PUBG Mobile next major update, v0.15.0 is expected to be available from October 16. However, we have got a very good idea as to what to expect from the update. This includes a new game mode, new weapons, new vehicles, new ways to traverse alongside bug fixes and graphics optimisations.
One of the biggest additions to PUBG Mobile is the new Payload Mode, which is a part of EvoGround. The new mode brings with it a helicopter that allows them to take the battle to the skies. In order to combat airborne enemies, players on the ground can use heavy, anti-vehicle weapons to even things up. There is also a Super Weapon Box that will feature heavy weapons, level-3 armour, and other supplies. There is also the ability to recall fallen teammates from picking up their teammate ID card and heading to the communication tower.
The new Heavy weapons available include the RPG-7 rocket launcher, which fires dumb rockets. M3E1-A missile launcher fires a homing missile. The M79 Grenade launcher gives players the option to launch a single 40mm grenade at enemies, while the MGL gives them the option to launch 40mm grenade in rapid succession. There is also the M134 heavy machine gun that uses 7.62mm bullets.
There are also two new props added to the game. These include the Air Raid Locator that will allow players to bombard a target area, which adds a new element of strategy and tactics. The other is the Vehicle repair Kit that repairs vehicles.
The other new weapon added to PUBG Mobile is the Desert Eagle. The weapon offers the highest damage and bullet speed amongst all pistol weapons in PUBG Mobile. However, this is balanced by a strong recoil when shooting. It can be equipped with red dot and holographic sights, various magazines and laser sights. It uses a .45 caliber bullet with a seven round magazine, which can be increased to ten after magazine extension.
Players will now be able to grab a ledge in the air. This will allow them to move between buildings and containers. In order to grab a ledge by pressing the jump button at the right time while in mid air.
Other new additions is that fuel barrels will now explode when damaged by weapons or throwable objects. Further, There is a new graffiti spray that lets players spray walls. However, spraying is consumable, and can be used once.
