Krafton has opened the eleventh PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS Store Update of 2026, a November rollout that combines a high-profile IVE collaboration, a new progressive Mini14 skin family, and a PGC 2026-themed Event Pass. The publisher framed the drop as a multi-part seasonal package rather than a single item release, with PC and console players receiving staggered access windows. The update arrives less like a single shipment and more like a stage crew changing the set between acts while the house lights are still up: the storefront, the Contraband Crate, the Scrap Broker, and the event calendar all shift in the same beat.

The PUBG x IVE collaboration is the update’s marquee attraction. Krafton directed players to the dedicated PUBG x IVE collaboration announcement for full details, positioning the partnership as an “unstoppable” crossover rather than a routine cosmetic tie-in. The collaboration items sit alongside the November Contraband Crate and the PGC 2026 Event Pass, giving the update a three-pronged identity: pop-culture crossover, weapon-skin progression, and tournament celebration.

🎯 Contraband Crate: A Mini14 With Ten Steps

November’s Contraband Crate introduces new Progressive Weapon Skins and Chroma for the Mini14. The crate’s item probabilities are listed in-game under Hideout - Contraband - More Details - View Probabilities, a detail Krafton included to keep the odds transparent for players evaluating the crate.

The centerpiece weapon skin is Cute Aggression - Mini14, a Max Level 10 progressive skin. Its ten-level progression reads like a tide chart rather than a ladder: each level marks a new watermark of visual escalation, from base cosmetics to a final kill effect. The level-by-level breakdown is as follows.

Level Unlock
1 Base Skin Cosmetics
2 Headshot Kills BattleStat
3 Inspect Weapon Animation
4 Magazine / Muzzle Skin
5 Uncommon Skin Cosmetics
6 Killfeed Skin
7 Scope Skin
8 Loot Crate Skin
9 Rare Skin Cosmetics
10 Kill Effect

Krafton also confirmed a first-purchase discount: Cute Aggression - Contraband Crate (Open 10) offers a 1,000 G-Coin reduction on the first purchase. The Contraband Crate’s sales window runs on PC from November 4, after live server maintenance, through April 7, 2027, at 00:00 UTC. On console, the window opens November 12, after live server maintenance, and closes April 15, 2027, at 00:00 UTC.

🧩 Scrap Broker and the Sales Calendar

The Scrap Broker section adds two new entries: Cute Aggression - Mini14 and Cute Aggression - Mini14 (Pink White). The Pink White version gives the progressive skin family a Chroma-style alternative, broadening the visual range beyond the base Cute Aggression presentation. Both Scrap Broker items share the same PC and console sales periods as the Contraband Crate offering.

Offering PC (UTC) Console (UTC)
Cute Aggression - Contraband Crate November 4, after live server maintenance - April 7, 2027, 00:00 November 12, after live server maintenance - April 15, 2027, 00:00
Cute Aggression - Mini14 / Pink White November 4, after live server maintenance - April 7, 2027, 00:00 November 12, after live server maintenance - April 15, 2027, 00:00

Krafton noted that all featured items may become available again at a later date through the Workshop, Your Shop, or other in-game features, as well as various events and promotions. The publisher also stated that the sales periods shown are subject to change. That caveat matters in a live-service shooter where storefront timing can shift with maintenance schedules and regional rollouts.

🏆 PGC 2026 Event Pass and Collaboration Policy

The update also celebrates the upcoming PGC 2026 with a new Event Pass and PGC 2026-themed items. The Event Pass behaves like a passport stamped at tournament milestones, not a simple shopping list: it ties the store update to the competitive calendar and gives players a themed progression path around the PUBG Global Championship. Krafton lists a UTC sales period for the Event Pass and repeats that all featured items may return later through in-game features, events, and promotions.

⚠️ The publisher attached a specific usage warning to the collaboration products. Images, videos, or posts created with these collaboration items in a way that is not supported by in-game features or not recommended may be deleted, or requested to be deleted, without the user’s consent if management determines they do not meet the collaboration’s purpose and intent. Krafton cited Articles 3, 6, and 18 of the PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS Terms of Service, adding that severity may lead to sanctions against game use under Article 5 of the Rules of Conduct.

For players tracking the November storefront, the update’s structure is clear: IVE brings the crossover spotlight, the Cute Aggression Mini14 supplies the long-tail progression chase, the Pink White variant adds a Chroma option through the Scrap Broker, and the PGC 2026 Event Pass connects the whole drop to the tournament season. Krafton’s eleventh Store Update of 2026 is therefore less a single headline item and more a coordinated seasonal push, with PC and console players able to enter the sales windows on separate maintenance-driven schedules.
