PUBG Mobile 4.1 Update Leaks — Frosty Funland, Rocket Rides & Penguin Chests

Winter is coming — and it’s bringing penguins, rockets, and absolute mayhem to PUBG Mobile 4.1!

PUBG Mobile’s upcoming 4.1 update looks less like a patch and more like a full-on carnival. Leaks and beta footage have revealed Frosty Funland— a snow-dusted playground filled with theatrical loot, rocket-powered rides, and chaotic new mechanics that blur the line between strategy and slapstick.

Here’s a full breakdown of what’s coming, what’s changing, and what’s about to make you scream “worth it” mid-slide.

 

Penguin City: an icy playground of mayhem

Frosty Funland, or Penguin City, turns Erangel’s familiar terrain into a wintry amusement park. The design feels symmetrical and compact, centered around a grand avenue and stage area decorated with penguin statues and ice sculptures. It’s built to encourage mid-game brawls, highlight reels, and plenty of streamer-friendly antics — the kind of place where fights are as flashy as they are frantic.

The most eye-catching feature is the Penguin Snowball Launcher, stationed in the central avenue. Firing it catapults players across the map, allowing them to parachute back down with style. It’s a high-risk, high-fun mechanic — perfect for fast rotations or trolling your squadmates mid-match.

 

Penguin Chests: treasure with a theatrical twist

Among the frosty decor, the Penguin Chests are the true stars of the show. There are two main ones inside the city’s core building — one placed prominently on the main stage and another in front of a bookshelf.

Opening the stage chest triggers a delightful surprise: the curtain lifts, revealing the player who looted it to everyone nearby. It’s flashy, risky, and pure PUBG showmanship — every open becomes an event.

Beyond the main hall, more Penguin Chests appear beside the penguin statues in the central buildings on both wings of the city.

These penguin chests contain top-tier loot, including level-3 helmets, vests, and backpacks, as well as airdrop-grade weapons and the two new event items, Salted Fish Rocket Launcher & Swordfish Syringe. Each chest is a beacon for chaos, drawing squads in for flashy clashes over high-value rewards.

 

Salted Fish Rocket Launcher: explosive chaos and mid-air madness

The Salted Fish Rocket Launcher might be the most entertaining weapon PUBG Mobile has ever seen. In attack mode, it fires explosive projectiles that cause huge damage and leave slippery ice patches wherever they land. Step on them and you’ll slide helplessly, losing movement control and directional accuracy — a brilliant way to turn a clean fight into utter chaos.

Switch to mobility mode, and the launcher becomes a jet-powered ride. You can toggle between three flight states — ground glide, low-altitude shoulder flight, and full high-altitude mount. Players can fire and reload mid-flight, though steering requires swipe inputs, making it tricky to master. It’s unpredictable, hilarious, and surprisingly tactical when used for fast rotations or surprise aerial attacks.

 

Swordfish Syringe: healing meets aggression

Another highlight is the Swordfish Syringe, a throwable healing device that acts as a movement first Aid. You can use it on yourself or toss it to teammates, healing them while granting a brief speed surge lasting around 2–3 seconds.

That small window opens huge tactical possibilities — dashing out of gunfire after a heal, pushing enemies faster than they expect, or rescuing a downed ally before cover breaks. In coordinated teams, well-timed syringe tosses can flip fights in seconds.

 

Carry Loot Crates: looting on the move

A new mechanic also lets players carry enemy loot crates after a knockdown. While carrying, you move slower and can’t sprint, but the tactical options this opens are wild — you can drag valuable crates indoors to loot safely or use them as bait to draw enemies in. It’s a minor-sounding tweak that could redefine close-quarter engagements.

 

Water Town Rework: from sleepy village to bustling port

The once-quiet Water Town is getting a major overhaul in the 4.1 update. Leaks reveal it’s being transformed into a freight-linked port, replacing the old maze of flooded houses with wider waterways, docking zones, and cargo infrastructure.

The redesign gives the area a sharper tactical identity — open canals now support boat rotations, while stacked containers and cranes add new vertical combat layers. Cover is more structured, but flanking routes are riskier, forcing players to choose between quick crossings and exposed bridge fights.

 

Conclusion

Whether you’re chasing fun or grinding ranks, PUBG Mobile 4.1 promises both spectacle and substance: theatrical loot reveals, rocket-powered mobility, aggressive heals, and new tactical responsibilities around carried crates and reworked map routes. Numbers and balancing may shift before the final patch, but the core ideas point to a lively, messy, and very PUBG update.
