PUBG War Mode: Maps, Teams and Firing Modes
If you want to get stuck into War Mode, you’re going to be restricted to playing on Sanhok (and our Sanhok guide is an essential resource if you’ve not a lot of experience with the latest map).
Players will be separated into ten teams of five per match but there are a few subtle differences about the firing modes that will be available on different servers.
Players in the EU, NA and AS regions will be able to queue up for both TPP [Third Person Perspective] and FPP [First Person Perspective].
In the KR / JP / SA/ SEA and OC server regions, only TPP will be available.
PUBG War Mode: Rules
Here’s a complete breakdown of the rule system for Sanhok’s War Mode event.
- When spawning, all players will receive a Shotgun, a Handgun, a Frag Grenade and bandages.
- Additional drops will appear every 110 seconds, and will provide DMRs, SRs and other goodies to give you an advantage.
- In order to win a match, a team must score 200 points and the first one to do so will emerge victorious.
- If no team has reached 200 points after 15 minutes then whichever team has the most points by then will be declared the winner.
- Teams gain three points for each elimination and one point for a knock.
- When players are killed, they will respawn in planes that appear every 30 seconds.
- There is no friendly fire during War Mode.
- Vehicles and typical world loot will not spawn while playing in the event.
