Battlegrounds Mobile India, also known as BGMI, is making waves with its latest 2.8 update. This update aligns with the festive spirit of Halloween and introduces a range of new features, items, and outfits. The new elements aim to enhance player engagement and offer an immersive gaming experience. The article will provide in-depth insights into the update, focusing on how to acquire the enticing Wicked Night Crate and the Gothic Gentleman outfit.

Halloween Theme and Wicked Night Crate

Coinciding with the Halloween season, the 2.8 update has added a fascinating “zombie edge” theme to the game. In line with this theme, BGMI has unveiled the Wicked Night Crate. This crate is not just an ordinary addition; it holds the key to acquiring the much-talked-about Gothic Gentleman outfit and various other exclusive items.

Details on the Gothic Gentleman Outfit

BGMI has taken to its official Instagram to reveal the Gothic Gentleman outfit. To acquire this specific set, players need to focus on the Wicked Night Crate, which is now accessible in the game. This crate presents a range of other items too, such as the Fright Night outfit, Hellfire-AKM, Fright Night hood, and the Gothic Gentleman hat, providing users with the opportunity to align their in-game characters with the current Halloween theme.

How to Acquire the Wicked Night Crate and its Contents

To get your hands on this exclusive crate, you’ll need to use BGMI’s in-game currency, known as UC. The crate is listed in the “Crates” section of the menu. Once you navigate there, simply choose the Wicked Night Crate and click on “Open.” It is worth noting that opening the crate for the first time will require 30 UC, while subsequent openings will cost you 60 UC. For those looking to go big, there’s an option to unlock the premium crate ten times for 540 UC. However, acquiring the new sets is based on luck.

Limited-Time Availability

The availability of the Wicked Night Crate is not indefinite. It is essential to act quickly to secure these items, as they will not be around forever. So, make sure to take advantage of this limited-time offer to enrich your BGMI experience.

Krafton’s New Initiative: KIGI

Beyond the 2.8 update, BGMI’s developer, Krafton, is taking steps to foster the gaming ecosystem in India. They have launched a new initiative called the KRAFTON India Gaming Incubator (KIGI). The programme will last from six months to a year and aims to support 6-10 teams annually. Krafton will provide these teams with mentoring and access to internal resources such as data analytics and market research. Upon completing the program, participants have the choice of either self-publishing their games or seeking venture capital funding.

Final Thoughts

The latest 2.8 update for BGMI brings forth an array of features that promise to keep players engaged. From the introduction of the Halloween theme to the unveiling of the Gothic Gentleman outfit, there is much to explore and enjoy. Coupled with Krafton’s new initiative, the KIGI, the future looks promising for the Indian gaming community.
