PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS - PC Update #12

Arms & Item Balance

As we reported most will weapons checked and adjusted. This is to prevent 90% players from running around with attack rifles and identical equipment. All weapons should be useful and have their uses.

There is also a first graphic about the new weapon values. Of course, these changes are points where player feedback is particularly important.

Card selection

As announced the PUBG team is also working on the new map selection.

You can select a card and then only play on it. If you choose multiple cards, choose the game at random. This feature will be "under observation" even after publication and will be adapted depending on the influence on the waiting times.

Gameplay

Here the update brings a new weapon, a new car for the Miramar map and a number of new weapon modifications.

New weapon - SLR

The SLR appears as normal, random prey in the world and fires caliber 7.62mm with 10 bullets per magazine (20 bullets in the enlarged magazine). The damage is higher than with the comparable SKS, but is compensated for by stronger kickback.

The Mirado

The classic American muscle car is a 4 seater sedan and only appears in the Miramar Card on. Mainly it can be found in the urban areas and main streets.

It shows its strengths on the streets, off-road it is rather slow and not particularly effective.
