Save the Newbies

May 27 Update

*Due to an unexpected issue in granting the Nickel G-Coin Box, the distribution will begin on Thursday, June 2nd. We will update you again through this announcement once the delivery is complete.

Hello players!

We’re pretty sure everyone has had their clumsy PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS “newbie” moments: either by running blindly across an open and vulnerable field with their weapons holstered, or unintentionally sacrificing themselves by holding onto a cooked grenade, or even taking a stroll in the Blue Zone and wondering why they’re suddenly crawling on the ground.

Oh, are you finding yourself relating to these examples? Or do you find yourself a PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS expert and wish to be a good sport and help out?

Then you’ve come to the perfect place. Participate in the Save the Newbies campaign, enjoy PUBG as either a newbie or expert, and take home in-game rewards!
