Firearm Adjustments in PUBG Mobile 3.1 Patch
Revamped P90 for Airdrops:
The P90 firearm can mainly be found on the ground. After the revamp, it will return to being the first SMG to be obtained via airdrop crates.
The new P90 firearm will spawn in airdrop crates and use a unique 5.7mm ammo. It has a high rate of fire and extremely low recoil.
It comes with a built-in suppressor and laser sight, but cannot be equipped with other firearm attachments.
The new P90 firearm has an exclusive sight that can switch between 2 different levels of magnification.
AR Adjustments
The ACE32 now has reduced vertical and horizontal recoil, a faster firing animation, improved firing stability, and a slightly increased rate of fire.
The M762 now has slightly reduced recoil and a slightly faster firing animation.
Shotgun Adjustments:
DBS: The DBS now has a slightly decreased firing interval and reduced damage multiplier for hitting the head and body.
M1014: The M1014 now has an increased damage decay.
Adjustments in the shotgun category, especially the DBS Nerf, takes the limelight. The gun has long been condemned by casual and pro players alike due to its overpowering nature, making it a must-have to survive pressure situations.
However, the adjustments applied are not very heavy, so they won't entirely neutralize the two-tap shotgun's effectiveness. As most players are now already skilled enough to handle it's tricky fire rate.
Let's see how the nerf fares in bringing it down from the god tier while giving other weapons some room to breath at close range.
