New Delhi, 13th July 2021 – KRAFTON, the South Korean video game developer, has announced the introduction of Mission Ignition Mode and a partnership with the forward-thinking automotive brand, TESLA in BATTLEGROUNDS MOBILE INDIA.

The MG3, which can take up to a 6X scope and no other attachments, is a light machine gun that may be obtained by airdrops while playing classic maps apart from Karakin. 

Instead, the M249, which was previously airdropped, will now appear directly on the map for loot.

For the first time, gyroscope sensitivity can be changed, Third Person Perspective (TPP) camera angles can be tuned, and ammo indicators allow for more finesse in strategy. 

90FPS is now supported on a host of new devices, while a graphical option lower than smooth has been added for low end devices. 

Sand Bottle Exchanges have been added to the Events section as a free event. 

Players can complete challenges to earn Sand Bottles, which they can then swap for great prizes! 

Some brand-new events has been added to the mix, including Damage Missions, Movement Missions and, in keeping with the theme, all-new Mission Ignition Events.

KRAFTON also announced the Royale Pass Month system, RPM1 for the inaugural month, for BATTLEGROUNDS MOBILE INDIA in this update.

Each Royale Pass Month lasts for a month, priced at a cost of 360UC, with the highest rank achievable limited to 50. 

Keeping in line with player feedback, the introduction of the Challenge Point System rewards players for positive behavior such as not quitting, not using friendly fire or going AFK.

The new Mission Ignition mode will have six major places on the Erangel map which will be transformed into research and energy facilities. 

Players will be able to enjoy a whole new method of tactically manipulating the game with the addition of combat features such as patrol robots, information collectors. 

The automatic Hyperline which transports players is another eye-catching feature.

With this update, BATTLEGROUNDS MOBILE INDIA will also feature a partnership with the innovative brand, TESLA. 

Attracted by the technological leaps being made on Erangel, Tesla has installed their Gigafactory in four fixed locations across the map. Players can enter the Gigafactory and watch the production of a Tesla Model Y from start to finish. 

They can then drive away in their new car and also experience the ground-breaking autopilot feature available in all Tesla vehicles. A self-driving Tesla Semi will also spawn randomly on rural roads and automatically run along specific routes. 

Players can deal damage to the Semi to force its supply boxes to drop and obtain combat supplies.

Finally, the last big announcement is Clan Clash. With Clan Clash, clans can fight against each other in a fortnightly battle and get Clan Points. 

Care will be taken to make sure Clans have similar activity level before being pitted against each other.

Each event will end with the individual and clan contributions summing up to crown a winner with fabulous rewards.

ABOUT TESLA 

TESLA was founded in 2003 by a group of engineers who wanted to prove that people didn’t need to compromise to drive electric 

– that electric vehicles can be better, quicker and more fun to drive than gasoline cars. 

Today, TESLA builds not only all-electric vehicles but also infinitely scalable clean energy generation and storage products. 

TESLA believes the faster the world stops relying on fossil fuels and moves towards a zero-emission future, the better.

TESLA vehicles are produced at its factory in Fremont, California and Gigafactory Shanghai. 

To achieve our goal of having the safest factories in the world, TESLA is taking a proactive approach to safety, 

requiring production employees to participate in a multi-day training program before ever setting foot on the factory floor. 

From there, TESLA continues to provide on-the-job training and track performance daily so that improvements can be made quickly. 

The result is that TESLA’s safety rate continues to improve while production ramps.

To create an entire sustainable energy ecosystem, TESLA also manufactures a unique set of energy solutions, 

Powerwall, Powerpack and Solar Roof, enabling homeowners, businesses, and utilities to manage renewable energy generation, storage, and consumption. 

And this is just the beginning. With TESLA building its most affordable car yet, 

TESLA continues to make products accessible and affordable to more and more people, ultimately accelerating the advent of clean transport and clean energy production. 

Electric cars, batteries, and renewable energy generation and storage already exist independently, but when combined, they become even more powerful that’s the future we want.
