The new BZ Grenade Launcher expands tactical control with deployable Blue Zone spheres. Gunplay sees major recoil tuning across VSS, SLR, SKS, AUG, and M416. Casual Mode shifts to a 60-minute limit, while UGC Alpha returns with new devices and modes. Unfortunately, since the last major update, players are experiencing issues with the game. Today’s PUBG patch 1.014 will fix a few of these issues.
