PUBG Mobile 0.9.0 Update Brings Night Mode in Erangel, New Weapons


Tencent Games is all set to roll out the much-awaited PUBG Mobile 0.9.0 update with new weather, map improvements, festival effects. The 0.9.0 update is already live on the PUBG Mobile beta which is currently full.
The update will roll out later this month and fans are likely to be divided many of the changes, which do make PUBG Mobile a little more difficult to master for new players.

Night Mode on PUBG Mobile

The update brings a ton of changes to Erangel, including Night Mode, which means the most popular map on PUBG will alternate between day and night randomly when you are playing in Classic Mode.
There’s night mode now, so you need Night Vision goggles to hunt in the dark, which sounds exciting and terrifying at the same time. The developers have added new buildings in certain areas, more cover next to rivers and more trees and foliage in some empty areas, which presumably help players with other modes such as War mode.

Tencent Games has added a Movie picture style to settings to go with the four options currently. This will apply to all maps.

New Weapons and Vehicles in Sanhok

It’s not all fun and games. Tencent has added a new weapon in Sanhok, replacing the fan favourite Mini14. The new weapon is the QBU DMR, which fires 5.56mm rounds and should be familiar to PC players. The Sanhok-exclusives QBZ and QBU now have new magazine attachment models too. Sanhok will also get a Rony pickup truck.
Speaking of vehicles, the devs have added a random music play feature in vehicles, which you can turn off in vehicle settings. Some sound effects, driver and passenger views in first person perspective have been tweaked, while bullet spread accuracy when crouching or standing, recoil and stability have been changed too.

Matchmaking Improvements

There are a ton of other changes as announced by PUBG. Matchmaking should be faster now, claims Tencent Games, with more accurate ETAs, and players should reach their appropriate tiers more easily. Secondly, after you are killed in a match, you can watch other opponent players until the end of the match.

Halloween Theme

PUBG Mobile is also getting a Halloween themed makeover with new themes, backgrounds and music. You can also see the Halloween them running through the Spawn Island where you wait for the match to begin. The island has gone through a festival Halloween makeover, with pumpkins and candies instead of apples.
There are other cool thematic changes. Enemies killed by Hellfire-AKM will become scarecrows, a spooky face will appear when a grenade explodes, and you have a 50% chance of a Night Mode match during this festive season.
Other festive additions include a Share for Deals feature, which helps you get bargains on items. You can earn ‘candies’ through a Halloween Lucky Draw to get Halloween-exclusive vehicle finishes, Trick Ticket Scraps, which can be combined into Trick Tickets for the lucky draw. Additionally, crew leaders can register their Crews for the Crew Challenge tournament. with bonus rewards for entering the Group stage and the Finals.

What's With All the Squares? QR Codes A QR code is comprised of an array of squares, some of which are used for the image sensor to position itself (that's the large squares on three of the corners), while the rest of the cells contain version and format information as well as the data itself, of course, along with error correction coding. Whereas most of the barcodes you come across are one-dimensional, such as UPC labels on items at the store, QR codes are two-dimensional and offer many advantages. For instance, QR codes can be scanned in any direction instead of only one, they can contain thousands of alphanumeric characters versus only a dozen or so, and when configured with a high level of error correction they are particularly capable at continuing to function after sustaining damage. The more error correction a QR code has, the less data it can store and incidentally, the more data that is stored within a QR code, the more squares it will have. More squares are a

Google is killing off its Gmail substitute app before it could become popular Inbox came with provisions for snoozing emails to later, trying latest artificial intelligence (AI)-powered experiences like Smart Reply, Nudges, high-priority notifications Google is set to shut down its alternate mailing app Inbox in March 2019, giving users time to shift to the traditional Gmail by then, the company has said in a blog post. Launched in 2014, Inbox was introduced as an innovative new email app that lived alongside Gmail and served as an experimental platform for Google to try newer mailing features that could be incorporated in Gmail later. However, it could not gather enough user base and updates to justify its existence. “We want to take a more focussed approach to help us bring the best email experience to everyone. As a result, we’re planning to focus solely on Gmail and say goodbye to ‘Inbox’ at the end of March 2019,” Matthew Izatt, Product Manager at Gm

Telecom firms are back to square one  The Supreme Court order disallowing telecom operators from using Aadhaar for verification will prolong the time taken to get mobile phone connections and could increase customer acquisition costs by as much as 10 times.  “With enrolment via Aadhaar, we took 30 minutes to get a customer on board and now one will have to wait for 5-6 days for our officers to go to their addresses and verify their details. It seems like we have gone back in time and now enrolment will happen slowly, like th e earlier times,” said a senior executive of a private telco.   The apex court’s verdict curbing the use of the unique identity number will also add financial pressure on the industry, which is reeling under debt of more than Rs 7 lakh crore amid competition that is eroding revenue and profitability.  The cost of enrolling a new customer with Aadhaar is about Rs 30, according to another senior telecom company executive. Now, with verification going back to ol
