Ahead of the cultural event of Holi in India, Krafton has announced the March update for its popular mobile game Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI). It will bring various Holi-themed elements and environments to the game. The “Holi Dhamaka” update will take BGMI to version 1.9.0 and add a new Holi Dhamaka theme mode on Erangel, along with new Sky Islands, and more. Let’s take a look at what all is new in the Holi Dhamaka update for BGMI.
Krafton has officially released the patch notes of its latest Holi Dhamaka update for BGMI. Starting with the new Holi Dhamaka theme mode in Erangel, players can enter it by tapping the new arrow button in the bottom-right corner of the screen, under the “Ranked” tab in the game. Moreover, updating the game to the latest version will earn players a “Wild Ambition” set that will be available to use for a week.
Following this, players can collect coins of the same color as their heads from the four different-colored zones in the Sky Islands. These coins can then be used on the battleground, once the player comes back to the battleground from a Sky Island by either dying or jumping off from the island voluntarily.
The Sky Islands will remain for a limited period and will disappear after the timer at the top-right corner runs out. Furthermore, if players encounter an enemy in the Sky Islands, they can shoot them to make their heads bigger which will, in turn, float them away from the island and eventually take them back to the battleground underneath. However, teammates can shoot a floating player to bring them down to the Sky Island.
Apart from these additions, Krafton has made some changes to some areas of Erangel like the Sosnovka Bridge. The company also added an indoor shooting range, a new random mode in both ranked and unranked matchmaking, and more. You can check out the official patch notes for the BGMI Holi Dhamaka update or watch the March update preview video on BGMI’s official Instagram to get more information about the upcoming features.
