Now that the team behind PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has added Event Modes, much like Fortnite's LTMs, players of the chicken-flavored battle royale title have had even more of a reason to squad up and get into the game. Now that the Tequila Sunrise event has come and gone, it's time for a new experience - one that is infinitely more deadly.

Bluehole recently took to Steam to give players an update as to when they can get in on the action ... today! The event is now live and brings with it not only a fresh new challenge, but also implements that beloved respawn feature! Here's what you need to know before heading in, as per the developers:

War is PUBG's most deadly Event Mode yet. Join one of three 10-man squads to compete for dominance over a small slice of Erangel. Whenever you die, you'll reappear in a plane and plummet once again into the mayhem. First team to get 200 points wins. (Click HERE to see the promo video)
