The War Mode that recently arrived in PUBG was quickly taken away after problems began plaguing the experience. Now that all of the kinks have seemingly been worked out, the development team has announced that the limited time mode has returned to give it another go… “for real this time.”

In a post to the game’s Steam Community page, the team outlined the details about the War Mode: Desert Knights event. The mode sees 10 five-player squads go to town on one another until a team reaches 200 points. Obviously, this wouldn’t be achievable under normal battle royale rules, but players will respawn after each death to make that amount of points doable. The event isn’t set to last long, but you can check out all of the specifics below:

EVENT SCHEDULE 

STARTS: May 17, 7pm PDT / May 18, 4am CEST / May 18, 11am KST
ENDS: May 20, 7pm PDT / May 21, 4am CEST / May 21, 11am KST

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 first 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 sunrise.
• 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.
