This map has been announced for development for quite a while, but only now has Tencent begun to tease the first images. The core remains from the classic Erangel map, but there are still new and unique features.
Through the video, you can see that the river will now flow from one end to the other of the map, making it convenient for opening up transportation strategies via water. In addition to the changes in terrain, it will also feature new functionalities like mobility and grappling.
Erangel 2.0 is currently being tested on the beta server in China, and it will take a while before Tencent releases the international version. Through the teaser trailer, you can see a clear division of roles among tanker, scouter, and supporter.
Tankers can heal and charge into the front lines. Scouters can use grappling hooks to occupy high positions and maintain vision for the entire team. Finally, supporters are tasked with erecting shields and collecting items for the team.
There might also be features like throwing items and melee weapons as seen in PUBG PC. Useless weapons could become beneficial when your gun runs out of ammo or simply for entertaining teammates.
