Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds added new map Karakin, and rotated out Vikendi
Karakin is a Morocco-y, Algeria-ish, Tunisia-like sort of place with a few small towns, some farms, a dock, and plenty of palm trees. Though it is small, it does have plenty of cover between the knobbly landscape and gert big rocks littering it. Cover is less reliable on Karakin than other maps, mind.
The most dramatic threat of Karakin is its random Black Zone bombings, which are similar to ye olde Red Zone bombings but only last a few seconds and can actually destroy buildings and kill people inside. Players can also bust through certain walls using the new sticky bombs, and bullets penetrate some particularly thin walls too. Hunkering down is a lot less safe here.
Karakin’s launch today comes after a week on the public test servers, during which the devs gathered some feedback they haven’t had time to act on. “In a future update we’ll be increasing Karakin loot based on player feedback received during the testing period,” they say. They plan to make that change that “soon.”
