"It's time to embrace your inner mutant" because a new Event Mode is now live for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds players on Steam!

This week's War Mode offers a unique play experience for a limited amount of time. The team over at BlueHole Inc recently took to their Steam blog to clue fans in on the specifics of the new mode, as well as when they can hop in queue.

"This week's War Mode event is Mutant Mayhem, which loads out players with the brand new Mk47 Mutant Assault Rifle for some evening desert action. Care packages are disabled, meaning that Mutant at your side is your first and best option."

It gives players a chance to try out the latest weapon in a high-impact gamestyle to really test those limits. Interested in partaking? It's going on right now for a short period of time. Here's what you need to know before jumping into Mutant Mayhem:
