PUBG: Battlegrounds, or PUBG’s new map Deston with the name used by the players, has been announced. When we look at this map, which is announced to be released on July 13, we see that the company has signed one of the most different map designs in the recent period. The promotional video and details published for PUBG’s new map Deston are as follows;
PUBG’s new map Deston is coming on July 13
To ensure that its look, feel, and mechanics are appropriate for PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS, this 8×8 map was designed with Haven’s various elements and feedback in mind. Deston is the largest, longest and densest map featured in the game. Over the course of a match, players will be in a dense urban setting, from tall and vertical buildings in Deston to rolling hills, plains and newly designed swamps.
The map aims to present that subtle point between a fun gameplay and immersing players in a real combat environment. Dston will encourage players to learn every environment of the map, forcing them to consider different equipment, vehicles, and trenches to earn chicken dinner. More details about Deston’s new areas can be found below.
- Swamp – The first swampy area of PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS was designed in the northern part of the map. This area is a unique region full of new experiences for players. The dense and lush mangrove forest leads to the occurrence of various conflicts in the immediate vicinity.
- Central Plains – Central plains offer the traditional experience that players recognize and love. Similar to Erangel and Taego, this area strikes a balance between trenches, landscapes, and points of interest (POI) for players to explore. Located within the central plains, Lodge POI is the largest building ever built in the game. Players can quickly enter this building and observe how the hunting goers are hunting.
- Concert Zone – Players will come across a huge chicken balloon floating in the air, while party-goers will find a ball in the concert area. The Paintball Arena will also provide opportunities for short, medium and long distance collisions. Players will want to become familiar with this area due to the possibility of coming to the Team Death Game mode in the future.
- Western Highlands – Shooters will test players’ sniper and sniper rifle skills to enjoy the possibilities of the mountainous region located in the west. With minimal plants and a wide level of visibility, players without a doubt can find themselves right in the middle of the crosshairs. The winding hills and rocky atmosphere in the deserted coastal island region will allow for more hiding and winding battles.
New Motion Mechanics and Features
Booster – When the map is officially released, PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS comes with a whole new movement mechanic to move players around Deston. The booster is a motorized reel, and players can see them attached to the wall of some buildings, including special Cell Towers. This new mechanic will allow players to seamlessly transition from the ground to the top of a building and descend back. In addition, players will not need to carry any special items to use the boosters, and their speed can be adjusted with the sprint button.
Assistive Parachute – There’s no point in designing the tallest buildings ever introduced in PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS if you can’t jump over them – which is why the Auxiliary Parachute has been designed so that players can jump from Deston’s high places without fear. The Auxiliary Parachute is an item available in players’ inventory and remains open at all times, so the parachute will move in such a way that players can mount their parachutes as they land on the map and rescue them from the ground ahead of time. Also with boosters on them, special Cell Towers allow players to combine the booster with the auxiliary parachute and create a slingshot-like movement to travel across the map.
Gas Stations – Dston offers gas stations that process and allow players to get gas to their vehicles as they navigate the map. But if these stations are hit, players must be wary that they could experience the full impact of the Michael Bay explosions.
New Tactical Equipment: Blue Chip Detector
With the release of Deston, the Blue Chip Detector is also coming into play as new tactical equipment. The Blue Chip Detector is the close-range version of the observer scope and helps players locate their opponents within a certain radius. However, due to the delay in detection, it does not show the positions of other players instantly and does not fully reveal the vertical positions in urban areas. The main gameplay structure of PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS remains a top priority, and feedback on the new tactical gear will be closely watched once players start playing.
New Weapons
Like all maps, Deston brings players two new and exclusive weapons. The Origin 12 is a single-bullet shotgun with superior precision and range to be more efficient in all areas of the map. MP9 is a powerful new SMG that specializes in close range.
