What’s New in the BGMI 3.9 Update?
The BGMI 3.9 Update is huge, with tons of new features and changes that will keep you hooked for hours. Here’s what you can expect:
Transformers-Themed Mode
This is the star of the update! The new Transformers mode lets you summon Optimus Prime and Megatron onto the battlefield using a Spacebridge Beacon. Once summoned, these legendary Transformers will help you fight, and you’ll be able to use their amazing skills:
- Optimus Prime: He can switch between truck and robot mode, swinging a thermal axe for his normal attacks. His ultimate move, “Charge Slam,” lets him dash and knock down enemies—especially dangerous against Megatron!
- Megatron: He transforms from tank to robot and uses a huge cannon. His special attack, “Triple Fusion Blast,” is great for keeping distance from foes.
If Optimus Prime and Megatron meet on the field, you’ll see a special duel zone appear for a dramatic showdown!
New Places, Vehicles, and More
- New Locations: Look out for Neon Town and Neon Outpost on the map, plus a new Galaxy Burger Shop for unique loot.
- Hoverboard Vehicle: Zip around the map on the new hoverboard, doing tricks, shooting on the move, and making your getaway in style!
- Loot and Crates: Hunt for Cybertronian and Energon Supply Crates for special rewards and Transformer upgrades.
Other Updates
- Updates to Metro Royale, Ranked Arena, and more.
- New bosses and monsters in WOW mode—fight an ice dragon and battle special zombies!
- The Ink Blaster weapon is coming for players who want to try something new.
All in all, get your game ready by clearing up space and making sure your device is updated. Once the BGMI 3.9 Update drops, jump in early to check out all the new modes and features.
