PUBG Mobile gets the BRDM-2 which is short for Boyevaya Razvedyvatelnaya Dozornaya Mashina. It is a Russian amphibious armoured vehicle which can be used both on land and water. The BRDM-2 will replace the armoured UAZ which could be called by firing a flare gun outside of the play zone.

On land, the BRDM-2 has a top speed of 105km/h while in water its 22km/hr. It has an accommodation space for four and doesn't come with any weapons attached.

It can withstand more damage than the armoured UAZ and the tires are bulletproof as well.

The fuel gas barrels in the game will now explode upon taking damage from bullets or other explosives, dealing a decent amount of damage to nearby players. These gas barrels can now be used to trick enemy players in the game with the new added property which is sure to add an excitement for players who play PUBG Mobile strategically.
