Krafton, Inc. announced the launch of “Pro Hunt” mode for PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS, a special event for April 1st. This mode brings a fun twist to the usual combat experience. It will be available for a limited time on several maps in the game.
Pro Hunt: Explosive Hide and Seek
In this temporary Arcade mode, players are divided into two roles: “Props” and “Hunters”. Props disguise themselves as objects scattered around the map and must remain hidden from Hunters. They must track down and eliminate all the Props before time runs out. This mode combines stealth, strategy and cunning, offering a unique experience that goes beyond traditional Battle Royale combat gameplay.
Each session consists of three rounds, with a total of 12 players divided into 3 Hunters and 9 Props. At the start of each round, players choose their preferred role. The game automatically balances teams if necessary.
During the preparation phase, hunters wait in a restricted area while the hunted choose their disguises and find hiding places. Hunters must search for and eliminate suspicious objects throughout the round. Shooting at elements of the scenery that are not players reduces their life points, adding an element of risk to each decision. A brief “Fever Time” near the end of each round provides Hunters with additional firepower and removes penalties for missed shots.
Players disguised as objects can use a range of skills to survive, including deploying decoys, changing disguises, and using stun and glare effects to disrupt hunters. These mechanics encourage dynamic and strategic gameplay throughout each game.
Ahead of the mode’s release, PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS also launched a teasing campaign that reinvents Prop Hunt in the form of a teleshopping show. The mode is highlighted in a creative and unexpected format. Players can thus discover in preview the game mechanics and the possibilities offered by this temporary mode.
Availability and maps
Prop Hunt is available in Arcade mode on several maps, including Rondo, Vikendi, and Miramar. It will be playable for a limited time, from March 31 to April 8. Players can therefore enjoy this original game mode for a week.
