PUBG Miramar Map: vehicles, strategies, and the best start locations for the desert map

All the essential info on PUBG's desert map, Miramar.

PUBG's Miramar map is the second map available, having been announced to much excitement all the way back in late 2017.

Matching the 8 by 8 kilometer setting of Battlegrounds' original map Erangel , the Miramar map is a dusty biome with a mixture of vast plains, high story settlements, expansive desert and a coast surrounded by islands.

Here on this page, we'll be explaining everything you need to know about the map itself, including any unique Miramar vehicles and items, plus our tips and advice on the best Miramar start locations and drop zones , general map info, and our own dedicated Miramar strategies for getting the most out of the desert map's unusual terrain.

PUBG's Miramar map explained - desert map size, cover, and general info

Now that Miramar's been out in the wild for a while, we've become a much more intimate with its various quirks and and characteristics.

Here's the Miramar map itself, before we dive into specifics:

PUBG's desert map Miramar:

Layout, size, setting, and cover

As you might have guessed, the desert map Miramar is set in the desert - or at least a fictional, sandy, central American biome. There's a clear 'Western' vibe to it, with classic frontier weapons like the Winchester being introduced when it launched. We explored Miramar ourselves way back when it launched, which you can watch in the video below:

As far as its general characteristics go, the main thing to note about Miramar is that it's open, far more so than the Erangel map - although it's open in a different way to what many people seem to think.

One of the main complaints players have had about Miramar is that it feels too open because of the lack of cover. That's not necessarily true - there may be slightly less cover than Erangel, but more cover has been added in patches over time - and we think that it's more a case of Miramar feeling open because of the differences in line of sight that it has with Erangel.

The one thing that really sets the two apart is the excess of trees in Erangel. They provide pretty poor cover, but a handful of trees dotted around fairly open fields is enough to drastically alter line of sight to snipers and people scoping out the plains for crossing players.

Whilst Miramar might have plenty of cover that's actually better at protecting you than trees, such as the undulating terrain itself, it's the fact that you can see so far, and so clearly, that makes you feel so vulnerable when you're traversing it.

In terms of size, Miramar's actually the same size as Erangel, despite some believing it to be different - it's an 8x8 grid of large squares, with each large square equalling one kilometre.

PUBG update #29 is live: here's our guide to the latest PUBG patch notes for update 29 to get you up to speed. Meanwhile, we've dedicated pages on the Sanhok map , Erangel map and Miramar map and Vikendi map , too. If you're after some broader advice, our list of PUBG tips and tricks , PUBG weapon damage stats and the best weapons and best PUBG loot locations can help.

Like all maps in PUBG so far, Miramar has some unique vehicles, weapons, and features that are specific to it alone. Here's a rundown of each.

Miramar Unique vehicles:

• Pickup (Open Top) - 4 seater replacing the open UAZ
• Pickup (closed Top) - 4 seater replacing the closed UAZ
• Van - 6 seater slow-moving banter bus
• Mirado - 4 seater muscle car

Miramar Unique weapons:

• Win94 - sniper rifle, incompatible with scopes
• Sawed-Off - shotgun equipped in sidearm slot
• R45 - pistol replacing the R1895

Other Miramar features:

• Miaramar has four kinds of dynamic weather available: Day (clear), Sunrise, Rain, Fog.

As with any map in PUBG the best starting locations for a given match are always going to depend on the situation - and how you like to play.

Generally though, if you're out to win and not out to practise your combat or fool around, there are a number of things you're always going to want: loot, safety, and an easy route to the safe zone. We actually cover the best PUBG loot locations for all maps , noting loot quality, quantity, and risk-factor in a dedicated, separate guide, but here's a quick rundown of some of the best places to start.

