BGMI recently launched a new update for its gamers which introduced a host of new features. The 1.8.0 January update introduces new ranked and unranked match segregation, a new Livik Aftermath map, changes to weapons and much more. The new update also introduced a new metric to discourage cheaters.

NEW ANTI-CHEATING MEASURES

After the update, there is a penalty on 'merit' score of a player. The points are reduced for malicious behaviours such as team finish or offensive chat. Deducted merit level can be restored based on the gameplay time and contribution during the game, and rewards will be provided to players maintaining a high merit level. Additionally, the receipt and result of reporting cheaters have been improved to deliver more details to the players. 

NEW RANKING SEGREGATION

After the January Update, ranked matching and normal matching are separated. If you drop into ranked matchmaking, the season tier point is reflected as before, and if you play in normal matchmaking, season tier point is not affected. 

LIVIK: AFTERMATH MAP

In the new Livik: Aftermath map, a volcanic eruption has resulted in the melting of all the snow. Players will now experience dust bowls, hostile terrain and the similar settings. In the post-apocalyptic setting, even the buildings have collapsed. Livik Aftermath can be played only in the normal matching. However, that does not affect your season tier points.
