Bluehole Studios is back with yet another update for its groundbreaking, battle royale title, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG). The all-new PC update for PUBG comes loaded with a number of new changes and features. However, the most important bit of the update is the addition of two new crates, providing players with a ton of new cosmetic items.

On Wednesday, the developers came out with a statement regarding the implementation of its PC 1.0 Update #2 for the game’s test servers. The testing has been successful as the developer have now brought the update to PUBG’s live servers.
