Popular online game PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) has launched a special event ahead of Pakistan’s 74th Independence Day, allowing its loyal fans to compete at various new locations modelled on the country’s historical and cultural sites.
PUBG — which made headlines over the past few weeks due to Pakistan’s telecommunications regulator imposing a ban on the game and the courts ruling it be lifted — has introduced these locations on its mobile app. The exclusive event runs until August 24, 2020.
Titled ‘It’s Beautiful, It’s Pakistan’, the new event comes as a “token of appreciation for all the love and support shown by its loyal player base here in Pakistan”, according to a press release. It lets players “journey from one exemplary monument to the other, from the comfort of their homes”.
To add to the enjoyment of fans and players, it has also created a host of PUBG-themed wallpapers of Pakistan’s most iconic monuments. Among the locations are Quaid’s Mausoleum, Badshahi Mosque, Derawar Fort, Chitral and Hingol National Parks, Pakistan Monument, Noor Mahal, Clock Tower, and Ziarat Residency.
Here’s how fans can access and participate in the new event:
- During the event, players must complete daily missions to collect PUBG MOBILE Flips
- Players can secure 1 Flip for each mission that is completed
- PUBG MOBILE Flips can also be collected by playing the Daily Quiz which includes various interesting questions about Pakistan
- Each day, 3 questions are to be answered, every correct answer will reward players with 1 PUBG MOBILE Flip
- Once you collect Flips, players must go to the homepage and click on the active location to play Flip, Match and Win memory game using the PUBG MOBILE Flip
- Players can tap on any card to flip it and reveal the reward hidden behind it
