PUBG Deston security key locations

Where are the PUBG Deston security key locations, you might ask. Well, we're about to tell you. If you're sick of dropping into Deston, PUBG's new 8x8km map, only to find low level gear then you're going to want to get access to one of the many locked rooms hidden around this new high-rise map.

These security rooms, previously operated by Pillar - Deston's security force - are tucked away in several locations scattered around the map. These rooms contain lots of good loot, from level three armour to meta weapons, but getting into them can be a bit of a task in itself and that's because you need to track down the PUBG Deston security key locations.

These key cards allow you access into these locked rooms, but it's not as simple as heading over to the nearest spawn point and picking one up. For this job, you're going to need a drone that can get into spots inaccessible to the average player.

PUBG's new map lets you slingshot across it

It's not so long since PUBG went free-to-play, a change that belatedly recognised the battle royale genre had almost left it behind. PUBG may not have invented the idea, but it certainly popularised it. It's one of those games that reached such a critical mass of players that it's become an endless work-in-progress, near-unrecognisable from what it once was...

PUBG lead confident Deston's Bluechip Detector isn't that overpowered

PUBG: Battlegrounds is a very different game to the one we first set eyes on five years ago and its latest map, Deston, is a clear of example of that change. With high rise buildings, new traversal mechanics, and several biomes in play, Deston, which was first pitched four years ago, is the 8x8km map players have long been asking for. However, while the general reveal of the map went down well with the majority of the player base, there was one new gadget shown that had people turning their heads for the wrong reason.

In PUBG lore, every combatant is tagged with a blue chip so that they can be tracked at all times. In Deston, this is taken to a new level with the addition of a Bluechip Detector, which allows players to see the proximate location of nearby enemies. It acts a little bit like a Heartbeat Sensor, but unlike Call of Duty Warzone, this little gadget isn't a stable part of the meta - and players are understandably concerned about its inclusion.

However, studio head Dave Curd tells The Loadout that the Bluechip Detector won't be as overpowered as it looks. "We understand that the initial reveal of the Blue Chip Detector may sound and look overpowered, but there are drawbacks," he says. "Due to the delay in detection, it does not display the opponents' position in real-time and when used in urban districts, it does not show the opponent's exact vertical position, either."
