Erangel Transit System - Hyperlines

A new transit system called Hyperlines is being introduced to the PUBG Mobile map Erangel. This high-speed transit system is nothing but a levitating transport that looks like a futuristic train that runs without any tracks. It seems to have multiple routes spread throughout the map and players will be able to board them from specific stations, where these vehicles will be halting for just 10 seconds.

Air Conveyer Launcher

A structure called Air Conveyer Launcher will be introduced to PUBG Mobile which will allow players to literally launch themselves in the air, towards a particular direction. These structures will be found in some urban areas across various maps, with players being able to control the direction and height of their launch before taking off.

This seems to be inspired by another Battle Royale title called Apex Legends and has been added to facilitate a faster mode of transportation. Players will now be able to cover huge distances quickly, while also adding an additional gameplay component that allows for more vertical engagements.
