Frozen Kingdom mode is now available in Erangel, Livik, and Vikendi

The Frozen Kingdom mode is the main attraction of the 2.9 update. The update celebrates the snow festival and will be live in the game during the winter season. The mode spawns a new region, Snowy Village, at different spots—Stalber in Erangel, Goroka in Vikendi, and Iceborg in Livik. It contains plenty of loot and will be a hot drop in the mode.

BGMI players will also be able to use a new gun, Snow Blaster (Ice Gun), roam in new locations called Snow Towns, and travel in different areas riding on a wooden reindeer.
