PUBG Mobile Update 0.18.0: What's New?

There is an arousing excitement among the fans of PUBG Mobile regarding the update 0.18.0 coming on May 7. Almost everybody knows about the main update (Mad Miramar) but not about the other ones. Read it to the end to find what is going to come to us.

Main Update (Mad Miramar):

The most underrated map of PUBG Mobile Miramar is perhaps no longer going to be underrated after this update. In the northern part of the map we are going to see a new oasis to be added on and in the northwest the Urban Ruins. Other than this, housing areas, roads, resources are added that would make your match a little helpful.

A race track is also added that is through the whole map and perfect for the motor-bikers.

A new vehicle “The Golden Mirado” would be spawned in the game. Only 1 would be spawned. It can withstand more damage than a normal one.

A new vending machine is also added and is scattered on the whole map. You can get energy drinks or painkillers from the vending machine and if you’re lucky enough, you can get up to 8 drinks at a time.
A new Sandstorm effect has been introduced that would ravage various areas.
New theme music, Miramar Main Lobby and the new map would be availed after updating it.
New Miramar achievements would also be included with the map and you can achieve those only after completing those given multiple objectives. Other events are also added with rewards for fulfilling them.

Evoground New Mode- Bluehole Mode (Coming Soon):

2 zones would now be available on Erangel (outer zone, inner zone) in this mode. The inner-zone is a new addition; it would disclose the next playzone location. Players would be losing health while being in this inner-zone as long as the outer-zone is present and as soon as it shrinks and gets finished another new inner zone would be disclosed.

There has been an increase of 50% of all the supplies in the Classic Mode Erangel map and not in the Bluehole mode. Players could revive their teammates in just 4 seconds.

Jungle Adventure- New Classic Mode (Coming Soon):

It is a new mode which you could be finding in Sanhok soon. You can only enter this mode only by luck and random chance just like the Day/Night mode in Erangel. A variety of new challenges could be faced by the player in this mode. Some of them are listed below:

Totem: Ancient totems would be scattered all over the map, find them, then invoke their power and get a chance to receive any item.
Jungle Food: Fruits and other foods would be available in the wild which might grant mysterious effects when you eat them.
Hot Air Balloon: You can control a Hot Air Balloon now and can witness any battlefield by not being in it.

New Arena Weapon- P90:

A new Arena SMG, P90, has been added. It is a destructive weapon using the 9mm bullets with a default magazine capacity of 50 shots. It can change to burst and single mode also other than the full-auto mode.

It can equip all kinds of scopes other than the 8x scope. It also equips the laser light.

Other Classic Mode Improvements:

Addition of a Canted Sight: A new attachment the canted sight would now be spawned in the maps which is comfortable with most ARs, SMGs, Snipers, LMGs, and some Shotguns. This is a kind of scope for the close combats that could be equipped alongside other scopes. You can adjust the canted sight, according to your preferences in the Settings.
Point Protection Matches: You get your ranks deducted when you lose early or get killed as soon as you land. In this way you might get killed by hackers or cheaters and you cannot do anything about it. Well, now you must know more get tensed as you would be redeemed all the points that you lost in such a case after it has been examined thoroughly. That match would become a point protection match and you would receive a notice via in-game mail.
New Results Screen UI: Another new thing regarding the Results’ Screen has been added. You can view “Detailed Results” of the classic matches where you could view detailed data of each weapon used by you and your teammates check other stats and compare. A ‘5 grading criteria’ has been added on the Results Screen. New titles and Filters are also added on the Results Screen.
Improvement in Settings: A TPP and FPP custom configuration has been added. Your sensitivity settings would be stored in the cloud so you won’t be required changing the sensitivity every time after updates. You can enable or disable auto quick-scope functions now.
Death Replay: This resource has been improved and now you can view it from all devices even smoother than before.

New Weapon Attachments and Other Improvements:

The Win94 would now be coming with its default attached 2.7x scope and would be spawned only in Miramar.

Damage of Shotguns at long distances has been dropped to a minimum of 4 at the maximum effective range and 3 for Sawed-off. Muzzle climb has been increased for Shotguns but no change in their recoil.
The Maximum effective ranges of the Shotguns have been modified to 80 meters except for the DBS with 100 meters.
