Hold onto your chicken dinners, folks! PUBG Mobile/BGMI's latest 3.6 update dropped a game-changing gadget – the Welding Gun. This ain't your grandpa's toolbox item! Whether you're repairing your squad's ride or trolling enemies into oblivion, this pistol-slot utility is rewriting battlefield strategies. Let's break down why every player should master this hot new meta!
🔥 What's the Welding Gun?
This bad boy spawns exclusively at gas stations (RNG alert! 🎲) or costs 10 shop tokens in supply shops. Unlike old-school repair kits from Payload Mode, it:
-
Repairs 2 vehicles max per pickup
-
Can't fix flat tires (sad trombone 🎵)
-
Occupies pistol slot
-
Has zero reloads – use it wisely!
People Also Ask:

"Can it fix my squad's flipped UAZ?" → Nope, physics still rule!
-
"Why gas stations only?" → Devs want high-risk looting zones!
