I know a lot of people are upset with the current state of the game, but I’m still pretty enamored withPUBG. The fact that an entire second map is coming to the game gets me really excited since the tactical possibilities and strategies will expand two fold. For a game that has sucked up a lot of my time without really trying, I’m sure this extra map is going to occupy me even more.

A holofoil Ribbontail, as seen in collections.

The Phoneutria Fera hand cannon, inspired by the Season of the Haunted armor set. It has a unique, galactic glow.
