New Themed Area: Snowy Village

New Mechanic: Respawn Battle

A new respawn mechanic! Get an additional respawn chance within the first 8 minutes of the match! (Only available in Erangel )

Respawn Battle takes place on a separate island that is isolated from the outside by a Seclusion Zone. Defeated players who enter the battleground cannot voluntarily leave the Seclusion Zone. Otherwise, they will be eliminated immediately. Respawn Points will be activated periodically at random locations. Brave warriors who make it to a Respawn Point and interact with it within the time limit get to respawn and return to the match! A special Emergency Respawn item also appears randomly in Respawn Battle. Players that find this item can use it to immediately respawn and return to the battleground!

The Respawn Battle mechanic gives players an additional respawn chance, but they can only enter the battleground once!

When a player with a Respawn Card is first defeated, the respawn item will first be used to return the player to the battleground. If the player is defeated again during the match, they will enter a separate battleground for the Respawn Battle. Those who complete the mission can return to the battleground.

When a player without a Respawn Card is first defeated, they will be transported to the Respawn Battle battleground. Those who complete the respawn mission can return to the battleground! If the player is defeated again during the match, they can still respawn via Respawn Card if they have one, or by getting recalled by a teammate.

During the Respawn Battle, players can be directly recalled by a teammate at any time. But if they are defeated again after returning to the battleground, they will not be able to enter the Respawn Battle a second time.

Players in the Respawn Battle that don't get recalled by teammates and get defeated will be immediately eliminated.

New Item: Shadow Blade

A brand new powerful melee weapon that is mainly found in the new themed buildings.

Slashes are imbued with a sword aura which can hit nearby enemies.

Use the Draw Slash skill to dash and approach, or distance yourself from enemies.

The passive Assault Blade skill triggers against shots fired from the front, and blocks them for a short time.

Portable Grappling Hook: Skytether Hook

Equip it to launch and propel yourself in a straight line to the target location.

Tap the skill button again to deploy a parachute to briefly glide in the air for enhanced maneuverability.

New Item: Proxy Scout

A new tactical item that creates a remote control Proxy Scout when thrown.

It has the same appearance as the user and can be used for reconnaissance and distraction.

It can perform basic character actions and can also use a Skytether Hook to quickly move around.

It cannot shoot or inflict damage in any other way, but when the Proxy Scout is eliminated or manually detonated, it can blow nearby enemies away.

After using the Proxy Scout, the user can control it at their original location, but cannot perform any other actions. Make sure the area is safe!
