PUBG x Assassin's Creed: Abstergo Building Appears in New PUBG Patch

PUBG has received patch 19.1, which brings a lot of innovations that relate to weapons, maps, vehicles, items of equipment and other aspects of the game.

Weapon

New weapon - MP9

It is positioned as an alternative to the beloved P90. It is an automatic submachine gun that can be used in various combat situations.

The MP9 can spawn on maps and requires the popular 9mm caliber ammo commonly used for handguns.

Unlike the P90, the MP9 has less effectiveness at a distance and a lower rate of fire with damage, but this weapon, according to the developers, should appeal to those who previously preferred the use of the P90. MP9 supports two types of fire: single and automatic.

On the MP9, you can hang a collimator and holographic sights.

Weapon characteristics

• Ammunition: 9mm
• Damage per shot: 31
• Bullet Speed: 400
• Effective Range: 100m
• Rate of fire: 1000 rounds per minute

Built-in modifications

• Built-in laser pointer (non-removable)
• Built-in muffler (non-removable)
• Basic magazine for 30 rounds

So far, MP9 has only appeared on the Deston map and is available in regular matches, custom modes, and the sandbox (for PC). In esports matchmaking, MP9 is not yet available.

Cars

New vehicle - Pillar Security Car

According to the developers, the game lacked situations that would look like a movie with cool car chases and an excellent action component. Now the Pillar Security Car has appeared in the game, which will have to complement the atmosphere of the game and add more action in high-speed chases. The car is equipped with strong lights on the roof and sirens, and in the trunk of the car will have to be excellent equipment that will help players achieve victory in the match.

Characteristics of Pillar Security Car

• HP: 900
• Top speed: 130 km/h (135 km/h supercharged)
• Fuel tank: 1000
• Capacity: 4 players

Additional functionality

• Upper Lantern
• Siren

For now, the car can only spawn on the new Deston map in regular matches, custom modes, and the sandbox (on PC only). Pillar Security Car is not yet available in esports matchmaking.

New equipment

Blue Chip Detector

The game has a heartbeat sensor that scans up to 12 opponents within a radius of 100 meters. Now the search for enemies will be much easier with the new equipment, however, the Blue Chip Detector will have a strong minus to balance its advantages - the equipment will occupy the slot of the main weapon. The detector image will be updated every 5 seconds and will emit a sound with each scan, however, it will be audible only to the owner of the device. When an enemy is detected, the detector will emit an additional sound, and dots representing enemies will exist on the screen for one second and will remain at the last scan location even if the opponent moves at that moment. If the opponent is above or below the player's level, a corresponding V-shaped icon will appear, indicating the difference in height between the user and the enemy.

portable shelter

PUBG has a new outfit that allows players to feel more confident when facing enemies. Deadly battle royale players can now find a 40-weight collapsible shield with 1500 health points on the battlefield to help them hide from unwanted bullets.

They are easier to destroy with grenades, and their appearance changes depending on the remaining durability. The strongest shield looks if it has 70% strength or higher. Between 70% and 30% durability, the shield appears to be damaged, but not too much. When the durability drops to 30%, it looks like it's about to fall apart.

Equipment can be stored in the player's inventory and used directly from the inventory. Mounting a portable shelter cannot be carried out on the surface of the water, and a folding shield, despite its name, cannot be folded back into inventory.

During installation, the item disappears from the inventory, despite the fact that the player can cancel the installation of a portable shelter. The collapsible shield appears on all maps in normal matches, custom modes, and sandbox (on PC only). For the time being, this device will not be available in esports matchmaking.

World

Haven: Collaboration with Assassin's Creed

The main antagonist from the world of Assassin's Creed, the company Abstergo has infiltrated the world of the seventh map of Haven. Now they are based in one of the buildings, and their logo flaunts in their corporate style on the roof of the building.

Sanhok: item spawn balance changed

Attachments for weapons such as buttstocks and foregrips will now spawn more frequently. The total loot spawning on the map has been increased by 10%.
