PUBG: Battlegrounds' next map, Deston, is a bit of a beast. The massive map, which features everything from a skyscraper-filled city, to a swamp, to a paintball arena, is dubbed by Krafton as PUBG's "most varied and challenging battleground yet". As with most new maps, it comes with some unique features and mechanics too - some of which appear to be inspired by another popular, free-to-play battle royale game.
As well as the new hovercraft vehicle, the Airboat, there are two other traversal mechanics that we've seen in various games before PUBG, but that will certainly give it some big Call of Duty Warzone vibes. Ziplines were added to Warzone to help scale the tall structures in the now vaulted map of Verdansk, and it appears Krafton is doing the same with the highrises of Deston. "Ascenders" will allow players to quickly zip up and down the side of buildings to either gain height advantage or return to ground level.
On top of this, players in Deston will be equipped with always-on parachutes by default, allowing you to jump from tall structures and glide to cover some ground. Like in Warzone, these are unlimited use, and are not a lootable item - you will automatically have one in your inventory.
