PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds continues to add new mechanics as Season 8 winds down. Two major new features are currently live on the test server and will make their way to the live branch with PUBG update 8.3: a brand new ferry service on Erangel and the long-teased jammer pack that temporarily protects wearers from blue zone damage.
Erangel's new docks will soon have a practical use - they're where you'll be able to board ferries that take you to Sosnovka Island and back if you'd rather avoid the long truss bridge, which has long been a playground for snipers. There are two routes with two ferries each, and you'll have 20 seconds to board them once they've docked. They'll sound a horn seven seconds prior to arrival and departure.
If you're playing on the Karakin or Sanhok maps, keep an eye out for the Jammer Pack. This looks like part of a level three bag with a radio strapped to the upper portion of the frame, and wearing it gives you some brief protection from blue zone damage.
