Another month, another update for PUBG MOBILE. Tencent’s flagship battle royale game is scheduled to get another update next week and there’s a lot that’s expected from the new patch. The PUBG MOBILE team has released an official teaser for the version 0.18.0 patch, hinting at a lot of new stuff for players to enjoy in the realms of PUBG MOBILE. There’s going to be a new vehicle, vending machines (yes, you read that right), new PlayLab modes and most importantly, an updated map.
The official Twitter handle of PUBG MOBILE has confirmed that the next big update to PUBG MOBILE is coming on May 7. An accompanying teaser video hints at a lot of new stuff that’s been rumoured for long within the game. Although the PUBG team is yet to announce its list of new stuff, the new patch has already hit the open beta stream and there are some new gameplay modes coming to this one.
The biggest addition to the game is probably the updated Miramar 2.0 map. The Miramar desert map has been around for years now in PUBG MOBILE and with the 0.18.0 patch, it is finally going to get a major revamp. Players will experience new vending machines that will give players painkillers and energy drinks.
Miramar will also get a new racing ramp, which could probably host new vehicle racing events. The map will also be given a new water area that is expected to be similar to the amusement parks in Erangel and Vikendi. The Golden Mirado vehicle is also expected to come to the game.
Another major change to the gameplay will involve another blue zone inside the playable safe zone. Similar to the PC version of the game, PUBG MOBILE will now force players to fight in the playable zone without moving to the centre of the playable zone early, probably to give other players a fair chance of surviving.
The 0.18.0 update is also expected to bring two new gameplay modes under the Playlab section. A Safety Scramble mode is coming, which could most possibly be similar to the recently released Cold Front Survival mode. Another “Jungle Adventure Guide Mode” is said to the come to the game, although there’s no information on what this mode will offer.
Previously, PUBG MOBILE gave us a Cold Front Survival Mode under the PlayLab section. In this mode, players are allowed to fight it out in the classic battle royale style but they have to collect wood and survive the cold weather during brief blizzards.
