PUBG launches new event: 8 player squad

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds just announced ‘Event Mode’. This feature will introduce new rotation modes to the game, to create interesting experiences in a short time to help the PUBG community innovate.

During the first week of Event Mode, you’ll join a squad of 8 and the drop rate will be doubled, to make sure everyone has the right gear. “Even Mode’s first event was very simple, as the new system was launched and we needed to test the basics first,” he said. This event promises to create many unexpected interesting things in PUBG.

The first mode went live in Test Sever today, but it’s only for Erangel map, to ensure “matchmaking efficiency”.

Today we’re introducing PUBG Event Mode. Players can now experience limited-time, experimental Battle Royale modes.

“Using Event Mode, players will have a different experience not possible before,” promises PUBG Corp. they also confirmed that it won’t rank but the player still gets BP, the in-game currency.

A similar feature is also applied in another Battle Royale game, Fortnite – with the name ‘Victory Royale’ just released, allowing 20-player squads. PUBG has long been known for its more serious gameplay than Fortnite, so let’s see how far PUBG is ready to go.

In addition, PUBG also gives a hint image for the next mode…

Looks like this is a cannon gun. What does it mean by pointing at the sky? Maybe it will be mode with strange weapons, or duel? Or maybe a night map? It opens up a lot of possibilities, but we have to wait to get more details from PUBG.
