PUBG Mobile v0140 update comes to beta: Heres all thats new

A new update for PUBG Mobile will be pushed out to devices soon, updating the game to v0.14.0 . The update just hit the beta version of the game, which we tried out to see what the new features have in store for players. The biggest of which is the new ‘Infected Mode’ where you can play as a zombie in a 15 minute showdown. That apart, there are cosmetic changes in the main interface with things like choosing the map and accessing settings getting a facelift.

Straight off, the first thing you’ll notice when you launch the game is the change in the interface. The game will now give you more flexibility as to what to download. The APK size has been reduced and there’s an optional resource expansion pack which has some rarely used equipment and resources that you can download when you need them. Even the map updates are optional downloads in the new version.

Next, the mode selection where you choose what match you want to play has received a facelift making the whole thing more streamlined. There’s an additional settings menu for the maps where you can choose the language, server and the likes. Your Royale Pass ranking is also made quite prominent in the match selection screen.

Daily missions are now lesser and the rewards have been adjusted. They are now released randomly and you can’t switch between perspectives while finishing them.

The new mode called Infection Mode is the most exciting of the lot. It’s where you can play as a zombie. It’s a PvP match where players take turns to play as humans or zombies. With EvoGround now evolving to include the Infection mode apart from the two zombie modes and the deathmatch mode, characters will now have special abilities that can only be used in the EvoGround modes.

Here are the patch notes for the new update —

Android Resources Extension Pack:

Reduced the size of Android installation package and added Resource Expansion Pack, which contains some rarely used equipment and resources that are displayed with a placeholder icon unless the Pack is downloaded.

New Feature: Infection Mode

This is an asymmetric PVP mode. After the match starts, players are randomly divided into Zombies and Defenders. While Defenders can use firearms, Zombies can only use melee attacks and abilities with cooldown time.

Zombies can be revived after being defeated by Defenders, while Defenders will be turned into Zombies after being killed by Zombies. If all Defenders are infected, zombies win; if even just 1 Defender survives, then the Defenders win.
