PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, better known as PUBG, has been pushing out a slew of impressive updates, of recent. We saw the battle royale game introduce throwables and vending machines a couple of months ago. And now, PUBG for PC has received a major new update that swaps out the cold terrains of Vikendi for a smaller new islandic map Karakin. There’s also new weapons, vehicles, and other features added with version 6.1 update.
This update introduces a smaller new 2×2 map to the game for a more fast-paced and exhilarating experience. It’s an island off the coast of Northern Africa with an arid, rocky environment – with a lot of open terrain features. PUBG says that “expect the tension of Miramar combined with the pace of Sanho.”
Since Karakin is a smaller map, you won’t see 100 players fight to be the last man standing. Instead, it’s just a 64-player map and there’s going to be a lot of combat the moment you drop in. You can choose to quickly loot up, stock up on long-range rifles to take down enemies from the mountains. That could be a great strategy.
One of the highlights of this update is the new Black Zone. You all must be familiar with the Red Zone that appears at regular intervals and bombs certain places on the map. The Black Zone isn’t much different from the Red Zone, but the former can demolish buildings in PUBG as well.
Karakin also introduces certain locations around the map called breach points, which you can destroy using the new Sticky Bomb. These can be both walls or floors and are easily recognizable as compared to standard walls. It will enable you to take down hidden enemies or sneak attack on them via the breach created with the Sticky Bomb.
