PUBG added the ability to fly

Developers of the popular battle royale shooter Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds finally decided to add to the game the ability not only to move on the ground, but also to fly.

Shooter creators Pubg announced the appearance of the first aircraft in the game, Gamebomb.ru reports. They became an airplane (Motor Glider). This is a double air transport that takes off at a speed of 70 kilometers per hour. The developers claim that the airplane can move very quickly from one side of the circle to the other. It is better not to approach the wound-up airplane from behind, since the rotor blades are very dangerous. In flight, a passenger can attack other participants in the royal battle using firearms, Molotov cocktails and grenades.

The airplane itself in PUBG, of course, is also vulnerable, Gamebomb.ru reports. Opponents can shoot and shoot him from below. In this case, it is better to shoot at the fuselage. He takes more damage than wings. If the engine is damaged, the passengers of the airplane will still have chances. The landing gear cannot be destroyed, so the pilot may try to plan and land. There is no limit to the flight altitude, say PUBG developers. However, the higher the airplane rises, the lower its speed will be.

The airplane is already available in the PUBG Labs testing system on the Miramar and Erangel maps. Players will be able to fly on it until December 23. After that, the aircraft will disappear. It is still unknown when the airplane will be added on an ongoing basis in standard game modes.
