Update 8.2
Getting PUBG for free right now is actually great timing. The game recently released update 8.2 which not only brought some visual improvements, but also introduced new weapons.
There’s the new MG3 Light Machine Gun which comes with two rates of fire. It also has tracer rounds which help players track their spray. Then there is the new Decoy Grenade throwable weapon. This weapon mimics gunshot sounds for 10 seconds and even ejects shell casing in order to add to the illusion of real gunfire.
New additions include the four docks added to Erangel. There are also a number of Quality of Life Improvements like the Helmet Hide Function. With this, players can toggle off their helmet in order to maintain their costume looks. This is mainly a cosmetic function.
If you’re the type to follow the PUBG esports scene, then the new changes should also excite you. The Esports Tab has been updated to not only include PCS2 information, but even the next Pick em Challenge. Don’t take too long as this new tab is only available until September 23.
