With Tesla's support, the South Korean tech giant, Krafton, will now serve updates for its game, Battlegrounds Mobile India and the new feature will be christened as ‘Mission Ignition Mode’. Users can now have a peek at virtual versions of Tesla’s Gigafactory, including the making of its Model Y automobile. This means that gamers can take a front to watch the making of the model from the start to the finish

Gamers can access the factory the moment the update is up and running from four fixed locations across Erangel's map.

The game will undoubtedly also display other features such as new armour and a Challenge Point System that appears to award players for ‘positive’ behaviour.

But be it a one-time or long-term partnership, it's believed to coincide well with the technological breakthroughs done on one of the fictional settings for the game, called Erangel. Besides, this partnership with Tesla soars above everything else, particularly in India, since the next-generation electric vehicle (EV) maker has been on the run to be the change.

Gamers on Low-End Devices can Opt New Graphic Option
Gamers can now transform with the gyroscope sensitivity as well as a specific 90fps option for newer devices, with credits to Krafton efforts of redesigning the settings. This also means that gamers have the key to customize sensitivity of their weaponry.

Talking about the gamers gaming on low-end devices, they can hop on new graphics which are a little less smooth than smooth. Also, they can adjust the camera angles in third person perspective (TPP).

The M249 will be replaced in the supply crate by a new MG3 light machine gun (LMG), which can be obtained from airdrops while playing Classic maps and from the Karakin map. Since the former was unavailable in airdrops formerly, it’s now made available in field drops and will appear directly on the map.

The MG3 gun has the power of 6x scope and will now always be fired-up with a 7.62 ammo fueling it and what’s more is that its magazine can hold up to 75 bullets per reload. Healing consumables are also given, which can be used from the trajectory slot.

Part of the update also includes the acquisition of the new Royale Pass Month system.

Gamers can Compete, Earn 'Sand Bottles' and Win 'Prizes'
The 'Sand Bottle Exchanges' hailing from the event section of the game, will power gamers to complete challenges, earn a sand bottle or two and will be rewarded with amazing prizes. Another one down the can is that this event is totally out there for free.

However, the game adds in two more missions named Damage Missions and Movement Missions.

While that’s on the go, a new mission called Ignition Mission mode, will now flip Erangel’s map into a research and energy hub complete with patrol robots, data collectors, and autonomous Hyperline. Technically, it boosts clans to battle their way into the fortnight fights for Clan Points through their own unique Clan Clash mode. Additionally, this mode will teleport gamers from part to the next and if that wasn’t enough, Erangel’s map will now boast six new locations.

30-Day Royal Pass Month at 360UC
There’s one for the royalty club and that is, RPM1, a new royale pass month system that lasts for 30 days and costs 360UC, with the highest rank available being limited to 50. For the brave hearts who don’t give up, the company has come up with a 'Challenge Point System', that credits those strong-willed gaming folks for positive behavior like not quitting or not using friendly fire. This modification particularly comes in response to the gamers’ initial feedback.

“A slew of new features has been added to improve the gameplay. For the first time, gyroscope sensitivity can be adjusted, Third Person Perspective (TPP) camera angles can be adjusted, and ammo indicators allow for greater strategic delicacy. A graphics option lower than smooth has been provided for low end devices, and 90FPS is now supported on a variety of new devices,” the company added.

Ticket to Watch the Formation of Tesla's Model Y
Krafton will project the next-generation EV maker’s Gigafactory in four fixed locations which are accessible upon entry on the Erangel’s map.

Gamers can go into any of the listed Gigafactories and observe a Tesla Model Y being built from beginning to the end.

But that’s not all, gamers will also have a chance to test drive the new automobile and use its autopilot mode. Self-driving Tesla Semi trucks, on the other hand, will be available on rural roads and will automatically drive on predetermined routes. However, damage to the trucks can cause their supply boxes to drop, allowing gamers to collect combat supplies.

By downloading the Battlegrounds Mobile India update from the Google Play store, BGMI gamers will be able to enjoy all the latest upgrades and enhancements.

Crosses the 34 Million User Base
The announcement comes only days after BGMI topped the 34 million user milestone within the week of its launch dated July 2nd. The game has 16 million daily active gamers and 2.4 million peak concurrent gamers.

Since its first tease, the game has racked up a whopping 40 million pre-registrations and has gained quite the clout on social media. The Battle Royale craze in India and PUBG Mobile's fan base never dissipated, as seen by The Launch Party's massive viewership. Over 547k people watched the first tournament of the newly-released game. Apart from that, the Battlegrounds Mobile India developer has teased Indian-only events and leagues. They want to keep investing in the Indian gaming and esports ecosystem to help it grow.

In addition, the developer intends to reveal a Battlegrounds Mobile India esports roadmap (BGMI) starting July 15.

Considering the massive download numbers, it doesn’t come as a surprise if the game did not have an active user base and not to mention the diehard fans of PUBG.

In the meantime, iOS users are still waiting for Battlegrounds Mobile India to be released on the device. It's expected that the game will be published this week, around the start of the new season.
