New Map – Nusa

A 1×1 km map for fast-paced matches!

Availability: 9/15 at 2:00 (UTC+0)

Playable in Ranked and Unranked Mode

Nusa is a new 1×1 km tourist island map set in the tropics. With abundant supplies, players can start fighting right after you land and get that chicken dinner with ease!

Nusa is teeming with beautiful sights and interesting gameplay for you to experience. This will soon be your favorite hotspot to show off to your friends. It’s worth checking out and exploring!

Launch of New Mechanics, Weapons, and Vehicles!

  • New Mechanic: Special Recall

If you are defeated within the first 4 minutes of the match but still have surviving teammates, you will be able to respawn once and quickly jump back into the battleground with a random weapon. (Super Recall activates automatically when playing solo, without the need of teammates)

  • New Mechanic: Zipline

Many ziplines have been built at specific locations on Nusa. Just approach a zipline to use it and move around quickly.

Note that ziplines are very fragile and are easily damaged! So use them at your own discretion. The new Tactical Crossbow can be used to repair ziplines. So be sure to carry one for peace of mind.

  • New Mechanic: Elevator

An elevator has been installed in every hotel of Telepak Town. Use it to move between floors. Not only can it help you save energy, it can also be used to flank enemies tactically with your teammates.

  • New Weapon: Tactical Crossbow

Tactical Crossbow can shoot a rope to repair ziplines, or use flaming bolts to set certain buildings on fire.

  • New Weapon: NS2000 Shotgun

A weapon that shoots accurately at medium and short-range. It shoots 12 gauge shells when firing from the hip and 12 gauge slugs while aiming down sights.

  • New Vehicle: Quad

A light and nimble 2-seater vehicle that can be used to move quickly through undulating terrain while retaining excellent stability and does not flip over easily.

It’s perfect for going on a ride to sightsee around Nusa with a friend while moving across treacherous terrain quickly.

Apart from that, there’s still lots of hidden gameplay, such as PvE battles, Beach Balls, combustible buildings, destructible water jars, and more for you to explore.

An all new map packed with new experiences that shouldn’t be missed!

Major Update – Erangel

Map and building updates that elevate your battle experiences!

Availability: Releases with Version 2.2

Playable in Ranked and Unranked Mode

  • New Structure: Bicycle Shed

Bicycle sheds have been added to the edge of the map. Mountain Bikes will spawn here periodically. Players who prefer to gear up should not miss out on the chance to traverse the map on two wheels!

  • Hospital and Mylta Power Updates

The structures of the Hospital and Mylta Power have been updated to streamline combat and the search for supplies.

  • In the Ferry Pier update, two new ports will be added to the southwest of the Farm and to the south of the Sosnovka Military Base.

The port layouts and amounts of resources have been optimized to add more open areas for players to gear up.

  • New Weather: Rainbow

A new weather effect for Erangel to make things more visually pleasing and provide you with a suitable battleground.

  • New Mechanic: Flash Shop

A discount shop that pops up in Erangel from time to time. Don’t miss it!

No more running out of fuel! Vehicles may now be refueled at the gas stations in Erangel. You no longer have to worry about running out of gas and ditching your vehicle. Of course, all things come at a price. So be sure you have the means to pay for it!

  • New System: Targeted Supply Crates

Crates inside buildings in Erangel have been updated to reflect 3 different types: medical, token, and military supplies. The supplies in these crates are better than what players can find on the ground.
