Part of its popularity comes from the fact you can play this game offline, however, Midijiwan is clearly looking to improve its online presence with this move.

Shooter fans can rejoice as Krafton’s New State Mobile receives a massive November update. Among the more notable features are a new gun, a training mode complete with rewards, and a fantastic approach to respawning.

The most impactful update is definitely the modification of the respawn mechanic. If you are eliminated within the second phase of the Blue Zone during battle royale matches, you will get a one-time respawn without your teammate having to collect a Green Flare Gun. This has been implemented in solo and teams, and you will respawn with the same equipment as if a teammate used the Flare Gun. This is an excellent addition, as I'm sure everyone has had those games where teammates focus more on killing and never on reviving.

After a few months of making the commendable decision to stay purely unranked to ensure its gameplay was fair and all players balanced, T3 Arena has introduced a brand new Ranked Mode. Hopefully, this long wait for a ranked mode will pay off with an enjoyably unbroken experience.

There will be three of the big modes available in Ranked; Control, Payload Escort and Clash. This gives quite a nice spread of objectives to pick from, and the choice of their Clash mode over Team Deathmatch is pretty smart and will encourage a more tactical approach to ranked over the hell for leather charge and shoot that deathmatch brings.
