The Bramblewood Scorpion is a powerful new creature-vehicle in BGMI 4.2 that brings unique combat abilities and tactical advantages to Primewood Genesis gameplay.
The BGMI 4.2 update, titled Primewood Genesis, introduces one of the most exciting additions to the game: the Bramblewood Scorpion. This isn't just another vehicle. It's a large, creature-based mount that combines mobility, combat power, and tactical utility in ways that can completely change how you approach fights and rotations.
What Is the Bramblewood Scorpion?
The Bramblewood Scorpion is a two-seater creature designed with a scorpion shape and covered in plant-like armor with glowing cores. Its appearance features green thorny textures and glowing effects that make it look both dangerous and mysterious, fitting perfectly with the forest-themed content of the update.
Unlike traditional vehicles such as the UAZ or Coupe RB that spawn randomly on roads, the Bramblewood Scorpion must be summoned using Scorpion Horns found during matches. This summoning mechanic makes its usage more strategic and less spontaneous, rewarding teams that plan their movements carefully.
The size of the scorpion can block vision in open fields, allowing squads to fight or reposition without enemies instantly spotting their location. This changes how teams handle crossings and compound pushes, especially for well-coordinated squads.
Bramblewood Scorpion Abilities and Features
The Bramblewood Scorpion comes equipped with four powerful abilities that make it a game-changer in combat situations:
Burrow
This ability allows the scorpion to move underground while being completely protected from enemy fire. It's perfect for crossing open fields or retreating after eliminating an enemy squad. Unlike smoke grenades, Burrow provides absolute protection, though the visible tail can give away your position if enemies are paying attention.
Spike Bomb
The scorpion launches a spike bomb that creates a thorn-filled damage zone, slowing down enemies caught inside. This ability excels at area control and is especially effective against teams holding rocks, staircases, or narrow cover. Using it before an assault can disrupt enemy setups and force awkward movements.
Pincer Strike
A powerful close-range melee attack using the scorpion's pincers to deal heavy damage. This is useful for finishing knocked enemies hiding behind light cover or during hot drops when weapons are scarce.
Launch Slide
This ability throws the passenger forward into a slide, enabling fast entry into close-range fights. It pairs well with shotguns and eliminates the delay typically seen when exiting standard vehicles, making it ideal for aggressive plays.
How to Get the Bramblewood Scorpion in BGMI 4.2
The Bramblewood Scorpion is obtained through the Primewood Purification Event, which launched alongside BGMI 4.2 on January 15, 2026.
Here's how to unlock it:
Participate in the Primewood Purification Event: Navigate to the Events section and complete listed missions, which may include playing matches, surviving for a certain time, or dealing damage.
Contribute to the Global Purification Meter: Your completed missions help increase the global purification progress.
Collect Scorpion Horns: Once the purification process reaches 50% completion, Scorpion Horns will start appearing as loot during matches in the event mode. Find a horn and use it to summon the Bramblewood Scorpion to your location.
Track Your Progress: Monitor your event progress through the progress bar in the Events menu to see how close you are to unlocking full access to the scorpion features.
The unlocking system makes the Bramblewood Scorpion rarer compared to regular vehicles, preventing overuse and maintaining its strategic value.
Tactical Uses and Impact
The Bramblewood Scorpion rewards timing and positioning over raw speed. It's designed for teams that want to control terrain and create pressure during mid-game zones. Its abilities allow for:
- Safe rotations across open terrain using Burrow
- Area denial and enemy disruption with Spike Bomb
- Aggressive pushes with Launch Slide
- Close-quarters finishing power with Pincer Strike
This combination makes the scorpion more impactful than previous additions like the Armoured UAZ or Glider, which focused primarily on protection or movement. The Bramblewood Scorpion changes how fights develop by delaying exposure and shaping engagements before gun skill becomes the deciding factor.
So, don't miss the chance to experience this powerful addition once you complete the event requirements. The Bramblewood Scorpion brings a fresh tactical layer to BGMI gameplay that rewards smart planning and coordination.
