PUBG update 4.3 features Halloween Skins 2019 & weapons balancing

PUBG is one of the most popular games in the Asian region. The game is actively played by millions of players each day. The game was released on March 23, 2017, and since then the game has been running strong. Over the past two years, the game has received several updates and enhancements.

Tencent Games and PUBG Corporation will release a new update 4.3 for the game which will bring in a lot of significant changes to the game. Game Update 4.3 is currently live on the test server, and soon it will be made available on global servers. PUBG 4.3 update will bring in new Halloween skins to the game, but before digging into that let’s have a look at some other features of the forthcoming update.

PUBG update 4.3 will bring a new progression system to improve non-lethal play skills, and it will be called Survival Mastery. The forthcoming update is also bringing in changes and balancing to shotguns. Care packages will now drop a new weapon, DBS.

DBS is a double-barrel pump-action shotgun that can only be initially obtained from Care Packages. It comes with two internal magazines which allow players to load up to fourteen 12-gauge rounds. DBS is pretty impressive in dealing massive damage in a short time. Players can attach Holographic, Red Dot Sight, and 2x to 6x scopers with the weapon. The range limit for dealing damage to opponents is 100m.

Weapons are also receiving a lot of balancing in the upcoming update. Shotgun hit probability will be increased for medium-range targets. Also, the minimum per pellet damage within the effective range of each shotgun has been increased to 4.
