"Dear Battlegrounds Mobile India fans, the long-awaited July Update is finally here, and we can’t wait to share all the cool stuff we have planned in store for you!   And, yes, we remember your excitement and immense love shared on 2.0 Update and we're sure you'll find the world of Ancient Secret: Arise coming your way to be exciting and a great way to have fun with your squad!," the gaming company wrote in a blog post. 

The new update has brought K-pop sensation Blackpink into the virtual world with “The Virtual”, BGMI’s first-ever in-game concert. Also, Blackpink will also debut a Special Track and music video in BGMI later this month. Version Update 2.1 will also add a new themed game mode, Ancient Secret: Arise, add new content through Cycle 3 Season 7 and Royale Pass Month 13, and much more.

The Ancient Secret Mode is coming to BGMI. You can meet the great being from the starting island. You can play the Ancient Secret: Arise by clicking the arrow button at the bottom right in Erangel, Miramar and Livik map under 'ranking' tab.

 The new weapon, Lynx AMR, is added to the supply crate. Lynx AMR is a powerful SR that has faster shooting speed than existing SRs. With its great bullet speed and powerful damage a level 3 helmet can be destroyed at a single shot. However, you need to be mindful of the ammo, since Lynx AMR uses exclusive ammo just like AWM.

There are major updates on weapon balance.. The diminishing speed of the damage is reduced for UZI and Vector. You can now deal greater damages to enemies in long-distance. For UMP45, the burst area is reduced while ADSing and the laser sight effect is slightly reduced. The basic damage dealt by Tommy Gun and its bullet speed will be slightly increased. Finally, PP-19 Bizon's shooting speed is slight increased. 

Next is AR balance adjustment. For AKM, stronger assisted aim effect is applied, making it easier to hit the target in short-distance. For SCAR-L, the gun recoil is reduced in burst mode, and bullet speed and long-distance damage are increased.
