PUBG PC update #23 is now available on the live servers. However, The update got rolled out to the test servers last week. The update adds a new sidearm along with a lot of quality of life improvements and other fixes.
New Handgun: Skorpion
Skorpion is a new addition to the array of pistols. Beyond this, the Skorpion is a full auto machine pistol that spawns on every map. The Skorpion uses 9mm as the ammo type. This makes it ideal to use at close range. Where the Skorpion really shines is that it almost goes head to head with the uzi without taking up a primary slot in the inventory.
The list of attachments the Skorpion can house are:-
- Red dot sight
- Suppressor
