The update will also bring a new hot drop called ‘Ocean Palace’ and as the name suggests the location is submerged in water. There will be two palaces to raid, one is located near Rozhok while the other one is near Mylta’s ocean.

To get to these new POIs, players will either need to swim their way through or use the water tunnels. Getting to the place may be tricky, but the rewards are quite worth the grind, it seems. Apart from that, there are also new ruins that will require players to solve a puzzle to unlock.

Players can get 2 tridents (one from each Ocean Palace) that will allow them to transform into a water sprout for a duration and dominate their opponents. Alongside that, there will also be other gimmicks like the new ocean respawn cards that will allow a revive to the entire team. New weapons and means of travel in the form of a flying sting ray.
