It's quickly approaching five years since PUBG: Battlegrounds was first released into the wild and to celebrate Krafton is giving us a fresh new update. This update, titled 16.2, adds a whole host of new tactical equipment into the fray, including a new Spotter Scope, which after reading the description sounds like it needs a nerf already.
The spotter scope is basically a set of binoculars that will spawn on every single map in Normal, Custom, Training, and Sandbox modes, and will give you real-time distance to the target you're aiming at. The scope, which has a magnification level of 4x, will automatically ping anyone within a 1km range and there's no limit on the number of active markers it can create.
But that's not all - the spotter scope will keep enemies pinged for /seven seconds/ even if they move behind cover or smoke. This will allow teammates to hone in on enemies, even when they should be theoretically safe.
