Patch 27.1 is now live in the PC version of PUBG: Battlegrounds. There are a lot of news content and the biggest of which is the addition of the new RONDO. There are other news additions to be excited about like the new JS9 submachine gun and the stun. Today we'll take a closer look into these two new weapons.

The JS9 is chambered for 9mm ammunition and deliver outstanding damage along with higher weapon stability. What makes this modern bullpup-style firearm an excellent choice is that it's accessible to players with different levels of experience. That's right!

A Life Saver

Another new weapon is the Stun Gun. This secondary weapon is a good option especially when cornered by an enemy or even unable to prevent a confrontation.
