PUBG: Battlegrounds got a new update this week, but not on the game’s live servers. Instead, it’s gone live for testing for those who want to try out what’s to come ahead of the update’s full release which will happen later in the month. As far as what’s new, we’ve got the usual balance changes and map rotations to check out, but there are two notable things to look forward to: A new Spotter Scope which will let people mark enemies from further away, and a Tactical Pack that’ll turn one of your teammates into a pack mule used to haul around anything you may think you’ll need later.
[PC] Update 16.2 is now available on the Test Server. Drop-in and experience the new Survivor Pass, Tactical Gear, Loot increase on Erangel & Miramar, return of Haven and more!Read more below.https://t.co/co8KUbb997

The Spotter Scope will have a fixed 4x zoom magnification feature.
It will also provide real-time distance to the target you’re aiming at.
The maximum calculative distance is 1KM, and the distance beyond that will return as “??M”.
Allow you to spot and mark enemy players and Drones.
Every enemy player and Drone within 1KM of the Spotter Scope’s sight will be marked with a passive marker (white icon).
The passive marker will be shown on the seer’s screen only.
If the user places the targeting rectangle to a marked enemy or Drone the passive marker will turn into an active marker (red icon).
The active markers will be automatically shared to the user’s teammates.
There is no limit to the number of active markers that can be created.
Several enemies can be marked with the active marker at once, with each marker following its respective target.
When the Spotter Scope is no longer marking an enemy with an active marker, the active marker will continue to follow its target for 7 more seconds before disappearing.
To indefinitely maintain the active marker, the targeting rectangle of the Spotter Scope must continue to chase the enemy.
