Payload Mode is a game mode in PUBG Mobile. You can find it under the 'Unranked' tab.
Features[]
- As players play a match of payload, he/she will be in Erangel. It will start off as a normal match, but what is unique is that there are symbols of hearts everywhere on the mini map. Those towers are called Recall Towers. When a teammate is dead, you can recall and revive them at the nearest Recall Tower in your mini map. Remember to recall your teammates in time!
- Helicopter – The first aircraft in PUBG. Players can fly helicopters across the map. Passengers can open fire at enemies while in air. At high altitudes, you can use your parachute while exiting the helicopters but at low altitudes, you will just fall.
- Vehicle Repair Pack - An item used to repair vehicles and popped tires.
- Armored vehicles - The cars from Classic Mode are transformed in Payload such as UAZ gets flamethrowers, minigun turret and rocket launcher, Buggy gets minigun turret and flamethrowers ,and ability to move on water, Dacia gets flamethrowers and rocket launcher and Pickup gets flamethrowers, ability to move on water and a machine gun (probably based on M249 using 7.62mm)
- Armored helicopter - There's also another version of helicopters in this mode which are armored helicopters, a bit slower but high firepower like 40mm cannon and two miniguns
- Tanks - A new vehicle added in Payload 3.0 . Tanks spawn in chosen locations like Sosnovka, Pochinki and many more. Tanks come with main cannon which can bust players and vehicles and a 400-round machine gun for copilot. Note that if you jump to tank spawn like Pochinki or Sosnovka, a lot of players will jump there too.
- Fighter jet - A newer addition to Payload added in 3.3 update. It introduces aerial combat to PUBG, hence the first fixed wing vehicle in whole PUBG history. The fighter jets come with guided missiles, tracks down vehicles and autocannon, a high rate explosive machine gun used for dealing damage to players or tanks. There are limited ammo of missiles and autocannon which cannot be refilled: only 24 uses of missiles and 500 rounds of autocannon . Fighter jets also come with decoy flares in case of M3E1 A or another jet missile threat , only three uses of decoy flare. Only 5 of them spawn in Erangel, one near School, near Yasnaya and Mansion, west coast of Erangel and 2 of them in Sosnovka. Note that player activity is very high around fighter jet hangars in those locations.
- Super weapon crate – This crate contains super
heavy weapons like M3E1-A, MGLs, level 3 gear,M202 and top-tiered weapons. The location of the weapon crate will be marked on the map and as you approach the location, you will see the spot along with a timer. Once the timer ends, the crate will appear. Everyone will be notified when a crate spawns. Be rest assured that the appearance of the super weapon crate on the map is going to attract a lot of players to that location.
- Air Strike Beacon – Create your own mini red zone by marking an area with this beacon. After marking, the area will be then bombed by an airstrike. Make sure you don't stay too close to the area chosen to be bombed.
- UAV Control Terminal - Launch your own combat drone by your direction. After choosing the direction, a combat drone is summoned, you can shoot rockets it with but limited to 8 rockets. It's better to be covered with smokes while driving the combat drone. M3E1-A's and other weapons can destroy the combat drone. Only found in Super Weapon Bases.
