PUBG EVENTS UNTIL 2023

There was the information about all PUBG events that were in the past until 2023. The guide is no longer updated, thanks for supporting it.

What is "Event" actually?

It is a system in PUBG. You can think of the Event Mode as a periodically changing preset Custom Game where developers will be trying new things and experimenting with different game parameters.

Using the Event Mode, players will be able to have Battle Royale experiences otherwise not available in the public matches. But it’s designed to be much more than just a preset Custom Game, as Event Mode will feature new content, much of it available in the game only for a limited time.

Developers about this mode:

Players,
The first iteration of the Event Mode will be a very simple one, as the system was only recently put together and we need to test the basics first.

This week you will be able to play with up to 8 players in a team and the rifle drop rate will be doubled. We know it’s not a huge change from the public matches but as mentioned above, this is just to get things rolling. The future of the Event Mode holds exciting things!

Please keep in mind that the first iteration will only feature TPP on Erangel to ensure effective matchmaking. Anyone who owns a copy of PUBG can enjoy the Event Mode. To play in the Event Mode, please use the relevant UI in the bottom left of the main menu

FLARE GUN - PUBLIC BETA AND MID-AUTUMN FESTIVAL EVENTS

---------------------------------FLARE GUN BETA TEST---------------------------------------

Today there is something a little different for this week’s event mode. We’ve been gathering your feedback on the Flare Gun over the course of a few events and we’re finally ready to give it a proper test in a real environment to see if it fits within the normal PUBG atmosphere and make sure everything works properly. As this is a beta test, the event will run for 10 days instead of the normal weekend duration.

This event mode will mimic normal squad games, except that there will be a rare chance for the Flare Gun to spawn alongside normal loot. The goal here is to basically beta test the Flare Gun as normal PUBG loot with the intention to add it as a rare drop to normal games once the test concludes.

CRASH CARNAGE

Road rage is the theme of this week’s event mode where fuel and fire are king. In Crash Carnage, no firearms spawn so you’ll need to focus on melee weapons, throwables, and of course your driving skills to carry your duo to that final circle. Circles move considerably faster in this event, so loot quick, grab a vehicle, and crash your way to road warrior glory.

PUBG LABS ARE INTRODUCED

PUBG LABS is a "rebranding" for PUBG EVENT MODE. Nothing changes, just the name and the way to enter new gamemodes.

NOTES WHEN PLAYING IN LABS

- LABS games do not provide BP or XP for gameplay rewards.
- LABS gameplay will not be applied to Career.
- LABS gameplay will not count for your Survivor Pass missions.
- LABS games do not support replay.

LABS: MOTOR GLIDER

The Motor Glider is available in PUBG Labs on Dec 19 11pm PST – Dec 22 11pm PST.

You’ve been hittin’ the roads on the battlegrounds pretty hard, but where we’re going, we don’t need roads. Final boarding call for the Motor Glider mode only available for a limited time. Take to the air in the new Motor Glider and get the drop on enemy squads wherever they are.

The Motor Glider can transport you and a squadmate in the air and get you to the far side of the circle in no time. To take off, you’ll need to get the speed up to 70km/h (so not quite the 88 miles per hour you’d need for time travel) and once you’re moving you can use sticky throttle to lock in your forward acceleration. Be careful around the rotor or you’ll learn who wins in a faceoff between your face and a mower.

While in the air, using the high ground to their advantage, passengers can rain shots and molotovs. Only the engine can be destroyed with wings taking less damage compared to the body, but the tires can’t be damaged – so you’ll be able to keep it moving even after your engine is disabled by gliding and landing.

PUBG Labs is a space where we introduce experimental in-game features to you, the community, and collect your feedback. The most important takeaway from PUBG Labs is your valuable opinions!

Please feel free to let our Community Managers know about what you think of your experience on whichever social platform you prefer, just tag us @PUBG. The Motor Glider is available in PUBG Labs on Dec 19 11pm PST – Dec 22 11pm PST.

Mechanics

“Fly like an Eagle.”

