In the Battle Royale Genre, the most focused aspect for development is probably the maps. Unlike the usual shooters, Free Fire battle royale maps are massive and can provide a real sense of a “battlefield”, which the usual “Dust” style of a compound just cannot be compared. In this article, we would analyze the map design of Bermuda and the various locations of the Free Fire Bermuda Map in real life.

1 – What are the features of Free Fire Bermuda map?

As Free Fire has only half of PUBG Mobile’s player count for every match, the size of Free Fire’s Bermuda island is obviously smaller, with some estimated it to be at only half of PUBG’s infamous Erangel, at 4x4 kilometers. The small size would shorten the game’s length so that players can actually find each other instead of just wandering around. This design is tied to Free Fire’s gameplay changes from the original PUBG formula, which also comes with lighter graphics and system requirements.

About what real-life location Free Fire’s Bermuda map was designed after… well, it is a mishmash hybrid of various places on the planet. The only concrete thing that can be said about it is the general location – the island is in Tropical climate. This correlates to either the Pacific, Southeast Asia, or Latin America. With Free Fire made by Garena, a Singapore based company, Bermuda is probably an attempt to go with something they are familiar with. The Bermuda name is a dead giveaway as well - with Bermuda being a region in Central America.

The Bermuda map is the most popular and iconic out of the three maps available in the game. Kalahari was not as well received by fans due to its sniper friendly terrains and bigger size, while Purgatory was remade and removed from the game before for being just “plain uninteresting”. We are probably going to have to stick with the Bermuda map for awhile.

Below are the top 8 locations on the Bermuda map with a real-life version

The Bridge that connects Cape Town and Sentosa

This is a pretty classic Bridge design that can be found in various towns of the USA.

Shipyard

The shipyard in Bermuda is also pretty generic as well - it is a prime example for a middle/small sized shipyard in any country. The Free Fire version is an Abandoned one, of course.

The biggest feature of the Shipyard is probably that structure by which they can repair ships with.

Bullseye

This location is a generic shooting range - a rather big one at that. This is pretty random, as countries in the region all banned guns.

This type of design is called an outdoor shooting range, which is pretty common in the United States.

Graveyard

The graveyard is another pretty out of place building in Bermuda, as you would probably only be able to find buildings like this in Europe (just look at all those chimneys, which are not needed at all in such a hot region like Bermuda).

The graveyard house is probably an American/Victorian style building, with way too many chimneys.

The farmhouse behind graveyard

This farmhouse with giants hay of bale is based on the traditional farms in Europe and America, which is another weird choice. These fields are growing wheat, which is not really compatible to this region's weather.

Fields like this one can be found in Western countries

Clocktower

Another western-style building, which is usually either a church or government place in Europe.

At this point, they are probably just taken random cool places in the world and port them into the game. That type of clocktower bulding can only be found in population centers, not on a single island in the middle of nowhere.

Rim Nam Village

Rim Nam Village is a weird place - while it is based on a famous resort location, the Maldives, the buildings and structure on the place is rather ugly.

They are going to remove this village in Bermuda 2.0 and replace it with a real fishing town.

Hangar

Hangar is based on small airports that are usually part of a resort town.

These small airports with only one runway would not get many visits per year. Most of the flights would be for leisure.

3 – Verdict

Overall, Garena has done a pretty decent job in creating a unique map for Free Fire players to battle on - however, it could definitely be much better, with more themed locations. PUBG Maps is much better in this regard, as the locations on maps of PUBG can only be found in similar regions in the world, not everywhere like Free Fire. With the Bermuda 2.0 update, it is likely that the map would be thematically improved.
