The latest PlayerUnkown’s Battlegrounds update introduces the new Survivor Pass 3: Wild Card, giving players up to 60 different rewards, new weapons, quality of life improvements, and more. The update is out for PC now and will be coming to PS4 soon. In the meantime, you might be enjoying the latest Horizon: Zero Dawn crossover that’s going on now. Either way, let’s jump into what this update has in store.
One of the biggest new features is the addition of the MP5K sub-machine gun, which has been added to Vikendi, replacing the Vector SMG that was there previously. Here are some key characteristics of the MP5K:
- High rate of fire at 900 RPM with reasonably easy to control recoil
- Accommodates all attachment slots to allow for a tactical stock, different types of magazines, muzzles attachments, grips, the laser sight and of course scopes
- Base damage value of 33
- Exclusive to Vikendi
In addition to that, PUBG Survivor Pass 3: Wild Card will run until June 4, 2019 and will add improved features, new missions, and a ton of rewards to keep you coming back.
Aside from the Pass itself, there are some improvements to the gameplay, most notably with fixes to many of the weapons in the game. Here are all of the weapon updates that will be included:
