The long-running battle royale PUBG: Battlegrounds has received the new update 27.2, which brings with it some innovations and content. Below we’ll give you an overview of everything that’s new!
Krafton has released update 27.2 for PUBG: Battlegrounds – and it brings with it a number of fresh features, especially when it comes to the newest map called Rondo. The main focus is on the new market system, which is the first in-game shop in PUBG: Battlegrounds. There you can buy upgrades and weapons with a new currency.
You can use the newly introduced markets to carry out in-game transactions to acquire a collection of items. The exclusive Rondo game currency called BR coins is used for this. The markets come in three different tiers, each offering its own selection and quality of different items.
BR Coins are not limited to premium accounts and can be earned through various methods, including items that spawn on the map. There are also rewards for completing in-game challenges, defeating Pillar guards, and selling inventory items. In return, you can use the coins to buy new items that can give you advantages over the course of the game. There are also two new items available exclusively to the market: Emergency Flares and Combat Readiness Kit. The former is a throwable item for defense, the latter is a healing and boost item.
Certain Tier I markets are equipped with a garage that houses the Rondo-exclusive Pillar-UAZ vehicle. This offers enhanced protection with bulletproof windows and sturdy tires. Pillar guards are also newly introduced. These are NPCs who protect Tier III markets; These are intended to provide an additional challenge if you are on the hunt for high-quality items. Safes located throughout the map also offer the opportunity to purchase gold bars that can be exchanged for coins on the market.
Rounding out the update are in-game challenges with three difficulty levels and a variety of rewards, the EMP zone in Rondo, where most electronic devices are disabled, and changes to the spawn system, where certain weapons and vehicles are removed and increase spawn rates for others.
