The map of Erangel will be seen covered in snow with several small villages being placed around Rozhok, School and Hospital which will contain loot and rewards.

It is anticipated that the update will be made available in the second week of November.

Each Mini POI (point of interest) will have Christmas Trees. Players can shoot the gifts hanging from the tree to get level 3 loot.
The introduction of auto mode for DMRs is the most important one to notice in the 2.9 update. Similar to the M164A, players will be able to use the auto mod attachment on the DMRs to use them in full auto mode. It will be interesting to see if the damage of the weapons is reduced as DMRs work on single taps and deal high amounts of damage.
