Oct 31, 2024 7:21 AM

  A new PUBG PC update is now live in all regions, introducing new content, tweaks, and fixes to the game.

  The biggest changes introduced by update #26 are showcased in a brand new video that can be found right below. These include two new vehicles for Vikendi, new weapons and more.

  In case you missed them, you can find the patch notes below.

  

New Vehicle: Zima

  

Added a new Vikendi exclusive vehicle, Zima.

  The Zima replaces UAZs on Vikendi.It won’t have perfect control on Vikendi’s snowy plains, however the 4×4 Zima is much easier to maneuver compared to other vehicles.While the Zima is relatively slow, it has high durability making it ideal for combat situations.

New Vehicle: Snowbike

  

Added a new Vikendi exclusive vehicle, Snowbike.

  The Snowbike replaces motorbikes on Vikendi.What the Snowbike lacks in durability, it makes up for with high speed and great maneuverability.

New Item: Flare Gun

  

Added a new item, Flare Gun.

  Flare Guns are now available in public matches and can be found as a rare item spawning in the world.If you’re lucky enough to find a Flare Gun, fire it directly into the air after the initial blue zone has closed to call in a special care package.When firing the Flare Gun inside the current safe zone, you’ll call in a special care package with lots of loot, or an armored UAZ when fired while outside the current safe zone.Based on your feedback through our public Flare Gun tests, we’ve made changes to improve the gameplay experience with this item.Flare Guns used in the early phase of the game often give a great advantage with little risk, therefore, the Flare Gun will only deliver a care package when used after the first blue zone phase.A message will be shown on the UI when a nearby player successfully calls in a special care package with the Flare Gun and an icon indicating the location of the drop will be displayed on the map.Calling in an armored UAZ will not display a message on the UI, or be indicated on the map.The Flare Gun spawn rate is different on each map.Please let us know your feedback and how the Flare Gun spices up the mid-game!
