PUBG LABS is now live with Challenger Battle Royale
In this turn of Labs, on-screen UI is minimal to enhance immersion in this unique Challenger Battle Royale mode, upping the stealth experience with an eerie dusk setting.
Ready to run to the safe zone?
Sanhok at sunset, you are wandering through the jungle forest alone. As time goes by, the anxiety of being attacked at any time increases. Right now, you don’t have a clue of where and how many enemies are out there.
The UI you used to rely on in typical play situations, such as the compass, mini-map, ammo, kill feed, and alive player counter, is not displayed. The lack of familiar information makes you even more focused on your vision and hearing.
At that very moment, a flare is fired, indicating the circle’s center and brightened the world around you. From the east, you feel the presence of someone, another survivor that you didn’t want to encounter. It seems that the other survivor has not yet recognized your existence. Would it be worth killing the opponent while exposing your location at this time? It’s up to you to decide.
Once the flare is fired three times, it is a sign that the Blue Zone is closing in, which means you can’t just sit there. You can’t afford to waste any more time. You have to decide and move quickly to the center of the circle.
Can you become the ultimate survivor in Sanhok after sunset?
