Learn how to use the Flare Gun and call in special air drops like BRDMs or supply drops in PUBG: Battlegrounds. Master this special mechanic to gain a tactical advantage.

Hey there! So, you've stumbled upon something a bit different in PUBG: Battlegrounds – the Flare Gun. It's a pretty neat tool that lets you call in some serious support from the sky. Think of it as your personal air traffic control for getting awesome gear.

The Flare Gun and its special ammo are a bit of a hidden gem. When you find one, it's like getting a golden ticket to a special delivery. Here's the lowdown on how it works:

First off, you need to know about the special ammo. It's not your everyday bullet; it's specifically for the Flare Gun. Once you've got the gun and its ammo, you'll want to check your map. Look towards the bottom right of your screen – that's where you'll see indicators for available drops.

Now, what kind of goodies can you expect? You've got two main options. You can either call in a BRDM, which is a super tough armored vehicle that can really change the tide of a fight. Or, you can get a supply drop, similar to the ones you see from the regular air drops, but with a distinct yellow smoke instead of the usual red. Keep in mind, that yellow smoke doesn't stick around forever, so you'll need to act fast!

Here's the cool part: where you are when you fire that flare matters. If you're outside the safe zone (the shrinking circle), the plane will drop you a BRDM. Pretty handy for making a quick getaway or pushing into the next area. But, if you're already inside the safe zone when you fire the flare, you'll get a regular supply drop, packed with goodies just for you.

To actually call in these rewards, you just need to aim the Flare Gun straight up into the sky and fire away. It's that simple! This mechanic was explained by some awesome folks on Reddit, like "bedahtpro" and "Rev0verDrive," so shout out to them!

There's also another cool addition that involves calling the airplane, similar to the Flare Gun. While it could have been its own section, it fits right here under
