PUBG patch update #20 introduces new 7.62mm AR for all maps, new vehicle, & more

Published , by Charles Singletary Jr

The Fix PUBG campaign is in full swing, but the developers are still adding some new content while attempting to fix problems that have plagued the battle royale shooter since its official launch. With patch #20, PUBG devs are adding a new weapon for players to use across all maps and those that are fans of the smaller Sanhok map finally have some new wheels to get around on. The weapon, called the Beryl M762, uses 7.62mm ammo and can load up to 30 rounds in the standard magazine. The assault rifle has upper and lower rails, allowing players to attach scopes and grips. The lower rail for grip is a significant improvement over the AKM, which also uses 7.62mm ammo, but the Beryl M762 has lower bullet damage. The higher firing rate gives it a chance to do more damage-per-second than the AKM, though.

The other major addition is the Sanhok-exclusive scooter. It's a two-seater that replaces motorbikes on the smaller map, has the same HP as the motorbike, but has a lower speed and increased turning radius. It's a cool addition that adds to the list of items that make each map unique. A future vehicle, the three-wheeled Tukshai, will also be added to Sanhok in the future. The developers are taking extra time to fine-tune its performance and will release it in September.

There are a handful of other updates, gameplay improvements, UI changes, and more in the Steam page covering the latest patch. Patch #20, as usually, hits test servers today and will roll out into the live servers when everything is ready to go. Follow Shacknews to keep up with the latest reveals and updates.
