Combat Centered Around the Crypt
Enjoy the widely-known bomb mission rules, featured in various games, in top-down view with PUBG: BLINDSPOT.
Your team’s mission is to hack into the hidden Crypt within the building by installing a Decrypter. Use grenade launchers and explosive hammers to break through walls and defenses to reach the Crypt or ambush the enemy.
Or you can be the defending team blocking the enemies from reaching the Crypt and installing the Decrypter by blocking doors, setting up barricades to bar access.
When the Decrypter is activated, the crypt will change from blue to red, signaling that it has been hacked. The Crypt is used to control the Blue Chip. What could happen if it gets compromised?
Deep CQB Cooperative Tactics
In modern warfare, indoor gunfights, or CQB (Close-quarters Battle), are based on disrupting the enemy’s line of sight, securing your view quickly, and attacking before the enemy notices you.
PUBG: BLINDSPOT presents real-time line of sight shared with your teammates, which creates immediate, non-verbal cooperation, allowing you to experience fast-paced CQB combat with your teammates in real-time against actual players.
Unique Characters and Specialized Gadgets
The characters in PUBG: BLINDSPOT each have their preferred weapons and distinctive gadgets.
You will see familiar weapons such as the Mk14, AWM, and P90, and a variety of unique gadgets like Blue Zone grenades, recon drones, grenade launchers, and proximity explosives. And of course, staple throwable items like flashbangs and smoke grenades make an appearance.
