While competitor Fortnite will soon end Chapter 2 and move on to the next phase, PUBG: Battlegrounds will soon get a fresh content update again. Here we tell you what you can look forward to in version 15.1.
Krafton has now announced that PUBG: Battlegrounds will migrate to the new version 15.1 on December 1st on the PC. As usual, console gamers will have to wait a little longer and will be able to get started on December 9th.
The fresh update brings a lot of holiday mood with it on the occasion of the season. The most important areas of the Map Vikendi are decorated as a winter wonderland, including for example Dinoland, the castle and the winery. In user-defined games, you can also activate additional decorations and suitable weather effects in other locations on the map.
Incidentally, version 15.1 also marks the start of the new ranking season and there is also a fresh vehicle with a new mountain bike. The Sanhok map is also updated and the map rotation is adjusted. Krafton himself states the most important innovations as follows:
- Off the beaten path with the new mountain bike: With the start of Update 15.1, mountain bikes will be available on all maps in normal matches. They can be found folded up as loot, especially in the outskirts of the maps. In contrast to other vehicles, the mountain bike has no motor, which means that players can move almost silently and secretly across the map, thus avoiding conflicts or surprising enemies. Additionally, players can sprint, jump, and do wheelies on the mountain bike, making it one of the most dynamic vehicles in the game.
- New ranking season: Update 15.1 introduces a new Ranked Season, which will automatically add any rewards earned during Ranked Season 14 to players’ inventories.
- Sanhok receives some updates: Based on player feedback gathered over the past few months, the map is receiving a number of enhancements to offer more tactical uses. Sanhok’s coastal area will be expanded to include more rocks and trees for better cover as you traverse the area. Adjusting the weather effects also improves the players’ view of the entire map.
- Map rotation: With 15.1, Vikendi replaces the Paramo card in normal matches. In ranked games, however, paramo is removed. The new map rotation for matches looks like this:
- Normale Matches:
- Erangel
- Miramar
- Sanhok
- Taego
- Weekends
- Ranked Matches:
