PUBG May 2023 Store Update: WackyJacky101, Pastel Goth, and Progressive SLR

I still remember the rush of opening the PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS Store in May 2023. It was the fifth Store update of that year, and it hit me with a mix of nostalgia, hype, and pure cosmetic temptation. Even now, in 2026, I can look back and see how that update shaped later rotations: the WackyJacky101 collaboration, the Pastel Goth Deadly Dollhouse collection, and a Progressive SLR skin that made Contraband Crates feel dangerous in the best way. If you missed it, here is my first-person walkthrough of what arrived, what it cost, and what it meant for players who care about style and value.

WackyJacky101 Brought the Wolf Pack 🐺

May's collaborative skin was with Partner WackyJacky101, and I immediately liked how it leaned into a rugged, wolfish identity. The Mega Bundle was the headline purchase for fans who wanted everything in one go.

Set	Price
WackyJacky101's Mega Bundle	3,700 G-COIN
WackyJacky101's Wolf Set	1,590 G-COIN
WackyJacky101's Set	1,040 G-COIN
WackyJacky101's Weapon Set	1,980 G-COIN
WackyJacky101's Gear Set	1,000 G-COIN

Bonus items in the Mega Bundle included the Wolf Mask, the Wiggle Boy emote, and a WackyJacky101 spray. On PC, sales ran from May 30 at 7 PM PDT through August 22 at 7 PM PDT, with CEST and KST equivalents. Console players got a slightly later start and end, from May 30 at 9 PM PDT through August 22 at 9 PM PDT. I remember telling friends that if they only bought one thing that month, the Wolf Set was the cleanest standalone pick.

Deadly Dollhouse: Pastel Goth Meets Sweet Nightmare 🎀

Then came the Deadly Dollhouse. The pitch was simple: a mixture of goth and sweet pastel colors, and I was absolutely here for it. The Pastel Goth Set, Cuddle Punk Set, and Fluffy Demon Set each had their own personality, but together they built a whole dollhouse of creepy-cute looks.

Set	Price
Deadly Dollhouse Mega Bundle	5,450 G-COIN
Pastel Goth Set	2,080 G-COIN
Cuddle Punk Set	2,080 G-COIN
Fluffy Demon Set	1,500 G-COIN
Deadly Dollhouse Gear Set	700 G-COIN
Deadly Dollhouse Emote Set	1,000 G-COIN

The Mega Bundle came with bonus items like Buttons - Pan, Cuddle Punk Parachute, Heartbleak charm, Deadly Dollhouse Jammer Pack, Celestial Wink nameplate, and Victory Dance 112. Individual pieces were also available, including the Pastel Goth Top, Skirt, and Boots; Cuddle Punk Mask, Dress, Gloves, and Leg Warmers; Fluffy Demon Jacket, Skirt, and Clogs; Sugar Rush Helmet Level 1; Pastel Goth Backpack Level 2; Nameplate Assembly Line; and Victory Dance 113 and 114. On PC, the collection lasted from May 16 after live server maintenance until November 7 at 6 PM PST, while console players had from May 24 until November 15 at 8 PM PST. That long window made it feel like a season-defining wardrobe rather than a quick flash sale.

The Progressive SLR and Contraband Crates 🔫

The Contraband Crates offered a perfect chance to complete the Pastel Goth look with a brand new [PROGRESSIVE] Deadly Dollhouse - SLR weapon skin. I remember opening crates with cautious optimism because a Progressive SLR was not just a cosmetic flex; it was a reason to actually use the SLR more often. The sales period ran on PC from May 16 after maintenance until August 30 at 7 PM PDT, and on console from May 24 until August 30 at 9 PM PDT.

G-COIN Boosters, Steampunk Rides, and Clan Identity 💰

If you needed extra G-COIN for all those bundles, May also brought limited G-COIN Boosters. Each could be purchased only once per account during the sales period, and Epic Games Store players had a visibility issue that temporarily prevented purchase.

Booster	Price	Base G-COIN	Bonus G-COIN
G-COIN BOOSTER I	$4.99	500	100
G-COIN BOOSTER II	$24.99	2,500	870
G-COIN BOOSTER III	$49.99	5,000	2,500

Steampunk-themed Special Vehicle skins also became a permanent rotating offer, with one always on sale. I liked that change because it gave vehicle collectors a steady target instead of a one-week panic buy. Clan Name Change and Clan Tag Change items also arrived at 990 G-COIN each. Only the Clan Master could use them, and changing a clan name granted a 7-day grace period for the previous name. They could not be traded, exchanged for BP, or salvaged, just like Nickname Change items.

Last Calls: Survivor Pass, Esports Skins, and Your Shop ⏳

May was also a month of goodbyes. The Survivor Pass: The Big Score Weapon & Level Pack cost 3,270 G-COIN, and the Weapon Pack cost 990 G-COIN. PC sales ended June 6 at 5 PM PDT, while console sales ended June 14 at 9 PM PDT. The commemorative PUBG Esports Global Partner Team skins for FaZe Clan, 17GAMING, Natus Vincere, and Petrichor Road were 1,550 G-COIN each with bonus gloves and sprays. Those ended on PC May 16 at 7 PM PDT and console May 16 at 9 PM PDT. Your Shop also temporarily closed at those same times, so I made sure to grab any discounted goods before they vanished.

The Preset Slot Coupon Overhaul and My 2026 Perspective 🧠

One of the most important non-cosmetic changes was the Preset Slot Coupon overhaul. With the May Store Update, Preset Slot Coupons were no longer available for purchase. Starting from the July update, unused coupons and coupons in use were replaced with G-COIN or BP.

Coupon Type	In Use	Unused
Multiple Preset Slot Coupon (30 days)	200 G-COIN per unfinished 30 days	200 G-COIN each
Single Preset Slot Coupon (7 days)	1,866 BP per unfinished 7 days	1,866 BP each

As of 2026, that conversion is long complete, and Preset Slot Coupons are a relic of an older PUBG economy. The items from May 2023 may still reappear through other in-game platforms like the Workshop, Your Shop, events, and promotions, so I always keep an eye out. For me, that Store update was a perfect snapshot of PUBG's cosmetic era: bold collaborations, dreamy goth aesthetics, a Progressive SLR worth chasing, and limited-time offers that rewarded players who paid attention. If you see any of these pieces rotate back in 2026, do not sleep on them.
