BGMI 3.8 Update Released: Giant Potion, Loot Trains & Attack on Titan Theme | Download Now

Krafton has officially started rolling out the highly anticipated BGMI 3.8 update across India. This version introduces the Steampunk Frontier Theme Mode, heavily inspired by the popular anime Attack on Titan, along with several exciting gameplay enhancements that are set to transform the Battlegrounds Mobile India experience.

⚠️ Note: The update is being released in a phased rollout for both Android and iOS users. Some players may receive the update before others.

What’s New in BGMI 3.8?

🎮 Steampunk Frontier Theme Mode

The centerpiece of the update is the Steampunk Frontier Mode, featuring anime-style visuals and two hot-drop zones near the Shooting Range and Mylta on the Erangel map. These high-loot areas are expected to draw heavy player traffic and close-quarters combat.

🧪 Giant Potion

One of the standout features is the Giant Potion, which temporarily turns a player into a massive giant. Teammates can even ride on the giant’s shoulders, adding a fun twist to combat and strategy. However, the effect is time-limited, making timing and teamwork essential.

🧰 Mechanical Hook

Mobility gets a major boost with the Mechanical Hook, a tool similar to Spider-Man’s web-slinging gear. It allows players to swing across buildings and traverse difficult terrain swiftly—ideal for both escapes and sneak attacks.

🚂 Loot Trains

A brand-new gameplay dynamic, Loot Trains, now traverse the map carrying high-value weapons and gear. Players who successfully board and loot these moving trains can gain a major advantage, making them a strategic objective during matches.

How to Install BGMI 3.8 Update
