PUBG for PC, PS4, and Xbox
One will get a new update that borrows from Rainbow Six Siege. According to a
post from the game's developers, PUBG guns will get cosmetic items that can be
seen in first-person view. This is not too dissimilar to Rainbow Six Siege's
charms. These items are free rewards earned by players who increase their
Weapon Mastery, another new addition to the game. The update, referred to as
PUBG Update 28 for PC, is already up on that version's test servers.
If you want to check it
out, the PUBG Update 28 PC download size is 5.6GB. It will be
available on PS4 and Xbox One on a yet to be announced date.
"Weapon Mastery is a
progression system that allows players to earn free rewards as they level up
their gunplay skills," a post from PUBG's developers reads. "As part
of Weapon Mastery we are also debuting Medals for players who perform awesome
feats during their matches."
"In addition to our
latest feature, we've taken your feedback from our first round of Erangel loot
rebalances and made adjustments. Speaking of adjustments, based on player
feedback we have reduced the difficulty on a number of missions for Survivor
Pass 3: Wild Card, including the elimination of a few missions deemed too
difficult to complete."
