The new PUBG Deston map is now available on the game’s test servers as the 18.2 patch notes introduce new mechanics, weapons, vehicles, and cards that will be available to everyone when the updated game launches on July 12.
PC players can now access Deston via the PUBG Public Test Servers, and the new map features a host of new tools and gear. The clip, a kind of automatic pulley that allows you to quickly close the sides of vertical surfaces, is exclusive to Deston, as are the security cards that allow you to open special doors with rare loot. An airboat that can travel on both land and water is another Deston exclusive, along with the new O12 shotgun that fires 12-gauge bullets rapidly.
You can now refuel your vehicles at gas stations, but enemies can attack and detonate them, so you don’t want to take too long. There are also several areas that can only be explored with a drone – fly over them and expect to find rare gear. Once again, these two features are exclusive to Deston at this time.
The map itself is 8×8, identical to Erangel and Miramar, and can handle solos, duos, or squads for the most varied battle royale. Points of interest include Ripton, the main town that lends itself well to close combat and vertical combat; a hydroelectric dam if you want a good sniping position; and an old paintball field, probably a good place to try out the O12. However, there will be bot players in Deston, so those sweet victims might not be as tough as you think.

Deston will be released in its entirety on July 13, the day after patch 18.2. The update also includes changes to the Miramar landscape, specifically the oasis area, and some rebalancing to vehicle spawn locations. The console versions of PUBG have also provided some (much needed) graphical improvements.
If you want to play Deston right now, make sure you install the public test server with the full version of PUBG. In the main lobby, go to the “Games” tab. The test server should appear in the dropdown list. Install it, then choose to use it as your main server. Deston should now be in your map rotation.
