PUBG has released a new LABS mode titled Faction Warmode. PUBG Labs is an experimental system utilized by PUBG to try out new game features and modes before they’re ready for regular matches. Faction Warmode is currently available for players to test out.

What is Faction Warmode?

Faction Warmode is a team vs team (8v8) match that plays on the map Sanhok. In Warmode, you’re able to form your own eight-person party before jumping in, so be sure to round-up your friends. In preparation for the game mode, you choose your own ‘Spawn Kits’ that each has its personalized loadout. The mission is to work together with your team to earn points by eliminating enemies within the map zone. Faction Warmode draws comparisons to the Team Deathmatch mode available to play within the Arcade mode of PUBG.
