What dynamic environmental event occurs on the map Paramo in PUBG?

The dynamic environmental event on PUBG’s Paramo is a volcanic eruption. The map’s active volcano sends molten lava across the landscape, turning parts of the route into dangerous environmental hazards.

Paramo was introduced in PUBG Season 9 in October 2020 as the game’s first dynamic map. Its major landmarks and terrain could shift between matches, so players could not rely on exactly the same town layout or rotation every time they landed.

The volcanic feature is easy to confuse with PUBG’s Red Zone, which is a separate bombardment mechanic found on other maps. On Paramo, lava itself damages players and vehicles, while the volcano and changing terrain help define the map’s identity. The map is set in the highlands of South America and measures roughly 3 by 3 kilometers.
