BGMI 4.5 Season launches three Druvaen X-Suits with a first-ever gameplay-based upgrade path, live August 1 to September 30

KRAFTON India has launched the X-Suit Collection for BGMI’s 4.5 Season. This collection features three 7-Star X-Suits from the Druvaen bloodline: Verdant Druvaen, Pyre Druvaen, and Frost Druvaen. The collection will be available from August 1 to September 30, 2026. It introduces a new element to BGMI’s cosmetic system, offering an upgrade path that players unlock through gameplay instead of purchases.

Three suits, one bloodline

The Verdant, Pyre, and Frost Druvaen X-Suits each have their own elemental identity while sharing a common design lineage. All three are 7-Star X-Suits available through a new selection crate. This gives players the option to choose which Druvaen variant to pursue.

The gameplay-based upgrade path

The bigger news is the new upgrade mechanic. For the first time in BGMI, there is a new upgrade material that players cannot purchase, trade, or farm through any current in-game system. Players earn it exclusively through time spent in matches. This means progression in this area is linked directly to how much a player plays rather than how much they spend.

Here’s how it works. Players who unlock a single X-Suit are automatically placed on the new upgrade path for that suit. If players unlock two or all three, they must choose one suited for the gameplay-based path. This is a permanent decision that KRAFTON presents as a meaningful choice for players. The remaining suits can still upgrade through BGMI’s current X-Suit upgrade system, ensuring that no unlocked suit lacks a progression path.

The Naturespirit Growth ACE32

In addition to the X-Suit Collection, KRAFTON is releasing the Naturespirit Growth ACE32 Level 7 weapon skin, featuring the Druvaen visual style in-game. This skin is available during the same August 1 to September 30 timeframe, allowing players to continue the full Druvaen look from character to weapon.
