In v1.0, players will get a first opportunity to check out the new desert map called Miramar:

• Miramar supports 2 weather types:
  • Clear
  • Sunrise
• Miramar builds on and modifies the core Battle Royale experience by providing varied visuals and gameplay:
  • Vaulting & Climbing action will be even more useful when crossing the Miramar terrain
  • Players can experience highly tactical battles that will force them to utilize their cover and concealment skills
  • Choosing the vehicle type is more important than before, as off-road driving is now different from on-road driving experience
