PUBG is the gift that keeps on giving. Literally, in this case, as Krafton has just announced a set of surprise weekend drops that reward you for doing very little.

In fact, all you have to do is log in between Friday, January 10 and Sunday, January 12. That’s literally it: just access the lobby and you fulfil all of the criteria.

This will grant you the following rewards:

  • Hunter’s Chest x3
  • Key x3
  • BP x10,000

The Surprise Weekend Drops event is available across PC and console, and is available across the following times:

  • Begins: January 10 at 2:00 AM UTC
  • Ends: January 13 at 2:00 AM UTC

You can learn more about the Surprise Weekend Drops on the official PUBG website.

New Years and the Return of Spring Fest 2024 Are Still Going Strong

If you need another reason to head back into PUBG this weekend, look no further than the New Year’s Event. This kicked off on New Year’s Eve, and granted you gifts just for logging in.

Sadly, you can no longer claim the New Year’s gift, but you can still participate in the other part of the event. It brought back Spring Fest 2024, bizarrely, which provides you with another chance to grab that fancy set of cosmetics.

You’ve got until January 15 to finish up the event, so get stuck in ASAP.

PUBG Might be Getting an AI Ally

In other news, PUBG might be getting an AI ally system known as the ‘Co-Playable Character‘ or CPC for short. This is currently under development at Nvidia, and would see you having an ally you can communicate with to help you in battle.

It’s not clear if this system will arrive in PUBG at all, or in what form if it does. It’s an intriguing idea though, and one that we’d be curious to see within its own mode.
