1• Frosty Funland Mode: Erangel's Icy Transformation – Full Map & POI Breakdown 
Core Mechanics: Snow overlays on Erangel (blizzards reduce visibility, ice causes slips – adapt or die!). Weather cycles add chaos: use cover during storms. Classic maps get winter touches (snowy houses, ice paths). Boatyard revamped with frosty docks for naval fights.
Star POIs:
⚪ Penguinville (Main Hot Drop): Giant penguin statue hides core loot crates (Level 3 bags, meds). Central plaza = third-party heaven. Land edges for safe loot (fish launchers spawn high here). X players report: “20+ kills in first circle!”
⚪ Penguin Towns (Smaller Spots): Scattered across map – quick loot, low risk. Penguin NPCs guard crests (tokens for rewards).
Gadget How It Works Pro Use Spawn Rate