Miramar best start locations and drop zones:

• Hacienda - This is Miramar's version of Erangel's School; a smallish complex absolutely bursting with good loot, but also almost guaranteed to have other players there too, even if the plane's path was nowhere near it and you got there as fast as you could. Survive the shootout and you'll be one of the most well-kitted in the game.
• Prison - Like Hacienda, this place has probably the best loot in the game. Unlike Hacienda, it's less popular because it's right in the corner of the map, meaning it's only viable on occasion. The best time to go here is when the plane's path is quite far away, but you can get close-ish on landing, and arrive within about a minute by vehicle. That way you normally get it to yourself, and have time to quickly book it to the safe zone after.
• Casino at Pecado - The Pecado Casino is a bit like Erangel's Hospital. A single, large-ish building filled with top-grate weapons and gear. It's very central though, like Hacienda, which means it's almost always in range of a parachute drop and therefore almost always full of people, so expect a shootout if you go.
• Ladrilleria - A lesser-known gem that I hate to tell the world about, Ladrilleria normally has enough equipment for one or two players although it varies greatly with RNG. Sometimes there'll be three M416s and level 2 armour, sometimes three Winchesters, depending on your luck. It's normally quiet if it's on the edge of parachute distance and is also close to another large town and some warehouses that you can progress to if needed.
• Military Camp - Right in the top-right of the map this place is rarely in range of the drop, and often leads you stuck right at the far end of the map to the safe zone if you get bad luck with the RNG, but it's full of great gear. The main issue is that it's so spread out that it takes a long time to actually hoover it all up, but it's great for squad play where you can afford to spread out a little yourselves.
• Minas Generales - A bit like Ladrilleria, this place is rarely dense with other players, partly because it's quite close to hot areas like Hacienda and Pecado which the masses tend to prefer. The various levels of the big machinery structures have lots of level 2-rated gear, and inside the multi-level buildings you'll find a good range of weapons. Another one good for squads as it's quite spread out again. Move into Graveyard, too, if you're still short of one or two key items.

Away from specific drop zones and landing locations, the general tips for landing and surviving on Miramar are pretty similar to those for Erangel. Here's our general advice for where to land when playing on the map:

PUBG Miramar map strategies:

• On Miramar specifically, allow some extra time for getting around the desert map. Despite patches to address the issue, vehicles are still harder to find, and off-road is much harder to navigate thanks to miles upon miles of bumpy, awkward terrain that your vehicle can get suddenly stuck on.
• As we mentioned above, whilst there's plenty of natural cover on Miramar - those humps, bumps and hills are awful for driving but great for ducking and diving between - the sight lines are very open. Avoid crossing open areas surrounded by hills, especially on foot.
• Remember the rough distance of 1-2 kilometres/squares as a guide of how far you can get from the flight path, depending on how high you open your parachute - and beware that parachuting has changed with the introduction of the Vikendi map on PC! You can now glide, by holding Control, which keeps you high in the air but moves you much slower, and you can descend much faster too by holding Shift, although that drastically reduces your distance.
• Know when to jump by lining up the wing of the plane with your marker. When it's perfectly in line (i.e. when the plane is perfectly at a right angle to your location) then jump.
• To get max distance fast, press W whilst looking straight ahead at the horizon (this has been changed from when it was better to look directly up). That means you're diving forwards, quickly, rather than down or slowly.
• You get a speed boost to your parachuting if you're at max speed (234mph) when the parachute opens. Do so by looking directly down and holding W. Remember to then hold Shift when the parachute opens too, with the new system.
• When your parachute opens, you can also still 'swing' to go further without using the glide and quick-drop controls. Do so by pressing W until you've swung all the way back, then releasing so your character swings forwards, then press W again when they're at max distance forwards in the swing, and repeat.
• One tactic is to pick a map location with a high chance of spawning vehicles, that's away from any conflict. Hop in the vehicle, and then you can drive to a loot-heavy location well across the map (away from any enemies) and give yourself a good 5-7 minutes to loot it, considering it takes 5 minutes for the first blue ring to spawn, and then a couple more for it to actually reach the white-ringed safe zone.
• Use the bar above the minimap correctly to judge how long you have to loot: the timer is how long you have until the blue starts moving; the blue bar fills up the closer the blue circle gets to the white; the white man running shows how far away you are from the circle; a greyed-out man on the far right shows you're already in the safe zone white circle.

