PUBG Mobile Update Adds Hardcore Mode And Amusement Park

Hardcore mode is back in the latest PUBG Mobile update today, giving you the chance to show off your small-screen skills. The mode is available in the game's Arcade section, and several changes and additions have also arrived to Classic mode.

In Hardcore mode, the game is made much more challenging by removing sound prompts and making item pickups manual. This means you'll need to stay much more aware of your surroundings and keep track of every entrance and exit in a building.

Among the biggest new features added to Classic mode is a death replay function, letting you see exactly how you died so you can better prepare for the next round. Universal Marks were added, as well, with doors, death crates, vehicles, locations, and supplies all available to mark alongside enemies.

A new air drop weapon called the DBS has been added. It's a double-barrel shotgun that is extremely powerful at close range and uses 12 Gauge ammunition. It's only available via air drop and holds two shots per magazine.

User-interface and accessibility changes have been added, as well, including teammate volume control and a colorblind mode that changes color options for in-game indicators like smoke and poison. For newer players, you can also register as a Rookie for Classic mode and have more experienced players guide you through your first matches to get a feel for the game.

PUBG Mobile is about to celebrate its second anniversary, and the game's new Season 12 Royale Pass will arrive on March 9. Called "2gether We Play," it features colorful gear and rewards. There will be an amusement park set up in the original Erangel map with special attractions on March 12.
