In PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds there are Supply Crates, called loot boxes, which are occasionally dropped by an airplane. Those who catch them can look forward to better weapons and gear. As a PR stunt for the release of PUBG on Xbox One, the developers are now distributing real loot boxes in Australia!
When an airplane is heard in the battle royale shooter PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, there will soon be deaths. The plane drops a loot box full of weapons and gear somewhere on the map, and countless players rush there to grab the loot. This inevitably leads to a massive slaughter, as some players lie in wait for the loot seekers or they fight at the box on the spot.
Hopefully, such a thing does not happen in Australia, as real loot boxes are to be dropped there soon.
At the start of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds on Xbox One, there are special Supply Crates in real life!
In the Australian regions around Melbourne, Brisbane, and Sydney, the developers of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds will drop real supply drops on December 9 as a PR stunt for the upcoming Xbox One release. These “real loot boxes” contain 25 awesome prizes, including “Xbox One X” consoles, Elite Controllers, Xbox Live codes, PUBG loot, and PUBG game keys.
On the Facebook page of Xbox Australia, it will be announced in advance where a box can be found. Those who have a special code and mention it to the Microsoft employee on site can open the box and take the loot. The matching codes will also be available on the Facebook page.
Let’s just hope that PUBG fans aren’t so much in the mood of the game that they grab the frying pan and act like in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds when multiple players arrive at a loot box at the same time.
The crazy PR stunt is only supposed to take place in Australia.
In December, PUBG will be released for Xbox One – Are you already waiting for the release?
