PUBG Update 39.2 Announced
This update will be reaching PC users tomorrow, while console users will be getting the update on 15th January.
In Erangel: Subzero, a new Special Zone is introduced that spawns four times per match. When a Satellite Crash is detected, a warning message appears on the screen, while upcoming special zone locations are displayed on the World Map and Minimap. After a short delay, the Satellites crash down along with multiple modules that generate Blue Zone spheres, and the freezing effect is applied to the Blue Zone spheres. Various items can be looted from the crashed satellites, and crashing satellites deal impact damage.
The update introduces a new Frost Zone bomb weapon and Thermal Protection Suit. The climate now grows increasingly unforgiving, and it applies to normal, ranked, and custom matches. Spawn rates for various world spawn items have been adjusted. Weapon, attachment, and Throwable spawns inside secret rooms have been increased, while fixed spawn spots and the total spawn quantity for the Inflatable Boat have been reduced.
A new Secondary Password feature for stronger account security has been introduced for PC users. In Arcade (Team Deathmatch), the images, display duration, and size of on-screen notifications based on player notifications are adjusted. New item sets have been added to the Hunter’s Chest and Archivist’s Chest: Minx and Maven, Survivor Pass: Spirit Squad.
A brand new Survivor Pass is prepared for this update. The maximum number of weapon skins that can be salvaged at once in the hideout has been increased from 24 to 60. Visual effects are adjusted for console users, that displayed differently on Xbox.
