All New Arcade Mode On PUBG: Deathmatch In Smaller Maps With Eight Player Teams

Adding more to the arcade-style gameplay, PUBG brings in new features and attributes now and then. PUBG keeps the arcade gaming in the forefront while tweaking the gaming attributes and adding in new features. The arcade mode in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds’ brings in new deathmatch features like re-spawns and improved weapons.

One of the significant additions in the PUBG gameplay is the arcade mode, which allows the players to engage in action that is much faster than the old traditional patterns. The arcade mode involves the players in an eight-on-eight head-on match, which is killed or die.

Talking about the maps for arcade gaming, there are seven different maps. Each of these maps is a patch of an existing map in the PUBG game. Every round in the map lasts for about 10 minutes and allows unlimited re-spawns. Also, the restoring time for re-spawn is less than 5 seconds. It is excellent as compared to other such arcade gameplays.

There are no lockdowns in this mode, and also friendly fire is disabled. The team which reaches the maximum number of kills sooner that is 50 kills wins the match. It is deadly gameplay that does not allow the players too much to contemplate the strategy but to push ahead with full might.

Better than the standard royale mode, the arcade mode in PUBG has gained more popularity in a short span of time. Be it frag, smoke, or stun grenades, and the fuse time decreased to allow an increased number of charges.

The New Patch

The new patch for Arcade Mode in PUBG has also changed the earlier disadvantages of peeking and leaning. It has proven to be more exposed when players lean on their left than or their right. This gives more view to the opponent, but PUBG has fixed that too.

The collective parachute feature allows the players in each of the teams to land combined in a single region to enhance the gaming experience. At the same time, it also provides a quick response to the opponent teams.

The new patch has also seen several improvements in the friends’ list, match duration, performance, replay systems, and skins. With this, the players can easily modify their specifications in the game as per individual choices.

Also, the distortion effect in the blue zone has been adjusted and removed for more precise identification of the zone and edge. Updated visual shaders, sound effects have become more intense, providing the players with more concentrated and extreme gaming experience.

However, regarding the new patch and update, PUBG is still considering opinions and feedback from the community to tweak and change the features and attributes in the game.

How To Beat Android 20 In Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot

An action playing game, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, was founded by CyberConnect 2 and was published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. The game is based on the Dragon Ball franchise and released on Jan 17, 2020.

The game was released recently for the Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One and had a single-player mode of action.

The Dragon Ball Z:

Kakarot acquired immense popularity, with 1.5 million copies being sold in its first week of release. This action game is based on the story of Goku, which is the main character of the game. It is similar to Dragon Ball Xenoverse. The game has four different accounts at different levels – Saiyan Saga, Frieza Saga, Android Saga, Majin Buu saga. Each saga has 7-8 levels.

The game comes with RPG focus. There are various activities within the game that the player can undertake, like eating food, exploring, etc. The Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot players confront the Android 20 in the Android saga of the game. Android 20 is coupled with various tricks to pull up its sleeves.

The Android 20’s primary attack is Photon Wave. This attack is characterized by the fact where Android 20 points at a red line before a beam hits ahead. At this stage, the Android 20 moves out of his to dive. At the Surge State of the Android’s 20, the Energy Balls appear. Since the balls fly at Piccolo, it is advised to keep a safe distance to ignore the projectiles.

Energy Drain trick

The Energy Drain trick is charged at Piccolo that drains up to 50,000 health of the player. The most distressing aspect of Android 20 is the ability of Android 20 to restore his health by the use of the Commence Absorption Mode, which has a white light that absorbs Ki blasts and heals it.

While the red light glows, it is advisable to keep a distance till the outpouring ends. Lastly, the counter-attack is a kind of kick that shuns and pushes the Piccolo back. This makes Android 20 free to take the moves like Photon Wave and is dangerous for the player.

The most important part of the fighting, which is seen from the moves, makes sure that Android 20, through these techniques, doesn’t heal. The second point in beating in Android 20 is to refrain from staying too long in melee range because this will stun or drain the Piccolo.

Therefore, to keep the game going for a long time in Android 20, the player should use Ki blasts and different super attacks to cut down Android 20 when the player is not in Absorption mode.

The most crucial point to be noted that while the player is in the Surge State of the Android 20, the move is represented by a red aura. This move represents more damage, and therefore it helps the player to check any attack. The most useful technique to beat in Android 20 is to use the special attacks from a distance.

Metal Soldiers 2

This game is a sequel to a game of the same name where the player takes on the role of a mercenary. His mission is to go as far away from the rival soldiers as possible. The game is designed to get tougher as you progress. If you are new to the scene, you will be introduced to a tutorial that will take you through the different moves and strategies. Players generally start from the first level and move up the ladder as you successfully finish missions. Each level will feature a different challenge where you have to rise above it and kill your enemies to make it out safe. Once you do, the waiting helicopter will take you to your next adventure.

The Gameplay

As you play Metal Soldiers 2, you will have to keep an eye on the enemies as you cannot succumb to enemy fire. You will have to steer safe of shots from other soldiers, falling bombs, and tricks like closed doors that only open if you hit the right target. The player will also have to join a tank battle and finish the level before the time is out. The soundtrack and the fast-paced nature of the game make for an entertaining and enjoyable time.

Metal Soldiers 2 Android

The game could give you a nostalgic feel, especially if you have played early 90s Nintendo games. While the game showcases very basic aesthetics, it is highly responsive and excellently designed. It is your classic arcade game – one you just cannot put down. Once your mission begins, you have to be alert as the enemy fire will rain down on every side.

You don’t live a very charmed life so you cannot take a lot of hits. Aiming, shooting, and launching a grenade are simple enough tasks.

Once you get on, your final score will be calculated and displayed. The score relies heavily on the number of enemies you managed to kill.