PUBG Desert Map Officially Revealed, Here Are All The Details

Take a closer look at Miramar.

By Kevin Knezevic on December 7, 2017 at 6:09AM PST

We've known for some time that PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds will be getting a new desert map , but up until now, publisher Bluehole hadn't shared many details about it, aside from teasing a few work-in-progress screenshots of the environment. That's now changed, as the publisher has officially revealed the map and when players will have a chance to play on it.

Known as Miramar, the new arena is a far cry from PUBG's current map, the lush Erangel. It encompasses industrial areas, beach towns, arid desert land, and more, which the developers say will dramatically change how players approach the survival game. "The unique terrain and dense urban areas of Miramar will create a new Battle Royale experience where the old strategies may no longer work and new tactics are required," the development team wrote in a post on the Steam forums .

On top of the harsh landscape, Miramar is home to at least eight major cities, each of which features different kinds of buildings and constructions that will affect your strategy. Here's how the development team describes each location:

• The largest city in the region, Los Leones features ample shopping, a skyline filled with new construction, and a glorious, golden-hued City Center. Players should secure high vantage points by exploring the numerous construction sites, and loot for gear in the cavernous, abandoned commercial buildings.
• El Pozo is a city known for its large industrial and entertainment districts. Players can test themselves against all comers in the Luchador Arena, put their motorcycle skills to the test In the death bowl, or hunt in the ruins of the long dead textile factories.

Monte Nuevo

• Monte Nuevo is the picture of a town besieged. Ramshackle walls built to protect its residents now allow players ample cover to explore the well-stocked compound.

Valle del Mar

• Valle del Mar is a colorful oceanside town bisected by the De Toro bridge. To the West of the bridge is a quaint school, and to the East, a beautiful church. The key to holding this town is bridge control, as it’s the only direct route between mainland and the island.

La Cobreria

• The shipping and transport capitol of Miramar, La Cobrería’s most prominent feature is it’s enormous Rail Yard. Here, players will hunt and be hunted among the half-buried cargo of a long dead industry. Careful players should loot the schools and campuses that dot this town before attempting to hold the Yard.
• San Martín is located just west of Hacienda Del Patrón. Checkpoints and barriers have transformed this once-quiet small town into a war zone. Both sides of the town have overlooks, so careful players should scout first, before charging into town.
• Once a tourist destination featuring the largest casino in the region, Pecado continues to thrill players to this day with its mix of high-value loot and dangerous sightlines. Aggressive players will immediately loot the Arena and Casino, but savvy players should check out the 4 story hotels between them.
• Chumacera is the husk of Miramar’s once thriving textile industry. Long abandoned factories overlook a main road lined with residential and commercial buildings. Verticality in both the buildings and terrain make this town an exciting location to loot--high risk, high opportunity!

Miramar will also feature a new vehicle, a retro-looking pickup truck that will be exclusive to the map. Players will also be able to find a new weapon, the Win94, which will likewise appear exclusively in Miramar as a world spawn.

Players will have a chance to compete on Miramar during the "final test round" before PUBG's version 1.0 release. That is slated to launch before the end of December, so you should be able to try the anticipated new map sometime this month. PUBG will also release in early access on Xbox One via the Xbox Game Preview program next week, on December 12.

Our best tips for PUBG’s new desert map, Miramar

Be better, faster

by Chris Carter

PUBG originally shipped with just one map, Erangel. Designed as a lush island filled with various pieces of terrain and elevation levels, it’s a good starter zone for players to get their bearings.

Now you’ll have to deal with the harsh deserts of Miramar, which is being cycled into play randomly as of this week. Here are some tips to help you acclimate.

The more remote the location, the better

Despite the dire nature of the desert biome, Miramar has a large amount of cities that provide densely packed buildings. It stands to reason that, while these locations have a lot of goodies, they’re also going to be filled to the brim with other players looking to gun you down. Instead of blindly floating into these areas, it’s important to recognize that you have options.

