BGMI 2.5 Update Explained
Firstly, players should note that Krafton has implemented playtime restrictions to strengthen its efforts to promote responsible gaming practices. Therefore, the playtime for users under 18 will be three hours whereas for the rest of the players will be six hours daily. Furthermore, there are other checks in place including parental verification via one-time password (OTP) and daily spending limit for minors.
Here are the details about the BGMI 2.5 Update:
New Map Nusa: Nusa is a 1x1 map of a resort island located in a tropical zone. It is the smallest map to be introduced in BGMI. Krafton stated that the map offers a thrilling experience and that a single match only lasts for eight minutes. Some of the key highlights of the map are:
Ziplines: The map features distinctive mechanisms such as Ziplines that players can use to move quickly across the island. Elevators can also be installed in hotel buildings in “New City”. It also features unique attractions and fun gameplay features such as zorb balls, a swimming pool, combustible buildings, and destructible jars.
Super Recall: In duo or squad mode, players who die within a certain time can be recalled to the battlefield carrying a random weapon by any of their surviving teammates. In solo mode, players can be recalled automatically without a teammate's help.
New Weapon: With the all-new Tactical Crossbow, players will be able to restore the zipline by using a loop and can also set houses alight by using fire arrows. Players can also shoot more accurately in mid and close range and fire shotgun bullets in peek & fire mode. The mode changes to single shot when players scope in.
New Vehicle: A two-seater off-road ATV has been introduced. This lightweight and speedy ATV can move fast even in highly curvy terrains.
