Avid players of the popular game PlayerUnknown’s Battleground will be playing a new mode. This comes after the game developer disclosed that it is now experimenting a war mode. The PUBG’s war mode is similar to a conventional deathmatches, opposite the game’s current mode which is the last-one-standing scheme.
“We’re working on a new experiment with War Mode on custom servers. It’s currently in a very early stages of development, so if you’re able to access custom games, we’re eager to have you play and let us know what you think! We’re looking into bringing War Mode to live servers as an Event Mode (but it’ll likely, see changes between now and then),” said Robo Danjal, PUBG’s Community Director in a forum.
“Custom games and servers are still limited for now, but we intend to release them more widely at some point in the coming months. We’ll let you know when it’s ready,” he added.
Under PUBG’s war mode game, players enter in a death match that allows respawning. If you are a player that joins the game, the white zone or the safe area will be made available upon joining the game. What’s good with this war mode is that in case you die, you will be respawned at various time intervals.
Below are the game’s objectives, respawning, care package, and safe zone as published in PUBG forum.
