PUBG: Battlegrounds Introduces Prop Hunt Mode for a Limited Time
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
PUBG: Battlegrounds has added a 12-player prop hunt mode running from March 31 to April 7, featuring asymmetric hide-and-seek gameplay with special abilities for both Hunters and Props.
PUBG: Battlegrounds is shaking up its traditional survival formula by introducing a prop hunt mode, though players only have a brief window to check it out. Originally launched in 2017 as PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, the game continues to find ways to keep its community engaged alongside heavy competition from titles like Fortnite and Call of Duty: Warzone. Between ongoing collaborations like the upcoming Stellar Blade crossover and fun alternative modes, the development team is keeping the experience fresh for its massive player base.
The new mode supports 12 players per match, splitting them into nine Props and three Hunters for a classic game of hide and seek. Rounds begin with a preparation phase where Props receive a temporary movement boost to find a disguise and a hiding spot, while Hunters wait in a restricted vision zone. Once the action starts, Hunters must track down the disguised players. To keep things challenging, Hunters lose HP if they shoot the wrong targets, and Props have access to tools like stun guns, decoys, and prop switches to survive.
While limited-time modes are a great way to bring friends back into a game for a casual weekend session, the temporary nature of this drop might leave some fans wishing for a permanent playlist. Still, it is a fun departure from the standard battle royale grind. As live service titles increasingly rely on rotating arcade modes to keep creator content entertaining on Twitch and YouTube, this update gives the PUBG community something fresh to stream and play.
