Playerunknown Battlegrounds has recently released the patch notes of the upcoming 13.2 update. The new patch notes have unveiled various new items and features such as P90 SMG as the new weapon, new trunk system, blue zone grenade, and much more. The game will get new weather with this new update along with some blue zone rebalancing and mini maps improvements.

The upcoming update will be released on September 12th, 2021 for the PC versions and on September 16th, 2021 for Consoles. A new Hyundai-based pickup truck has also been introduced as the Porter. Take a look at the complete patch note.

NEW WEAPON: P90

It also features dual optics that allow for fast switching between close-range and medium-range combat. Use the Holographic Sight for nearby foes and Flip on the Flipsight for added magnification when they make a run for it.
It comes paired with 250 rounds of 5.7mm ammo in the Care Package.

A single magazine holds up to 50 rounds which you (and your foes) can see deplete live as you’re firing due to the magazine’s translucent design.

NEW WEAPON: BLUE ZONE GRENADE

Introducing the Blue Zone Grenade! This throwable item can be used effectively if you want to deal damage in a broader area for a certain period of time. Especially in situations where you want to lure enemies out of a building. The Blue Zone Grenade creates a round blue zone with a maximum radius of ten meters, lasting for five seconds. It maintains its full size for five seconds, then decreases and disappears over another 5 seconds.

  • The blue zone gets as big as ten meters in radius and lasts for five seconds.
  • It remains in its full size for five seconds and then shrinks and disappears for another five seconds.
  • It does not explode underwater.
    • But, when activated near water, it gives damage to players inside the water.
  • Damage: 10/second
