PUBG for PC and Consoles will soon get new features and improvements with version 8.1 update patch. Company has released a 30 sec short clip on twitter account teasing the upcoming changes.

“The main feature of update 8.1 is of course Sanhok, which has been reworked from the ground up to look better, perform better, and offer more balanced gameplay” – team PUBG

New Feature: Loot Truck

The Loot Truck is a brand new feature that gives players an additional, albeit risky, way to gear up. Trucks spawn in one of several garages around the island and drive along roads, enticing players to attack them. As these trucks take damage, they’ll drop some loot and continue on their way. Players persistent enough to destroy the truck will be rewarded with an even bigger cache of weapons and gear for you and your squad. Be careful when attacking these rolling behemoths, though- they can take a lot of damage and doing so will certainly draw some attention.

• Up to four Loot trucks are spawned at the start of the match.
• Each truck is spawned separately inside of one the special garages scattered around the map.
• When a truck is destroyed, a new truck will be spawned from the garage.
• A total of 8 Loot Trucks can spawn in a single match.

The Loot

• Loot Trucks can be damaged and destroyed with weapons/throwables.
• However, the loot truck takes reduced damage compared to other vehicles, due to its heavy armor.
• Small or large lootable containers fall from the Loot Truck as it’s damaged.
• Upon being destroyed, Loot Trucks explode and give access to a large amount of top tier loot, including possible exclusive weapon loot.
• Exclusive weapons are pre-skinned, specially named weapons decked out with attachments.

Loot Trucks do not currently spawn in Ranked Matches.
