The latter is a single-use weapon that damages thin walls and penetrates objects within 6m of the point of impact, and the shooting distance can be adjusted to 60m, 100m, or 150m.

As per the patch notes, it is a 7.62mm bolt-action sniper rifle, which, to some extent, parallels the Kar98K. However, the former has better fire range and greater damage.

#4 - New vehicle: Motor glider

A new aircraft, presumably called the Motor Glider, will be unveiled. It will spawn around Erangel and Miramar randomly.

The Motor Glider is a two-person vehicle comprising of a driver's front seat and a back seat where players can sit and use weapons.

Initially, the glider requires momentum on the ground, and eventually, it will take flight. This new feature is sure to add fresh thrills to the PUBG Mobile gameplay experience.

#5 - New arena map

A new Arena map is to come in the main official version of PUBG Mobile. Its name is yet to be declared, but the map has been described in the patch reports.

According to the patch notes, the small new Arena map has staggered passageways optimal for extremely fast-paced gameplay. It is suitable for aggressive players who enjoy intense fights.

This new map will most probably be one of the most intense and exciting modes to play in PUBG Mobile.
