    • In the lobby, players can check their weapon use information, last match results, and the rewards they acquired thus far through the newly created Mastery tab.

Sadly no public roadmap at the moment.

A few small things are known though:

- Erangel will get an overhaul
- The armored UAZ airdrop will be replaced by an amphibious vehicle (BRDM)
- DLSS support coming
- More charms and skins (of course)

I'm expecting a few new weapons and at least 1 new map this year as well

There are also rumors about an NPC zombie mode

The new loot levels on Erangel are kind of astounding. I know they were doing this in phases before they overhauled the map itself, but it kinda feels like old PUBG when you could drop Mili or George and walk out armed to teeth. I almost feel like they need to tone down SLRs, they're everywhere now.


It's also funny how they keep adding more "realistic" sounds. They added that rattling and jingling a little while ago that ramps up the more stuff you have equipped, and now items make different specific sounds looting and dropping them based on type, and vehicles now have suspension sounds that constantly make me think I'm crashing or being shot out.