The first thing you’re going to want to do before dropping into Miramar is take a look at the map. Zoom in and enhance it. OK, enhance again. See those white dots? Those are going to be your ideal drop spots.

Just like in Erangel, most players are going to be gravitating toward the cities, but there’s actually a goldmine of locations to loot from. They’re just more spread out, much like the tiny shacks in the original map but even more visible from above. You might gain access to a plain looking farmhouse only to find that it’s actually broken up into five or more different rooms, all with goodies to grab.

Remember to always close doors behind you so other players aren’t aware that you’re inside or that you’ve been to a particular location.

Oh hey, you can vault now

Along with the Miramar update comes a brand new mechanic: vaulting. Although you can easily take this one for granted as it’s standard in most shooters, it’s a great way to surprise players and take advantage of the map.

To vault over something, simply press the jump button and move toward it. Your character will pull up and onto a windowsill or onto a roof. This is incredibly useful for climbing to higher ground.

Players can get on top of buildings easily by parachuting onto them in any given city. It’s also possible to leap up awnings (like the ones over apartment buildings) and climb a structure indirectly. This is imperative for sneak attacks, as your opponents will expect you to enter buildings traditionally by coming through the front door or up a flight of stairs.

Buildings are a more important resource than before

Because of how dangerous the open air is in Miramar, staying inside of buildings within the PUBG safe zone is a good way to stay alive longer.

In Miramar, buildings are generally more intricate, which is good for myriad reasons. The most obvious bonus is that you’ll find more loot when coming across them, but because of the labyrinthine nature of large structures and the vaulting system, it’s easier to escape death traps. Higher points allow for more precise sniping perches, but they also open up your options when you need to bail. Escaping out of a window, even if you fall quite a ways and take damage, can save your life.

You can also use the multiple hotel room-esque doors to your advantage. If a building has a lot of rooms, you can close all but one as a way to bait an opponent into a trap. They may throw and waste a grenade trying to see if someone is in there or run in guns blazing. That’s your chance to spring your trap from behind and take them out while they’re vulnerable.

Give this strategy a try in the San Martin high-rise apartment buildings located in the center of the map.

You can forge up hills

Even if a hill looks insurmountably large PUBG has a very forgiving physics system.

Sometimes hills will seem too vertical to climb, but you can run up them in almost all cases. That might not be the best option depending on what level of cover that area provides, but if you need to get somewhere quickly, jogging up to a high point and surveying the zone for helpful tools (like vehicles) can be a great idea.

Remember that PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has a prone button (Z on PC or B on Xbox). Using it is key to staying alive once you reach the summit, as it’s much easier to spot players in the bright desert sun.

Duck in and out of the rare cover that’s available

Although there are several cities with plenty of places to hide (Miramar is a desert after all), you need to be aware that enemies can see you whenever you’re running from location to location.

It might seem like something out of a cartoon, but keeping your presence hidden by running behind something as low-key as a haystack might save your life. As survival is paramount, the less people that know you’re around, the better. Even if something doesn’t provide direct cover, if you’re in a bad situation and lacking firepower, the enemy can’t kill you if they aren’t aware of you.

Use this principle when retreating, too. If someone is trying to hit you from a very long range with a rifle like an M16A4 early in the game, odds are they don’t have a lot of ammo. While running away, try to put obstacles between you and the shooter.

The northwest corner is an unmarked gem

The innocuous Ruins aren’t often in the way of PUBG ’s initial flight paths or safe zones, but if you can make your way up there you can pick up a ton of gear without contention.

Although gear dumps are mostly reserved for indoor areas, there are exceptions. Not only is the ruin location near an array of buildings like a church and a number of residential plots, but it’s also a hotbed for weapons and armor, with loot strewn about.

