Battlegrounds Mobile India is being criticized for having a large number of hackers and even big streamers and professional players like Sc0ut and Mortal have begun to take notice. Mortal recently tweeted about the hacking problem in BGMI and Sc0ut uploaded some snippets of him being killed instantly by different hackers in multiple matches.
The problem of hacking is persistent in almost every gaming title but the anti-cheat mechanism deployed by developers makes a huge impact on the actual number. Some games are evidently faceless hackers due to stricter anti-cheat checking but Battlegrounds Mobile India is apparently lacking in this aspect.
PUBG Mobile makers, Krafton, developed a different mobile battle royale title for the Indian region to abide by the local laws but it is facing a similar problem of hacking like PUBG Mobile.
PUBG Mobile was infamous for having a large number of hackers but after multiple anti-cheat updates and by the implementation of new techniques, the number was significantly reduced. This has not been the case with Battlegrounds Mobile India even though the game is exactly similar to PUBG Mobile.
BGMI pro and content creator, Mortal, recently expressed his disappointment on Twitter by tweeting the following:
BGMI classic matches are turning into home of cheaters. Ruining the fun every 2 out of 5 games making it impossible to stream freely and create content around the game. #BGMICheaters#BGMI
This tweet has evidently caught the attention of many players facing similar issues. Another big content creator, Sc0ut spoke about this matter by uploading some clips on his Instagram stories. They depicted that Sc0ut was killed twice in some absurd ways.
One of the clips highlighted a hacker using M249 to knock Sc0ut in a long-distance spray and the other video showcased yet another hacker using Kar98 twice within a fraction of a second and then increasing the movement speed with a speed hack.
Battlegrounds Mobile India is still a new game but due to the number of hackers present in this game, it is quite frustrating for the fan base to enjoy the game in classic mode. The developers are expected to take some action to solve this issue.

The Pokemon Company and TiMi Studios have launched their first MOBA game called Pokemon United for the smartphone platform. Players can now download Pokemon Unite on the phone of their choice and enjoy Pokemon battles in a unique way.
This game was under development for a long time and its closed beta testing was running in China. The developers were seemingly making steady progress according to multiple leaks earlier this year and finally, it is fully launched on the mobile platform.
Pokemon Unite was initially launched on Nintendo Switch in July and became popular in a short time. The Nintendo Switch version recently completed over nine million downloads and a similar trend might be seen on its mobile version.

Ray Tracing is an advanced way to render realistic lighting, shadows, and reflections by simulating light rays and the way it refracts. This technology was first introduced to the consumers with the launch of NVIDIA’s RTX 20 series GPU lineup. While the first-generation RTX cards were capable enough, NVIDIA’s 30 Series cards really amped up the experience, introducing faster ray tracing cards to the mid-range market.
While only a handful of ray tracing supported games were available during the 20 series’ launch, the list soon grew over time. And it is clear that ray tracing is here to stay for a while thanks to the launch of AMD’s RDNA 2 GPUs, also found in the next-gen consoles (PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X) both of which support ray tracing.
Here are some popular upcoming titles that support Ray Tracing and DLSS.
Far Cry 6 – PC
Ubisoft revealed that ray tracing is a PC exclusive feature, along with AMD’s FSR upscaling technology. While both PC and next-gen consoles will have an almost equal level of visual fidelity, PC users will have the option to enable hybrid raytraced reflections and raytraced shadows. “Ray tracing is a PC-only feature.” Stephanie Brenham, Ubisoft’s Lead Programmer, stated in an interview with wccftech. “On console, our objective has been to take advantage of new hardware capabilities, optimizing performance targeting 4K and achieving 60 FPS, for instance, all while ensuring new game features, like our dynamic weather system, are supported on all platforms.”
The upcoming remaster of Remedy’s popular horror-thriller game, Alan Wake will feature several improvements such as updated models, textures, lighting, HDR, and support for 4K resolution. It was rumored that Alan Wake Remastered will feature raytracing, however, it wasn’t the case as confirmed by developer Remedy who stated that implementing raytracing “would have taken resources away from other critical areas,” but they “are confident the game looks great even without ray tracing / HDR support.”
However, the game does support NVIDIA’s DLSS technology with 4 settings – Ultra-Performance, Performance, Balanced, Quality. DLSS can be a great option for gamers running the game at demanding resolutions such as 1440p and 4K on mid-range RTX graphics cards.
Alan Wake Remaster releases on October 5th, 2021
Battlefield 2042
The long-awaited shooter from DICE will not feature raytracing unlike its predecessor, Battlefield V, which was the first game ever to use ray tracing. Battlefield 2042 will instead take advantage of DLSS and NVIDIA Reflex technologies, which makes sense given how the game is strictly a multiplayer-only title and players would generally prefer better framerates and frame times due to BF2402’s competitive nature.
Players using NVIDIA’s 20 series and 30 series GPU can enable these features when Battlefield 2042 launches on November 19.
