PUBG Mobile will get a new update soon which will usher in Payload 2.0. This information is contained in a new teaser shared on PUBG’s official Twitter page. The teaser doesn’t reveal the date the new update will start rolling out but a few sources tip the update to start rolling out on October 10.

PUBG Mobile first introduced the Payload mode in October 2019 and became very popular with gamers. However, for some unexplained reasons, the  feature was pulled down earlier this year. The reintroduction of this mode will also be the first major feature added to the popular game  ever since PUBG Mobile 1.0 was released last month.

In case you are not conversant with the Payload mode, here’s a summary. The Payload is based on the classic battle royale mode with the addition of heavier weaponry as well as the ability to fly helicopters. The mode included the M3E1-A rocket launcher, the MGL, and M79 grenade launchers, and RPG-7. It also included the ability to revive a dead teammate by picking up their ID Card and taking it to the nearest radio tower, similar to what we have seen on Apex Legends. This feature was also introduced to PUBG Mobile Lite earlier this year.

 

A leaked trailer for the Payload 2.0 mode (via) shows that new weapons will be added as well as armed vehicles, and the ability to hunt enemies using remote-controlled UAV. We can see a new rocket launch that looks like the M202 and a new radar system that lets you scan your area for vehicles. All the vehicles have also been upgraded with mounted weapons including rocket launchers, heavy machine guns, flamethrowers, and more. Notably, Payload 2.0 will make use of the newly released Erangel 2.0 map.

The Chinese version of the game known as Game for Peace has already received the new mode but for beta testers only.
