About Karakin Map

Karakin is a 2×2 rough, dry, desert-type map based on the North African coasts. It has large sand fields filled with boulders and bushes. This map was first released on PUBG PC and console version in February 2020. It was famous for its ‘Demolition Zone‘ and exclusive guns and vehicles. It is a small-sized zone just like the red zone in the Erangel map. But the difference is, bombs will fall from the sky constantly and these bombs can destroy the buildings which are in the purple demolition zone. This means if any player tries to hide or camp inside the buildings in the demolition zone, they will turn into ashes in no time.

It is one of the smallest maps in the game, and only 64 players will take part in a single Classic match. It was announced that PUBG Mobile Update 1.3 will bring the Karakin map. The PUBG Mobile 1.3 is already rolling out to players with the new Hundred Rhythms Mode, which brings along several new weapons and special abilities.
