PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds PUBG patch 17.1 is now available on consoles and officially brings it to all platforms. The latest battle royale update brings a freshly remastered – or perhaps unremastered version of Sanhok to the game, in a form that more closely resembles its original appearance. The patch also brings a new weapon, balance updates, and more.

PUBG’s Sanhok map underwent an overhaul in 2020, but despite several changes and updates since then, the community overwhelmingly preferred the original map shape. As explained in the patch notes, several parts of Sanhok’s map have been restored to their pre-reworked shape, including Bootcamp’s iconic lobster-shaped building, piers, ruins, and quarry. The original blue and green look of the map has also been restored.

Along with the visual updates, several new features will be removed, including Jammer Pack, Decoy Grenade, and Loot Truck. The study said this will not be the end of Sanhok’s updates as the team “continually discusses various methods to improve Sanhok.”

ACE32 Assault Rifle New Weapon:

A new weapon has also been added to all versions of the game, the ACE32 assault rifle. In the patch notes, the developer explains that the ACE32 is a high stability, low recoil 7.62mm assault rifle that should be easy for players to master to complete a weapon pool that already has automatic weapons from 7.62 mm – weapons are missing. The new shotgun will be available on all maps and in all modes except custom games in Esports mode.

The new update also kicks off PUBG Patch 17.1 of Ranked Play, so players should remember to claim the rewards from the last ranked play season and prepare for the next.
