New Map Areas

• Ocean Palace:
  • Overview
    • Situated underwater beneath a huge statue, the Ocean Palace is filled with supplies and treasures. A powerful trident awaits at the center of the palace. Retrieve it after the countdown ends.
    • Parachute directly to the ocean surface at the start of a match to get to the Ocean Palace as quickly as possible. You'll quickly submerge upon entering the water, allowing you to reach the Ocean Palace.
    • The Sea Suppressor's barrier surrounds the area, creating an air pocket within which players can move around freely. The Kraken will destroy the Sea Suppressor after some time to flood the Ocean Palace. Evacuate as soon as possible using a Portal or upflow currents when this happens.
    • There are lost crates hidden in the waters around the Ocean Palace. Dive in and explore to find surprises.
  • Respawn Rules
    • Gain the protection of the Heart of the Sea a certain period of time after entering the Ocean Palace in the form of a special respawn. You will quickly respawn after getting eliminated in the area. You only get one special respawn per match.
    • You will lose the special respawn if you leave the Ocean Palace area.
    • Ocean Palace Crates may contain Respawn Cards. As long as the card is still valid when used, it will return you to the battleground regardless of where you were eliminated. You can still be recalled by your teammates via the Recall Tower after you've used a Respawn Card.
• Forsaken Ruins:
  • There are two Ocean Temples situated within the Forsaken Ruins. Enter them by finding switches to remove the water veils sealing their entryways.
  • Located beneath the Forsaken Ruins is the Sea Treasury. Light all the pillars at its entrance to open it and obtain the treasure inside. After doing so, enter the Portal to be teleported up into the sky within the Playzone, from where you can jump to any location.
  • There are blasting currents and a Mirage Tower on the ground of the Forsaken Ruins. The blasting currents will carry you upwards, and the Mirage Tower helps you get around the area more easily.
  • A whale will leap through the sky in certain parts of the area. It will leave a water orb behind when it lands. Enter it to ride the Whale Escape Pod.
• Water Prism:
  • Water Prisms are found all over the map and are surrounded by a barrier. Approach it to break the barrier and enter it to open the crate inside.
