PUBG PC update 27 brings various new features and a little bit of everything, from new guns to more gun spawns.
With the new update, the developers have added more loot on the Erangel map, which is one of the many things the players wanted. Along with that, there are other changes such as Flare Gun balance, addition of a new weapon – MP5K, tweaks on M16A4’s performance. There is addition of a new Survivor Pass 3: Wild Card in this new season of PUBG PC, too. The new update has been made live by PUBG Corp. and it is still on test server, but currently is playable. The new update will be officially released to the PC servers on March 26.
The update brings MP5K weapon, which is a new sub-machine gun. It fires 9mm ammunition and it will exclusively be available on Vikendi and will be replacing the Vector.

With an extended magazine the MP5K can hold 40 rounds of bullets.
The new Survivor Pass 3: Wild Card adds 60 rewards, which can be won over a period of 10 weeks pass duration.
