BGMI 3.5 Update Features 

New Themed Mode: Icemire Frontier

New Areas:

Frostheim:

This village has two main places: the Chieftain's Stronghold and BeastTaming Grounds. Both are packed with supplies, and there’s an Ice Crystal Crate as the final reward.

  • The Chieftain's building is in the middle, with a hall full of supplies below. 
  • The BeastTaming Grounds is a rougher area, with the Beast Warden’s Keep at the center. 

A Frostborne Dragon is trapped in ice in the middle. After a while, the seal will break, revealing a sanctuary where players can fight for the Ice Crystal Crate.

There are snow piles that players can use as cover or turn into snowballs. Snowballs can roll but break if hit.

Magic Crystal Mines:

  • These mines have a settlement on top and a mine below. Players can enter through a big entrance to find treasure. 
  • Break the icicles at the mine’s entrance to get supplies. 
  • There are hidden caves on the surface and underground. Break the ice walls to find rewards. 
  • Find the Magic Crystal Crate in the center and break its weak spots to get rewards. 
  • After some time, the Frostborne Dragon will appear in the mine.
