Winter is here! And, Tencent Games seems to be making most of this seasonal transition. The company’s gaming division PUBG Corp. has added a fourth map dubbed Vikendi to the popular battlefield game PUBG and it seems to have attracted a lot of fans already.
The new map is a 6km x 6Km snow covered area with patches of dry land, buildings and it also introduces a snow mobile and a new weapon, the G36C Assault Rifle (which is in place of the SCAR). It is an isolated Northern resort island smaller than Erangel and Miramar, but just a tad larger than tropical Sanhok which is 4km x 4km.
The Vikendi map introduced different types of terrain and also has a giant cosmodrome with towers that resembles a place from where you’d launch rockets. There is also an amusement park in the centre of the map, which is more like a Jurassic park and also has a castle.
It’s rare that you’ll find a car in this map hence you’ll be at the mercy of snow mobiles for swift transportation.
The gameplay gets much tougher as there are lots of hiding spots for snipers and players who prefer stealth play. Close combat will have have its share of adrenaline.
PUBG has recently released a new update for the game, which added a layout for players with large hands and also added Arabic as an additional language.
You will be able to communicate better thanks to the new commands, which have been added to Quick Chat. You can play the Vikendi map in all three modes: Solo, Duo and Squad.