- Motor Glider has two seats; one for pilot and one for passenger who can shoot and use any weapon from the backseat
- Motor Glider will be spawned around the map
- To takeoff, you must gain the necessary speed of 65 km/h then pitch up with the S key.
- You’ll start to take off automatically once you hit 70 km/h.
- Motor Glider’s fuel consumption rate is tied to the engine speed – the more throttle you apply, the faster you will run out of gas.
- There’s no maximum altitude you can reach, the sky is the limit! But engine will start losing power the higher the altitude you are at.
Controls:
- Use W/S keys to control the pitch and A/D to control the roll of the aircraft
- Adjust the throttle by holding Left Shift and Left Ctrl keys
- Hold Spacebar when on the ground to engage handbrake


Period: Dec 19 11pm PST – Dec 22 11pm PST / Dec 20 8am CET – Dec 23 8am CET
- Perspective: TPP/FPP
- Mode: Squad
- Map: Erangel, Miramar
- Maximum Player: 80
- How to join: Click the banner on the left bottom above the ‘START’ button

FANTASY BATTLE ROYALE

Fantasy Battle Royale will be available as an event mode for a limited time from April 1st, 00:00 PDT ~ April 7th, 1159 PDT / April 1st, 0700 UTC ~ April 8th, 0659.

April Fools’ Day is a long-celebrated tradition in the gaming world. Whether through silly videos, fake patch notes, or even full blown in-game events, it’s the time of year where teams can go a little crazy and try something completely different— and it doesn’t get much more different for us than Fantasy Battle Royale. To play, click on the Fantasy Battle Royale banner in main lobby to enter the special Fantasy BR lobby.

Basic Rules

• Fantasy BR takes place on the Dragon’s Isle (Erangel)
  
• TPP only, 20 Squads of 4 (maximum of 80 players per match)
  
• Fantasy BR does not support 1 man or 3 man squad but will automatically find suitable companions for you
  
• Friendly fire is disabled (unless we’re talking the mendingstar and heal bomb, which are the friendliest fire of all)
  
• Fantasy BR does not grant XP rewards but BP is earned based on your total gameplay time
  
• Fantasy BR matches don’t count towards the Survivor Pass. However, there are separate Fantasy BR exclusive missions
  
• Complete Fantasy BR exclusive missions to earn special Fantasy BR mode rewards
  
• Please refer to the 'Fantasy Battle Royale Exclusive Systems' section for more details

Class Selection & Starting Out

After matchmaking completes, players will be asked to select a class to play before flying to the Dragon’s Isle
• The Class select screen is automatically shown and may be brought back up using the F8 key
• There are no class limits, so get creative with your party! (Just remember you’ll be sharing loot if you double, triple, or quadruple up on classes!)

First circle will be displayed before you jump
• Blue Zone will move faster and deal more damage in Fantasy BR than in normal matches! Be careful!

Fantasy Battle Royale Classes

Barbarian
"I would like to RAGE"

The fearsome Barbarian is a melee combatant with high HP who uses his rage to increase his movement speed. Swinging his Kick Ash Longsword in a wide arc in front of them, they gain additional movement speed with each successful attack on an enemy.

Barbarians also produce Mega Energy Drinks, which can be used to recover large amounts of HP over time. Although he doesn’t have any other special attacks or skills, his fast movement speed makes him the best suited to chase down squishy opponents and show them the business end of his weapon.

Ranger
"They’re taking the Hobbits to Erangel!"

The Ranger is a long-ranged sniper equipped with the deadly 'Dragonslayer' crossbow, capable of firing multiple shots in succession. With a long range and high attack damage, she is a formidable opponent, other than her rather low amount of HP.

Ranger’s utilize stealth to emit no movement sounds, making them the perfect sneak attack class. The Ranger brings utility to the fight as well with their Flash Powder grenades that temporarily blinds enemies and decreases the damage allies receive.

Wizard
“What manner of man are you that can summon up fire without flint or tinder?”

Wizards are heavy damage dealers who rain down fire on groups of enemies at once. Whether firing 2 consecutive blasts from their wands, dropping a powerful Fireball spell, or calling meteor showers from the sky, Wizards always have something fiery and explosive to pull out of their arsenal.

Keep your allies close though, as the Wizard has the lowest HP of any class and make a delightful squishing sound that Barbarians find irresistible.

Paladin
“I can do this all day.”

The Paladin is the key healing class in Fantasy Battle Royale. Healing allies with their Mendingstar and blocking incoming attacks with their Brooklyn Shield, the Paladin is right at home protecting the weak.

The Paladin’s Mendingstar serves two functions; healing allies it strikes or dealing damage to and slowing down enemies. The Paladin’s Shield Charge can also knock away enemies who get too close to his party.

