PUBG: Black Budget is a first-person (FPP) tactical extraction shooter built around survival, tension, and the mysteries of a supernatural time loop. As a Contractor, players explore an abandoned research island, recover classified technology, and escape before the Anomaly collapses the loop.
Between missions, you will expand your Base, research artifacts, craft equipment, and progress through skills, proficiencies, and faction reputation.
