Since the 3.8 update went live, PUBG Mobile has introduced the “Steampunk Frontier” theme across three classic battlegrounds—Arenal, Livik and Rondo—blending giant steam trains, mechanical towns and dynamic events into its signature battle royale experience.
▍Map Overview: A Steampunk Revolution
Covered Areas: Arenal | Livik | Rondo
Core Features:
Towering steam locomotives crisscrossing the map
Clockworkrun towns with interactive NPCs
New “Steampunk Frontier” events and resource nodes
Teams collect Steam Coins by riding trains or opening crates, then trade with clockwork attendants and merchants to stock up on drinks, gear and supplies—adding an extra layer of strategy beyond pure firefights.
Two Major Resource Hubs
Etherholm (Ether City)
Central Station: Passenger lounges plus clockwork attendants & merchants
Steam Coins: Earned via train rides and crate looting
Spending: Buy beverages, ammo and special equipment
Epoch Cargo Train
Summon at the station console
First delivers a Blue Ethercore Crate, then a Gold Ethercore Crate
Gold crates hold rarer weapons and items—teams can chase the train to claim these highvalue drops.
Clock Tower Secret Room
Elevator from the residential district leads to a hidden chamber
Contains three supply crates and a secret passage
Exit via hangglider to make a swift getaway after looting
Cargo Hub
Layout: Divided by tracks into large and small urban zones, linked with slide rails
Large Zone: Clockwork attendants and merchants
Small Zone: Three steam engines to activate—each opens additional supply crates
An Express Train patrols the network on a set schedule (tap the map’s bottomleft icon to view times). It stops at rural and wilderness platforms, letting squads traverse the entire map in seconds.
▍Special Gameplay & Mobility Systems
Aerial Balloon Stations
Scattered along tracks and in the wild, these let you ascend by hotair balloon then glide in for reconnaissance or ambushes.
Roller Coaster Checkpoints
A twostory structure with a coaster track: ride with teammates to earn extra ammo, grenades and more. You might even trigger a “Chosen One” prompt for a rare skin or reward.
▍Player Experience & Outlook
High Interactivity
Steam coin economy, train logistics and mechanical devices greatly expand tactical options.
Swift Mobility
Express trains and gliding balloons enable rapid rotations, supply runs or surprise flanks.
Immersive Atmosphere
Steampunk visuals, clockwork sound design and the Attack on Titan–themed Utgard Castle (complete with destructible towers and roaming Titans) deliver a rich, sciencefiction battlefield.
With 3.8, PUBG Mobile once again pushes beyond conventional combat, offering a fresh fusion of action, strategy and interactive storytelling. Whether you’re a veteran marksman or a rookie recruit, there’s never been a more exhilarating time to drop in.
▍Power Up Your Game
Whether you’re towering over foes like a Titan, counterattacking from above with ODM gear, or exploring the frontier by steam train, every move writes your legend.
