Are you ready for the return of the best in PUBG MOBILE? With the released 1.6 update, the brand new game mode Flora Menace was added to the game, which includes an alien plant invasion, spaceship battles and a new drop system.
Also, with the news that long-time PUBG MOBILE players will be excited, seven of the most popular game modes have been added to the game for a limited time. Other exciting collaborations awaiting players with the 1.6 update include Alan Walker and Godzilla vs. Alongside the return of Kong are new partnerships with KartRider Rush+ and the upcoming star-studded DUNE.
PUBG MOBILE Version 1.6 update is currently available for download from the App Store and Google Play Store.
Caution: Erangel has been invaded! Alien Yarilo plants have taken over the map and players now have to fight! In this special game mode, Yarilo mother plants will randomly appear in map areas, creating Rejuvenation Barriers that increase and regenerate player health. Erangel will also host the Cell Matrix, a spaceship flying over the map. Players can board the ship by finding Cells spread throughout the map, then battle other players on the ship for awesome random weapon drops at the same time earning Nacore Chips.
Nacore Chips are used for the all-new DynaHex Consumables system, which allows players to order war supplies at a specific location. Cell Matrix has a limited number of respawns, so players who run out of health are knocked back to the ground. After a certain time, the Cell Matrix begins to descend to the ground, and the players who managed to survive continue to fight with others among multiple spaceships.
The Flora Menace invasion began on Erangel. Invasion will continue on the Sanhok map on September 18 and then on the Livik map on September 22. The Cell Matrix spaceship will only appear in Erangel.
