PUBG's Event Mode Mixes It Up
PUBG is trying out new game parameters with Event Mode – a place where PUBG Corp wants to present new ideas outside of the regular experience.
Event mode is accessible in the main menu, and its first twist is to double the rifle drop rate (matchmaking with the third-person perspective on Erangel).
The mode is unranked, although you'll get BP at the end of a match.
PUBG Corp. says Event mode will go live soon once testing is complete, and teases that one of its next iterations includes the flare gun.

Our Take
This sounds like a great way to not only offer something different from the core experience, but also to test out possible new ideas that could become mainstays.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
