Yes, friends, you read that correctly. I got a new car.
I'm not much of a car expert. There are so many new manufacturers these days that I can't even tell them apart; I also can't figure out which of the many new energy and smart cars are good or bad... But I understand one principle passed down from our ancestors—the only downside of expensive things is their price, but that's not their flaw, it's mine.
Now, I've overcome my shortcoming. So, I must directly acquire the dream car I've longed for since childhood—iconic massive 22-inch wheels, wide diamond-mesh grille, handcrafted luxurious interior, and a roaring 782-horsepower engine...
And of course, the most important feature: the emblem located centrally between the headlights, above the grille—a large "B" stands prominently on the winged mesh, showcasing the owner's style and dominance.
That's right, I got a Bentley. As Volkswagen Group's most luxurious automotive brand, a Bentley is the dream car for countless people. Moreover, this two-seater convertible isn't just any model—it's a Continental GT Convertible MULLINER edition. The MULLINER edition refers to Bentley's personal customization division, whose works are always masterpieces crafted with precision.
If you ask me, although Bentleys are expensive, driving one doesn't hurt. Better to have a lighter wallet than to break the rules of prestige.
Moreover, this Bentley isn't actually that expensive.
It's not me showing off. Seriously, this is probably the most affordable opportunity ever to get a Bentley. Look, you only need to open crates a mere 85 times to guarantee the Continental GT Convertible MULLINER edition, valued at 3000 tokens. That's incredibly generous.
Yes, the Bentley I mentioned above was actually obtained through PUBG's latest event, the PUBG x Bentley collaboration—hey hey, just kidding with you all, I'm still your best broke buddy. But this time, we can indeed catch a glimpse of the ultra-luxury world within "PUBG."
This collaboration introduces three Bentley vehicle skins: the aforementioned Continental GT Convertible MULLINER edition (replacing the Coupe RB), the Flying Spur MULLINER edition, which better embodies traditional Bentley luxury aesthetics (replacing the Dacia sedan and muscle car), and the further enhanced Flying Spur MULLINER Luxury Edition.
Each model meticulously recreates the exterior and interior of the original Bentley vehicles. They come standard with Bentley rotating displays, self-leveling wheel hub emblems, exclusive driving sounds, engine start-up sounds, and exhaust backfire effects. Each vehicle skin also features unique lobby animations.
Furthermore, the Continental GT Convertible MULLINER edition features the ability to open and close its folding soft-top roof, just like the real car. Meanwhile, the Flying Spur MULLINER Luxury Edition comes equipped with a sliding panoramic sunroof and a retractable "Flying B" hood ornament, exuding dominance.
Meanwhile, owners of Bentley skins can access exclusive "Bentley Containers" in the pre-match waiting area. Only esteemed Bentley owners and their teammates can drive or ride in the Bentley vehicles loaded inside—giving you an advantage before the match even begins.
After the game update on October 14, the Bentley collaboration's Artisan Pass and supply crate draws went live simultaneously. As mentioned earlier, the cumulative draw guarantees in this crate are quite generous. You only need 85 draws to guarantee a Continental GT Convertible MULLINER edition, and 180 draws will award the abstract-reward-limited Continental GT Convertible MULLINER edition with gradient blue paint. Although the Bentley collaboration didn't offer a 2000-token vehicle model like some previous collaborations, the generous guarantees perfectly compensate for this.
The event pass itself provides 710 tokens plus 21 Bentley vouchers. Each voucher grants an additional 15 tokens upon redemption. If you max out to level 70, you'll receive an extra 400 tokens. Combined with the 50 vouchers redeemable for 500,000 BP, you can secure both the Continental GT Convertible and a base Flying Spur model, making it quite a worthwhile deal overall.
Because it was such a great deal, when the news broke that 85 pulls guaranteed the Continental GT Convertible, many suspected that the guaranteed reward for 85 pulls had been mixed up with the Bentley parachute available at 280 pulls. After all, the convertible skin is one of the most valuable items in this Bentley collaboration, so giving it away so easily seemed unbelievable. Some even posted screenshots in the official account's comment section, demanding the developers honor their word.
Of course, this is just everyone joking around and making memes, indicating that this Bentley collaboration is indeed very affordable.
At 16:30 on October 14, PUBG maintenance ended, and the PUBG x Bentley collaboration officially launched. Players who have saved enough BP can now log in and try their luck.
Alongside the collaboration content, PUBG version 43.2 update was also released. The most notable highlight is undoubtedly the launch of the fourth Survive Beyond Borders (SLB) mode. This cooperative PvE mode is titled "SLB: Rondo Daybreakers." Players must withstand waves of Infested attacks across Rondo, activate and defend capacitors, and send escape signals to flee the darkened Rondo.
In this SLB mode, the Infested have gained new attack methods and become more agile. Three previously unseen types of Infested have joined the fray. Among them, Shield Infested can block frontal attacks with their shields, requiring players to aim for their exposed heads or flank them to deal effective damage. Shooter Infested tend to keep their distance and attack remotely with firearms, needing priority elimination. Hound Infested resemble zombie dogs from games and movies; they are agile, low to the ground, and small, significantly increasing aiming difficulty... Undoubtedly, these new enemies will make the SLB mode more thrilling.
The "Daybreakers" event pass, accompanying the new SLB mode, was also released with the update. Players interested in cooperative PvE might want to team up with friends and enjoy some intense shooting against the Infested in Rondo.
Besides the Bentley collaboration and the new SLB mode, this update includes plenty of other content. For example, the message wheel menu and ping system have been optimized, adding practical quick messages like "Get in the car" and "Move out" to facilitate smoother communication among random teammates.
The game's vehicle spawn mechanics have also been adjusted. Now, normal and ranked matches on Erangel, Miramar, Taego, Vikendi, Deston, and Rondo will use the same vehicle types and spawn quantities. The spawn method for motor gliders has also been changed: two fueled gliders will now spawn at fixed locations on each map, while four unfueled gliders will spawn randomly across 20 different locations.
Additionally, the game's terrain destruction textures have been updated, and the functions of Blueprint Lab and Custom Matches have been improved... We won't go into further detail here; players can explore these updates firsthand in the game.
Alright, that's all I have to say. Now, I should take my newly acquired Bentley to my familiar spot at Erangel School. If you see a honking convertible Bentley driving by, please don't shoot me—I'm just out for a joyride.
