MCLAREN GT IN PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS

Grand touring will never be the same on a McLaren GT in PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS. The lightest and quickest accelerating grand tourer from the British automobile manufacturer McLaren Automotive will take you and your partner around the world in a fashionable manner.  

Born in Surrey, England, the GT features a 4-liter V8 turbocharged engine behind the passenger seat for ideal weight distribution. Talking about weight, weighing at just over 1,400 kg dry, the GT is a joy to drive. It is a supercar for an everyday driver.

The beauty of GT doesn’t end there. You can go to the Workshop to configure your one-and-only GT so that you can be the center of attention all day, every day. Choose from a variety of eleven stunning exterior colors, two sleek wheels, and five different colors of brake calipers on your GT’s state-of-the-art carbon ceramic brakes. 

So, McLaren GT is here in PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS. Go and make your own GT now!

VEHICLE SKIN SYSTEM UPDATE

A new system enabling you to choose special vehicle skins for a fancier experience has arrived!

  • You are now required to press certain keys to equip vehicle skins.

  • Two new categories have been added to vehicle skins: Basic Skins and Special Skins.

    • These categories have been added to your Customize – Vehicle page.

    • You can select one Basic Skin and one Special Skin to choose from when you’re in-game.

  • Keys for equipping vehicle skins have been changed to the following:

    • Use vehicle without equipping skin (Basic interaction key)

      • PC: F

      • Xbox/Stadia: X

      • PlayStation®: ▢

    • Equip vehicle skin (Limited Interact)

      • PC: H

      • Xbox/Stadia: LB + X

      • PlayStation®: L1 + ▢

      • Players who’ve been using the above keybindings for vehicle use will have to change their keybinding settings again after this update.

      • Console players must head over to their custom controller presets to customize their keybinds for equipping vehicle skins.

      • You may modify the keybindings, but you are unable to remove them entirely.

  • Equipping vehicle skins

    • The list of Basic and Special skins you’ve selected at Customize will pop up for you to select.

    • If you’ve selected only one skin (either category) at Customize, the vehicle will equip its skin immediately.

  • Vehicle skin equip effect

    • A special effect has been added to vehicles when equipping skin.

    • The effect will be canceled if:

      • The vehicle moves (driving, collision, friction, etc.)

      • A player gets in the vehicle

      • The player moves too far from the vehicle after interaction

      • The vehicle receives damage (tire damage included)

      • When another player selects another skin

    • If the effect is canceled, the vehicle will maintain its original appearance.

      • If the vehicle received damage during the effect, the damage will remain on the vehicle.

  • With the Roadster Motorcycle no longer a world spawn vehicle, the El Solitario Desert Wolves skin has been categorized as a Special Skin.
