PUBG 0.12.0 is now LIVE: Darkest night mode, jumping zombies and more
Tremble, mere mortal, for zombies can now climb over low walls and small obstacles.
PUBG Mobile's latest and not-so-secret 0.12.0 update should soon be available on Android and iOS. The update features a brand new gameplay mode, tweaks to zombie, new weapons and the option of spectating friends, not to mention a whole host of tweaks and updates.
Darkest Night mode
A major feature of the update is the recently teased 'Darkest Night' mode, which will require players to survive a night in a toxic, zombie-infested map. Interestingly, all teams (or solo players) that survive the night will win. Tencent also explains that each player will have a 'passive skill' of some sort. The company hasn't specified what form this passive skill takes and whether there are complementary skills that will reward smart team play.[caption id="attachment_6460211" align="alignnone" width="1024"]
PUBG Mobile 0.12.0 adds a brand new zombie survival mode.[/caption]
Survive Till Dawn mode updates
This mode sees a bunch of tweaks. Stun grenades will now stun zombies (go figure) and zombies can now climb over small obstacles and low walls. New jumping zombies and dogs will also be introduced. To go with this, you get some new weapons, including an RPG-7 – which should be perfect for decimating zombie hordes – and even flamethrowers for better crowd control. These alone are reason enough for checking out the update.Other tweaks include changes to weapon balancing, gunshots slowing zombies, daily missions and more.
