New Event Mode of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is now live and it emphasizes the close combat with shotguns and melee weapons. In this new mode, you will fight with and against other people just like you did before; except this time, you won’t be able to stay on one position throughout the game. This mode will encourage you to get your close combat weapons and jump in the action.
In this mode, you will form a group of four players and play on Miramar map. It will begin on April 5th at 7 PM PT and will be active for three days, 74 hours. There are other important facts about this mode and it will be better if I share the actual announcement:
