As part of its PC 1.0 Update #18, PUBG has also added a Sanhok map-exclusive weapon and vehicle to its test servers. The QBU is a DMR that takes ten rounds of 5.56mm ammo. It comes with a bipod, and is thus most effective when engaged in the prone position. It replaces the Mini 14 on the tropical 4x4km arena, and looks like this:
The Rony, on the other hand, is Sanhok's newest vehicle—a pickup truck "from the automaker that brought you the Mirado," says developer PUBG Corp. It continues: "This truck holds up to 4 passengers and excels at moving across Sanhok's hilly landscapes. The Rony is one of the larger vehicles on Sanhok, so it can be used for cover as well as transportation."
The Rony looks like this:
As always, once both the Rony and the QBU are successfully tested, they'll be applied to live servers. More information on both, as well as Update #18's haul of bug fixes, can be read here.
