PUBG Update 27a: New Map, Full Auto Snipers, Level 4 Armors and more!

With another passing day here’s another new update for PUBG on PC. The new PUBG update 27a comes with a completely new map named ‘the moon’. Furthermore, the game now has level 4 armors which will provide even more cover from weapon damages. PUBG update 27a also includes a full auto mode for bolt action sniper rifles like AWM, M24, and Kar98K. Moreover, there’s also an optional ‘Winner Winner Tofu Dinner’ message for the vegetarians.

The Moon map is going to be the biggest ever map in PUBG with a size of 3476 square kilometers. Just like the real moon in the game as well gravity plays an important role. Players can now jump 10 times more and the jump duration is longer as well.

PUBG Update 27a: Full list of changes

Well, the PUBG update 27a includes a long list of changes for the game. Below we have covered the whole patch list of the game. But before you scroll down to read the changelog just keep in mind today’s date. In case you don’t remember the date or if you are reading this later just check the date of publishing this article below the title. ?

New Map: The Moon

With the popularity of the Moonlight weather setting on Vikendi, we worked hard to determine what it was about that mode that engaged fans so much. After countless hours, we were able to determine that it was the full moon itself that fascinated players. Our next course of action became clear; have the next great PUBG map be on the surface of the moon!

• New Map: The Moon
• PUBG’s biggest map to date at over 3,476 square kilometers!
• New Feature: “Zero G”
  • Players will not receive fall damage on the Moon.
  • Jump height and duration are increased by 10x on the Moon.
  • Players struck with heavy-hitting weapons (melee, shotguns) will be flung for several meters slowly over time.
• Players on the Moon will leave footprints.
• The Moon will have no weather cycles but will either be lit or in complete darkness depending on which side you spawn on.
• Boost gauge and boost items will be replaced with oxygen tanks on the moon.
  • Players will need to keep oxygen tanks on hand in order to not suffocate.
• New Moon Exclusive Vehicle: Moon Rover
  • Rovers will be key to survival on the moon, as players have thousands of meters to cover to get to the safe zone.

We’re incredibly excited to push the boundaries of realistic Battle Royale with our new map. For players who truly want to immerse themselves in this new frontier, keep an eye out for Survivor Pass: Cosmonaut, coming soon!
