PUBG Mobile has been in the gaming market for over four years. However, unlike many other games, the popularity of PUBG is always increasing, with millions of players downloading it on a daily basis to experience the thrill of a battle royale.

To give these users a better gaming experience, Krafton and Tencent Games constantly bring in new updates. With the 1.9 update coming to an end, the new 2.0 update (containing several new features) has begun rolling out.


What are the best features available in the PUBG Mobile 2.0 update?

1) Official version of the Livik map

Livik was added to the game as the fifth Classic mode map in July 2020 after Erangel, Miramar, Sanhok, and Vikendi. However, the map was initially released in the beta version. After a long wait of 22 months, players can finally experience the thrill of the official version of Livik.

Several changes have been made to crowd-favorite locations like Midstein and Blomster. The area of Lumber Yard has been upgraded to a brand new Logistics Center. Furthermore, a new vicinity called Iceborg is also set to be introduced.


2) Evangelion theme

In 2022, PUBG Mobile collaborated with Spider-Man, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Lamborghini. However, only the Spider-Man and Jujutsu Kaisen themes were added as modes to the game. The new update in May will see the game collaborate with Evangelion.

The Evangelion theme will be exclusively available in Erangel. The mode is set to have a new blue zone mechanism for fast-paced gameplay. The themed character of EVA Unit 01 will be seen fighting the mythic character, the sixth angel. Furthermore, players can collect resources from the defensive fortresses.


3) Emergency pickup

In the 2.0 update, a new Emergency pickup feature has been added exclusively to the maps of Erangel and Miramar.

Players need to find an Emergency pickup bag that they can use to summon a pickup that will enable them to travel to the safe zone. They can also strategically pick the area that they want to drop into. However, they must remember that their HP will continue to decrease as long as they are outside the safe zone.


4) New vehicle - UTV
