PUBG New Update 8.2 Adds New Weapon and Decoy Grenades

PUBG is getting a new update that will introduce a new weapon, decoy grenades, performance improvements, and bug fixes. The 8.2 update will be available on PC on August 19 and for Xbox One, PS4, and Stadia on August 27.

The new weapon is MG3 light machine gun, which changes the fire rate between 660 rpm and 990 rpm. The gun also comes with tracer rounds for every fifth shot fired and the last 10 bullets in a magazine to keep track of where the bullets are going. The MG3 will only spawn in Normal matchers via Care Packages.

Decoy grenades are new throwables that mimic gunshot sounds. The grenade can be used as a tactical item to distract opponents. The decoy grenades will only be available on Sanhok in Normal Matches.
