PUBG
Mobile gets a new Hundred Rhythms mode that can be played only in Erangel.
Players will get an armband that will allow them to choose one of three skills
on the spawn island. The skills include Guardian Armband, Recon Armband, and
Camouflage Armband. These can be upgraded by collecting cassettes in the map.
These armbands come with one active skill and two passive skills each. The
Guardian Armband can create a barrier that reduces damage taken from bullets.
The Recon Armband allows a player to throw a scanning device that scans and
marks enemies. The Camouflage Armband allows players to change their attire to
a Ghillie suit for a limited time, concealing the weapons and the backpack.