Keep in mind that not only is this tough to get to at the start, but it’s almost never near the first safe zone circle (where you eventually need to be) because of how close it is to the perimeter of Miramar. That shouldn’t be too much of a problem because there is usually first-aid in the ruins that will allow you to heal through the blue wall’s damage, or a vehicle in a nearby area that you can use to get to a safe zone.

Speaking of vehicles, get used to identifying useless ones immediately — the two most common duds are tractors and the generic rusted sedan.

Height is king, but watch your back

Height was important on Erangel, but Miramar offers even more opportunities to take higher ground in the more barren parts of the map. With the right weaponry, you can rule above your opponents, but you want to make sure your tail is covered.

When entering any elevated area, take note of your surroundings. Wherever an enemy can feasibly get a line of sight, you need to exit it or at the very least, be aware of it. You can easily swing your camera around and watch your six with a third-person view, but it’s tough to really tell what’s going on if you aren’t looking at a hill above you.

Learn to use the blue wall to get an extra safety cushion, but remember that opponents can easily survive it for minutes at a time with the right first-aid items. Finding a large mountain that juts out and has no other higher points around it is an ideal location to camp. The only way anyone is getting a clear shot on you is if they come up from behind, which you can constantly scan with your camera.

The Latest ⚡️

Playerunknown's Battegrounds reveals desert map's name and town details

Welcome to Miramar

After months of teases and screenshots , the curtain has finally been pulled back on Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds ’ desert map, which will be joining the island when Plunkbat leaves early access. It will be in the 1.0 test servers before that, however. It’s got a name now, too! I mean, we’re all going to keep calling it the desert map, probably, but its proper name is Miramar, which means “sea-view”. Lovely!

PUBG Corp is still holding back a wee bit -- after all, discovering the ins and outs of the maps for yourself makes exploring them arguably more rewarding -- but we’ve now got more screenshots to gawk at and some details about the settlements and landmarks. You can check out the descriptions of all the revealed landmarks here , but I’ve also picked out a few highlights below. For starters, here's the map with its final names now in place - click to make it bigger:

Los Leones is Miramar’s largest city and sports a mix of construction sites that dominate the skyline, a flashy city centre and lots of places to hole up and do a spot of sniping. I usually stay out of cities, but I’ve been looking to up my sniping game, and Los Leones sounds like just the place to do it.

Far to the north west of Los Leones lies El Pozo, which looks like the second-largest settlement on the map. It used to be popular because of its industrial and entertainment districts, and I suppose it could be again, what with players able to duke it out in the luchador arena or ride around on their motorbikes in the death bowl. A bit of silliness in this otherwise pretty straight-faced game is very welcome.

Valle del Mar is situated in the south east and connects the mainland to the small island below it. The town straddles the river, with a bridge connecting the north and south, and multiple roads leading to it. Clearly this is going to be ambush central. I’ve been meaning to take advantage of bridges more, instead of keeping away from them, so I’ll undoubtedly be heading down there the first chance I get.

There are casinos, factories, rail yards and mountains, too, and just so many places that look like the perfect spot to be killed. I am looking forward to many, many deaths as I try to get the lay of the land. PUBG Corp warns that old strategies might not work in Miramar, but the joke’s on them: I don’t have any strategies.

Miramar isn’t quite ready yet, but we’ll finally be able to explore the desert when it’s added to the 1.0 test servers. Given the impending launch, that should be very soon. In the meantime, soak up the sights with these new screenshots.

Set Design Specifications

Key content: Avoid causing confusion with in-game items, disrupting the game's balance, and using designs that are easily spotted.

Set designs should not include backpacks with large capacities. Weapons and weapon equipment (such as ammo, grenades, knives, etc.) cannot be used.

To avoid causing confusion, the top is refrained from having a design that is too similar to the vest in the game.

To avoid blending into the surroundings and affecting the balance of the game, designs for special outfits and sets with plant decorations must have distinctive colors.

If earrings are included, they may not exceed 1/3 the size of the ear. If the design has long hair, ensure that the hair does not clip through the outfit or backpack.

The height of the headpiece should remain within the blue range to avoid hitting the roofs of vehicles.
