PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is introducing a new mode through its PUBG Labs feature that dims the lights and takes away much of the on-screen UI. This new mode called “Challenger Battle Royale” takes place on the Sanhok map at sunset with the entire area darkened to make players rely on their senses and the occasional flare that lights up the map. Things like the player’s HUD and ping messages have been removed entirely, so you’ll have to keep a close eye on anything that you see moving.

  • The Safe Zone is identified

  • Occurs at the center of the new circle

  • The Flare does not light up the area

  • Occurs when the new Blue Zone is determined

  • Visible until the Blue Zone starts to move

  • Three Flare sounds

  • Flare lights up the surrounding area

  • Occurs in the center of the safe zone

  • Occurs when the Blue Zone starts to move

  • Visible flare until the Blue Zone stops

  • Flare in the same position as the single warning phase flare