Paladins also regularly produce First Aid Kits that can be given to allies or toss a 'Heal Bomb' to create an AoE healing zone, but be warned that this zone can also heal enemies!

One slight hitch though, maybe it’s because of their heavy armor or the fact that they have no free hands, but Paladins cannot ledge grab and may have to find more creative ways to keep up with their team.

Ye Olde Chicken Dinner

• Just like traditional Battle Royale, the last surviving squad is the winner

Items

• Fantasy BR has its own set of world spawn items, which mostly include crafting materials
• No weapons, ammo, throwables, boosts, or equipment will spawn
• Bandages will still spawn in the world

Vehicles

• Only the Noble Steed (motorcycle) and Dragon Wagon (UAZ) spawn in Fantasy BR
• Vehicles are slower and have lower durability than in normal BR to keep fights more focused on class warfare

Care Packages

• Care Packages are dropped more often in Fantasy BR and are be marked on the map for all players
• Care Packages can contain the Zircon, a powerful gem used to upgrade your gear to Lv.5
• Using the interaction key (F) on Care Packages grants a temporary invincibility buff
*The Buff lasts for 30 seconds, making you immune to all damage*

Fantasy Battle Royale Exclusive Systems

Character Equipment

LABS: HARDCORE BR

First off, thank you for all your great feedback on our last LABS offering. We’re thrilled that so many of you enjoyed Arena mode and the tactical team fun it provided. For our next LABS mode, we’re trying something a little more hardcore.

Introducing, Hardcore BR. PUBG Battleroyale thrives on its realism, but still provides several types of helpful UI to help you towards your chicken dinner. Hardcore BR tests your true mettle by removing much of the UI you’d normally rely on from the game.

In Hardcore BR, you and your squad will take to the frozen fields of Vikendi. Your compass, minimap, crosshair, and status ui (health, boost bar, equipment status, etc), as well as bluezone warnings will all be disabled. You will still be able to see the kill feed, remaining players, team UI, and parachute related UI.

We hope Hardcore BR provides a fun and challenging new experience, where teams are forced to rely on alternative methods of communication to track down and eliminate enemies. Teamwork and communication will be absolutely essential here.

We’re excited to see how you all adapt to this challenging way to play and look forward to hearing your feedback. Check out all the details below and get ready for some Hardcore BR!

Hardcore BR service schedule

2020-11-05 14:00 KST ~ 2020-11-09 16:00 KST / 2020-11-05 05:00 UTC ~ 2020-11-09 07:00 UTC
Hardcore BR will be available for both PC/Console.

LABS: ARENA MODE

We're thrilled to see so many of you enjoying the new Arena Mode! Based on your response, we have decided to expand Arena Mode's schedule to allow more time for playing and testing it out.

Arena Mode is now available non-stop until October 8.

With this extension, we hope you all really dive in and get a good feel for it. We're looking forward to your feedback! Thank you and we hope you enjoy the Arena!

This week we’re bringing you something new that combines intense PUBG gunplay with the tactics of an arena shooter. We call this LABS experiment Arena Mode.

Arena Mode is a 64 person, squad-based match that drops you into one of several sectioned-off zones on Erangel, Miramar, or Sanhok. You’ll fight it out with up to two other squads to claim victory in your arena. Should you lose, your team will lose one of its 3 chances, which eliminates you once they’re gone. Claim victory, and move onto the next round with a stronger position than those who failed. When 3 or fewer squads remain, they’ll enter a Sudden Death arena where the winner takes all, regardless of how many chances you have left.

Arena mode has some other differences from a normal match as well. The biggest of which is that weapons do not spawn in the world. Instead, you will need to use currency that you earn by eliminating other players to purchase your arsenal through the Loadout menu (PC: L key, Console: Map key(System menu/Touch pad) by default). Knocked allies can also be revived in 5 seconds, which is important for maintaining your advantage in such small, intense fights.

Surviving the Arena means teamwork and smart tactical decisions. From matching your loadout to the terrain you’re in, to watching each other’s backs until you’ve got eyes on your enemies, to coordinating your attack, Arena Mode is sure to test your teamwork and communication skills.

