Major features that PUBG Mobile players will be thrilled to experience in the upcoming 2.2 update

Similar to other major updates in PUBG Mobile, the upcoming 2.2 update will bring along a plethora of features that add variety to the BR gaming experience.

Here's an overview of the five best features that will be worth experiencing in the upcoming 2.2 update:

1) New map - Nusa

A new 1x1 map, Nusa, will be available in the forthcoming September update. Nusa will be the seventh classic mode map after Erangel, Miramar, Sanhok, Livik, Vikendi, and Karakin. However, unlike other classic mode maps, its smaller dimensions will ensure that players engage in fights for the entire duration of the match.

Set on a tourist island, the new map will have multiple features such as lifts, special recall, ziplines, and beachballs. New weapons like NS2000 Shotgun and Tactical Crossbow, along with a two-seater vehicle, Quad, will be exclusive features of the Nusa map.

The map will be introduced in PUBG Mobile on 15 September at 2:00 am (UTC + 0)

Here's a look at the changes to the Erangel map:

• New weather (Rainbow)

Like every major update, the 2.2 update will have a new Royale Pass (Month 15) and a new season (Cycle 3 Season 8). While the new Royale Pass will bring in plenty of items and cosmetics as rank rewards, the new season will also offer tier rewards.

However, the C3S8 and the Month 15 RP will only be released on 21 September.

5) Other notable changes

A new European-style themed area called Strange Town will be available on the ranked map of Erangel. Players can visit the area while playing on the map between 2:00 am on 29 September and 11:59 pm on 14 November (UTC + 0).

Apart from this, significant improvements have been made to air-drop exclusive weapons like AUG A3 and Mk14. Changes have also been made to DMRs like SKS and Mini14 for a better sniping experience.

The developers have mentioned that the Halloween themed mode will appear in the game on 13 October, after a gap of two years.
