The frozen tundra of Erangel holds more than just holiday cheer. Since its introduction in PUBG Mobile's version 3.5 update, the Icemire Frontier theme mode has redefined winter battle royale with Norse-inspired mystique, ancient beasts, and high-stakes treasure hunts. Even now, players drop into Frostheim ready to face icy perils and claim legendary rewards. Here's how to dominate every corner of this frostbitten battlefield.

Exploring Frostheim Village

At the heart of the Icemire Frontier lies Frostheim, a settlement frozen in time. Upon first landing here, you automatically receive a respawn card—but don’t expect a second chance once the entire village is cleared. The Chieftain’s building dominates the center, while the Beast Warden’s keep anchors the taming grounds nearby. Beneath the Chieftain’s stronghold, the ritual hall offers rich supplies, yet many paths are blocked by thick ice walls you can shatter with weapons. A quirky touch: you can transform into a snowball to roll silently through the village, catching enemies off-guard.

Feature-Rich Locations and Mechanics

Frostborne Dragon Statue and the Sanctuary

Sealed ice crystals surround the Frostborne Dragon statue at the village center. During a match, the seal breaks open, revealing a sanctuary packed with high-tier loot. Squads who control this area often walk away with level 3 gear and rare weapons before the final circles.

Magic Crystal Mines

Scattered across the surface, these mines hold underground caves hidden behind destructible ice walls. Inside, Magic Crystal Crates yield top-tier equipment. The entrance is often contested, so approach with a full squad and plenty of ammunition.

Frostfire Altar: Exclusive Weapons

At the Frostfire Altar, you can grab two event-exclusive weapons that change how fights play out:

  • Frostsoul Spear: Use it for rapid dashes and create a slowing field at the landing spot—perfect for chasing or escaping.

  • Frostsoul Warhammer: A legendary Viking weapon. Charge it up to summon ice walls of different sizes, blocking bullets or sealing off doorways.

New Vehicles: Mammoth and Sabertooth Tiger

Mobility in the Icemire Frontier gets a prehistoric upgrade. These vehicles aren’t just for traveling; they bring unique combat dynamics.

Vehicle Capacity Key Traits
Mammoth 4 players Weak points on legs; takes 5 seconds to recover if knocked down. Great for bulldozing through enemy lines but vulnerable to coordinated fire.
Sabertooth Tiger 2 players Allows weapon use while mounted, similar to horses in previous themes. Boasts a powerful jump ability for scaling cliffs and dodging danger.

Dragon Horn and the Frostborne Dragon’s Lair

Dragon Horns spawn randomly around the map. Activate one to open an ice portal straight to the Frostborne Dragon’s lair. These portals also appear spontaneously, offering a shortcut to intense encounters. Only three squads (12 players maximum) can enter the lair at once, so expect fierce competition.

The Frostborne Dragon is a dual-threat boss that attacks from the air and stomps on the ground. Defeating it rewards a special crate brimming with supplies, plus the Dragon Blood consumable. Drinking Dragon Blood fully restores health and energy, giving your squad a critical second wind in the late game.

PMGC Stage and Other Additions

Spawn Island now features a dance stage celebrating the PUBG Mobile Global Championship, complete with themed items scattered across the map. Meanwhile, gas stations have been turned into vehicle repair stops. You can refill health, fuel, and fix damaged tires—a game changer for squads using vehicles aggressively.

A new smoke grenade launcher joins the arsenal, allowing you to pop instant smoke screens for revives or rotations. Alongside the returning AED self-revive kit, survival options have never been more diverse. The Metro Royal and World of Wonder modes also received Icemire-themed updates, including breakable objects in custom maps.

Players embraced the Icemire Frontier mode for its blend of high-risk PvE encounters and the seasonal atmosphere it brought to Erangel. Whether you’re hunting the Frostborne Dragon or riding a mammoth through Frostheim, this frozen adventure remains a highlight of PUBG Mobile’s evolving battleground.
