
- In DBNO a player is constantly losing HP. combined with drowning HP loss this means that a DBNO player will die within 10 seconds underwater.
- Reviving underwater is impossible, and any ongoing revive is canceled when either player goes underwater or moves around too much.
- It is possible to revive a swimming DBNO player while floating on the water.
WORLD
We are proud to introduce the Chicken, a new creature that will hopefully amuse many players during fierce combats in Taego! “Chicken? Why the heck?” you might wonder. The answer to this question is left to your imaginations.
- Three different conditions apply:
- Calm
- This is the default state and, at the same time, the most stable emotional state. Calm as a monk, and nothing special.
- Fear
- The Chickens fly, not, run for their lives in the following situations.
- When hearing
- Punching
- Footsteps (except prone sound)
- Gunshots
- Engine and exhaust sounds
- Other creatures die
- When hearing
- The Chickens fly, not, run for their lives in the following situations.
- Death
- Sadly, there’s an end to everything. Taego’s amuser also passes away once hit. They take damages from guns and grenades, then turn into fried chicken upon death. Sorry, a bad joke, they go to where we all go.
- Calm

PROFILE OVERVIEW
Previously, the Career page was used as the profile screen. It was difficult for players to recognize their status at a glance, and it was also challenging to identify which player they were when viewing other players’ profiles. That’s why we want to provide you with a profile overview where you can see at a glance the current state of yourself and other players. Here, you can show off your fashion sense and skin!
- You can check the summary of your current season stats in “Career” → “Overview”.
- You can check the last played match mode, team mode, and season summary information at the time of the current season.
- Current survival level, last killed weapon mastery information, and last obtained medal information is displayed.
- The summary of the player’s season stats will be visible in other players’ profiles.
- Previous records, adding friends, and inviting teams are possible in the same way as in the previous record profile.
