PUBG Corporation officially released this holiday season a new map called Vikendi, for their popular Battle Royale game PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) on PC. The new map features breathtaking mountains, sweeping snowfields, and frozen lakes. Squad up and stay warm in this tension-filled 6×6 frozen environment. The map has just the right size for gamers to memorize their preferred drop zones or quickly adapt, and large enough to take each match slowly and explore this diverse and unique environment. Some of these locations include European-style cities, the Cosmodrome, snowy forests and the Dino Park with a central maze, among others.
Check out the gameplay trailer of the new Vikendi map in PUBG, featuring some gameplay footage:
The terrain allows for exciting ways for players to interact with their environment and survive. For instance, players and vehicles will leave tracks in the snow, allowing clever enemies to hunt down those that aren’t careful. Additionally, a variety of weather forecasts will have players dropping into light to heavy snow or clear skies with a chance of strong winds.
Players can loot the G36C rifle, a new 5.56mm assault rifle that is exclusive to Vikendi. The rifle is easier to handle than its 7.62mm counterparts but comes at a lower rate of fire. Players can also dash through the deep snow and drift over frozen lakes with ease in the new Snowmobile.
Also live today is Survivor Pass: Vikendi. Over the course of ten weeks, the pass will allow players to earn exclusive skins and rewards by completing 300+ missions or simply by playing the game. Access to the pass is free, but exclusive missions, faster levelling, and additional rewards can be earned by purchasing the Premium Pass for £7.49.
Vikendi and Survivor Pass: Vikendi are now available on PC. The map will be releasing for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 in January 2019.
