Get to know the Verdansk map

Verdansk is one of the largest maps we’ve seen in any Battle Royale game. So if you find yourself on the opposite side of the map from the next circle, you’ll need to give yourself lots of time to get there – or use a vehicle (more on vehicles below!). With Season 6, several key features have been added to Verdansk – the primary of which is a subway system that can be used to fast-travel around the map. You can read more about that here.

Loot is randomised with each new match, as are vehicle and Buy Station locations. Contract locations are also randomised, but contracts differ in that new ones will appear with each new circle throughout a match (up to a point).

Loot may be randomised, but certain buildings and overall areas have a higher chance of high-quality loot than others. Our Warzone map locations guide features a guide to the best loot locations across Verdansk.

The Gas border that slowly contracts and brings players closer together is no pushover. It’s far more punishing than its equivalent in most other games, dealing chunks of damage from the very start – and it deals damage to both health and armor simultaneously.

You can protect yourself from the Gas for a short time using a Gas Mask, but beware when fighting around the border, because the animation of pulling on or taking off a Gas Mask can interrupt your fighting.

If you’re having trouble gauging distance in the enormous map of Verdansk, Ping the map. By looking at the marker in-game you’ll be able to see the exact distance you are from that location. This is useful for landing, hunting enemies, or escaping the border.
