Players of the highly acclaimed battle royale game PUBG New State are in for a visual treat with the introduction of the Northern Lights, or aurora borealis, to their favorite map, Erangel. This stunning phenomenon, which is now part of the game's latest December content update, is promised to make the nighttime fights even more captivating and add a dash of nature's magic to the battlefield.
The Northern Lights, also known as the Erangel Aurora, are a rare natural light display that are typically seen in high-latitude regions near the Arctic and Antarctic. Within the game, just like in nature, these lights are transient, appearing at varying times during matches to awe players with their vibrant colors and ethereal beauty. The environmental change is exclusive to Erangel, one of the game's most loved maps and also the first one ever introduced in PUBG.
This atmospheric addition is not merely for aesthetics; it influences the gameplay itself. When the aurora lights up the sky, players under its glow can earn a 50% tier point bonus for winning the match. However, as there is a risk for every reward, those who lose a match under the aurora will suffer a greater loss of tier points by 20% compared to normal. This introduces a new element of risk and reward, pushing players to adapt their strategies and play more tactically when the lights are present.
Krafton, the game's developer, has indicated that the inclusion of weather systems in New State Mobile is at an early stage, signaling that the aurora is just the beginning. They plan to roll out more dynamic weather features in the future, taking into account the players' experiences and feedback from this initial offering of the celestial lights.
The patch also sees the rollout of the 26th volume of the Survivor Pass, presenting Sentry as the headlining character. By reaching a certain level, players can unlock this character for free, further adding to the rewards up for grabs in this update. For those seeking even more exclusivity and additional standout collections, the Premium Pass includes the Sentry and Ravel Queen costume sets, while the Legacy Pass offers the coveted Moonlight Goddess Set.
On the weaponry front, the update brings customization options to the table for the M110A1 sniper rifle, adding a second customization feature. The new Dedicated Suppressor attachment, which can be fitted onto the muzzle, boosts damage and noise suppression at the expense of occupying the muzzle slot and decreasing recoil control. This pushes players to consider new tactical approaches to their gameplay, balancing power with control.
Furthermore, Erangel's session has undergone calibration; now, the notorious battleground's blue zone moves at a quicker pace, being 10% faster, and there's also a generous increase in item spawns by 20%. These adjustments are designed to heighten the game's intensity and ensure that players are kept on their toes throughout the match.
It is noteworthy that PUBG New State can be downloaded and enjoyed for free, and this update continues to underline Krafton's commitment to keeping the game fresh, exciting, and responsive to its players' needs and preferences.
As 2023 draws to a close, both seasoned and new players can look forward to this dramatic and strategic expansion to PUBG New State’s universe. With the night sky now illuminated by the mesmerizing aurora borealis, the battleground has never been more inviting nor, potentially, more perilous. The challenge has been set: strategize, adapt, and emerge victorious beneath the shimmering dance of the Erangel Aurora.
