Exciting New Game Mode in PUBG
In an engaging twist, PUBG is introducing a delightful new game mode called Prop Hunt, just in time for April Fools’ Day. Known for its playful spirit, the battle royale has a history of embracing whimsical elements during this festive occasion, previously featuring oversized chickens, retro 8-bit graphics, and even Dungeons & Dragons-inspired classes. This year, PUBG opts for a nostalgic favorite that promises to inject a fresh dose of fun into the gameplay.
For those unfamiliar with the concept, Prop Hunt is reminiscent of a classic game of hide-and-seek. In this mode, a select group of players takes on the role of hunters, while others become the hiders, transforming into various inanimate objects to blend seamlessly into their surroundings.
Fans of similar game modes, such as those found in Call of Duty, will recognize the typical chaos that ensues, with hunters frantically shooting at random items in hopes of hitting a cleverly disguised player. However, PUBG introduces a unique twist: hunters will face penalties for missed shots, as their health points will decrease with each errant round. This innovative mechanic shifts the focus from blind luck to strategic gameplay, enhancing the overall experience.
The hiders, or props, are not without their own set of advantages. Equipped with a variety of tools, they can deploy decoys, change their disguises, and even utilize stun grenades to momentarily distract their pursuers. If discovered, escaping should be manageable, allowing players to quickly alter their appearance and evade capture before the disorienting flash fades.
PUBG Prop Hunt is currently available in the Arcade section and will run for a limited time, concluding on Saturday, April 7th. Players can enjoy this mode across several maps, including Rondo, Vikendi, and Miramar. So, gather your friends and dive into the fun—just be prepared for the unexpected. You might just find yourself hiding as an unsuspecting deck chair, or perhaps something even more surprising.
