PUBG Mobile 0.19.0 Update: Official changelog and Royale Pass Season 14

PUBG Mobile‘s latest update, version 0.19.0 is finally coming on 7th July. This update is highly anticipated by players all around the globe, as it includes a new map Livik. There are also other updates like the ‘Spark the Flame’ and ‘The Ancient Secret’ themed mode in classic maps, new Arena etc. Let’s see what are the complete features and updates of the 0.19.0 update of PUBG Mobile.

Features of the PUBG Mobile 0.19.0 update

New Map: Livik

PUBG Mobile is introducing a new Nordic-style map called Livik in the latest update. The map spans over an area of 2x2km, making it the smallest map in the game.

The game time in this map will be 15 minutes, so this is going to be like a quick-match in a new map with all new features. Well, Livik is a special map and it will have its own features:

• New weapons: P90 (SMG), MK12 (DMR)
• New vehicle: Monster truck

Tencent also has planned for a ‘super firearm training’ mode for Livik, which is scheduled to appear later in the game.

Livik super firearm training

In this event mode, Experimental Trial Weapon Crates containing a special weapon will appear on Livik. Special weapons look similar to normal weapons, but there are differences in the names, icons, etc. Experimental Trial Weapons have slightly better stats than normal weapons which we have been using so far in PUBG Mobile. You can also view your firing and hit stats with your Experimental Trial Weapon after leaving the match.

Our detailed Livik guide is coming very soon, so stay tuned!

‘Spark the Flame’ themed gameplay

This themed mode will be available in the classic mode for Erangel and Miramar maps, which are the oldest maps of PUBG. You have a chance to enter this mode after selecting these maps in classic mode. It seems as if this mode will be all about finding statues in-game.

• Small Statue: Small statues burn up after interaction with players. They drop supplies and event items after burning.
• Giant Statue: Giant statues have multiple construction stages that change as the themed event progresses. They burn in the final stage.
• Statue Camp: There are tents around the statue. You have to enter them to search for supplies.

‘The Ancient Secret’ themed gameplay

This themed mode is scheduled to appear later in the update. You can choose whether you want to participate in this mode or not, from settings on the Mode Selection screen. The features of this mode take us back to the old days:

• Ancient Temple: Ancient Temples are large, major buildings with a two-story structure. They initially sit on the ground but start to float in the air after a fixed period of time and move slowly with the play zone.
• Slate puzzle: These are interactive puzzles made up of ancient slates.
• Boss fight: You can fight the ‘boss’ of a temple after making it to the sealed room on the second floor of the Ancient Temple. If you defeat the boss, you earn many rewards.
• Small Ruins: These are randomly-appearing ruins with crates and puzzles, and small rewards inside.

Season Warm-up Event: ‘Unranked Classic’ mode

Royale Pass Season 14 is set to arrive on 14th July. Before the season update, a season warm-up event will be available for a limited time. After joining the event, players will be able to battle in squads in the ‘Unranked Classic Mode‘ and can complete missions to earn a small amount of Season 14 ranking points, which will be converted into Season 14 rating points after the season update.

Changes in Mode availability times

Some changes will be there in the availability of game modes, such as:

• Payload and RageGear modes will only be available during the weekend.
• Bluehole Mode will come to an end with the update.

New Arena: Team Gun Game

New Arena Gameplay – Team Gun Game will come on July 31st after the update. Players will be able to play it on Friday, Saturday, and Sundays only.

This arena in the 0.19.0 Update will bring PUBG Mobile’s first-ever indoor map, the Library.

---

Other Arena related updates

New Arena Attachment

PUBG Mobile 0.19.0 update will bring a new Loadout attachment, called the Barrel Extender. This is a muzzle attachment that can be used with the vast majority of Snipers, ARs, and SMGs. This attachment is going to be of great use since it increases the firearm’s effective range and reduces the damage reduction of bullets due to distance.

Arena Firearm Damage Reduction Adjustment

Damage reduction models of all weapons are now layered based on operational distance. The order of effective operational distances for various weapons is (from near to far): Shotguns>SMGs>Rifles>Sniper Rifles.

Main Gameplay improvements

Basic Gameplay Experience

• The screen lockup issue at “Loading” when entering the battle on an unstable network is now resolved.
• Good news for players with low-end devices as the rendering smoothness on low and mid-performing devices is now fixed.
• For high-end devices, battery usage time has now been improved, meaning the game will consume less battery percentage from now on.
• Lag which used to occur due to HDR settings on some devices is now reduced.

Pick Up Improvements

Players can now go to the Pick-Up tab in Settings to choose whether they pick up Quickdraw Mags or Extended Mags first. Previously there was no option like this, so now the players will have less confusion regarding this.

Combat Operation Settings

You can now switch on/off settings for Scope and Peek buttons to rotate the camera.

Prolonged Hit Effects

PUBG Mobile has provided more colour schemes for Hit Effects and Received Damage effects in the 0.19.0 update to give players more options for customization.

Improvement of Parachuting Gauge Display

Players can now see detailed altitude and speed gauge displays during parachuting.

Jump Following & Tips

You can now add tips to remind the leader to mark the landing zone on the mini-map.

When picking up supplies, the item name is highlighted in the pick-up tips to emphasize the information.

Backpack

When the Backpack is full and you cannot pick up an item, the item’s position in the pick-up list will not change from now on.

Flare Gun

When a flare gun fails to fire, it will now display a tip that clearly notifies the player that a failure has occurred. Previously players used to get confused regarding this.

Settings Improvements

• You can now hide/disable some keys in the custom control panel.
• Dynamic holding switch is added in the FPP Mode. With the switch on, the weapon is held at a low height when not firing, thus increasing the field of view. With the switch off, the firearm will not be lowered and will appear at the same height as in Arena.
• The default pick-up amount for Frag Grenades and Smoke Grenades to 1 is adjusted.
• There’s an effect preview for energy boost items now added, which means you can see how much boost you’ll get.

• Quick Draw result screen is now improved as players can choose to join another match directly from the result screen and add friends or send gifts.

New Shooting Range Elite Challenge

Added Elite Challenge rounds after players get 100 points at the Shooting Range. This provides high-level players with a way to pursue extreme skills.

New Bubble Emotes

Players can use the new ‘vivid‘ emotes to communicate in the Cheer Park.

New Team-up Lobby Features in PUBG Mobile 0.19.0 Update

Voice recruitment feature

This is an interesting feature added for quick recruitment. Voice recruitment teams are only visible to players who have selected voice recruitment. After sending out voice invitation, the recipient is invited to converse in real-time with the host. If both players are satisfied, they become teammates. If a player selects voice recruitment, he/she must engage in a real-time voice conversation with the leader before joining the team.
