PUBG Weapon Skin Update – How to find weapon skins?
There will be weapon skins for each weapon from PlayerUnknown’s that you as a player can equip. This is done through the customization menu. Weapon skins can be categorized as “Acquired”, “Equipped”, and “Tier”.
There are two ways to obtain weapon skins in PUBG:
- You can acquire skins by purchasing the “Triumph Crate” box. It is a weekly “random” crate. This means it joins the other crates in the pool and there is a 20% chance of receiving this crate. You will then need to open it with a key that you purchase on the Steam market.
- As a reminder, the drop rates of the crates are:
- Survivor 10%
- Wanderer 10%
- Biker 20%
- Desperado 10%
- Militia 20%
- Fever 10%
- Triumph (new) 20%
- As a reminder, the drop rates of the crates are:
- The second option is the “Raider Crate”, which can be exchanged for in-game currency BP. This crate does not belong to a pool that offers different crates but can be selected directly.

Gift Skin for SCAR-L
On March 23, 2016, PUBG launched in early access. From a game with a few testers in pre-alpha, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds quickly evolved into a game that broke multiple records and became a phenomenon in the gaming community.
The developers are grateful for the success of their game and your support. Therefore, they reward you with an exclusive weapon skin.
The weapon skin “Year One” for the SCAR-L is free for you. All you have to do is log in to PUBG. And that is until the first week of May when maintenance begins. Anyone who logs into PUBG only after that is unfortunately not eligible for the skin. So hurry up to secure this special skin.
The Year One skin for the SCAR-L is not tradable and cannot be destroyed.
Region Lock for PUBG Activated
Besides the new weapon skin system, there are changes to the server selection in PUBG. In recent months, calls for a region lock for China have been raised, which aims to restrict Chinese players to the Chinese servers.
The developers now present a solution that addresses the issue. They will now only display the servers that match the player’s region. Other servers will be hidden and not available.
However, this rule will be lifted if a player from an exclusive region like China teams up with a player from another region like EU or NA. As a team, both players see both servers and can choose from them.
