Updated Vikendi Arrives on PUBG Console Test Servers
By Nathan Fusco

An updated Vikendi has arrived on PTS servers for PUBG Console players. With it comes a couple big changes including a new Spike Trap, and an all new feature called PUBG Labs.
Vikendi is the newest map in PUBG's lineup, but that doesn't mean it's without fault. The map needed a few changes, and PUBG Corp delivered.

PUBG Corp has acknowledged that Vikendi is a perfect map for sniping and wants to double down on that feature, "We love a good Sniper's Duel. With that in mind we've done a clean up of Vikendi to make it more appealing to the Long Gun Hunters in our midst."
The map also has quite a few towns on the edge of the map which can be confusing or troubling to land at. In response, PUBG Corp has cleaned up a few of the cities, making them easier to traverse, loot, and escape toward the zone. This should allow players to land toward the edge of the map more often.
The terrain was the last focus for the team, trying to make it easier for off-road driving and to make it from circle to circle. On top of that, added hiding spots around high elevation allows for more back-and-forth gun fights.
