What’s in PUBG update 21? PUBG patch notes are essential to keeping Brendan Greene’s battle royale game feeling fresh, and PUBG update 21 looks like just the set of important additions needed to do so. With a brand new Training Mode, the MK47 Mutant assault rifle, and the already-popular Tukshai vehicle, there’s plenty for PUBG players to get their hands on.
Kicking off PUBG update 21 is Training Mode. At 2x2km – far smaller than the standard 8x8km Miramar and Erangel maps – Training Mode allows you to practice each element of your PUBG skills in a match with up to four other players. Besides the PUBG new map we have a new PUBG weapon, the MK47 Mutant. The new AR drops on all maps as world loot, has two firing modes, and can be equipped with most attachment types. Then there’s the Tukshai, a Sanhok-exclusive vehicle that carries up to three people. It’s small, but perfect for navigating Sanhok’s nooks and crannies.
So PUBG update 21 is a bit of a biggie, then. There’s even more where that comes from – there’s also a laser sight attachment coming with more Fix PUBG-related improvements – so we’re here to help you make sense of it all. Here’s PUBG update 21 in full:
