Some of the improvements that developer SuperGaming made to Indus Battle Royale over the year include:
- To change the way players approach combat, shields now introduce snap (75 per cent max cap, refills 25 per cent) and burst (100 per cent max cap, refills fully) mechanics. Tactical depth has now been improved as players can now plan aggressive plays, strategically retreat, and adapt their combat style based on shield levels.
- As part of the new movement system, Toofan 2.0 players can now heal, toss grenades, or deploy smoke bombs while on the move, transforming vehicles into strategic assets. The system also introduces a risk-reward mechanic with vehicle health indicators and explosion potential, adding depth to tactical decisions.
- Enhancements to the game’s visuals include new visuals effects for capturing cosmium, new skybox and improved environment for the map of Trilok and other enhanced textures, lighting and UI elements have also been improved.
