BGMI 4.1 update: What to expect

The BGMI 4.1 update preview introduces Penguin Town, a new battleground bringing in-game loot and elevated areas to encourage tactical gameplay. The map appears to be designed to support both close-quarters fights and long-range fights. According to the preview, one of the new additions in this update is the Fish Rocket Launcher.

 

Carrying a winter theme, the update also brings the Snow Festival event, which turns the Erangel map into a frosty warzone, and also brings limited-time seasonal missions. As part of the event, players can use Ice Gadgets to alter their environment—freezing terrain to slow opponents, creating slippery traps, or using a flamethrower to boost mobility and break through icy zones. The update further adds new tactical tools such as the Fin Tuna Syringe, which temporarily enhances movement speed.

Notably, with the rollout of this update, the ongoing Spooky Soiree mode and the Halloween-like gameplay will be retired.
