As per a previous report , the upcoming map is small and will support a maximum of 40 players at a time. It measures two kilometers by two kilometers_._ The idea behind introducing the Livik map was to create a space where matches could be played quickly.

“We want more people to enjoy PUBG Mobile in a more flexible way,” said producer Rick Li. He added that the map had been created keeping in mind players who wanted to enjoy a quick match whenever they had the time.

Based on Nordic terrain, Livik will offer lots of points of interest, including a volcano, hot spring, and waterfall, among others.

The waterfall will provide unique interactions with the player not available on other maps. Players will be able to launch a motorboat off the top of a waterfall to the water below on an unsuspecting team. They might even get carried away by rapid water flow when standing on the top of the waterfall.

According to Gamereactor , the new update will bring five-vs-five Armory Arena mode, in which players will rotate between 18 different weapons each time they obtain a kill. The update will also let users toggle on and off the camera rotation while focusing on their target.
