The 8th anniversary of PUBG
Hello, players. I’m very happy to celebrate the 8th anniversary of PUBG with you!
From the moment we took the first step on a strange battlefield 8 years ago, every battle we experienced with everyone has been written into the history of PUBG. Every moment of fighting for survival, the joy and cheers after winning, and one story after another intertwined with war and friendship. Now it’s time to commemorate the past and celebrate this rare milestone moment!
For this year’s anniversary, we have prepared golden grenades, 8th anniversary third-level head robots, giant electronic screens, fireworks enough to light up the battlefield sky, and a party venue on board in PUBG. With their embellishment, the battlefield of PUBG will make people’s hearts beat faster, and the atmosphere of the party will become more exciting.
So, everyone, are you ready for the 8th anniversary of PUBG? Let’s enter the battlefield together and witness the opening moment of this golden party!
8th anniversary party

With the arrival of the 8th anniversary of PUBG, the birth point of the map also ushered in a swaying big guy – the third-level robot. You might as well try to throw a golden grenade at it before the game starts! Whenever you hit a certain number of times, the nickname of the hitter will be displayed on the electronic screen.

M83’s masterpieces include “Midnight City” and other tracks, which are famous for their dreamy and cinematic music. I hope everyone can better complete the preparations before entering the battlefield with the music of the new hall!

Text, screenshots, PC games, furniture-marked photos The content created by AI can be denied.
Launch date
After the official service maintenance on March 12, 2025 – 8:00 a.m. on March 26, 2025
Details
Application mode: fierce battle mode
Perspective: 3rd person
Team formation: four rows
The types of weapon boxes provided at the beginning of the game are as follows.
Assault rifle, submachine gun, precision shooter rifle/sniper rifle, shotgun
※ Experience Gunfight Laboratory: Arcade points can be obtained when the hit lens shakes 2 times.
Change of the shaking mechanism of the hit lens
The shaking mechanism of the hit lens that I briefly met in Gunfight Laboratory: Hit Lens Shake 1 has ushered in the following changes in Gunfight Lab: Hit Lens Shake 2.
It reduces the dizziness caused by the movement of the screen in the shake of the hit lens 1.
In the future, the lens shaking effect will weaken with the increase of distance.
When the distance increases, the lens shaking effect caused by submachine guns and shotguns will be greatly weakened. Starting from 50 meters, the submachine gun will cause a lens shaking effect similar to that of an assault rifle.
The lens shaking effect caused by sniper rifles will also decrease with the distance, but at medium distances, it can still cause a very powerful lens shaking effect.
The basic lens shaking effect caused by assault rifles and precision shooter rifles will be slightly higher than that of the official uniform, but when the distance exceeds 100 meters, their effect will be reduced to a level similar to that of the formal uniform.
In the hit lens shaking 1, the lens shaking effect caused by VSS is the same as that of the 5.56 mm caliber precision shooter rifle; in the hit lens shaking 2, VSS will have the same lens shaking effect as a submachine gun.
Developer’s message: In January’s gunfight laboratory: hit lens shaking, we brought you a new hit lens shaking mechanism and received various feedback from players. After carefully confirming everyone’s opinions, we fully understood the inconvenience felt by everyone, and decided to conduct the second round of testing the shaking mechanism of the hit lens through the gunfight laboratory.
In Gunfight Lab: Hit Lens Shake 2, players will experience the further improved hit shot shake effect. While retaining the inherent characteristics of the shaking of the hit lens, we optimized the dizziness and other problems felt by the players in the last test as much as possible. The main change is the introduction of the distance system. The new lens shaking effect will decrease with the distance. We expect it to let players experience a more realistic bullet impact. On this basis, we have also listened to everyone’s opinions and moved the test stage of Hit Lens Shaking 2 to the fierce battle mode with a higher battle frequency and easier to feel the new system, so as to avoid players not being able to fully experience the test content while playing.
After this laboratory test, we will still carefully analyze the game data and actively listen to and think about the opinions given by players. I hope you can pay more attention and actively participate in the test. Your feedback is the greatest help for us to make the game better and better. Thank you!
