Also today, Krafton has published the update 15.2 of PUBG Battlegrounds which, among the novelties, presents Tactical Gear, a new category of objects that offers new and current players various options to improve their performance that do not concern the simple shootings.
The new update has finally introduced the drone, a tool that allows you to explore from a distance and collect objects without having to fight any enemies, and the EMT Gear, a tactical equipment that allows you to choose a greater healing potential both for yourself and for the own team at the cost of reduced combat flexibility.
Finally, there is a Basic Training mode, a sort of tutorial that allows us to learn more about the game mechanics, the AI Training Match mode, which leads us to face 99 bots, and the tutorial missions.
Following is the download links of PUBG: Battlegrounds for various platforms:
PUBG: Battlegrounds is available on PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Google Stadia.
