Update 19.1 is bringingAssassin’s Creed’s Abstergo Corporationinto the Haven map, with the company assuming control of one of the map’s buildings. Sharp-eyed players can find a hidden Animus machine along with one ofAssassin’s Creed’s signature “leap of faith” ledges strategically placed on the building’s rooftop. NewAssassin’s Creed-themed cosmetic rewards can be earned through gameplay, including costumes, bag skins, parachute skin, an emote, and more. This occasion also marks the first time the Haven map has made an appearance since Season 16.

Several newitems forPUBGhave also made it into the update. The new MP9 weapon is available on the Deston map and is the first full-auto SMG that uses 9mm ammunition, giving players a worthy alternative to weapons like the P90 thanks to a more common ammo type. To compensate, the MP9 has a slightly lower effective range, lower fire rate, and reduced damage compared to the P90.

A new item, the Folded Shield, can now be found on any map. This portable deployable cover has 1500 HP, giving players a chance to take cover in open spaces. The new Blue Chip Detector uses a primary weapon slot and scans for enemies within 100m, revealing nearby enemies as dots on the map. A new vehicle, the Pillar Security Car, has a max speed of 81mph (130km/h) with controllable lights and sirens, and players may find high-quality equipment in the trunk.
