PUBG: New State January update patch notes: New mode, weapon, and more

PUBG: New State’s January update will launch next week and will introduce patch 0.9.23 to the battle royale.

A lot of new content will be released in this patch. This includes an extreme battle royale mode, the P90 submachine gun, balance changes, and more. It will also mark the ending of the game’s preseason with the beginning of the first official season.

Here are the complete patch notes for the upcoming update into PUBG: New State.

New mode: BR extreme

• In this, 64 players will drop into a smaller area of Troi to battle for victory. Matches will last only 20 minutes.
• The playable area of Troi will be chosen at random and could change in each match. There will be an increased quantity of vehicles and weapons to offer more fast-paced action.
• The plane will fly at a lower altitude so players can parachute to the ground faster. Delivery drones will arrive faster and the wait time for recalling dead teammates has also been reduced.
• Every player will be equipped with a P1911 handgun, a smoke grenade, 300 drone credits, and fully charged boost meters from the beginning of the match.
• When the match starts, two care packages will drop into random locations with higher-end gear.

New weapon: P90

• The P90 is a submachine gun (SMG). It will spawn with a tier-two transformative scope and a suppressor and can’t be modified with other attachments. The weapon will use 5.77mm ammunition.
• It will only arrive through Care Packages.
• The 5.77 ammo will be added to the Drone Store as well.

New Gun Customizations

DP-28 [C2] Muzzle Slot Access

• The machine gun is getting a new slot access to allow players to attach a Flash Hider or Compensator to the weapon.
• These attachments will slightly reduce the damage of the DP-28, though.

Beryl M762 [C2] Lightweight Stock

• The attachment will reduce the bullet spread when firing from the hip or shoulder. It also increases ADS speed.
• These two positives will come at the expense of weapon stability, though.

Sudden Dash
