PUBG Battleground Season 13.1 update will launch a series of updates on Teego’s recently released map, which is set in the 1980s in South Korea. The Chief among these updates is the introduction of the Tagogo Room, which will occasionally appear on the map and contains other gears that Survivors can find.
However, players will need to find the secret key before reaching the Secret Room. Season 13 also introduces a new ranked season, adjustments to the Sanhok map, new Taego features and more.
What’s New in PUBG Battleground Season 13.1 Update

- Taego Tweaks: In addition to the aforementioned Secret Room, Taego will see an increase in the number of Air Drops to ensure all players have a greater chance to acquire valuable loot. The map will also see the introduction of plane Emergency Landings at the start of some matches.
