Shadow Forces mode.

The new mode has :

Shadow Blade :

Can be found in the new themed buildings. This powerful sword can inflict damage to enemies little beyond it’s physical reach with an aura like effect. It is capable of killing multiple enemies with one swing. This addition could change the way melee weapons are used. Before melee weapons were only good for trolling in Bgmi and Pubg. Now this blade can be used effectively in a close combat situation. Also capable of blocking enemy gun shots.

Proxy Scout :

You can make your own clone with this. Find a secure location for your character and throw the shadow scout throwable where you want your clone to appear. Now you can’t shoot your enemy but can scout exactly where the enemy team is camping. The skytether hook can also be used while being a proxy scout. So that you can scout faster.

The enemies can destroy your clone making you go back to your original body without dealing any damage. If the clone is destroyed near the enemy or manually detonated, this can inflict damage on the opponent.

Skytether Hook:

similar to the spiderman mode in previous update. You can latch on to buildings and land at targeted spots. Using this ability immediately again will invoke a gliding ability which surprisingly can travel a long distances than what you expect.
