2. Weapon Changes

  • It can travel on both land and water, but players seated in it can’t fire their weapons.

4. Gas Cans become explosive

Dropping a gas can on the ground and damaging it with bullets will cause it to explode and deal damage to nearby players. This will pave the way for a lot of new strategies in the PUBG Mobile 0.15.0 beta as well as in the final update.

5. New TDM( Team Death-Match) Map

TDM also introduced another type of movement- Sliding. The new map serves as a good place to practice. Whether or not sliding will be added to other game modes is not confirmed.

6. Ledge-grab

This is another interesting feature added to PUBG Mobile from the PC version.

• Ledge grab allows you to take new paths by climbing up the edge of roofs, fences, and obstacles, and jump from building to building or container to container.
• Now that players can move to places they weren’t able to reach before, gameplay with new strategies, climbing to places your opponent won’t be able to anticipate will be interesting to see!

7. Payload Mode in PUBG Mobile 0.15.0 beta

This mode was teased in the previous major update itself when helicopters were spotted on different locations on the Erangel map. The helicopters will be stationary in classic, but will be flyable in the new Payload mode!

This new game mode is featured as a part of “Evo-Ground” and includes many new features.

• The helicopters in the Payload mode can be used like normal vehicles. Players seated in it can change seat and fire from it as well!
• The Payload mode will also have a lot of anti-helicopter weapons, like a missile-launcher that locks on to a helicopter while ADS.

The final update is going to create whole new types of strategies as the PUBG Mobile 0.15.0 beta shows lots of improvements. The introduction of explosive gas cans and ledge grab are the game changers! New strategies, better game mechanics and a whole lot of fun are expected to arrive when the final PUBG Mobile 0.15.0 will become live.
