The game’s fifth submachine gun, using 9mm ammunition, drops on the Erangel and Vikendi map. It has an oversized magazine of 53 rounds, but it does not support magazine upgrades, so the capacity cannot be increased through attachments.

The weapon can be equipped with scopes and muzzle attachments and can be equipped with all scopes from the red dot sight and the holographic sight to the 6x scope, as well as all muzzle accessories available far submachine guns.

The PP-19 has single-shot damage of 35 and a rate of fire similar to the UMP.
