Krafton recently announced that they introduced a small PUBG Mobile update on May 17, 2024, via a tweet on the game's official X handle. Based on the announcement, the developers made necessary improvements and changes to the latest 3.2 version, complying with the feedback they received from users worldwide.

Acknowledging the player feedback, the developers also mentioned the update was being implemented without the servers taken offline.


What improvements and changes were made in the PUBG Mobile update on May 17?

Players worldwide who downloaded the recently launched PUBG Mobile 3.2 update faced major problems while playing the new theme mode (Mecha Fusion) on classic mode maps.

While the 3.2 update features were plenty, many did not perform as expected. Hence, the PUBG Mobile update on May 17 was important for providing a hassle-free experience to users.

Here's a look at the various changes that were made in the PUBG Mobile update on May 17:

  1. Mecha stomp damage was mitigated to a great extent, and balance adjustments were made to mecha health.
  2. Increased the distance within which the Strider and Armamech movements and jumps can be heard.
  3. Levitron and Armamech’s “Magnetize” ability maximum effective range was reduced to 35 meters.
  4. The missile reload time of the Strider and Armamech was increased from 5 seconds to 6 seconds.
  5. A bug where mechas’ sound would not be heard behind or within narrow spaces at various times was fixed.
  6. The quantity of Levitrons and Striders spawning on the Mecha Fusion - Livik map was reduced.
  7. Improvement was made to the “Magnetize” ability to reduce the disturbance faced by some users. According to the developers, after breaking free from a teammate’s “Magnetize" ability, they cannot affect you again using the ability for the next two minutes. In addition, it cannot be used on you while you are consuming any consumables, reviving your teammates, or reviving yourself.

Many other changes were also made for game improvements. Here's a look at them.

  1. Point calculation was revised for some special qualities in the Collection System. Dynamic effects were added to the “Grandmaster Collector” title acquired at Collection Level 94.
  2. A bug where some upgraded items in the Collection System's Themed tab incorrectly displayed their pre-upgraded point value was fixed.
  3. Other improvements.

The developers will be hoping that the improvements made in the PUBG Mobile update on May 17, 2024, will provide a great experience to players.
