Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) 1.5 update has been
officially revealed. The new July 1.5 update will be start rolling out to users
from July 13th at 7.30pm IST. The new update brings a host of features like a
new MG3 gun, throwing healing consumables, a new Mission Ignition Mode, and a
gravity-free motorcycle, among others.
Notably, Season 19 Traverse is all set to end on July 14th, when BGMI will
introduce a new Ranking Season and Royal Pass format. Ahead of the new season,
Krafton has announced these new features to keep BGMI players interested.
Here’s everything you need to know about the BGMI 1.5.0 update.
New MG3 Gun
With the BGMI 1.5.0 update, the M249 LMG has been excluded
from the airdrops and will now be available as part of the field drop in all
maps except for Karakin. The gun has been replaced by MG3 in the supply crate,
which is airdropped in the game. Bear in
mind that the new gun is available only as part of the supply crate in-game. The
light machine gun comes with support for 6x scope, continuous firepower
capability, uses 7.62 ammo, and can hold up to 75 bullets. However, the reload
time is a little slow and there’s no single-shot mode. Players can switch
between 660 or 990 rounds per minute and there’s a bipod mode that
automatically deploys when the player is laying prone.
Throwing Healing Consumables
Throwing healing consumables are a new feature in the 1.5.0
update. In order to throw them, players can select a healing consumable and tap
on the throw button. However, if thrown wrongly, the consumable could bounce
away and players need to carefully aim the throw. Consumables are kits that
usually contain a first aid kit which is used when a player is dying. Some
common components include an adrenaline syringe, energy drink, painkiller,
bandage, first aid kit, med kit and a gas can.
New Tiers Introduced
The BGMI 1.5 update has also introduced a new tier called
Ace Master, which sit between the Ace and Conqueror tier. The update will also
overhaul the tier icons and level-up effects visuals. There’s a new point
system as well called Challenge Point. Players can earn a Challenge Point by
completing a game without neglecting their teammates, leaving mid-game, or
attacking teammates. Players with a certain level of challenge points will be
able to reduce the deducted ranking points when they’re eliminated from the
battle early. The update also brings Season Series Rewards for players who
achieve Diamond, Crown, and Ace tiers.
Mission Ignition Mode
The new BGMI update will also introduce a new theme mode
called Mission Ignition Mode for a limited duration. The new mode will be added
to the Erangel map. This mode has six high-tech regions of Erangel namely the
Transit Center, Georgopol, Tech Center, Sosnovka Security Center, Logistics
Agency, and Energy Center. These locations are basically transformed Pochinki,
Port of Georgopol, School, Military Base, Yasnaya Polyana, and Mylta Power. The
new mode will feature air conveyors, ASM Abakan gun, anti-gravity motorcycle,
riot shield, HyperLines, and autonomous semi-trucks carrying supplies. The G-38
Gravity Free Motorcycle is the highlight, which can hover above the surface and
thus can move over both land and water. The air conveyor catapults up to two
players into the air and acts as a transportation tool, whereas the ASM Abakan
is an assault rifle that supports fully automatic, burst and semi-automatic
mode. Another futuristic addition to the Mission Ignition Mode is the robotic
Patrol Dog, which can be found by following the puppy icon in the minimap. The
Patrol Dog helps players spot rare and high-end items. Apart from this, there’s
a Tactical Marking Device which will let players check the direction of the
teammate’s firing, enemy location, street information, and nearby grenade. The
High-Tech City also offers Riot Shield to players which is bullet-proof and can
be deployed in case of emergency. However, it’s one-time use only and cannot be
moved once deployed.
Improved Combat Settings
In the BGMI July Update, the developers have added improved
combat settings to enhance the gameplay. Players can now set the sensitivity
level of each gun individually, copy and modify the sensitivity of guns, and
store the preferred setting on the cloud.
New graphics settings
A new graphics option that’s lower than smooth is added for
lower-specification budget smartphones, which might be BGMI’s alternative to
PUBG Mobile Lite. Additionally, Krafton has added a new 90fps option in the
frame rate settings for some new devices. The game now lets players adjust
gyroscope sensitivity, the sensitivity of tilt camera control while firing, and
reverse the up and down effect of the gyroscope. The game now has a Do not pick
up discarded items option as well, which prevents auto pick up of discarded
scopes and other items. Lastly, there is an Advance Pick-Up option, which lets
players pick-up and set their favourite attachments for weapons, this means
when the player picks up the set attachment, it automatically replaces whatever
attachment is currently in use.
