PUBG 14.2 Update Patch Notes: Introducing Mortar and M79 Weapons, DBNO Swimming, and More

PUBG 14.2 Update: PUBG Battlegrounds delivers another exciting update, introducing two powerful new weapons. Building on the massive popularity of Update 14.1's pick-up-and-carry feature, this patch keeps the momentum going with fresh gameplay enhancements.

As dedicated PUBG experts with years of analyzing updates and player feedback, we can confirm the developers continue innovating. Released on PC October 4 and consoles October 16, the Halloween-themed changes on Erangel were a hit, but the new transportation mechanics stole the show. Now, PUBG 14.2 elevates combat and survival with essential new weapons and features.

Mortar

The Mortar randomly spawns inside buildings alongside its ammo. It deploys only on flat surfaces—excluding buildings, wooden floors, water, or concrete—and fires between 121m and 700m. Once set up, your character automatically crouches for stability.

M79

The legendary M79 returns as a smoke grenade launcher, creating thick smoke screens over large areas to obscure vision and evade foes. Impacting objects beyond 10m triggers an initial smokescreen, followed by a second burst seconds later.

DBNO Swimming

This survival tweak lets DBNO players stay afloat longer. Swimming speed matches normal rates, and teammates can revive you on shore or while floating. Avoid submerging, as it rapidly drains HP—stick to the surface.
