PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS recently received a new update that added a new weapon, new vehicle, and bug fixes.
New Weapon
The developers added the MP9, which is easy to get as it spawns on Deston, and uses the 9mm ammo found nearly everywhere. This weapon has a lower effective range, fire rate, and damage than P90, which is a fully automatic SMG. But it’s easy to find and can use common ammo, making it an excellent alternative to P90.
New Vehicle
If you love car chases, then this vehicle is the right one for you. The developers added the Pillar Security Car, which has flashlights, loud sirens, and a good top speed to catch up with others. This vehicle can hold up to four people and can drive as fast as 135km/hr with a boost. Like the new MP9 weapon, this new vehicle will only spawn on Deston.
