PUBG - PUBG LABS: Thermal Scope Mode

Posted: 06 Jan 2021 09:04 PM PST

Hello Survivors,

Our first LABS experiment of the year is coming soon! To kick things off, we're dropping a new attachment into the game and bringing back a special weather setting to show it off in! Introducing the Thermal Scope!

Unlike existing telescopic sights, the Thermal Scope detects infrared rays emitted by objects and makes them stand out against their backgrounds. Thanks to this new equipment, players are now able to better detect enemies obscured by darkness, smoke, or trees and bushes, which can be difficult with the existing scopes.

Since the Thermal Scope is best utilized in areas of low light, we're bringing back Moonlight Mode on Vikendi for this test! Full details on the mode can be found below.

LABS: Thermal Scope Mode

The new Thermal Scope will be world-spawned loot.

The Thermal Scope uses heat signatures to help you find obscured enemies more easily.
This includes enemies hiding in smoke, darkness, brush, etc.
