For its part, the MG3 has two firing rates that you can swap between and tracer rounds to help you see where your shots are landing. It also does increased damage to vehicles and has a bipod to increase stability while you’re sneaking around with your nose in the grass.

There are plenty of other changes in the new update as usual. Erangal has a few new docks. You can now choose to hide your helmet so you can appreciate your fashion choices. Other players will still see your helmet though.
