BGMI 1.8.0 update

With the new update, the season tier points will only be reflected in ranked matchmaking. However, season tier points will not affect normal matchmaking. Krafton has also made changes in the UI to help its users to pick a desired match easily.

The new Livik: Aftermath mode can only be played with normal matching, which will not hurt the players' season tier points. In the mode, players can knock enemies with automatic fire in the Firearm and Scope mode. New supply stores have also been added to the map in classic mode, where players can exchange looted coins with supply items. Also with the update, the map will feature an indicator to show an upcoming supply crate location. Revive objects will also display across the map.
