Paramo: New Features
Major landmarks and parts of the terrain will be assigned a new location each time you drop in so plan accordingly.
The floor is lava. Several streams of the lava flow from active volcanoes throughout Paramo will present an environmental hazard as you traverse the map. Once stepped in, the lava will deal 10 damage per second, ticking every half second.
Riding a motorcycle through the lava will deal damage to the vehicle as well as the player.
You can roam outside the bounds of the playable area and a warning will display on your screen. You will be eliminated if you fail to quickly return to the playable area.

Helicopters are your friend. Not only will the choppers be dropping you into action, but they will also distribute Care Packages. If you shoot at the helicopters long enough they will drop the cargo early.
Paramo offers some highland themed items such as new full-body camo suits, ghillie suit and backpack.
A critical response kit will let you revive a squad member in one second.
Keep an eye out for a "Secret Room Key". Because of reasons.
