Tencent is seeding PUBG Mobile 0.12.0 update to players around the world. The 0.12.0 update which entered into beta earlier this month brings in a host of new additions to the zombie mode, a bunch of bug fixes and general gameplay improvements. PUBG Mobile also unveiled its Prime and Prime Plus subscription which starts at Rs 79 in India and provides players with in-game items along with discounts in the shop and on crates.

Here is everything that has been added with PUBG Mobile 0.12.0 update.

New EvoZone mode with zombie events

Up until the last update, the various zombie modes that have been included in the game were listed under "Event Mode". After 0.12.0 update, the zombie events are now listed under EvoZone mode and includes Survive Till Dawn and Darkest Night zombie events. The developers have assured that more events will be added in the near future.

A new zombie mode, Darkest Night has been added to EvoZone which pits the players against zombies for a night. All the teams surviving the onslaught till dawn will win the match.

Zombie: Survive Till Dawn mode has received a couple of new additions along with tweaks to existing gameplay elements. In this mode, the zombies have been given the ability to jump, climb over walls and on roofs. Zombie dogs have also been included with the update. Some of the improvements that come with the update include fine-tuning the M134 mini-gun for better in-game handling, flamethrower dealing more damage than before among others.
