New Features in Classic Mode and Mobile Shop
In Classic Mode, PUBG Mobile will introduce several new updates. Players can now heal while driving, and the game will feature new modes and techniques. Two new liquid weapons will be added in the latter half of 2024, bringing more excitement to the game.
The Mobile Shop will also see changes. Players can use in-game store tokens to buy keys for mobile store cars, which they can drive on Erangel, Miramar, Livik, and Sanhok maps. This addition lets players choose real cars from the mobile store.
Weapon Enhancements and Map Updates
Weapon improvements include penetrating ammunition for bolt-action sniper rifles and an upgraded P90. The classic Battle Royale map, Erangel, will receive updates, such as a new mode of movement and enhanced visual analysis. This is part of PUBG Mobile's effort to refine and improve the gaming experience.
Additionally, iconic characters like Son Goku and Vegeta, along with their super forms, will return to the PUBG Mobile universe, allowing players to access special abilities.
Future updates were also discussed at the convention. Version 3.4, set for release later this year, will feature a Werewolf vs. Vampire theme, with a new gameplay system enabling players to switch between werewolves and vampires. The 3.5 update will introduce a Frozen theme, offering a festive experience for players worldwide.
