What do we know about Karakin?

Karakin is the smallest map among all, as it is a 2x2km island off the coast of North Africa. It is similar to the desert map Miramar, but is much more fast-paced. Due to its small size, the map only features 64 players instead of the usual 100.

To add to that, the map includes new features like Smuggle Tunnels, Sticky Bombs, Dark Zones/Purple Zone and more, which will make it more challenging for the players.
