The Latest PUBG Update Adds New Weapon Skins & 2 Crate Features

PUBG Bluehole developers are now continuously improving and perfecting gameplay for players and don’t miss out on including the latest interesting updates. Starting from introducing the new PUBG 2021 Map and the latest one through today’s steam post, introducing the latest update, namely the CSGO-style Weapon Skin feature, 2 New Crates, and Region Locking.

The Weapon Skin feature as you can imagine from the name alone, gives players the ability to customize the appearance of their weapon. Players can get different skins for their weapons through the latest lootboxes called Triumph Crates and Raider Crates, after you get them you can immediately customize them in the Customization menu. And is expected to be present in early April 2021.

You can open Raider Crates for free, you don’t need a key to open them. But to open Triumph Crates, you have to pay, you can open it by buying Weapon Cosmetic Keys which can be purchased through the Steam Market with a 20% drop rate.

In addition to introducing Weapon Skins and 2 New Crate Features. PUBG will also add Region Lock. Since the game was launched, PUBG uses a ping-based matchmaking system to combine players to create smooth gameplay. While this system can often function as a soft region lock, it doesn’t keep regions separate. A sizeable contingent of North American and European players have expressed frustration at being paired with Chinese players, for various reasons (and not all of them are racist). This region lock update might improve the experience for PUBG players and help with the language barrier that sometimes hinders public matchmaking.
