Last week, we had the developers give us some exciting details that provide a sneak-peak into exactly what’s in store for us.”
Below are some key points that will give players a sneak-peek into Livik:
- The upcoming new map Livik is said to be a smaller map with faster-paced action-packed matches, making it the first-ever battle royale map to have 15-minute long matches specially created for players that shuffle between various work schedules and life commitments through the day.
- New and unique landmarks, terrain changes, and themes in this map will be introduced to the map different from anything players have witnessed in the past.
- Based on Nordic terrain, Livik will offer waterfalls and hot springs, therefore, adding unique strategic elements as well as in-game interactions to matches that are already focused on high octane action.
- According to the company with the addition of waterfalls, players fear the chance of getting washed away with the rapid water flow, this will lead to the development of new skills and tactics such as launching a motorboat from the top of a waterfall into the water below.
- In addition to this there will be new guns, he MK12 burst sniper rifle and a P90 original submachine gun from Team Death Match Arena Mode as well as an extended barrel which will allow for weapons that usually only excel at close to medium range engagements to push out a bit further.
