What is PUBG Mobile Barkle and is it Better Than PoWnin?

In the 4.2 update of PUBG Mobile, several new features are coming to the game. From new horse skin to some map enhancements, there is a lot to check out for the players before they step into the unforgiving maps of Erangel, Livik, and others.

In this plethora of features, the one that needs your attention more than the others is known as Barkle. So, what is PUBG Mobile Barkle? In this post, we will discuss everything you need to know about it.

What is PUBG Mobile Barkle?

In its simplest explanation, Barkle is the new AI companion for the players in PUBG Mobile. It will be released with the 4.2 update of both versions of the game. For players wondering what PUBG Mobile Barkle is and how it works, the answer is: it works similarly to how the current companion PoWnin works in the game. However, Barkle is even more advanced than PoWnin.

Barkle is a unique in-game friend with whom you can have unique interactions based on your command of the AI companion. While in the first beta updates, the next companion was believed to be Groot, in the recent updates, we learned that it actually is Barkle. From healing you to protecting you, Barkle in PUBG Mobile does a lot of things for the player once it is hired.

Where Can You Find Barkle in PUBG Mobile?

Unlike PoWnin, who is available in only one spot on the map after having the potential to arrive in any of the two random potential places in the game's map, PUBG Mobile Barkle is available in more than one spot. As of now, the jury is still out on the potential places to find PUBG Mobile Barkle. However, as per the new beta update, we know which places the AI Companion has the potential to arrive.

• The first place is right above the Gatka. There, you will see an unusual green icon, which is the location to hire Barkle.
• Another place where you can find Barkle in PUBG Mobile is on the eastern side of the Ferry Pier. Similar to Gatka, here you will see an unusual green icon, which is the place to find and hire Barkle.

Barkle is one of the most anticipated PUBG Mobile 4.2 expected features.

How to Get Barkle in PUBG Mobile to Shield You?

Unlike PoWnin, Barkle can shield you from enemy attacks in a better way. There are a total of six commands that you can give to PUBG Mobile Barkle. One of them is to defend. When you give the command, PUBG Mobile Barkle is always running with you and ahead of you. Whenever you are in a fight with an opponent, the Barkle in PUBG Mobile goes in front of you and spreads its legs and arms, acting like a living shield for you.

Please note that the more damage your Barkle takes, the more pale the leaves on him become. Make sure to allow him to auto-heal if you wish to have him as your companion till the end of the game.

How Get Your Barkle in PUBG Mobile to Attack Opponents?

Similar to defending and shielding you, Barkle in PUBG Mobile can also attack your foe with you. All you have to do is open the command circle in the game and choose the attacking option. Once you give your Barkle the command, it will walk ahead of you, and whenever you take on fights, it will go and attack your foe with you.

Can You Get 2 Barkles in PUBG Mobile?

One of the limitations of PoWnin was that you could only hire one companion in a game, and that goes for all the players participating in the match. After you eliminate the PoWnin holder, the companion is not assigned to you. Naturally, players did not have a chance to hire a companion once someone successfully managed one.

With Barkle in PUBG Mobile, things are different. Every map gets a total of two Barkles. Therefore, if someone hires one from a location, you can hire the other from a different location. Moreover, if you wish to hire two Barkles for yourself, you can do that as well.

For players who are looking to match the drip of Barkle, the new Winterglow Sylph set would be the perfect option. Here's how to get the Winterglow Sylph Set in PUBG Mobile.
