Here’s a complete breakdown of everything new in PUBG Mobile 3.9.
Transformers Take Over: Enter the Classic Themed Mode
The Transformers Themed Mode lets players channel the might of Optimus Prime or Megatron. These legendary characters can transform into powerful vehicles that carry your whole squad — and unleash devastating ultimate attacks in robot form.
- Optimus Prime wields an Energon Axe, capable of powerful combo strikes and a crushing dash attack.
- Megatron turns into a tank and fires charged fusion blasts. His upgraded skill lets him unleash a stronger, longer-charged version of this blast that also pushes him backward for tactical repositioning.
When both titans meet, a special Arch-rival Showdown kicks off — only one can survive the clash.
Spacebridge Beacon: Summon Transformers Mid-Game
The Spacebridge Beacon is a game-changing item that spawns randomly. Once Cybertron connects mid-match, this beacon can be used to summon Optimus Prime, Megatron, or Cybertronian Supply Crates packed with loot.
Complete the Transformers Trial with Tokens
The popular Trial Match system returns! Use Transformer Tokens in classic matches to trigger legendary trial challenges and unlock exclusive rewards, topped off with a flashy results screen.
Neon Outpost: The Ultimate Cyberpunk Drop Zone
The new Neon Outpost is a high-stakes battleground lit with vibrant neon. It includes:
- A Boxing Ring that opens after a countdown.
- A Black Market with futuristic shops (yes, even a burger joint serving energy-boosting Interstellar Burgers).
- An Energy Hub where you can ride robots into battle.
- The Astro Den, a melee-only arena with special respawn mechanics and massive rewards for the last team standing.

Classic Mode Gets a Refresh
Alongside the Transformers content, PUBG Mobile 3.9 also brings multiple classic mode improvements:
- New Weapon: ASM Abakan – A burst-capable AR using 5.56mm ammo, with a highly accurate two-shot opening burst.
- DSR Sniper Rifle now appears more frequently in airdrops.
- Motorcycle & Bicycle Drifting – With the added ability to shoot while drifting.
Ranked Arena Mode Returns
Back by popular demand, Ranked Arena Mode is live from July 24 to September 21. It features:
- Tier-based progression
- Custom mode selections
- Season-limited rewards
Additional changes include new weapons in Gun Game, a FPP/TPP toggle for Arena, and improvements to TDM, Domination, and Arena Training — including no more dropped loot on knockdowns.
Final Thoughts
With the arrival of Transformers, the stylish Neon Outpost, and major gameplay enhancements, PUBG Mobile 3.9 is shaping up to be one of the most action-packed updates ever. Whether you’re here for Optimus Prime, new weapons, or a shot at Ranked Arena glory, this update delivers something for everyone.
This isn’t just an update — it’s a whole new battlefield.
