The update brings a revamped version of the Northwest side of the Varenga map. There are new ruins in the map that have finally made their way to the game after several Easter eggs. The tunnels in the Southern mountain range have also got an explorable hall within the mountains.

The new weapons added with the 0.18.0 update in PUBG Mobile Lite are the P90 sub-machine gun and the MP5K sub-machine gun. The P90 is exclusive to the Arena game mode while the MP5K is part of the Classic mode. Arena mode also gets integrated vault function, sliding function, and a grenade indicator. The attachments for pistols can now be added to sub-machine guns. Additionally, the M16 Rifle can now be equipped with a stock.
