PUBG: Battlegrounds, which turned into the flagship of the battle royale genre when it was released, but has moved away from its former popularity today, is preparing to host an important update. With the new update, the game will get a new map that players can’t wait to play.
PUBG: Battlegrounds will have a new map with the 18.2 update, as well as the ‘Boosters’ feature that will be useful for you on this map. With this feature, players will have the ability to move vertically quickly with the help of ropes. The important features that are planned to be added to the game with the new update are as follows:
New map: Deston and Booster feature
Deston will be a map that hosts a city area called Ripton with skyscrapers, a swamp zone, a festival area, a hydroelectric dam, an arena, and more. The map will allow the new ‘Elevator’ add-on and the use of parachutes that can be unlocked after jumping from a certain height.
The riser feature will include a rope with one end at the top of structures such as tall buildings and the other end in the ground. Players will be able to use this rope to descend or ascend by approaching from both ends with the Riser tool. It is possible to move up or down on the rope with the movement keys.
Base stations:
Similar to the launchers found in Apex Legends, PUBG is adding its own launcher function to the game. With Base Stations, players will be able to jump up and down the station with the help of the Booster. That way, they’ll be able to get around faster than usual.
Visual changes on maps:
In addition to these contents, the PUBG team will also make visual updates at some points on the maps. On the Miramar map, the terrain has been improved to make it easier to drive, while the interior and exterior of the small huts have also been revamped. In the oasis area, the water depth is aligned to the ankles of the characters on the shore and waist level in the middle. Also added new vehicle locations.
You will be able to produce your own cosmetics:
With the PUBG: Battlegrounds 18.2 update, the ‘Workshop’ system, where you can produce your own cosmetics, is also coming to the game. With this system, players will be able to produce cosmetics that have not been seen before and do not exist in the game, using the materials they have.
Other innovations:
- Areas in Deston only accessible by drones
- Security doors that can be opened with security keys
- New weapon: O12 rapid pump
- New vehicle: Swamp Boat
