After getting banned last year, BGMI, or Battleground Mobile India, is back in India. It looks like mobile gamers were waiting for this moment, as no other game has replaced the game after it was banned. The battle royale game focuses on scoring a Chicken Dinner using unique tactics and skills. However, guns play an important role in the game, and they can be a deciding factor when it comes to some of those crazy clutches.
