PUBG always finds a way to make it to the headlines of the gaming industry and most of the time for good reasons. After being a hit since the Day 1 of its launch, PUBG Corp. has never shown any intentions of letting its fanbase down. PUBG Corp. has not only worked hard for the first launched PUBG PC version, but also for the later launched PUBG Mobile version. The company has tried its best to keep fans of all the platforms including PC, console, and mobile to be satisfied and feel connected to the title. In its most recent effort, PUBG PC has now received the much-awaited update v4.3 which brings Survival Mastery along with updates to shotgun and other features.
Here’s what the patch notes for update v 4.3 have to offer:
New Weapon: DBS
- The DBS is a double-barrel pump-action bullpup shotgun that can only be initially obtained from Care Packages.
- DBS has two internal magazine tubes that allow the user to load up to fourteen 12-gauge rounds.

As we have seen in the past also, PUBG Corp. always tries to squeeze in all the little details and updates it brings to the PC version, to mobile version too. Like update 0.15.0 is all set to bring helicopters, new guns, and others arrive on the mobile version of the title. We can hope the same for this update too. As of now, PC players can enjoy new features while the mobile players enjoy the latest Season 9.
