PUBG Mobile's Livik gets revamped.
Starting on May 11th, PUBG Mobile is giving Livik a drastic overhaul. This redesign primarily focuses on the urban areas of Livik which have been redesigned to better reflect the available combat options in the game.
Livik's urban landscapes will also see a golden, resource-rich area randomly spawn at the beginning of each match. This golden area will provide a great number of supplies for players to grab. They will also spawn a series of mini-games like Blomster's Soccer Challenge and items like random crates that need treasure maps to track down.
The overhauled map also includes zip lines and the new four-seater Utility Task Vehicle for faster travel between areas, recall towers to revive dead teammates and a volcano hazard which will erupt randomly.