Here’s a quick breakdown of all the rules:

Rules

- In each round, 2-3 squads will dive into a random, sectioned-off area.
- Each squad starts with 3 chances and will be eliminated once those chances are lost.
- When 3 or fewer squads remain, they are placed into a sudden death round where the winner takes the chicken, regardless of how many chances each squad has left.
- There are no world spawn weapons. You will earn points during each round that can be used to purchase weapons from the Loadout menu (PC: L key, Console: Map key(System menu/Touch pad)).
- Other items, such as attachments, helmets and vests, still spawn across the map.

Game Settings

- 64 players (16 squads)
- Erangel, Miramar, and Sanhok
- Squadmate revival time: 5 seconds
- Adjusted bluezone speed for more intense gameplay
- Your team will have 30 seconds to loot upon winning your Arena
- Observer Mode Enabled once your team has won an arena or been killed

Arena Mode will be available in LABS over 2 weeks, so make sure to grab your squad and drop in while it’s available.

PC & Console
September 24 (14:00 KST) ~ October 8 (16:00 KST)

LABS: THERMAL SCOPE MODE

Our first LABS experiment of the year is coming soon! To kick things off, we’re dropping a new attachment into the game and bringing back a special weather setting to show it off in! Introducing the Thermal Scope!

Unlike existing telescopic sights, the Thermal Scope detects infrared rays emitted by objects and makes them stand out against their backgrounds. Thanks to this new equipment, players are now able to better detect enemies obscured by darkness, smoke, or trees and bushes, which can be difficult with the existing scopes.

Since the Thermal Scope is best utilized in areas of low light, we’re bringing back Moonlight Mode on Vikendi for this test! Full details on the mode can be found below.

LABS: THERMAL SCOPE MODE

- The new Thermal Scope will be world-spawned loot.



- The Thermal Scope uses heat signatures to help you find obscured enemies more easily.
- This includes enemies hiding in smoke, darkness, brush, etc.

SERVICE SCHEDULE

- January 7, 14:00 KST – January 11, 16:00 KST / January 7, 05:00 UTC – January 11, 07:00 UTC
- LABS: Thermal Scope Mode will be available for both PC/Console during the service schedule stated above.

SETTINGS

- Vikendi – Moonlight
- BR Rules of the existing world will be applied.
- FPP or TPP, Squad mode
- 1-man Squad mode is also available.
- Maximum number of players: 100
- If a session lacks players after a certain amount of time, it will start to fill remaining slots with bots.

LABS: ZONE TAG

A whole new way to play PUBG is coming to LABS!

In Zone Tag, players will compete to gain and keep possession of a ball that spawns into the match. From this point on, the entire blue zone will center on the player holding the ball, bathing them in a pillar of light and following them until they are knocked and the ball is dropped. All players in that squad also benefit from an unlimited boost gauge! If not held by any player, the ball will seek an eligible target nearby or begin making its way towards Pochinki in the center of the map, dragging the Blue Zone with it until it is picked up again.

This mode is meant to be fast and furious, so land vehicles will spawn at every possible point on the map, are invulnerable to weapon damage and tire puncture, and provide players with unlimited ammunition while inside. Your gun will still have a capacity and require a reload when empty, but reloading it will not consume your ammo stockpile.

Once phase 6 of the game begins, the ball will disappear and the circle’s location will be set. From this point on, zone settings will be like any other match and squads will have to battle it out to be the last ones standing.

A few more quick notes on the rules; water, the small islands around Erangel, some generally inaccessible rooftops, and ferries are all no bueno. Entering one of these restricted areas will automatically detach the ball and players in these areas are not considered eligible targets for it to attach to. Players will also receive damage just by entering the water, so keep those boots dry as you plot out your route.

A detailed breakdown of the rules can also be found below. LABS: Zone Tag will be available from February 9th – 15th for PC and from February 23 – March 1st for Console. This is something pretty different for us, so drop in and let us know what you think! Get the ball, fend off your attackers, and set up your own end circle to finish off any who remain in Zone Tag!

The Ball
- The Ball spawns on a random player at the start of the match.
- The Ball drags the center of the circle along with it wherever it moves.
- The Ball grants a special visual effect to the carrier.

POBG

WHAT THE HELL IS POBG?

Welcome Survivors! By now you may have noticed a newcomer in our in-game lobby. The game’s name is POBG a.k.a PlayerOmnom’s Battlegrounds. So now the question is, who the hell is Player Omnom?

Player Omnom, a Survivor of the avian variety, a chicken with a grudge against Player Unknown. Presented in a vintage top down shooter fashion, taking place on several of the PUBG maps you already know and love. Players will have to take down an alarming number of angry chickens to make it to the final showdown with Omnom.

