Event Mode: Public Beta - Flare Gun

Hey everyone,
Today we’re announcing something a little different for this week’s event mode. We’ve been gathering your feedback on the Flare Gun over the course of a few events and we’re finally ready to give it a proper test in a real environment to see if it fits within the normal PUBG atmosphere and make sure everything works properly. As this is a beta test, the event will run for 10 days instead of the normal weekend duration.
This event mode will mimic normal squad games, except that there will be a rare chance for the Flare Gun to spawn alongside normal loot. The goal here is to basically beta test the Flare Gun as normal PUBG loot with the intention to add it as a rare drop to normal games once the test concludes. As always, your feedback is essential to this process, so be sure to stop by our official forum thread and let us know your thoughts.
You can also check out our video below to learn more about this test.

Drop into this week's Event Mode and test out the Flare Gun. This event is intended to be a Beta test for the item. Should we bring the Flare Gun into the regular game setting?
