PUBG Arcade Gets a New Mode and a Makeover
The newly revamped PUBG Arcade offers several different ways to play, including Team Deathmatch, Intense Battle Royale, and the new Bluebomb Rush mode. This 6v6 match type is a capture/defend showdown, with teams facing off for control of a Blue Zone Generator. Playing Bluebomb or any of the other PUBG Arcade modes allows you to earn all-new Arcade Points that can be used to purchase Arcade-specific rewards.
Reward your squad mates with the new Reputation System
If you’ve ever seen someone on your squad pull off an incredible play and you wanted to commend them for it, now you can. Our new Reputation System allows players to shower their teammates with recognition for their skills, leadership, or communication on the battle royale field. Players who receive these commendations will gain points towards their reputation level, which grants an assortment of one-time rewards and recurring benefits.
