It’s the holiday season, and Tencent has a gift for PUBG Mobile players. PUBG will be rolling out update 0.15 which will feature the new Payload Mode and an updated Survive Till Dawn mode. Furthermore, Darkest Night will be taken offline for further tuning.
The Payload Moe is like the buffed up version of PUBG, with teammate revives, rocket launchers and more. It is not unsimilar to CoD: Mobile’s Battle Royale mode, which means that Tencent is stepping up to the competition. There will also be some balance changes and fine tuning to already existing guns like M16A4, Vector, UMP45 and MK47. A new gun, Desert Eagle is also being added.
Furthermore, there will be performance improvements, with the game running smoother and consuming less power, so your device won’t heat up.
Here are the complete patchnotes:
