KRAFTON, the South Korean video game developer, has announced the introduction of Mission Ignition Mode and a partnership with the forward-thinking automotive brand, TESLA in BATTLEGROUNDS MOBILE INDIA. This is the first content update for the game after its official launch on 2July.
The classic mode has also been updated to include a all-new weapon, the MG3, as well as a new feature to toss medical items to your squad mates in those clutch situations. The MG3, which can take up to a 6X scope and no other attachments, is a light machine gun that may be obtained by airdrops while playing classic maps apart from Karakin. Instead, the M249, which was previously airdropped, will now appear directly on the map for loot.
A multitude of features has been introduced the make the gameplay better. For the first time, gyroscope sensitivity can be changed, Third Person Perspective (TPP) camera angles can be tuned, and ammo indicators allow for more finesse in strategy. 90FPS is now supported on a host of new devices, while a graphical option lower than smooth has been added for low end devices.
Sand Bottle Exchanges have been added to the Events section as a free event. Players can complete challenges to earn Sand Bottles, which they can then swap for great prizes!
