PUBG Season 9 is just around the corner and it’s time to look at what it has to offer. For one, the runtime for the season is only going to last two months. There’s also going to be a new map, plus two different passes, the latter of which is set to be exclusive for the new season.
A New Dynamic Map
Season 9 is all set to introduce the mysterious and treacherous plateau of Paramo. In addition to having untold secrets, it has a very active volcano. This 3x3 map adds a dynamic world to PUBG. What that means is that the system alters locations between matches, ensuring that each trip to Paramo offers a unique experience. For example, with a volcano present there’s going to be some dynamic lava flows. In addition, Paramo is also going to accessible only by helicopters. The choppers don’t just drop of combatants as they also distribute care packages.
