The 1.5 update for PUBG Mobile is officially here and introduces a revamped Erangel | Articles

The new 1.5: Mission Ignition PUBG Mobile update is here! So many changes and improvements. This update sounds absolutely amazing. DynaHex has completely taken over Ernagel and is transforming it completely to make it technologically superior.

Pochinki is now the Transit Centre featuring a city bus for traversal. Georgopool is now a Port that will have a command centre with a fully automated warehouse. The school is now a Tech Centre with a cutting-edge display. It has numerous pathways and structures to make gameplay challenging. Other additions include an Energy centre, Logistics agency and a Security Centre.

You can access this new mode through the EvoGround. Hyper lines have been added to the map to make cross-Island travel easier. If that seems like a boring way to travel, then you might opt for the air conveyer! Find these outside urban areas and launch yourself into the air to travel.

Enjoy futuristic travel with your friend on the new Anti-gravity Motorcycle or if you like something a bit classier, hop into one of the two Tesla models, both of which are capable of self-driving.
