The “Hundred Rhythms” armband skill descriptions are as follows:

• Guardian Armband
  • Music Barrier (Active) – This skill activates a device that generates a semi-transparent barrier to reduse part of the damage from enemy fire
  • Music Conversion (Passive) – This skill activates an interactive feature of the barrier generator. Players can use this feature to disable the barrier and recover the Energy of allies within range instead.
  • Pop Metal (Passive) – Players and allies have decreased reload time within the barrier
• Recon Knight Armband
  • Sonic Scan (Active) – Players with this ability can throw a scanning device, revealing the location of nearby enemies with marks

As part of the music festival, there will be electronic music square in Erangel, Spawn Island and Cheer Park, with a DJ stage, a music arcade machine, and a techno launcher for players to enjoy.

It can knock out an unarmored enemy with a single shot from a long distance.
• Motor Glider – Players can now traverse Erangel and Miramar from the skies in this two-seat arial vehicle that consists of a front seat for the pilot and a back seat where passengers can shoot from. To take off, the Motor Glider must gain enough speed, and then the pilot must press the ascend button to raise the nose. The Motor Glider uses fuel based upon its engine speed.
• Metro Royale Update –The new chapter “Uncover” will be available for Metro Royale mode with Metro Exodus monsters and the Tikhar Rifle removed. At the start of the new chapter, player rankings, honor levels, and inventory will be reset. New honor rewards released, including AG, permanent finishes, and other cool rewards.
