PUBG Mobile is adding another gem to its majestic crown of killer collabs. The free-to-play battle royale game by Tencent is partnering with the trendsetting Medicom Toy to drop BE@RBRICK into the Battlegrounds and bring new features and gameplay. This collaboration also allows players to snag their own piece of the famed collectible.
Collaborations always bring something new to the table, and it is one of the reasons the game keeps attracting new players. From superheroes and anime characters to K-pop idols and luxury car brands, we have it all here in the Battlegrounds. By now, it’s clear that Tencent appreciates the player base and its melting pot of interests and cultures. Another thing that PUBG Mobile seems to take pride in is the creativity of its players, hence the occasional fan art contests and the recently added World of Wonders game mode.
In a way, you could say Medicom Toy’s BE@RBRICKS does the same in the sphere of streetwear, art, and design.
The BE@RBRICK was originally just a giveaway gift for the 2001 World Character Convention attendees. But after seeing how the toy’s simple, strange, and customizable nature served as a canvas for self-expression for different groups, CEO Tatsuhiko Akashi knew they were up to something good. Today, the BE@RBRICK is one of the most recognizable icons in art and design.
PUBG Mobile x BE@RBRICK Companions
With 8-square-kilometre maps like Miramar and Erangel, gunfights can be few and far between, and it gets lonely when you’re waiting for the perfect time to strike in a solo game. All that will change with the adorable BE@RBRICK companions this collab is bringing!
From left to right: Underworld Guide BE@RBRICK Buddy, Airdrop BE@RBRICK Buddy, Ghillie Suit BE@RBRICK Buddy, and Lv. 3 Helmet BE@RBRICK Buddy
Underworld Guide BE@RBRICK Buddy
If you missed out on the Underworld Guide Set featured briefly in October 2022, this is your chance to get it. Well, at least as a cute companion to share your journey with. The companion is covered with yellow tape, with the phrase “Winner Winner Chicken Dinner” written all over and a derpy stick face that gives it a playful character.
Airdrop BE@RBRICK Buddy
When you’re in the endgame, seeing an air drop’s red smoke is always a lovely sight (as long as there aren’t any contenders around). Imagine if the airdrop is a tiny toy bear trying to catch up to you. Everything about the Airdrop BE@RBRICK Buddy—from the neon lights to its adorable scurry—is a delight.
Ghillie Suit BE@RBRICK Buddy
There are countless strategies that you can use to win a PUBG Mobile game. If you like sniping people from afar, you’d love camping with the Ghillie Suit BE@RBRICK Buddy.
Lv. 3 Helmet BE@RBRICK Buddy
Inspired by the classic sole survivor look, the Lv. 3 Helmet BE@RBRICK Buddy wears the iconic white long-sleeved polo, jeans, necktie, and the Spetsnaz helmet.
Since this is a limited-time event, I can’t help but look forward to future reruns and new companions. Here are some characters that would make a good PUBG Mobile companion:
- Carlo is one of the few special PUBG Mobile characters. He’s a bounty hunter who’s skilled with a variety of weapons. I’m curious how they’ll make the small, lovable companions look dangerous like Carlo.
- There’s something hilarious about tiny companions carrying big guns. It would be fun to see a BE@RBRICK Buddy in a Rambo costume, complete with the red bandana, the bullet belts, and the machine gun.
- I know companions are just cosmetics designed to make your games more lively, but seeing a small Medic BE@RBRICK following me around and trying to keep me safe is enough reason to spend some UC.