WHAT CAME FIRST? OMNOM OR UNKNOWN?
As far as the origins of POBG, we have some answers…

LABS: RESPAWN ROYALE

This round of PUBG LABS utilizes two different gameplay changes to create a frantic experience for squads on Paramo. The first of which is a 500% damage increase across the board for all weapons and throwables in order to create a one-shot-kill scenario. But fear not, though dying may be easy, so is getting back into the game!

In Respawn Royale, your defeated squadmates will automatically rejoin the fight after their 100 second death timer has counted down. All you need to do is stay alive as a squad until that happens! If at least 1 squad member is still standing when a player’s death timer completes, they will rejoin the fight but be careful – if your squad is wiped completely, you’ll all be eliminated from the match.

Respawn Royale takes place on Paramo with you and up to 7 other squads. To help keep the focus on the action, we’ve also eliminated weapon looting and added the choice of three different spawn kits. This kit can be changed each time you respawn, so keep an eye on the situation your remaining team members find themselves in. The Blue Zone will also still function as normal, so keep on the move!

WEAPON DAMAGE

FAQ

HOW CAN PLAYERS CONTROL THE BALL?
Move towards the ball and make contact to dribble.
The faster you’re moving when you make contact, the further the ball will go. Try sprinting at the ball when you want to shoot or make a long pass.
You can use melee attacks such as punching to attack opponents.

ARE THERE FOULS?
No. Feel free to use aggression with your enemies whilst trying to take possession.
There are no offsides, lineouts, or handling fouls. Do whatever you want and can to secure the win!

IS THERE A GOALIE?
We provide a Shield so that one player from each team can defend their goal.
The Shield covers a large area and can also be used to push away your opponents! Try to take advantage of this feature when defending.
The Shield can be equipped and used only within the penalty area. If you cross the penality line with the Shield equipped, it’ll be unequipped automatically.

HOW DO YOU BECOME SON HEUNG-MIN?!
The player who scores the most goals during the match can transform into “Sonny”, the superhero.
For male characters, Son’s face, hair, and uniform are applied. For female characters, face and hair remain the same.

Once you transform into Son, you benefit from a full boost with an extra speed increase until the end of the match.

LABS: ZONE TAG AGAIN

The battle for the Blue Ball is back. PUBG presents to you LABS: Zone Tag Again! Since the first version of Zone Tag that was released this February was quite experimental for us as well, we’ve utilized our players’ feedback thereafter and made some both big and small changes that would hopefully suit your tastes.

Let’s now take a look at those changes.

LABS: ZONE TAG CHANGES

HEALTH REGENERATION
To make things fairer, all players can now regenerate health based on their movement speed (also works inside vehicles). The faster you move, the more health you regenerate per second.

OVERALL LOOT
We’ve increased the overall amount of loot as we noticed that players were not able to find enough loot within phases of the game.
We also removed boost items as everyone can regenerate HP based on movement speed.

THE ANCHOR
An Anchor will spawn if the Carrier stays in one area for too long.
The area radius of the Anchor gets larger with every circle phase.
The Blue Ball will get detached if the Carrier does not move away from the Anchor.

BOATS AND AQUARAILS
Boats and Aquarails will spawn.
The Carrier however cannot enter water, nor use boats or Aquarails.
For more details on the general rules of Zone Tag, check out our previous announcement.

LABS: HALLOWEEN BATTLE ROYALE

So for this Halloween, we’ve decided to resurrect last year’s Fantasy Battle Royale from its legendary ruins and polish it into a spookier version and name: PUBG LABS is back with Halloween Battle Royale!

Are you ready to charge into the spine-chilling Battlegrounds?

WHAT IS HALLOWEEN BATTLE ROYALE?

Players will be asked to transform into their preferable class, aboard the Ghost Ship (yup, not a plane!), jump down into Erangel’s darkness, and fight to be the last one standing. Pretty easy, huh? It’s the same old battle royale but you’re all simply placed in a fantastical setting. Let’s now take a look at Halloween Battle Royale’s basic rules and features.

