Here are the complete patch notes for PUBG Mobile’s Patch 1.6. 

New mode: Flora Menace

• The new mode features the entrance of alien planets called Yarilo. They have invaded Erangel and have absorbed its “special energy” to take over the major core urban areas.
• As a result, the Rejuvenation Barrier has been created. This has special healing power.  

• The mode adds an aerial aspect to the game as the Cell Matrix, which is a giant spaceship flies over the map.

• You can enter the flying Cell Matrix to “conduct investigations and reclaim the energy.” It will have random weapon drops and spawns, making it a hot drop location. You can also call DynaHex Supplies to aid you in the intense fighting.
