PUBG Mobile's latest 3.6 beta update introduces an exhilarating new addition to the game – the Survival Drop mode in Metro Royale. This update promises to bring fresh challenges and high-stakes gameplay, offering a more intense and strategic experience for players. Here's everything you need to know about this exciting mode.
A High-Intensity Experience: 'Survival Drop' Mode
The Survival Drop mode takes place on the Arctic Base Advanced map and operates under a 20-minute countdown. The mode is divided into three phases, with the blue zone beginning to shrink after the 18-minute mark. Players will need to think on their feet as the tension rises, especially since death results in the loss of all collected loot. With this risk comes the need for careful planning and strategic moves to survive.
Revamped Loot System with New Drops
A major highlight of the Survival Drop mode is the revamped loot system, which includes:
-
Air Drops: Two drops will land on opposite sides of the map between the 8-11 minute mark. The orange drop contains valuable loot, while the blue drop always includes a flare gun.
Golden Drop: At the 6-minute mark, a golden drop will offer premium loot, including gold bars, gold piles, and a mysterious legendary item valued at $500,000. The exact purpose of the legendary item remains uncertain, but it could potentially be used for black market purchases or item upgrades.
Easier Navigation and Enhanced Map Accessibility
The update introduces a new point of entry at the Frozen River, making it easier for players to access and exit the radiation zone. In addition, extra extraction points near key outposts have been added, improving the flow of gameplay and giving players more options for navigating the map.
New Loot Items and Reward System
In addition to the loot drops, the update also brings five new high-value loot items:
- Golden Heart Necklace ($210,000)
- Golden Watch ($250,000)
- Golden Canteen ($230,000)
- Tinder Bamboo ($128,000)
- Expired Tickets ($128,000)
These items can be exchanged for special rewards such as the "Last Stand" title and a golden panda trophy, adding a layer of prestige to successful players.
Upgraded Fabled Traits for Enhanced Gameplay
The update introduces three new fabled traits that will improve gameplay:
- Protection Set: Increases the durability of helmets and vests by 100 points.
- Loot Detector: Improves the functionality of backpacks.
- Armor-Piercing Rounds: Enhances weapon penetration, providing a strategic advantage.
These traits can be upgraded from level 1 to level 4, with the highest level offering up to 20% armor penetration. Players will need to use newly introduced schematics to enhance these traits, adding depth to the customization of their loadouts.
Hardcore Gameplay for the Ultimate Challenge
Echoing the classic Metro Royale experience, Survival Drop brings a hardcore gameplay mechanic where players lose all their loot upon death. This high-risk environment heightens the challenge, requiring careful strategy and cautious movements to secure victory.
A Collaborative Effort with the Community
The development team has collaborated with the Metro Royale community to ensure that this update meets the expectations of players. Gamers are encouraged to join the community, provide feedback, and stay updated on the latest developments.
The Survival Drop mode in the 3.6 update is a complete overhaul of the Metro Royale experience, offering fresh loot opportunities, better accessibility, and more intense survival mechanics. Whether you're a veteran player or a newcomer, this update promises to test your strategic skills in ways never seen before.