- Players can enter Halloween Battle Royale mode by pressing the LABS banner in the main lobby.
- Once matchmaking is done, a window will pop up where players can choose to be either an Executioner, Ranger, Pyromancer, or Cleric.
- Players will have time to choose their class in the pre-game lobby; they can also bring the class window back up by pressing F8 for PC or X for Console.
- The first circle will be shown on the map once players hop on the Ghost Ship.
- At the same time, players will be equipped with their respective class’s Level 1 weapon, ring, and necklace.
- Players will have to loot ingredients to upgrade their weapons.
- Fight foes with your class skills, show great teamwork with your squad, and win Halloween Battle Royale.

HALLOWEEN BATTLE ROYALE CLASSES

Now’s the time to introduce the four different classes: Executioner, Ranger, Pyromancer, or Cleric. Since there are no limits to the number of a certain class in a single squad, teammates should get tactical and put their heads together to think about what combination they could come up with.

However, keep in mind that each class requires its own exclusive ingredients to grow stronger! Therefore, it would be efficient to share loot among different classes, but it’s obviously not the best to share the loot you would need if your squad is made up of four Executioners.

Another important note: once players upgrade their Level 1 weapons to Level 2, they can choose between two different types of weapons. Each weapon has different skills so make sure to craft and wield wisely! But do not fear; players can switch between the two weapons in every upgrade stage.

EXECUTIONER


An Executioner is your classic melee warrior that can chase down or pull enemies in for brutal combat.

- Default Weapon: Axe of Swiftness
- Executioners can dash towards enemies.
- Alternate Weapon (Craftable from Level 2): Halberd of Restraint
- Executioners can pull in enemies within a certain area.
- Executioners also generate class-exclusive items throughout the game.

- Stun Ball: Stuns enemies for 2 seconds.
- Liquid Courage: Enhances moving speed and boosts HP for a certain amount of time.

RANGER


A Ranger can either become a sniper who deals damage from afar or a stealthy assassin that dives in for a sneak attack.

- Default Weapon: Fatal Crossbow
- Powerful long-range weapon.
- Alternate Weapon (Craftable from Level 2): Blade of Invisibility
- Short-ranged melee weapon that allows Rangers to turn invisible for a certain amount of time.
- Attacking enemies from behind or during an invisible state will apply more damage.
- Rangers also generate class-exclusive items throughout the game.

- Snare Trap: Rangers can set up traps and root enemies for 5 seconds.
- Stun Grenade: The same old stun grenade.

PYROMANCER


A Pyromancer specializes in assaulting multiple enemies at once with deadly fire.

- Default Weapon: Gloves of Calamity
- Allows Pyromancers to attack with Fireballs.
- Deals great damage but is difficult to wield.
- Alternate Weapon (Craftable from Level 2): Hellfire Cannon
- Can fire infinitely.
- May overheat and be unusuable for a certain amount of time if continuously used.
- Pyromancers also cast spells throughout the game.

- Firewall: Generates large firewalls to block the enemy’s path.
- Meteor Shower: Generates powerful meteors. This can only be activated when the Pyromancer’s necklace is Level 3 or above.

CLERIC


A Cleric is an aggressive healer that can lock in melee combat.

- Default Weapon: Mace of Suffering and Aegis of Light
- The Mace of Suffering is a melee weapon that causes enemies to bleed for a certain amount of time.
- Using the Mace of Suffering on teammates will restore their HP.
- The Aegis of Light blocks crossbow attacks.
- Alternate Weapon (Craftable from Level 2): Triage Shotgun
- Shooting teammates will restore their HP.
- Shooting enemies will debuff them and cause slight damage.
- Clerics also generate class-exclusive items throughout the game.

- Vitality Bomb: Restores HP.
- First Aid Kit: Healing item that can be shared with teammates.

ITEMS AND CRAFTING

- Halloween Battle Royale has its own set of items spawned throughout the map, so players won’t be finding any weapons, ammo, throwables, boosts, or equipment.
- However, bandages will spawn.
- The items that players will find will mostly be ingredients to upgrade weapons, rings, and necklaces.
- Each class-specific weapon, ring, and necklace given to the players at the beginning cannot be dropped or traded.

- Players can open the crafting window by pressing Tab.
- The looted ingredients are used to upgrade players’ weapons, ring, and necklace.
- Players can right-click to upgrade craftable items (which will glow up).
- Since each class has two weapons, players will be shown two weapon-crafting routes.
- Each class’s Level 1 weapon is set as default but starting from Level 2, players can choose to craft to either of the two weapons (Ex. Players can craft a Executioner’s Level 1 Axe to Level 2 Axe OR Level 2 Halberd).

