PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is introducing one of Call of Duty: Warzone’s biggest features – the ability to return to battle for after dying during a match for a second-chance at that chicken dinner.
Announced as part of PUBG’s Update 12.2 patch notes, this feature, which is known as Comeback BR, will initially be exclusive to PUBG’s latest 8×8 map known as Taego.
The mechanic is only usable by those who die during the first Blue Zone phase in any given Squad match on Taego. Once dead, players will find themselves in a Comeback Arena – which sounds like a variation of Warzone’s Gulag – and they will have to survive long enough to be transported to the Taego mainland by helicopter in phase 3.
The Comeback Arena is separate from the main fight and, instead of competing 1v1 against another player, all those who died during the Blue Zone phase will enter this mini-match of PUBG. They will still need to find loot and items to stay alive, and can be brought back without killing anyone.
Have you played PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds?
There are no bots of knockdowns in Comeback BR, and if you can survive, you will return with all your items and gear, but your health and boost levels will be reset. Don’t worry though, your kills and stats are still recorded.
Lastly, at least one Squad member must be alive in the main fight for a teammate to come back.
The Comeback Arena isn’t the only way players can earn a second-chance on Taego, however, as the Self AED will also give players an opportunity to stay in the fight. This world-loot item allows for self-revival when DBNO, without the need of a teammate. This is available in Solo and Squad matches.
Update 12.2 also brings with it new weapons like the K2 5.56mm caliber AR and the MK12 5.56mm caliber DMR, and a new vehicle in the Pony Coupe.
