The new Steampunk Frontier-themed mode introduced in the PUBG Mobile 3.8 update brings Aetherholm, a fresh area that is a large train station where players can summon trains carrying valuable loot, including rare Aethercore Containers.

In this mode, Hotspots like Cargo Hub, Utgard Castle, and Rollercoaster Checkpoints add variety, with Titan attacks demolishing structures in key areas. The update also allows players to glide mid-air using Hot Air Balloons or board steam-powered trains to traverse the map.

Iconic Attack on Titan items like ODM Gear and Titan Serum improve the gaming experience. The former allows players to soar through the skies using grappling hooks and gas cylinders. On the other hand, the Titan Serum transforms players into titans with enhanced health and melee abilities.

A special Attack Titan Serum further boosts power. Additionally, Steam Gliders replace regular gliders when descending from high points.

New mechanics, such as the giant steam trains like the Epoch Cargo Train and Express Train, have been introduced. They carry loot between stations. Meanwhile, players can also spend Steam Coins earned during matches at Clockwork Merchants and Attendants for supplies and buffs.

The Classic Mode also sees several changes: a Portable Med Pack for team healing, a Sticky Bomb with wide-range explosive damage, a Spare Tire to repair vehicles, and a new Pillar UAZ exclusive to Rondo. Players can now fire one-handed weapons while riding motorcycles as well.

Lastly, in the Arena Mode, a new 1v1 Arena allows players to challenge friends with custom loadouts, alongside the new JS9 SMG gun.
