PUBG Mobile, the mobile version of the popular battle royale game, is introducing a new themed mode called Mecha Fusion. This update brings three unique, pilotable mechs to the map, adding a new dimension to the gameplay.
PUBG Mobile's Mecha Fusion Update: A Giant Leap for Battle Royale
PUBG Mobile, the mobile adaptation of the hit battle royale, is set to bring in the big guns with the new themed mode, Mecha Fusion. And in case you were skeptical, yes, it's exactly what it says on the tin. Mecha Fusion adds three unique, pilotable mechs to the map for players to hop into and use to achieve dominance on the battlefield.
The mechs can be found in Assembly Bases across the map as well as on the huge new map feature, the Steel Ark. A sort of futuristic ship, the Steel Ark boasts a huge indoor space for you to traverse and fight it out, as well as a number of mechs grouped together, ensuring everyone gets a shot at piloting one of these huge bipedal monstrosities.
As far as updates go, for once it seems as if PUBG Mobile isn't doing something totally out of left-field. Now, okay, giant robots (yes, we know it's technically mecha but if the Megas XLR theme song says giant robots, then that's good enough for us) aren't exactly normal, but this is the same game that has had magical genies and flying carpets. Moving on from stuff like the luxury car collabs and instead adding something new and interesting that drastically changes the gameplay is a good move, and we're excited to see just how these new mecha change things up.
While it does seem this is going to be limited time, until July 9th, if they follow this trend we're excited to see what else PUBG Mobile brings to the fore. And if you're looking for other games to try out this week, take a gander at our ongoing lists.

Mechs and Gameplay
The three mechs in Mecha Fusion each have their own unique abilities and playstyles. The Flamethrower Mech excels at close-range combat, while the Gatling Gun Mech provides sustained fire support from afar. The Rocket Launcher Mech is the most destructive of the three, capable of launching devastating missiles that can take out multiple enemies at once.
Players can find mechs in Assembly Bases scattered around the map. Once a player enters a mech, they gain control of its weapons and abilities. Mechs have a limited amount of health, so players must be careful not to take too much damage.
The Steel Ark is a new map feature that is exclusive to the Mecha Fusion mode. The Steel Ark is a massive futuristic ship that contains a large indoor space for players to explore and fight in. The Steel Ark also contains a number of mechs that players can use.
Strategy and Tactics
Mechs can be a powerful force on the battlefield, but they are also vulnerable to attack. Players must use strategy and tactics to maximize their effectiveness in mechs.
One important tactic is to use cover to protect yourself from enemy fire. Mechs can take cover behind buildings, trees, and other objects. Players can also use the terrain to their advantage by positioning themselves on higher ground or in areas with narrow passages.
Another important tactic is to work together with teammates. Mechs are most effective when they are used in conjunction with other units. Players can use mechs to provide cover fire for their teammates, or they can use mechs to attack enemy positions from multiple angles.
Conclusion
Mecha Fusion is a major update for PUBG Mobile that adds a new dimension to the gameplay. Mechs are a powerful force on the battlefield, but they require skill and strategy to use effectively. Players who can master the mechs will have a significant advantage in the battle royale.
