PUBG New State's latest update now out; From balancing overhauls to Team Deathmatch in Arena, here's what's new in the game

As the Indian gaming audience is slowly shifting to PUBG New State, we bring you news on the game. PUBG New State has just launched its latest in-game update for January today. Along with many balancing improvements and changes, the Team Deathmatch Mode has now been added to the Arena. Read on for more on what’s new in PUBG New State. 

Team Deathmatch Mode now in the Arena

Along with Round Deathmatch Mode, you can now play Team Deathmatch mode in the Arena map. The first team to 30 eliminations win the match. However, if you do get eliminated, you’ll respawn at a random location, but close to your team’s base. Additionally, care packages will not be appearing in the centre of the map in Team Deathmatch Mode anymore. 

Survivor Pass Vol 15

The Keeper from the Dream Runner faction has been introduced with the Survivor Pass Vol 15., which is now available. You can now explore the Keeper’s story with the story quests available in the Pass. Once all missions have been completed, the Keeper will be yours to “collect” as a skin. 

Changes made to Shooting Gallery and Siege Mode

The additional points for the shooting range in the shooting gallery have been reduced to 500 from the earlier 800. Changes have also been made to the Siege mode’s difficulty and patterns. The rankings have been reset with this update. 

Balance Overhaul

Many weapons and vehicles have been rebalanced for a more dynamic gaming experience. Weapons include those used for long ranges like the SMGs, ARs and LMGs, especially the unpopular choices from the past. The developers have reportedly paid heed to the feedback they have received from their gamers, and have rebalanced the weapons to make them more viable. As for the vehicles, sedans and motorbikes will now visibly have more speed and handling stability. The Drone Store’s cooldown period has also been decreased, along with changes to the prices of the different items available. 

PUBG New State is brought to us from the makers of PUBG: Battlegrounds, PUBG Mobile and BGMI- Krafton. The game is free to play, and is now available for download on both iOS and Android from their respective app stores.
