The next PUBG console update for Xbox and PS4 will include plenty of shotgun related changes, including a new shotgun called the DBS and shotgun balance changes.
- The DBS is a double barrel pump-action bullpup shotgun that can only be initially obtained from Care Packages.
- DBS has two internal magazine tubes that allow the user to load up to fourteen 12-gauge rounds.
- Thanks to those combined firing mechanics, DBS can produce massive bursts of damage in a short time span.
