PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds leads to absurd and funny situations time and again. For example, when players agree to a gigantic death race.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds usually revolves around the brutal struggle for survival of individual players or small teams against the rest of the world. Those who remain at the end can look forward to a chicken dinner and reward points. For those who find the brutal gunfire and slaughter for the chicken meal too boring, they simply invent new game modes, such as “Death Race”.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds as a deadly car race
The YouTuber StoneMountain64 captured such a death race during a stream. Teams of players gathered with all kinds of stolen cars, buggies, and motorcycles at the eastern bridge on the island with the military base in the south. The goal is to drive completely around the island and cross the western bridge at the end.
To prevent the death race from immediately descending into a violence orgy, there were rules:
- All players may only use pistols
- Only after crossing the first bridge can shooting commence
- If you lose your vehicle, you can set up roadblocks and ambush other players to shoot them out of their vehicles and steal them
- Roadblocks may block a maximum of half the road
PlayerUnknown’s Death-Race – A blast thanks to absurd vehicle physics!
In the video from stoneMountain64, you can clearly see what a blast this “Death Race” is. This is partly due to the absurd vehicle physics in the game. The cars and motorcycles in PUBG are notoriously sensitive and can flip even on relatively gentle curves, tumbling down slopes helplessly.
Nevertheless, or especially because of the funny driving physics, such races are probably a lot of fun. So far, such antics have only been possible unofficially with a sworn player group. But who knows, maybe someday there will be a dedicated Death Race mode for racing and shooting enthusiasts in PUBG?
