PUBG Mobile celebrates the arrival of Lionel Messi as honorary captain of the Global Chicken Cup with Update 2.3 by offering a host of football-themed items (in-game outfits, vehicles), events and more. As PUBG Mobile kicks off an unforgettable sports season, one beautiful game meets another! Players will also be able to unlock a host of new cosmetics as part of Cycle 3 Season 9 and Royale Pass Month 17.
PUBG Mobile 2.3 update has been released!
In Update 2.3, Lionel Messi will take over the captaincy of the PUBG MOBILE Global Chicken Cup, bringing with it a host of rewards for players ready to enter the game, as well as changes to the maps. Don’t forget to get Messi’s event invitation to win exclusive rewards, including the co-op jersey, available from tomorrow!
Players who find themselves on the battlefields of Erangel, Livik and Nusa will have the opportunity to discover Messi’s Golden shoes. These shoes will give their wearers a valuable speed boost or take advantage of the Great Soccer Ball, which can be used after kicking to pull opponents towards the landing spot!
On the other hand, the single-player Zorb Soccer Ball Vehicle encapsulates players in a huge soccer ball that can be thrown into the air by teammates. More exclusive Messi items and outfits will also be available later in Update 2.3 starting November 23.
With the arrival of the Football Carnival area, Erangel’s mine has completely changed! Stroll around custom-built tracks in the Zorb Football Truck and enjoy a beautiful new cityscape inspired by Middle Eastern architecture, filled with extra materials and themed items. Players will also be encouraged to purchase the Rebirth Card, which will automatically appear in the area to take advantage of a new chance on the battlefield, with access to a new treasury that only opens after a certain period of time and contains even more valuable materials.
In addition to all this, players will be able to reach football fields of different sizes, where they can gain extra materials by connecting the Wonderful Soccer Balls scattered around Erangel with the nets. Players can also use Giant Soccer Balls, which provide great protection but explode after taking too much damage. Finally, players will wield Football Flare weapons that summon football-shaped chests and have the opportunity to prepare for battle on the football-themed Start Island. Thus, players will be able to try many innovations of the update before the game even starts.
Update 2.3 will emphasize team building in the spirit of the football season. The update will include the Unite for One Goal event, where for the first time in the Rank Up With Friends system, players will help each other rank up faster and form teams! Those who play on a team with their friends every day from November 20 to December 3 will be able to enjoy a wide range of benefits, including rank protection, extra points when finishing in the top 30, and double the challenge points.
PUBG MOBILE Update 2.3 also marks the start of Cycle 3 Season 9, bringing with it a host of new Legendary items, as well as updates to the tier goal system, distributing additional rewards for reaching set season goals.
Royale Pass Month 17: Star Glory content, updated RP Favorite Crates, and more coming November 19th! Other innovations will include details such as a system to flag teammates if they appear in the in-match Aircraft Rankings, Bonus RP Points, and Group Buying.
Players can also look forward to appearing on the battlefields soon as part of an as-yet-unannounced collaboration with a world-renowned car manufacturer. Stay tuned for more details on what’s to come!
Joining these exciting new additions in the update are two new purchasable characters, Lorenzo and Laith, as well as the new Myth Factory Wheel of Fortune event that will give you the chance to own Legendary items. PUBG MOBILE’s annual Cyber Week will also return on November 20 with Cyber Famous Weapons and Cyber Login Benefits.
A number of other improvements have also been made in PUBG MOBILE, including weather and transportation updates, security improvements, upgrades to firearms, and much more in Erangel, Livik, and Nusa. The Official Aftermath Mode will also be available later in the 2.3 update.
