With update 0.19.0 of PUBG Mobile, which was launched a few weeks ago, in this same month of July, the game received important changes. Of course, there were also numerous optimizations and improvements.
One of the things that has caused the most curiosity among players is the XT weapons, which are nothing different from upgraded versions of other weapons in the game such as the Scar-L, AKM, M24, Uzi, Vector, and Beryl M762. However, Tencent, in the patch changelog, did not give great details about these, and this is what we clarify in this post, since there are many doubts in the air.
The XT weapons are nothing more than test versions of those already known in PUBG Mobile
That's how it is. The XT weapons, it seems, have been released in the game for players to use on a trial basis. These are experimental and probably in the next update they will cease to exist in order to be the ones that replace the old versions, without keeping the 'XT' attachment at the end of the names of each one. For now They are available only on the Livik map and in Arena Training Mode.

In the description that the game indicates, it reads that "They are experimental weapons that have better performance when used." He also describes that "they can keep track of where bullets hit the bodies of enemies", but this is something already available in all weapons in the game.

Without knowing more official details about it, it is mentioned by other means that their recoil, as well as their ranged damage, has slightly improved, in order that they present greater stability when shooting and lose less damage at a distance. Therefore, it should be easier to control the recoil of these and they would be more effective at killing.

At the same time, the appearance of each one does not present any novelty. XT weapons are also not compatible with more accessories, it is worth noting, so there are no changes in this segment either.
Some sites mention that they also do more damage than older versions, but this has not been proven. Apparently this category stays the same.
