The 8×8 map was made available on test servers on June 30, with self-revive (or Self AED) coming to the game as part of the 12.2 update. 12.2 also includes new guns, a new airdrop and a new vehicle in the Hyundai Pony Coupe.
The update will also feature more details on Taego’s story alongside a collaboration with actor Don Lee as well. Lee starred in Train To Busan and will be in the upcoming Marvel‘s Eternals. He originally appeared in the short film PUBG Universe: Ground Zero, which ties into the upcoming Taego map.
Taego will feature the Comeback BR System, which allows players who have died during the first phase of a match to come back during the second phase and fight among each other to see who can get back to the main match. This will only occur on Taego, and also only during squad games.
Update 12.2 for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds will also have two new weapons, the K2 and the MK12. The K2 is an assault rifle that can switch between single, burst and full auto. The MK12 rifle has an 8x scope, making it ideal for longer ranged fights. Both the MK12 and the K2 will spawn alongside normal loot.
In other news, an update to Bandai Namco’s website has revealed more details on the upcoming Elden Ring. The new information sheds light on the exactly what the Elden Ring is, alongside how weather will impact the game.
