PUBG mobile update 0.16.0

Tencent has released a new beta update of PUBG mobile, version 0.16.0. The changes in the game can be seen as some kind of response to another shooting game by the same company: Call of duty Mobile. During October, Call of duty Mobile was absolutely the shiniest star in the mobile gaming industry. Now PUBG mobile is, of course, waiting for a moment to take back its own glory.

1. TPP-FPP switch

In the upcoming PUBG mobile update, the first thing that needs covering is that an in-game switch between TPP and FPP is available now. Just like the PUBG for PC, the mobile version finally supports this feature. This is really something for those who like CQB combat. FPP in some way performs way better in short distance flights.

2. Snow and Ice mode

This part of PUBG mobile update must confuse the user in the Southern Hemisphere. Though for the developers and players of PUBG mobile, definitely winter is coming. Pochinki Hills, GeorgePool Hills, Stalber will be covered by snow. All of these locations will also have a special loot crate available. A player will get high tier loot in these locations as compared to other locations. There will also be a ski button available on the screen which allows you to ski on ice.

3. Healing/Boost Movement

In the past, in the world of PUBG mobile, you cannot even drink a drink while walking. Everything will be different in the new PUBG mobile update. Though the speed will be slower, it is possible to move when healing.

4. New mode and Map: Death Race

You can now even have a car race in this PUBG mobile update. What a surprise. At first, it is just a event hold by some streamers. And now it has become an official event. Players are always the best planners of a game, aren’t they? And now you can play it on PC!
