Spooky Soiree Themed Mode

The highlight of the BGMI 4.0 update is the Spooky Soiree Themed Mode, which brings eerie environments, new gameplay mechanics, and ghostly surprises.

Wraithmoor Mansion

This new location is a large haunted mansion filled with supernatural decorations, secret areas, and treasures. Inside, players will find a magic mirror that can reveal valuable loot but also unleash ghosts and change the in-game weather. Ghosts also hide in random objects—attack them to get supplies, but be careful, as scaring them away will make you lose the rewards.

The Performing Dead

During matches, a concert event featuring the ghost band “The Performing Dead” will take place. Players can watch the performance and earn supply rewards at the end. By interacting with the band and correcting their music, players can unlock even better rewards. The ghost band may also alert players about nearby enemies.

Ghostie – Your New Companion

Another major addition is Ghostie, a ghostly companion that follows the player and can use unique skills. Ghostie is normally only visible to its owner but becomes visible when using abilities.

Ghostie can equip 1 main skill and 2 passive skills at a time, with upgrade options available.

• Main Skills:
  • Floating Balloon: Transforms into a balloon to lift and fly.
  • Guardian Shield: Becomes a large shield for protection or knocking back enemies.
• Passive Skills include:
  • Armorer (repairs armor),
  • Ghost Helm (protects against headshots),
  • Scan (detects enemies),
  • Boost (increases sprint speed),
  • Heal (restores health or rescues teammates).

Magic Broom – Fly Like a Witch

Players can now summon a Magic Broom, which can carry two players and fly freely. It comes with dash for fast movement and sweep for knocking away enemies.

Strength Potion – Power Boost

The update also introduces the Strength Potion, a consumable item that gives players superhuman abilities for 50 seconds. While active, players move faster, jump higher, and take less damage—but cannot use firearms. Instead, they can slam the ground after jumping to cause massive area damage.

With all these spooky and exciting new features, the BGMI 4.0 update promises to bring fresh and thrilling gameplay experiences for players across India.
