PUBG Mobile Rondo Map Guide: Best loot locations and strategies

PUBG Mobile never fails to amaze us with its new additions to the game. With every version update, they always bring something new and interesting for the players. Recently, PUBG Mobile has introduced a new Battle Royale map named Rondo. It is set to be added as a part of the 3.7-anniversary update of the game in March 2025.

The new Rondo map offers us a thrilling, diverse terrain with an urban touch, filled with high-stakes battles and loot locations. This map is different from other Battle Royale maps in PUBG Mobile thanks to its unique blend of modern and old architecture. In this article, we are going to discuss the best loot locations, spawns, rotations, and features for the new Rondo map in PUBG Mobile.

PUBG Mobile Rondo Map Overview

Rondo is the first 8KM x 8KM map update since the launch of PUBG Mobile, where traditional old and modern aesthetics blend seamlessly. Amidst this sprawling mix of natural and urban landscapes, you can stick to familiar strategies or draw inspiration from the circumstances to create fresh strategies.

Rondo’s some of the most interesting features are its massive size and the fast-paced battles. Rondo is filled with diverse content, offering a wide range of entertainment. It offers both sunny and sunset weather.

Just like any other full-fledged Battle Royale map, it can accommodate 100 players simultaneously. The main locations of Rondo, which are Jadena City, Rin Jiang, Yu Lin, and Lo Hua Xing are massively inspired by the many big Asian cities.

Best new features of Rondo map in PUBG Mobile

This new Battle Royale map has many unique features that will work as a differentiator in the battle of maps. Some of these features are discussed below:

1. Destructible Terrain

If you are stuck in an open field with no proper hardcover, now you can protect yourself by destroying the terrain. You can destroy terrains like soil, and mud with pickaxes, grenades, and vehicle explosions. Remember that you cannot destroy concrete, cement, and stone.

2. Emergency Cover Flare

One of the best features of Rondo is the Emergency Cover Flare Gun. You can use this weapon to summon two giant triangular bunkers from the sky to provide cover. The bunkers can deal damage when they impact the ground, be careful with that.

3. New Weapon-JS9 Submachine Gun

JS9 is a Rondo-exclusive modernized submachine gun. It has a stock-less hassle-free design. This new weapon uses 9MM ammo, features stable recoil, and delivers solid damage in the close-mid range. The JS9 does not require any extensive familiarity to use and is therefore a very accessible weapon.

4. EMP Zone

The Electromagnetic Pulse or EMP Zone is a very strategic feature in the Rondo map. Like the Red Zone, it creates an Electromagnetic Field where you can not aim down sights. Even Scopes picked up in the zone are subject to this effect. You can not use vehicles that have engines in this zone. Almost all the electronic items such as the Markets, Recall Towers, and Signal Jammer Backpacks are useless in this EMP Zone.

5. Escalators

This new feature makes getting around much easier and faster than walking. You can use them to make a quick escape or to pursue enemies. When used wisely, it reshapes the strategic landscape of the city center.

Best Loot Locations in PUBG Mobile Rondo Map

The Rondo map currently has six main drop locations where you can get a good amount of loot for your team. These places are going to be the most popular locations on the map so you should expect a high number of enemies here. The locations are:

1. Jaden City

Jaden City is a bustling place located in the southeast of Rondo. This location consists of high-rise buildings, dazzling neon signs, stunning night views, and bridges stretching across the city. It can be a great drop location for you and your team.

2. Stadium

As you can guess from the name, the Stadium is a multi-purpose sports center where the atmosphere is as intense as a battleground. It hosts a variety of sports tournaments and occasional concerts.

3. Rin Jiang

It is located at the southern end of Rondo. Rin Jiang’s one of the most popular attractions is a floating restaurant. It also has luxurious waterfront residences, along with docks for ships to anchor. You can visit here with your squad to get some easy loot.

4. Tin Long Garden

The Tin Long Garden is heavily inspired by Japanese architecture. The scenery here is straight out of a martial arts fantasy novel. This place has towering stone mountains and graceful waterfalls which create a breathtaking, picturesque atmosphere.

5. Yu Lin

Yu Lin is quite different from the other cities of Rondo. Lush, green trees surround the buildings of this area, embodying the essence of the eastern beauty. The most eye-catching feature of this location is the stunning, tranquil ponds that provide a timeless yet traditional charm.

6. NEOX Factory

It is a modern car factory responsible for the manufacturing of the latest and updated vehicles of Rondo. We can see permanent electric vehicles on the Rondo map thanks to this factory.
