The luxury automotive world and battle royale gaming just got a little closer. PUBG: Battlegrounds has launched Update 43.2, and for KRAFTON, this one is all about high-end thrills—three Bentley vehicle skins plus a brand-new cooperative survival mode. It's a patch that blends fashion, function, and a different kind of firefight.
Dropped on November 13, 2026, the update gives console and PC players a reason to log back into Erangel and beyond. Whether you're a collector hunting rare cosmetics or a PvE fan looking for a more structured siege, this release has multiple entry points.
The centerpiece of the update is the Bentley collaboration. KRAFTON has created three vehicle skins that aren't just paint jobs—they're model-specific recreations. The team based the designs on the Flying Spur Mulliner and the Continental GTC Mulliner, with the sedan getting two variants: “Flying Spur Mulliner (Luxe)” and “Flying Spur Mulliner.” The sports car crowd gets the “Continental GTC Mulliner.”
What makes these skins feel premium is the attention to functional details. The panoramic sunroof on the Flying Spur has been recreated, and the Continental GTC Mulliner’s folding soft top appears when you’d expect it. Dedicated engine start sounds, driving audio, and even horn tones were tuned to match the real cars. This is not just a static texture swap—it's an attempt to make every drive feel like a showroom test.
There are also exclusive customization items that go beyond the basic skin. Players can tweak exterior colors, interior trim, paint types, and license plates. Those pieces drop alongside the “Crafter Pass: Bentley,” a limited-time progression track that lets players earn and unlock these luxury extras.
If you're into lobby flexes, the “PUBG x Bentley Collaboration Event” has a reward worth chasing. By completing vehicle skin equip missions, you can unlock the custom lobby skin “Grand Library.” The theme is clearly aimed at creating a refined, polished space before the chaos starts.
Update 43.2 also brings the fourth installment of the “Survivors Left Behind” mode to Arcade. It's called “SLB: DAWNBREAKERS OF RONDO” and it flips the core PUBG formula upside down. Instead of outlasting rivals, you and up to three teammates are fighting together.
This isn't a simple horde mode. KRAFTON, working alongside People Can Fly, has built a mission-based system that forces coordination. Waves of enemies called “Hungers” swarm across the Rondo map, and you'll need to complete objectives while surviving the pressure. Scavenging is key—players must search for materials to craft weapons, items, and deployables. Generator and capacitor systems need to be powered up, adding a strategic layer beyond pure gunplay.
The goal is escape, but there's no easy exit. The mode requires resource management and a balanced squad. If someone goes down and the rest of the team fails to react, the run can fall apart fast.
For those eager to jump in, note the platform timing. PC players can access the mode until November 4. Wait—that's already passed by the time this article is being written. Console players have a fresh window, with the mode running from the 22nd to November 12. So if you're on PC, you'll need to hop in now before the servers close. Console players should block out their calendar for the late-November window.
Creative mode fans have something to check out as well. PUBG: PLAYGROUNDS is now showcasing winning entries from a global UGC contest that KRAFTON ran in partnership with CurseForge. Those community-made modes will be rotated in sequentially from October through December. That means over the next few weeks, players will get to try different custom twists on the standard battle royale ruleset.
This is a smart move for PUBG. User-generated content keeps a game ecosystem alive between big seasonal drops, and by putting those modes directly into the PLAYGROUNDS rotation, KRAFTON gives creators a real audience. If one of those modes pops off, it could easily inspire a permanent addition later.
Aside from the headline features, the patch also includes a batch of smaller improvements. Console controller control schemes have been reworked, which should make aiming and inventory navigation feel tighter. Custom match tools got quality-of-life upgrades for players running private lobbies. Loot and supply drops have also seen a pass to improve the overall match experience.
On the cosmetics side, the new Survivor Pass is called “The Villains.” It's live now, and as usual, it offers a mix of themed gear, parachute skins, emotes, and other extras. The villain theme fits the darker tone that PUBG has leaned into with recent updates.
There's a strategic layer to this Bend It Like Bentley partnership that isn't just about aesthetics. PUBG has been steadily experimenting with automotive tie-ins over the years, and this one feels more deliberate than typical crossovers. The vehicle skins come with bespoke sounds and visual details, which signals that KRAFTON sees vehicles as a core part of player identity, not just transportation.
Seasoned players know that car skins are high-visibility items. In a game where you're constantly driving toward the white circle, your vehicle is often the first thing teammates see. A Bentley skin transforms a mundane rotation into a statement. That kind of self-expression is why the community keeps spending on these limited drops.
The collaboration trailer also adds another layer—it features a track co-produced with BEATPELLA HOUSE, the global beatbox crew. Music collabs in gaming announcements are common now, but KRAFTON's choice of beatboxing over traditional electronic or hip-hop cuts is a fresh angle. It pushes the crossover beyond just car models and into broader pop culture territory.
PUBG's Update 43.2 isn't a one-off. With the UGC modes rolling in through December, the Bentley event running on a limited schedule, and the console timing for SlB shifting, the next few weeks will be busy for players tracking daily missions.
Expect the game's economy to continue pushing limited cosmetics. The Crafter Pass model is clearly working for KRAFTON, though some free-to-play players will have to decide how much they want the luxury look. If you're on the fence, check the official PUBG community forum for the full patch notes—there may be small balance tweaks tucked away that don't make the marketing headlines.
For now, whether you're grinding for the Grand Library lobby or testing your squad against the Hungers, Update 43.2 makes good on its promise: adding style and substance to PUBG at the same time.
