PUBG Patch 31.1 introduces new "Muzzle Brake" attachment

PUBG recently received the new Patch 31.1 update for all PC players and released the Muzzle Brake attachment. The same update will be made live for console platforms on August 14, 2024, after which the battle royale will be running on the same game version. This new attachment will be available as a part of the ground loot pool and will be enabled for both Casual and Ranked lobbies.

The Muzzle Brake attachment is an item that can make using Assault Rifles (ARs) and Designated Marksman Rifles (DMRs) easier with its recoil control and camera shake stats. It seems to be a bit different from the classic muzzle attachments that have been available in the game and could bring in a fresh gunplay experience for the community.

This article will highlight PUBG’s latest attachment Muzzle Brake in Patch 31.1.

PUBG Muzzle Brake attachment revealed in latest update

PUBG is one of the classic battle royale titles and features a massive arsenal of realistic weapons alongside equipment. However, such massive shooter games can become stale without new gameplay content. The developers have added the new attachment to provide a new gunplay experience for the entire player base.

The Muzzle Brake attachment was released with three primary stats:

• Increases vertical recoil control by 10%.
• Increases horizontal recoil control by 10%.
• Increases Camera shake control by 50% when the weapon is being fired.

These are great stats for anyone who chooses to play with ARs and DMRs as these weapons generally feature a violent recoil kick. The new item can help users control their guns more easily, resulting in higher overall accuracy and aiming stability.

That said, let us take a look at how the new attachment compares to the existing muzzle attachments.

All Compensators for ARs and DMRs have a low spawn rate on the maps but are highly sought after as there are no cons. It increases both horizontal and vertical recoil control while easing the recoil pattern itself for better control.

The Flash Hider provides similar effects - increased recoil control and eased recoil pattern. It also conceals the bullet flash from weapons to a certain extent. This can help players protect their positional information during gunfights.

The Suppressors that are available in the game completely erase the muzzle flash and mask the gunfire sound, making it difficult to identify the location of players. It also features a type of deviation reduction which can make long-range shots more consistent.

The introduction of the Muzzle Brake might be an experimental route that the developers want to explore and increase recoil control attachments' spawn rate on the active map pool. However, the camera shake reduction ability of the item is sure to grab the attention of the entire player base.
