After the exciting Tequila Sunrise event, where players could only brandish a shotgun throughout the duration of the game, a brand new PUBG event mode was announced. In fact, it just went live and it’s called “War”. Boasting itself to be the game’s “most deadly” event mode to date, War lets players join a 10-man squad to try and dominate an area within Erangel. Those who die respawn on a plane only to jump down into the mayhem over and over.

There will be a total of three groups competing for domination and the first one to reach 200 points wins the match. Need more details on the new PUBG event mode? Check out the promotional trailer below and even further down to find out information on loadout, schedule and more:
