PUBG Update 19: Dynamic weather and bullet penetration system.

PUBG update 19 has also brought with it a new Event Mode

With PGI finally over, PUBG corp. has gotten back to work on the game. They have released the PUBG update 19, which has brought bullet penetration and dynamic weather. The bullet penetration is a feature many players have been asking for a long time.
Bullets will now be able to penetrate the limbs and will deal damage to vulnerable areas.

Here is how it will work:

When bullet hits the arm/hand of the character, it will penetrate following its ballistic curve. The result will be different depending on whether the arm/hand is blocking more vulnerable body parts.
When a bullet penetrates a arm/hand and strikes a more vulnerable body part behind it, the greater damage will be applied. In other words, if a player’s arm/hand takes a bullet while blocking their head, the full headshot damage will be applied. This penetration system works for the head, torso, and waist only.
If a bullet penetrates the arm/hand, but no vulnerable body part is behind it, only the arm/hand damage will be applied
Arm/hand penetration is disabled for shotguns
Bullet penetration is not applied to legs.

Other than this, the dynamic weather will now be coming to Miramar and Erangel. This time, the dynamic weather will be random in game events. The effects were removed after PUBG left early access, but now it is back because of player feedback. As explained in the video, rain and fog will significantly alter the strategy of players.

As always, PUBG update 19 is right now in test servers and will go to live servers once the testing is done.

There is also a new Event Mode, called the Sanhok Forty-Fivers. In this event mode, only the weapons compatible with the .45 ACP ammo will spawn. The weather is set to Overcast and red zones are disabled.