Guardians of the Galaxy
Eidos Montreal has been working with NVIDIA to bring RTX in the form of raytraced reflections and DLSS upscaling in the PC version of the game. Olivier Proulx, Senior Producer, Eidos-Montréal stated that “Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy combines original storytelling and electrifying single-player gameplay with an edgy aesthetics. With the addition of ray tracing and NVIDIA DLSS, PC players will enjoy this stunning universe’s visuals with even higher performances”
Experience Star-Lord’s journey when Guardians of the Galaxy launches on October 26.
Forza Horizon 5
Playground Games’ Forza Horizon 5 already looks visually impressive but will set the bar even higher with multiple raytracing features. The game’s Forza Vista mode will feature raytracing reflections to make cars look more realistic, but this feature won’t be available in the open world section of the game. However, Forza Horizon 5 has another trick up its sleeve and will utilize raytraced audio, and is probably the first video game to do so.
“Actually we’re sending out ray traces to detect walls, buildings, and ceilings.” Fraser Strachan, Forza Horizon 5’s lead director explains, “which means that you’ll hear your car bouncing off all the buildings around you and that will change with the environment.”
Activision, the publishers of Call of Duty: Mobile announced the launch of a new battle royale map in Call of Duty: Mobile. The new map is named “Blackout” was First introduced in Black Ops 4. Blackout features iconic series locations across a vast landscape that will be fully replicated for mobile, including all later map additions like Hijacked and Ghost Town.
The new map is schduled to be released on Call of Duty: Mobile on September 22 at 5PM PT. Read our complete article to know the major places and location in the map.
Blackout Map Intel
Blackout is filled with references to iconic locations throughout the Black Ops universe, from Nuketown Island to Firing Range and even Verrückt in the form of Asylum. Some areas are nearly identical to their Multiplayer incarnations, while others are only loosely based on their known environments.
Raid (Estates)
Raid is one of the two mansions that define Estates, the northernmost named location on the Blackout map. First seen in Call of Duty®: Black Ops II, this large complex sees battle break out among the iconic sculpture, pool, and basketball court.
Array
First featured in the original Black Ops Multiplayer, Array comes straight out of the frozen tundra to the sunny skies of Blackout. Array’s main feature is its central building, a hot spot for close-quarter action in an otherwise spacious area. Unlike its snowy cousin, Array in Blackout has a few more buildings to explore around the circular relay station, which could be filled with some valuable loot.
Firing Range
Besides the familiar central layout — including that pesky lookout tower — Firing Range also features several surrounding buildings and obstacle courses with tons of loot. Be warned: positioned in the center of the map, Firing Range is sure to become a hot spot in many matches.
Nuketown Island
The crown jewel of the Black Ops series, Nuketown gets its own island off the western shore of Blackout’s mainland. Not only does Nuketown Island extend the nuclear testing grounds’ fake neighborhood up on the surface, but it also features an underground network of rooms and tunnels that can be accessed from several locations…including the bunker behind the blue house.
Ghost Town
Ghost Town is based on the Outlaw Multiplayer map from Black Ops 3, featuring plenty of two-story buildings scattered around the area, great for snipers and other sharpshooters looking for the high ground advantage when the dueling starts.
Cargo Docks
Southeast of Nuketown Island are the Cargo Docks, inspired by the Black Ops II Multiplayer map Cargo. This area has plenty of open space between containers, encouraging long-range gunfights and tactical use of cover. The main cargo rig may have short-circuited and no longer moves containers around, but there is still loot lying in and around the stagnant containers.
Recently, Krafton, the South Korean video game developer of the world-famous Battlegrounds Mobile India announced the launch of the new update into the game. The new update has brought some major changes in the UI of the game along with the introduction of a new mode in three maps. The version 1.6 update will be rolling out on the Google Play Store and iOS App Store with the introduction of Flora Menace, as special features.
A new mode “Flora Menace” has been added to BATTLEGROUNDS, bringing in interesting possibilities. In Flora Menace Mode, a life barrier is created in some part of the map that is encroached by alien creatures. In the wall, players’ HP gradually recovers. Players can loot “Nacore” in the mode and use the item to buy battle items. The mode is available in Classic Theme Modes and starting from Erangel, it will be added to Sanhok and Livik.
Players can enjoy Cell-Matrix content exclusively in Erangel “Flora Menace,”. The Cell Matrix is an airship floating in the air and players can ride it using Cells that can be found on the map. In Cell-Matrix, players have three chances to revive themselves and get to fight with randomly provided weapons. They can acquire Nacore by eliminating enemies or robots infected by an alien creature in the airship.
The new update also includes the recording option, allowing players to record their gameplay and showcase their clips on social media platforms. Besides this, The latest update will pack a lot of surprises later in the month as EvoGround will feature the popular Zombie mode “Survive Till Dawn” where the last surviving player in the zombie attack gets the final victory.
With the 1.6.0 update, the developer aims at providing an overall improved battle-feel to the players with features like Improved camera vibration effect on grenade detonation, configurable headshot sound adjustments, dynamic scope adjustment options.
