BGMI 3.7 Update Patch Notes: Erangel Mech Suits, AWM Buff & 120 FPS Wider Device Rollout
Krafton has officially rolled out the BGMI 3.7 thematic update across Google Play Store and Apple App Store. Here is every weapon balance change and new vehicle feature.
The long-awaited BGMI Version 3.7 update has landed across Android and iOS devices in India. Featuring futuristic biomechanical elements, a comprehensive weapon re-balance for competitive rooms, and unlocked 120 FPS support for older Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 devices, here is the full patch breakdown.
1. New Thematic Mode: Biomechanical Mech Suits
In Ranked Erangel and Livik matches, players can drop into designated high-tier Mech Assembly Plants located at Georgopol and Yasnaya Polyana. These stations spawn pilotable mech suits equipped with hover thrusters, dual heavy plasma cannons, and a deployable kinetic barrier.
- Fuel Consumption: Mechs consume conventional fuel cans or recharge at charging pylons scattered across major compounds.
- Destruction Mechanic: Depleting the Mech HP initiates a 3-second self-destruct countdown, ejecting the pilot 30 meters into the air with an emergency glider.
2. Weapon Balancing: AWM Velocity & Shotgun Nerfs
| Weapon | Patch 3.7 Adjustment | Competitive Impact |
|---|---|---|
| AWM Sniper Rifle | Muzzle velocity increased from 910 m/s to 960 m/s; bullet drop reduced by 14% | Long-range moving vehicle snipes are significantly easier |
| DBS Shotgun | Pellet spread increased by 18%; damage falloff starts at 7m instead of 10m | Reduces one-shot knock consistency in apartment hot drops |
| ACE32 Assault Rifle | Horizontal recoil reduced by 12%; reload speed buffed by 0.2s | Viable alternative to M416 and Beryl M762 in close-mid range sprays |
3. 120 FPS Unlocked on More Handsets
Krafton confirmed that 120 FPS (Extreme+ profile) is now natively enabled for OnePlus 11, iQOO 11, Xiaomi 13 Pro, and select Dimensity 9300 devices, eliminating the need for third-party config tweaks.
