PUBG Mobile season 16 has almost come to an end. The developers have officially announced that the brand new Season 17 will begin from 19 January 2021. But let us tell you that the long-ignored Bolt Action Sniper Rifles will rule the battlefield in this new upcoming season.
PUBG Mobile Season 17: Bolt Action Sniper Rifles Buffed
The developers of PUBG Mobile release a major in-game update before introducing a new season in the game. This time they have released PUBG Mobile 1.2 Update today, which brings a lot of changes and new features into the game. In the patch notes, the developers have stated that they are buffing the bolt-action sniper rifles. This is done because from the last 2-3 seasons in PUBG Mobile, nobody picks-up bolt action snipers and only looks for assault rifles.

By buffing the bolt actions sniper rifles, the developers are basically giving more benefit to the player using these guns and players will automatically want to use such weapons.
Details of PUBG Mobile Bolt Action Sniper Rifle Enhancements:
- Increased the damage of the Kar98K and M24.
- Shortened the interval between shots for the Kar98K and M24.
- Slightly increase the bolt action speed of the Kar98K and M24.
The damage and firing speed of both Kar98K and M24 is increased. This lets you, one-shot, kill enemies, and even if you miss, the faster shooting speed will help you with another chance to get the enemy. Furthermore, the bullet speed has also been increased.
