How To Play As Optimus Prime In BGMI 3.9 Update
Step-by-Step: Summon and Control Optimus Prime in BGMI
KRAFTON’s latest BGMI 3.9 update introduces an exciting crossover with Transformers, and at the center of it is the chance to play as Optimus Prime. This guide walks you through exactly how to activate and use the Autobot leader in-game.
Start by dropping into a match and locating the Spacebridge Beacon, a special item found in select drop zones. When activated, this beacon summons Optimus Prime in his iconic truck form, which then transforms into his towering robot state.
Once deployed, Optimus Prime comes equipped with two exclusive abilities:
- Thermal Axe – a powerful melee weapon for close combat.
- Charge Slam – a devastating area-of-effect move to eliminate nearby enemies.
To power him up further, search the map for Energon Cubes. These can be collected during gameplay to enhance Optimus’s stats and unlock his ultimate move, making him an even more formidable force on the battlefield.
An added feature is the Nemesis Showdown mode: if both Optimus Prime and Megatron are summoned during the same match, they can engage in an epic, cinematic battle, offering a unique twist to traditional gameplay.
Unlock Rewards and Make the Most of the Event
Alongside Optimus Prime’s debut, BGMI will launch the Transformers Prize Path Event on July 18. By completing missions and leveling up in the event, players can unlock:
- Optimus Prime character skins
- Transformers-themed weapon skins
- Exclusive cosmetics and items
The BGMI 3.9 update is live now on Android and iOS, giving players immediate access to the Transformers mode. With its immersive visuals, crossover mechanics, and rewarding progression system, playing as Optimus Prime offers a fresh, action-packed experience in the world of BGMI.
Whether you’re charging into battle or taking down Megatron, this update adds a layer of cinematic excitement to every drop. So gear up, grab a Spacebridge Beacon, and roll out as the legendary leader of the Autobots.
