Player Unknown's Battle Ground, popularly known as PUBG, has been trending worldwide the last few years. The developers have put in some hard work by pushing constant updates, and now the 26th update is arriving with two brand new vehicles and flare guns as rare loot along with gameplay, UI improvements and bug fixes.

Here's a detailed look at what the update 26 for PC has to offer:


#1 New Vehicle - Zima (Vikendi exclusive)

The Zima replaces UAZs on Vikendi. It won’t have perfect control on Vikendi’s snowy plains, but 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


#2 New Vehicle - SnowBike (Vikendi exclusive)

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


#3 Flare guns as rare items

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. 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.

Other than these, there is a new Survivor pass for Vikendi that will end on 26th February at 18:00 PST. However, there will be a grace period to claim any unclaimed rewards once the Survivor Pass ends, up until 12th Mar 18:00 PST.

There are also plenty of bug fixes, UI improvements, and gameplay improvements. But as per the official statement, some of the experimental changes may not make it to the final update.

We have applied a new experimental mechanism to the test servers to test a solution to an issue related to rate of fire changing based on FPS. We appreciate all players who have given feedback regarding this issue. This won’t be applied to live servers in the next update, as we want to monitor player feedback to ensure this doesn’t negatively impact the player experience.
