Unfortunate news to PUBG players as the new War Mode event was prematurely ended due to server issues it was causing. With less than 24 hours available for players to jump in the driver’s seat on this new action 50-player death match, the mode was shut down. With such a small window of opportunity, many players did not get to participate in this intense new game type that brought respawns and score based winning.

Taking to Twitter, the PUBG team had this to say on the closing of the event:

PC Players: The emergency maintenance is now complete. Unfortunately, we’ve had to prematurely end this week’s event mode, as it was found to be the cause of recent server instability. Our engineers are working hard to ensure this problem doesn’t occur in the future.”

In the event the team behind PUBG fix the issues that resulted in server maintenance and bring it back to the game, below are the details for War Mode:

War Mode Rules:

• All players are grouped up in teams of five. Each game will have a maximum of 50 players (up to ten full teams).
• Immediately after the plane gets into the air, the safe zone is visible on the map.
• The safe zone is small—but slightly larger than the previous iteration of War Mode—and never closes in or changes location throughout the duration of the game.
• Getting kills and knocks (when your opponent is “down but not out”) earns points for your team. The first team to get 200 points wins.
  • Kill: +3 points
  • Knocks: +1 point
  • Own Team Kill / Own Team Knock: -5 points
• If no team reaches 200 points before the 15-minute time limit, the team with the highest score will be declared the winner.
• Each time you’re killed, you’ll respawn in planes that fly by every 40 seconds.

Loadouts, Loot, and Care Packages:

This time around, players spawn with top-tier equipment that’s normally found only in care packages. This includes:

• One random care package weapon (AWM, M24, Mk14, M249, Groza, or AUG)
• A level three vest
• A level three helmet
• Two grenades

Other Event Rules:

• Weather is locked at sunset.
• Bleedout damage when knocked is increased.
• Reviving knocked teammates takes only two seconds.
• You can invite up to four players from your friends list to your party before
• jumping into game. Any remaining open team slots will be filled by the auto-
• matching system.
• Care package drops are disabled.
• Killer spectating is disabled.
• Redzone is disabled.
