PUBG gamers pay “huge” to buy rare costumes

With the introduction of the ‘chest-key’ system (like in Team Fortress 2 and Counter Strike: Global Offensive), PlayerUnknown’s Battleground joins the list of games that sell skins in Early Access – which causes a lot of trouble. conflicting opinions.

The costumes in the box are inspired by the classic movie Battle Royale. The proceeds from the sale of these boxes will be used as prizes for the ongoing Gamescom PUBG Invitational event, in part to support charities. In these boxes are limited edition skins. And since they were the game’s first premium skins, many players are selling these skins through the Steam Community Market for incredibly high prices.

Although Gamescom crates can be purchased through in-game currency (BP), the player must spend $2.50 to purchase the key to open the chest. Similar to regular crates, the BP of Gamescom crates doubles after every purchase prior to the weekend reset, so it’s very difficult for a player to get a complete set unless purchased from outside.

According to the official announcement at the launch of the pay box: “…on August 27, the Gamescom Invitational crate will no longer be available and will be removed from the game. After that, the game will return to the old free box opening system.”

Here are the most expensive PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds items on Steam:

Ivory School Uniform set (female) – ivory white school uniform

Just because a skin is sold on the Steam Community Market for a certain price doesn’t mean other players are willing to buy it at that price. If the seller can set the selling price, the buyer can also set the amount they are willing to pay – when an item is sold at or below the asking price, the order will be automatically performed. This means that at least one Steam user is willing to shell out $475 for this Battle Royale movie set.

PLAYERUNKNOWN set – PLAYERUNKNOWN set

Those who pre-order the $40 deluxe version of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds while the game is in closed beta will receive a set of items that will make it look exactly like Mr.Unknown. This set is now priced up to nearly 1000 dollars.

PLAYERUNKNOWN’s Bandana (face veil)

Although the suggested selling price is lower than the uniform set, the amount that players intending to buy this PlayerUnknown scarf offer is higher than the amount that players who want to buy the uniform set are willing to pay.

Tuxedo set (women) – tuxedo set

Quite surprising that the amount that the person who wants to buy this set offers is much lower than the other items on the list. Perhaps the reason is because this set can be opened in a normal box?

Black School Uniform set (girls) – black school uniform

Obviously, women’s clothing is very sought after. Despite the list of PlayerUnknown items, items labeled ‘female’ still make up 4 of the 10 most expensive items in PUBG.

School Skirt (white) – white uniform skirt

This dress is reminiscent of the expensive Whiteout skin of the MP7 in Counter Strike: Global Offensive. In the PUBG world, where most of the clothes are bleak with gas masks and tank tops, pure white stands out.

PLAYERUNKNOWN’s Trenchcoat – cape PLAYERUNKNOWN

The father of the game PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is clearly revered when there are 3 items related to this character ranked in the top 10 most expensive items in the game.

Pleated Mini-skirt (blue) – pleated mini skirt (blue)

This dress is listed for sale for half the price of the set that goes with it – an example of a seller pushing the market price, or because those are items that players are particularly interested in having. higher price than other items in the same set?

Instructor set – instructor set

The instructor set includes an item currently priced at around $156 (Camo Hotpants), which explains why buyers are willing to pay such a high price for this set. However, it can be seen that sellers are thinking that the finished set is more valuable and should sell for a higher price – this is quite an interesting development and is likely to be a trend in the future.

Unlike in CS:GO, clothing in PUBG can affect performance. They’re not just for decoration, wearing the right shade of clothing can keep you in hiding long enough to win, and a few items can provide better camouflage in upcoming PUBG maps.

In the initial announcement of the launch of the ‘chest-key’ mechanism, Bluehole hinted at the possibility of creating a more advanced key-box system, which raised a number of questions. When will new crates be added? Is it possible to buy them while the game is in Early Access? What role will they play in providing game development funding? Are they only on sale for a limited time? Depending on how Bluehole Interactive answers these questions, the item market in PUBG could turn into a veritable battleground as well.
