A smaller update has been released for PUBG PC, fixing some gameplay issues that have been introduced by last week's update.
The new update, which has been released on live servers a few hours ago with no downtime, introduces gameplay fixes as well as some minor visual issues for the High Waisted Shorts and the Erangel Ghillie Suit. Sadly, it seems like the performance issues that have also been introduced by the latest update haven't been fixed yet.
PC Players: An update has been applied to live servers without downtime.
- Fixed issue which caused players inside the BRDM-2 to take damage when impacting destructible objects
- Fixed issue where the pan hitbox was positioned higher than intended
Additional minor fixes:
- Fixed visual issue with High Waisted Shorts overlapping some shirt skins
- Temporarily removed visually updated Erangel Ghillie Suit which will be re-added when the Erangel Visual Remaster comes to live servers
The big update #30 has been released last week, introducing plenty of new content and features, such as a new vehicle and weapon.
New Vehicle: BRDM-2
“Players feeling froggy for a fight will now have the chance to call down an armor plated amphibious assault BRDM-2 by using the Flare Gun!”
BRDM-2 can only be called in as a special Care Package using the Flare Gun on all maps and it replaces the armored UAZ.
Over waterways or terrain, this amphibious vehicle increases your options to navigate firefights and the Battlegrounds themselves.
Characteristics
BRDM-2’s total HP is 2500 and its health is twice as much as UAZ, while its gigantic, sturdy wheels cannot be damaged.
Powerful bulletproof vehicle that can reduce incoming damage such as ammunition based assaults as well as grenades and red zone damage.
BRDM-2 is an amphibious vehicle that can continue to ground travel on water, but players can’t shoot while on board.
It has a capacity of up to four players on board, and Its top water speed is 22km/h and top speed on the road is 102km/h when boosted.
New Weapon: Deagle
“Bang Bang Pow? That’s the sound of two shots from a Deagle breaking a level 3 helmet.”
The Deagle is a handgun that deals the strongest pistol damage with great muzzle velocity and will be spawned on all maps.
Deagle can deal 62 damage per shot and take both red-dot and holographic sights, various magazines and a laser sight that improves hip fire accuracy.
With greater than average pistol damage and muzzle velocity comes harder to control recoil.
