Vikendi Map Changes
Vikendi map changes will arrive in the new season.
Better than ever, with updated landmarks, trains and a slight change in season.
- Trains have been added and can be found moving along multiple tracks across Vikendi
- There is a major train line that extends along the perimeter of Vikendi, with 6 connected tracks towards the inland areas of the island
- Trains stop temporarily at train stations across the map
- Reduced snow cover
- Snow cover is reduced more on the Southern areas of the island
- Snowbikes and Snowmobiles have been removed
- Motorcycle and Motorcycle with sidecar will spawn instead, being more versatile vehicles for the updated terrain
- Weather will be either Clear or Snowy.
- Moonlight has been removed for now, but will return with visual improvements at a later date.
- General map optimizations have been made
- You can play the updated Vikendi in custom matches
- A new Cargo Depot has been added
The all-new Vikendi was previously available as part of limited tests with community creators, but anyone can now try it out on the game’s test servers.
Vikendi has seen a big overhaul to its terrain and landmarks, with nine running trains being the biggest addition.
Many of the snow-covered spots have been replaced with grass and dirt, and a number of the bigger spots have been redesigned with more cover and fewer buildings in certain spots.
Dino Park has been expanded into Dinoland, and there’s a new Cargo Depot place.
Snowbikes/Snowmobiles have been removed and Abbey has been relocated to Mount Kreznik
Its second bite of the cherry will hopefully be more successful, especially with the addition of trains that playtesters have described as "being both fun and absolutely ridiculous."

New Weapon - Mosin Nagant
We're also being treated to a new weapon - the Mosin-Nagant.
The Mosin is a bolt-action sniper rifle, which most will commonly know from World War II games, available in Vikendi and Erangel.
The Mosin-Nagant’s stats are a direct copy of the K98’s; this is in an attempt to not dilute the loot pool further.
Having different weapons with the same stats, however, is an experiment and may not continue going forward.
The developer didn’t want to improve diversity at the expense of availability of the fan-favourite weapons.
