Secret Room Loot by Map: What PUBG’s Patch Notes Describe

An original top-down illustration of five distinct concealed loot-room concepts, including an abandoned mine entrance

PUBG: Battlegrounds patch notes describe secret-room loot differently by map: Taego’s notes name several item types, while Vikendi, Erangel, Rondo and Miramar are described more broadly. These are patch-note descriptions, not a guaranteed shopping list for a room you open today.

Secret-room loot, map by map

Start with the map you are playing, then check what its relevant update actually says. A named item, a broad description and a stated chance are different levels of detail: they should not be treated as interchangeable.

Taego

PC Update 13.1 listed Self AEDs, scopes, healing items and throwables as secret-room loot. It also described a low chance of Care Package items. Console Update 13.1 gave the same list.

That is the most specific loot list in the notes covered here. The Care Package wording is especially important: a low chance is not a promise that one of those items will be in a room. The list also does not confirm which particular scopes or Care Package items you will find.

Vikendi

Update 21.2 described secret rooms holding high-tier items. It said they could be opened with Security Keys found as world spawns, in Normal and Custom Matches.

The initial description does not give a complete item-by-item inventory in the information covered here. A later change to two specific items is worth checking separately below rather than assuming the original description tells the whole story.

Erangel

Update 26.1 described secret rooms containing high-value items. The rooms were entered with keys found as world spawns, and the description applied to Normal and Custom Matches.

“High-value” tells you the kind of reward the update described, but it is not a named loot list. The available notes here do not confirm individual items or their chances for Erangel’s rooms.

Rondo

Update 38.2 described secret rooms containing rare items. A key opens the locked area; opening one of its four doors unlocks all four.

The note gives a useful access detail, but the description “rare items” does not identify an individual reward. It does not establish a complete loot list or an item-by-item chance.

Miramar

Update 41.2 described secret rooms leading into abandoned mines and containing high-value items. It said they were accessible with keys found as world spawns in Normal and Custom Matches.

As with Erangel, the description gives a broad indication of the loot rather than naming a full inventory. It does not confirm that a particular item will be in a mine room.

A closer look: Vikendi’s later item changes

Update 24.1 added a more specific qualification to Vikendi’s loot picture. It restricted Self-AED acquisition to secret rooms apart from a rare world-spawn chance, and removed the Thermal 4x Scope from secret rooms.

Those are two separate changes. The Self-AED note identifies where acquisition was restricted, with an exception; the Thermal 4x Scope note records a removal. Neither should be turned into a complete inventory for every Vikendi room, or assumed to describe every later update.

Secret-room loot checklist

  • Identify the map first. The notes do not use one universal loot description across all five maps.
  • Check the update named in the relevant section. A patch-note description is tied to that update, not proof that nothing has changed since.
  • Separate named items from broad labels. “High-value” and “rare” do not tell you exactly what is inside.
  • Read chance wording carefully. A stated chance is not a guarantee.
  • Check access before planning a visit. Where the notes specify a key or match mode, use the map’s own description rather than borrowing details from another map.
