PUBG Panzerfaust update 6.3 is now available on the test server

After much teasing, PUBG tweeted that the much-awaited Panzerfaust is finally available on the test server. The new update 6.3 introduces new weapons, includes some bug fixes and quality of life improvements including the much-requested change to invincibility in Team Deathmatch.

While the Panzerfaust has its advantages it comes with its own disadvantages, such as it takes up the primary weapon slot limiting the choice of weapons on the Karakin. Furthermore, the projectile can be dodged by the attentive player.

The Panzerfaust warhead explodes upon impact, but can also be blown up mid-air if any damage is done to the warhead or if it is shot by bullets. Once the warhead is fired, the Panzerfaust tube will be discarded and cannot be picked back up, and it is one time use the only weapon.

After much teasing, the #Panzerfaust is now available on the test server! Try out the new weapon along side the rebalanced M249, Tommy Gun, and UMP-45!
