And two new bird varieties
Around a month agoPUBG Corp teased “Tiger”, a new map which would allow players to respawn if they died early. Well, that map’s called Taego (I see what they did there), and it’s out now on test servers. Seeing as I spend most of my time dead inPUBG, it has my attention.

Then you’ve got the “Comeback Arena”, a small island separate from Taego which you’ll be whisked away to if you die during the first “Blue Zone phase”. You’ll need to loot to stay alive, and if you survive long enough you’ll be transported back to Taego later in the game. I like that it’s a mini battle royale featuring a bunch of players, as opposed toWarzone’sgulag, which is a straight 1v1 to the death.
Although PUBG’s added one thing that’s ripped straight from Warzone, and that’s the new Self AED item. Have one of these in your inventory and you’ll be able to revive yourself if you’ve been knocked down. You’ll only find these on Taego, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they chuck them into other maps if people like them.
Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of all this, though? Taego is home to two new “friendly bird varieties” that’ll react to “player movement and gunfire”. Instead of running away from your shots, maybe they just leg it straight at you in anger?
