Changes Coming to PUBG

Less than five months in and they’re already coasting along with 4 million sales. I bet PlayerUnknown is feeling pretty pepped.

As with every month, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is getting a new patch in a few days that will change quite a bit, and add two new weapons. Bluehole games announced the release of the Groza, a new bullpup rifle, that takes 7.62mm ammunition, and the P18C, which can be set to fully automatic and semi-automatic. This will take 9mm.

The Groza will replace the VSS in supply drops, added last year, after feedback on the weapon said that it was a bit redundant later in the game. The VSS, a silent rifle with an attached 4x scope, will now be added to the random drops throughout the map. The SCAR-L 5.56mm AR will appear less frequently, given how powerful the weapon actually is. Along with this tweak, the 9mm UMP will be a little rarer to find, with the spawn rate of the Uzi being bumped up to compensate.

This month’s update will be the fourth patch since the game arrived, and it is already brimming with enough content to satisfy that itch to murder people in a virtual world.

The new update will release in the next couple of days and is even coming to Xbox One at some point in the future.
