4. Mountain Biking
PUBG Mobile will introduce a new Mountain Biking vehicle in the PUBG Mobile 1.9 4th Anniversary edition. If you've grown weary of motorcycles and cars in this game, you'll have a fresh option to traverse the map. This vehicle has been a long-time addition to PUBG PC. And now, it will make its debut in the mobile version.
The new mountain bike has only one seat and performs well on all terrains. It can jump over high rocks, fences, walls, and even houses. If you need to swim, you can pick it up and put it in your backpack. It still has a bell to make noise. If you don't use the bell, the bike remains completely silent. Moreover, using the off-road bike is much safer as it doesn't explode when shot.
5. 4th Anniversary Celebration
Similar to previous anniversary editions, the PUBG Mobile 1.9 update also brings a new commemorative gameplay mode. The Erangel battle royale map will feature 2 pre-existing islands, the Pyramid and the Snow Castle. Below are some rules of the new gameplay mode:
- Upon landing in this minigame, you'll transform into a giant man with a UMP45. Then, you scavenge supplies and fight against enemies to earn tokens and purchase better guns, armor, and other equipment.
- If you get knocked down, your head will inflate like a balloon. Then, your character will float in the air. You can still fight from above but you cannot move. If your teammate can't assist you in time, you'll be eliminated from the match. However, your teammate can call you back into the battle once more.
- Your head will receive a random color. There are some places on this map that match your color. You'll receive double currency when looting medals with the same color as your head. Additionally, you can deal more damage if you shoot enemies with the same color.
There are plenty of other memorial locations with good loot marked on the mini-map. You can explore, take photos, or earn equipment for the battle.
6. New Weapon SPAS'12
The new weapon SPAS'12 is a shotgun with high base damage. Its base damage is equivalent to the M1987 but the SPAS'12 has greater penetration power. However, this new shotgun has a long reload time, which is its deadly weakness.
Above are all the features coming in the PUBG Mobile 1.9 Update. These features are currently being tested in the beta version. Just wait until 3/18/2022 and you can experience them in the official release.
