PUBG patch 25.2 adds new features and weapon skins
The latest PUBG patch is 25.2 and has added new weapons, skins, and new features, as well AUG tweaks, and a new weapon system.
In PUBG patch 25.2, KRAFTON has added the Dragunov, a new DMR (designated marksman rifle). The developer tells us that “this high-powered weapon boasts exceptional damage and an impressive 500-metre effective range.

We’ve been listening to your invaluable feedback regarding the introduction of Dragunov, a weapon that was initially set to debut with a unique probabilistic damage system.

The Progressive Weapon Skin System is also changing up with PUBG patch 25.2, as there’s a new skin called “Chroma”. This adds “vibrant hues and captivating effects”, and can also be added to attachment skins, loot crates, and kill feed frames. Lastly of note, there’s a new design for the BATTLESTAT Skin for “tracking cumulative kills and headshots”.
PUBG is available now.
