In addition to adding a classified mode or even the A.A. in classic modes, PUBG Update 7.2 will allow players to discover new ways to use the jerry can. From now on, the tool is no longer simply used to refuel the vehicle, it can now be used as a devastating explosive projectile.

Some assault rifles undergo a slight improvement since their recoil is reduced, however, the damage of the M416 has been reduced. For their part, the shotguns are more efficient and now inflict 1.5 times damage to the head against 1.25, and 1.05 times to the members against 0.9.
