All New Features in BGMI 4.0 Update
Spooky Soiree Themed Mode
Big Surprise of the BGMI 4.0 update is the Spooky Soiree mode. You’ll drop into the haunted Wraithmoor Mansion, slapped right into the middle of Erangel and Miramar. This isn’t just a new coat of paint. The mansion is packed with interactive horrors ghosts that phase through walls and environmental traps that will force you to change your strategy on the fly.
Complete the themed missions, and you’re grinding for exclusive Ghoul Hunter skins and raw UC. This is how you build your loadout without opening your wallet.
Ghostie Abilities and Prankster Ghost Skills
Players gain a spectral companion, Ghostie, equipped with abilities like invisibility toggles and prankster skills for disrupting opponents. Now you can deploy decoys or drop temporary buffs to mess with your opponents’ heads. It’s pure psychological warfare.
Use Ghostie’s prankster skills to set up creative ambushes. A well-timed decoy is the perfect distraction for your squad to rush in and clean up.
New Mortar Weapon
New Mortar is a game-changer. It lets you rain explosives from a distance with two firing modes: Quick Strike for close threats and Precise Target for enemies you can’t even see. Additional mechanics include strength potions for temporary health boosts and floating balloons for enhanced mobility.
Asymmetric PvP Mode
In a new Asymmetric PvP mode, Hunters and Survivors compete in objective-based matches. Hunters have special powers to catch, but Survivors fix terminals via mini-games.

Furthermore, adjustments to weapons and better anti-cheat measures seek fair matches.
