The M416, SKS, and Kar98k guns are receiving visual updates and overhauled firing sounds, and four new docks are being added to PUBG's previously remastered Erangel map alongside minor changes to UI, game performance, and more.

Some of the new features being implemented allow players to change their lobby music and hide their helmets so cosmetic items can still be seen.
