Livik improvements
In addition to the New Erangel map, PUBG MOBILE’s much-loved small-scale high intensity newest battlefield Livik also got a facelift.

The M1014 supports shotgun muzzle and ammo belt attachments and is the most effective of the currently available shotguns. Livik also received various visual effects improvements, balance adjustments and bug fixes.

The island will be decorated with romantic fixtures such as a two-seater swing and a romantic boat.
