These changes aim to make gameplay feel more natural, with better tools for practicing movement and coordinating with teammates during fights.
Think easier practice sessions with friends to nail coordination in live games—PUBG Mobile 4.2 is fine-tuning the essentials. We'll break down every classic mode change, the release timeline, and other must-knows.
PUBG Mobile Version 4.2 Classic Mode Changes
PUBG Mobile shared the details on their official X account:
Cooperative Climbing
A key update in PUBG Mobile Version 4.2 Classic mode is Cooperative Climbing. Climbing many walls and ledges alone used to be tough, throwing off fights or escapes. Now teammates can help each other up.
One player climbs first and pulls the next teammate along. This simplifies getting onto rooftops, balconies, and high ground.
Training Grounds Get Team-Up Features
The Training Grounds is getting a big quality-of-life boost. Players can now team up straight in the training area—no more solo grinding. Team-Up and Invite options let friends practice together before real matches. It speeds up control learning for beginners and lets pros test strategies without risk.
Smoother Prone Movement and Better Control
Prone movement gets refined in Version 4.2. Players can rotate more fluidly while prone, making it simpler to scan areas and react to enemies.
Before, it often felt stiff or sluggish. The update adds smooth 360-degree turns. Great for stealth players who focus on positioning.
Multiple Grenade Usage
Grenade throwing improves too. Players can now queue multiple grenades with a single hold, instead of tapping over and over.
Perfect for clearing rooms, defending spots, or pushing enemies from cover. It saves time and avoids errors in clutch moments.
Primewood Genesis: New Themed Mode and Release Date
Besides the PUBG Mobile 4.2 classic updates, a new themed mode called Primewood Genesis arrives. A huge Sacred Tree overtakes parts of the map. Spots like Erangel transform with massive roots, vines, and overgrown buildings. Some areas stay locked—players must clear them to access rewards.
New vehicles like the Guardian Deer let players zip around faster, while plant-based bosses protect prime loot zones. The current themed mode wraps up on January 5, 2026. PUBG Mobile Version 4.2 should go global around January 6 or 7, 2026, depending on your region.
