DRAGONWith every new PUBG Mobile update, the game becomes increasingly immersive, bringing new gameplay mechanics, visuals, and performance enhancements. However, for some competitive players, visual clarity often takes precedence over aesthetics. This is especially true when it comes to in-game grass, which can obscure vision, hide prone enemies, and create disadvantages during crucial combat situations. The newly released first file to remove grass from all maps in PUBG Mobile – all versions – update 3.9 has stirred attention across the community for its practicality and functionality. This article discusses this file and its practical use across all available maps in PUBG Mobile, including how it works with different versions of the game after the 3.9 update. We will also walk through four key steps involved in applying the file correctly, ensuring players understand the full process without risking any unnecessary complications. If you already have access to this specific file, this guide will help you implement it with ease and clarity. Whether you play Erangel, Miramar, Sanhok, Livik, or other custom maps, this method is crafted to work across all of them seamlessly. Let’s get started.
Preparing Your Game and File Environment
Before using the file to remove the grass from all PUBG Mobile maps, it’s crucial to prepare the game and file environment to ensure a smooth and error-free application process.
Start by ensuring that your PUBG Mobile game is fully updated to version 3.9. This is important because previous versions of the file may not be compatible with the latest game version. A mismatch in versions could result in graphic glitches or even cause the game to crash or fail to load properly. Make sure to update your game directly through your app store or via the official game client.
Once the game is updated, locate the file you’ve already downloaded. This file has been specially designed to target all maps across all versions. No need for different versions for Global, Korean, or other regional APKs – it works universally. Before proceeding, it is highly recommended to backup the original game files. You can do this by accessing the internal storage location of PUBG Mobile and copying the required folders (such as the ShadowTrackerExtra or Saved folders) to a safe backup directory on your device.
Lastly, clear unnecessary background apps to maximize device performance before starting the installation steps. Performance issues or RAM overload during file replacement can cause partial copying or system instability.
Locating the Correct Game Directory
Now that the environment is ready and your backup is secured, the next step is to access the correct game directory where the grass-removal file needs to be placed.
The location varies slightly depending on the version of Android you are using and whether you installed PUBG Mobile from the Play Store, a third-party store, or a cloned instance. Typically, the directory path looks like this:
Android > data > com.tencent.ig > files > UE4Game > ShadowTrackerExtra > ShadowTrackerExtra > Saved > Paks
In some cases, depending on your Android version or file manager app, access to this directory may be restricted. If this happens, you can use a file manager that supports root access or permissions handling like ZArchiver or MT Manager.
Once inside the Paks folder, you’ll notice several .pak files that control game textures, models, and environmental elements. This is where the grass-removal file will go, as it will override the default grass texture rendering without affecting other assets.
It is important not to delete any existing .pak files unless you are completely sure of what they do. Instead, simply paste the new file into this folder.
Pasting the File and Overriding Existing Assets
With the target directory open and ready, it’s time to paste the grass-removal file you have. The file might be named something like NoGrass_AllMaps_3.9.pak or similar, depending on the creator’s naming convention. Again, since you already have the file, do not rename it unless specifically instructed in the download instructions.
When pasting the file into the Paks folder, you may receive a prompt asking if you want to replace or overwrite existing files. Select “Replace” or “Overwrite” – this is a necessary step because the new file is designed to override default map data specifically related to grass and foliage rendering.
Make sure the copying process completes fully without interruption. A failed transfer can cause corrupted textures or game startup errors. Once copied, double-check that the file is indeed present in the folder and has the correct file size (as indicated in your original download).
For extra safety, you can set the file to read-only using file properties. While this isn’t always required, some users find it helps prevent the game from automatically overwriting the file during hotfix updates.
Launch the Game and Verify Grass Removal
After the file has been placed and the directory has been confirmed, it’s time to test the result in-game. Start PUBG Mobile normally and enter a custom match or training room in any map – Erangel, Livik, Miramar, Sanhok, or any other supported map.
Observe the terrain closely. If the file has been applied correctly, all grass will be removed from the ground, leaving the terrain textures flat and visible. This will make it easier to spot enemies who are lying prone or attempting to hide in bushes or vegetation.
Some players notice a significant increase in visibility, aim tracking, and enemy detection, especially in close-range fights. Moreover, depending on your device, you may experience slightly better FPS due to reduced GPU rendering load.
It is crucial to remember that this change is client-side only. That means other players will still see grass unless they use the same file. It does not affect your account rank, matchmaking, or game mechanics – it simply provides a visual advantage.
If you want to restore the game to its original state later, just remove the inserted file and replace it with your original backup.