TREASURE CHESTS (CARE PACKAGES)

Treasure falling from the sky! The care packages will be looking like Treasure Chests in Halloween Battle Royale.

- Treasure Chests contain general and Level 5 crafting ingredients.
- Dropped Treasure Chests will be marked on the map.
- Players will have to damage the Treasure Chest to open it.
- The squad that successfully opens and interacts with the Treasure Chest is given an invincibility buff for 10 seconds.

VEHICLES

- Instead of normal vehicles and planes, Halloween Battle Royale will only have the “Night Slayer” UAZ and Ghost Ships.

LABS: MONSTER CHICKEN ROYALE

Everyone seems to be craving that Chicken Dinner so we’ve prepared an extra big dish for you – meet a real-life Monster Chicken ravaging the streets of Karakin in this LABS update, Monster Chicken Royale! Not only will you have to be wary of enemy players, but you’ll also have to watch out for that monstrous beak’s deadly pecks, earsplitting cockadoodledoos, and yes, fiery breath attacks.

BASIC RULES

- Monster Chicken Royale follows the same ol’ battle royale rules, but with an extra enemy – the Monster Chicken – squeezed in between.
- Once a match starts, the Monster Chicken (50 meters tall) will spawn and start roaming on the map.
- The Monster Chicken can attack as well, and with each phase its attack patterns will vary.
- Players can observe the Monster Chicken’s location any time through the chicken-shaped icon on the World Map.
- Every player will also have the HP bar of the Monster Chicken displayed on their screen.
- HP bar will deplete when Monster Chicken receives damage.
- The way to earn that Winner Winner Monster Chicken Dinner is very simple: Either make the Monster Chicken’s HP hit 0 or like usual, be the last one standing by eliminating every foe player on the Battlegrounds.

LABS: PUBG X DEAD BY DAYLIGHT

The Killer's out there in the Fog and our teammates are currently risking their lives to repair those generators.

One day, everything was consumed by the Fog. Just like that. Nobody knows why.

Expeditions were dispatched - us right now - to study and report back the buried secrets of the Fog. But it didn't take us long to find out something more lurked out here...

The Killer makes sure many teams don't come back from the Fog. In other words, not only do you have to reveal the Fog's mysteries and escape safely, but you also have to make sure you don't get slaughtered.

We call it the Killer.

The Killer makes sure many teams don’t come back from the Fog. In other words, not only do you have to reveal the Mist’s mysteries and escape safely, but you also have to make sure you don’t get slaughtered.

But before you begin, make sure to read the expedition guideline below for a higher chance of survival.

- Once a match starts, there will be a number of broken generators (3 greater than the number of Survivors) scattered throughout the map.
- Survivors (three teammates) will have to work together to repair 1 more generator than the number of Survivors to activate the exit gates’ switches.
- There will be a single Killer per match.
- The Killer has one goal: do whatever they can to prevent every Survivor from escaping.

You can only enter it for a limited time, when the devs annouce the release date

[♿ SoSo]

How exactly do you enter event mode?

[TheHolyAtheist]

Please make a death race with duos or 4 man team where everybody spawns in dacia with handguns equipped with red dot, where we race and shoot each other. one drives, the other one (or three) are shooting. Map would be erangel and there is a track all around the island. circle is disabled. and you can only drive on a certan path.
what do you say?

[Freifur]

2nd Idea: Invert the blue zone, starts small and gradually gets bigger (would probably only work if the blue zone started in one of the corners of the map though :S

[Freifur]

Instead of 6) "Run, fools!" (by Houlio873) • The 'white' zone is not shown on the map, but it still exists

Make it so that the Safe zone does not appear until 1 second before the blue zone starts moving and increase the blue zone speed.

[Mr.Niveaulos]

Event Idea: no healing or boost items
Other Idea: again no heal or boost items but with healthregeneration

[GKaZe]

"6) "Run, fools!" (by Houlio873)
• The 'white' zone is not shown on the map" sounds like a simple yet crazy mode, everyone will be either be center of blue zone or hiding on the edge of the map..

Death Race: Race around the road on any map to the finish. You spawn in a Dacia. You can get out of the car to search buildings for different vehicles, fuel, or weapons, or just make a roadblock. Win by getting first or killing everyone else. Playzone is disabled.
