Popular battle royale game PUBG’s latest update for PC is now live and it gets a number of new elements. The update is called as #30 and it gets a new handgun, and an amphibious new vehicle in the form of BRDM-2, a new ledge grab feature and many more.
The maintenance for PUBG update #30 is over and the servers now have all the changes are now live.
The BRDM-2
The BRDM-2 is an amphibious vehicle that will allow players to change from land to water in an instant. It will be replacing the armored UAZ that drops in as a special package from firing off the flare gun. This monster of a vehicle is extremely powerful. Its wheels cannot be busted and it has double the health of a UAZ. If you get your hands on this beast, you’ll be sure to run down a few onlookers in the process.
The Deagle
The next new addition to PUBG is the Deagle. The Deagle is a new handgun that packs a devastating punch. It will be taking the top spot as the most powerful handgun in the game as it deals 62 damage per shot. Even though it is strong, with heavy damage comes heavy recoil.
Ledge Grabbing
Players will now be able to get to new locations with the ledge grab feature. You now have the ability to climb roofs, fences and any other obstacle that is up to 2.5 meters high. Now when you’re looking for that perfect sniper perch, you won’t have to try as hard to get up to a good height.
Gas Cans
Gas cans are finally getting a new use, besides filling up your car. Now, when you place a gas can on the ground, it can be used as an explosive. If you set one down near a drop or a high tier loot area, you can shoot it from a distance. This will set off an explosion and damage anyone in its radius.
Changes
Alongside the big changes, there is also a new radio message system to help players communicate without a mic. Holding F3 will pull up a wheel with multiple options for communication. It will now be much easier to communicate with the random players that drop in on your squad.
The complete list of changes brought by PUBG update #30 can be seen in the patch notes on Pubg official site.
