PUBG's newest weapon is a certified beast and it's coming soon

There's a new Sniper Rifle coming to PUBG and it is going to be an absolute beast. Here's everything we know about this new addition to PUBG's growing armoury ahead of the full Season 12 update.

PUBG's New Sniper Rifle

At the moment, we still don't know the specifics of how it will perform in-game but we do have a small insight into what it's going to be like.

The Lynx AMR is an Anti-Material Rifle, more than a new Sniper Rifle. It's going to have a semi-automatic firing option that packs a punch against pretty much anything in its path.

It's being designed as a weapon to help PUBG players take on enemy vehicles but it also does a job at clearing out an enemy player if you can land the shot. The only difference between this and the current array of Sniper Rifles in PUBG at the moment is that the Lynx AMR is a lot slower. It also comes with a limited amount of ammo in order to help balance its high damage output.
