Unmissable PUBG Moments Explained

by Connor Dec 17,2025

PUBG is renowned for its intense gunfights, strategic flanks, and glorious chicken dinners. But veterans know the battlegrounds also deliver unpredictable moments of pure absurdity. Between glitches, bizarre physics, and outright mayhem, even the most serious match can become meme-worthy in seconds.

We've partnered with Eneba to revisit the most cursed PUBG moments permanently etched in our memories. Consider yourself warned.

When Vehicles Rebel Against Physics

We've all experienced it - cruising confidently in a buggy until an invisible bump sends you flying across Miramar. Or worse: your entire squad loading into a UAZ only for it to perform mid-air acrobatics, ejecting everyone to instant doom.

Sometimes it's not even glitches - just PUBG physics at its finest. Trucks flipping from pebble-sized rocks. Motorcycles achieving orbit after grazing a slight incline. These rage-inducing yet hilarious moments remain unforgettable - and no amount of skill can prevent them.

The Phantom Menace: Ghost Shots and Vanishing Enemies

Player getting knocked by invisible enemy

Few things feel more cursed than being downed by an enemy you never spotted. You've checked every angle, scanned all windows - yet suddenly you're bleeding out. Whether due to desync, lag, or PUBG's cruel whims, the result remains the same.

Even more infuriating? Perfectly lining up a shot, only for your target to vanish mid-scope like a ninja cloaked in packet loss.

Looting Roulette

The supposed calm before the storm often descends into loot chaos. You breach a building rich with gear, only to find your teammate hoarding every attachment while leaving you with a crowbar and half-used medkit.

Then there's becoming trapped in looting animations while enemies sneak up, or discovering care packages rigged with grenade surprises.

Skydiving Nightmares

While matches officially begin in the plane, the true madness starts after jumping. Mid-air collisions. Unplanned rooftop landings. Parachutes deploying too late - or failing entirely.

Who could forget entire squads landing directly on you during descent, transforming the game opening into an unarmed brawl before weapons even spawn?

Questionable Cosmetic Choices

While PUBG has delivered iconic skins, some... defy explanation. From nightmare-fuel clown masks to characters dressed as humanoid fish, certain outfits feel like sleep-deprived developer jokes.

Nothing prepares you for being ambushed by a pink bunny suit-clad enemy blasting K-pop emotes. For those wanting to embrace the madness, a PUBG top-up can secure the BP/UC needed - though we'd advise against the fish costume unless haunting killcams is your goal.

Embrace the Madness

These "cursed" moments aren't bugs - they're essential PUBG experiences. They disrupt tactical gameplay to remind us that beneath its competitive exterior lies a wonderfully chaotic sandbox. Whether from glitches, absurd deaths, or pure randomness, the unpredictability makes every match unforgettable.
