Players should release at least 0.6 GB of additional space on their device to make room for the PUBG Mobile 0.16.0 update. This update is more winter-oriented and is the update of the Winter Festival. At the moment, the update is live on the Google Play Store. However, the display of your device may take a few hours. Nevertheless, we have received the update on our device and here is everything that is new with the update 0.16.0.
PUBG Mobile 0.16.0 update features
As we mentioned above, the new update brings a host of new features. A major new feature is a new doubled game mode RageGear. So let's start and discover the new exciting features.
RageGear mode
RageGear mode is one of the coolest game modes to launch for PUBG Mobile. There is a total of 12 players and 6 in each team. The players are paired automatically and each player takes turns to drive and shoot. Even the RageGear mode itself has two different game modes. You can either choose to play RageGear Team Deathmatch or you can play RageGear PickUp mode.
Players must simply score the most points by destroying enemy vehicles in TDM mode. However, players must destroy vehicles as well as pick up crates of points in PickUp mode. The RageGear mode is in the EvoGrounds section.
The player has the choice between three different vehicles. A Dacia with miniguns, a UAZ with heavy weapons or a buggy with RPG launchers. The shooter can also choose from three different weapons. Either an RPG, a grenade launcher or an M249 machine gun. You do not have to worry about ammo as there is infinite ammo. The only thing you need to consider is the time to reload the weapons.
RageGear is a fun new mode that you should check after installing the PUBG Mobile 0.16.0 update.
Snow Paradise
Players now have the opportunity to enter Snow Paradise when they are lining up for a classic match at Erangle. If you select the Snow Paradise mode, you will see the snow covered appearance island and once the match started, you can take the cable cars to the snow mountains. In addition, you can ride a snowboard and play freestyle snowboarding.

Turn on or off the slide
The previous update of PUBG Mobile resulted in the slide movement in TDM games. The slide is triggered as you move and press the squat button. However, if you are not comfortable with the slide movement, you can now disable the setting. Just go to Settings in the game and disable Slide.
Balancing weapons
The developers have also changed the damage of some weapons in the update PUBG Mobile 0.16.0. Specifically, the AWM's damage has been slightly lowered from 132 to 120. However, bolted action sniper rifles now deal 30% extra damage to the torso. There are also a bunch of other weapon adjustments that are mentioned in the update notice.
Other changes and improvements
PUBG Mobile has a lot of cheats who use all sorts of hacks to take over against the enemies. Several PUBG Mobile streamers have been charged with using a secondary account with ESP to watch them. This allows the player to see the location of enemies via the spectator account. Thus, nothing proves that the player uses a hack on his main account.
The PUBG Mobile 0.16.0 update will now prevent low level players from watching high level players. This new feature should help prevent cheaters from using the spectator account to cheat.
In addition to the anti-cheat function, there are several other minor improvements. Players from another team will no longer be able to enter the BRDM-2 as long as you are in the vehicle.
From now on, you can even choose to prevent a teammate from looting your box in case of friendly fire. Thus, players playing in random squads should no longer be tempted to engage a friendly shot. Another useful feature is the ability to continuously apply bandages to restore health. This means that you no longer need to tap each bandage to heal. You can even heal while moving, although the speed of movement is reduced with a good shot.
These are the main new features provided with the PUBG Mobile 0.16.0 update. What is your favorite feature with this new update? Let us know in the comments below.
