What else is new in PUBG Mobile Update 1.5; Patch Notes
Mission Ignition
Erangel will serve as the base for PUBG Mobile’s newest adventure that sees players seek adventures in a familiar city that has been transformed beyond recognition. DynaHex, a technology and energy company is using Ernagel as an experimental base for their latest scientific research.
There are several places in Erangel that have been renamed as they now suit different purposes. This transition might feel a bit jarring at first, but it is a good sign that devs are willing to experiment with established game design.
Special Gameplay Systems in Mission Ignition
- Dynamic Elements
Lifts, automatic doors, and other moving platforms will appear in the upgraded urban area.
- HyperLines
To make travel more efficient on Erangel, the Logistics Agency has set up HyperLines on Erangel to connect the various cities of the island. Players can use these HyperLines to move between fixed locations at certain times and take advantage of these characteristics to employ more tactics.
- Air Conveyor
The Command Center has set up this special transport tool outside some urban areas and bases to help security personnel travel through the air and conduct patrols in the sky.
