The world of PUBG MOBILE has just fundamentally changed, moving beyond the familiar 100-player battle royale formula with the launch of UNFAIL, its first asymmetrical Player-vs-Player (PVP) mode. Following a successful preview, this thrilling new format pits one powerful Predator against four desperate Survivors in a tense game of pursuit and escape. Available now, UNFAIL injects elements of horror, teamwork, and quick thinking into the classic PUBG MOBILE experience.
The Hunt Begins: Predator vs. Survivors
UNFAIL takes place within the reimagined and abandoned nuclear power plant of Mylta Power on the Erangel map. Years after a leak, the plant is now overgrown and shrouded in tension, serving as the perfect arena for this 1v4 showdown.
The core mission is simple yet perilous:
- Survivors: Must work together to activate five terminals scattered across the map to open the final exit gates and escape.
- Predator: Wins by eliminating all four Survivors or preventing enough of them from escaping before the time runs out.
The mode immediately flips the script on traditional PUBG MOBILE gameplay, emphasizing strategic cooperation and movement over pure gun skill.
The Power of the Predator and Survivor Ingenuity
The lone Predator is a mutated electrician equipped with a formidable arsenal of signature skills designed to stalk and overwhelm the Survivors. These abilities completely alter the flow of pursuit:
- Signature Skills: The Predator can pull in opponents with a hook attack, slow their movement with invisible traps that explode upon contact, and use a Stealth Mode to turn invisible for temporary, silent ambushes.
- Elimination: Eliminating a Survivor is not instantaneous; the Predator must capture and finish a downed opponent, giving teammates tense opportunities for a clutch rescue.
Survivors are not defenseless, relying on teamwork and the dynamic environment. The map is packed with interactive objects that can be used to break line of sight and buy precious seconds:
- Interactive Objects: Survivors can take cover behind flipping pallets to briefly stun the Predator, hide in distribution boxes for a stealthy escape, or use fire extinguishers to obscure the Predator’s vision with smoke.
- Specialized Items: Collectible items found in the environment, like Jet Gauntlets (for speed boosts after vaulting), AEDs (for faster rescues), and Wrenches (for quicker terminal repairs), reward coordinated efforts.
- Psychological Edge: The mode introduces a directional ECG-inspired heart rate display for Survivors. A sudden spike in this heart rate indicator provides a critical non-visual warning that the Predator is approaching, adding intense psychological tension to every chase.
The scoring system tracks both individual and team performance, with a win condition that demands group effort: the Survivor faction only wins if three or more players successfully escape. This makes every action, from activating a terminal to rescuing a downed teammate, a high-stakes, collective encounter.
The PUBG MOBILE UNFAIL mode is available now, delivering a thrilling pursuit-and-escape challenge that dramatically expands the game’s competitive possibilities.
