Revolutionary in-game features debuting in Indus:
Indus debuts two innovative gameplay features that set it apart from other battle royale games:
Cosmium Clutch: Cosmium Clutch is SuperGaming’s innovative feature that introduces a dual-win condition in battle royale matches. In addition to the traditional last-person-standing win, the Cosmium —an ultra-rare resource—spawns in the final circle; capturing Cosmium grants your squad an instant victory, but the challenge lies in surviving the chaos as every team scrambles to secure it while battling each other.
Grudge: The Grudge system adds a unique layer of revenge to gameplay. When a player is eliminated, they can declare a grudge against their opponent. In the next match, both players are placed in the same lobby, with the grudge opponent’s approximate location marked on the map. This mechanic gives players the chance to settle the score and seek vengeance in their next encounter.
Introducing Nuclear Diwali Battle Pass:
Alongside the game’s official release, the Nuclear Diwali Battle Pass is also unveiled, offering two pricing tiers. Players can purchase:
● Premium: 200 Indus Credits (IC)
● Premium Plus: 350 Indus Credits (IC), which grants players 30 levels instantly
By purchasing the battle pass, players can unlock exclusive rewards, including the Legendary Avatar Pokhran, an Epic melee weapon (chappal), and attractive skins for both weapons and vehicles.
