Unfail Mode Overview
Unfail Mode flips the script on PUBG's core loop, ditching massive squads for intimate 1v4. It's all about asymmetry: the Predator is a solo powerhouse—faster, tankier, and loaded with rage-fueled upgrades—while the four Survivors band together in a desperate bid for freedom.
The map for this mode is located at Mylta Power, packed with dimly lit corridors, flickering lights, and plenty of nooks to duck into or barricade.
Unfail Mode Gameplay
Before the match begins, Special Forces players can choose their faction—become the formidable Predator or join the multiplayer Survivors!
For Survivors, escaping isn't so straightforward. To flee, they must activate five terminals scattered across the map (out of a total of eight available terminals). Only after all five terminals are powered up will the escape gate open.
The Predator must utilize its immense strength and specialized skills to hunt down each survivor one by one before time runs out, thereby securing victory.
Unfail Mode also hides some unique mechanics that make this cat-and-mouse game even more thrilling:
- Reduced Movement Speed: Survivors move slower than in standard game modes, making escape more challenging.
- Auto Recall: Each survivor receives one auto recall upon elimination, granting them a second chance to challenge The Predator.
- Limited Resources: Survivors start with only five bullets. Additional ammunition can only be obtained by activating terminals.

The Predator Guide
In stark contrast to the survivors, the lone Predator possesses numerous formidable abilities that aid it in securing victory. The Predator can accumulate rage by attacking or knocking down survivors, leveling up to unlock powerful skills.
- Skill - Hook
Hook a survivor to pull them to you. If the hook hits an obstacle, you will pull yourself towards it.
- Skill - Slow Trap
The slow trap becomes invisible after it's deployed. When triggered, it explodes and slows survivors within range.
- Skill - Invisibility
After use, you gain temporary invisibility, allowing you to silently ambush your opponents.
To become the Predator that strikes fear into the hearts of other survivors, here are some essential tips you need to know:
- Wounded survivors leave footprints.
- When pursuing survivors, be mindful of interactive map objects that may cause complications.
- When a survivor activates a terminal, takes damage, or rescues a teammate, their position is briefly exposed, The Predator should seize this opportunity to skillfully eliminate survivors using his abilities.
- Before reaching Level 3, you can pick up downed survivors for quick executions or removal to prevent rescue attempts.
- Upon reaching Level 3, you gain the ability to execute survivors instantly. Even if survivors summon an exit portal, you still have the opportunity to defend and prevent their escape.
Survivors Guide
Facing the formidable Predator, the Survivors are not without a fighting chance. Survivors start with one random survival item:
- Jet Gauntlets: Speed boost after vaulting windows or flipping boards.
- AED Anti-Radiation: Full health restore on rescue, faster carry speed.
- Wrench: Faster terminal activation
Additionally, survivors can equip heart rate monitors to anticipate the Predator's location—a sudden spike in heart rate signals the Predator's approach, indicating it's time to evade pursuit.
When being hunted by The Predator, survivors can use the following tricks to temporarily escape:
- Flip Board
When The Predator approaches the plank, flipping it can briefly stun him.
- Hiding in distribution boxes
When hiding in distribution boxes, if The Predator misjudges your location, you can make a brief escape.
In addition, survivors can pick randomly spawning firearms to stun The Predator and escape. When injured, survivors can restore health using consumables or wild berries. (When injured, survivors leave footprints.)
*Pro tips: When three or more survivors successfully escape, the survivor faction wins; if only two escape, it is deemed a draw; and if only one or none escape, the predator wins. Therefore, for survivors, this is more a battle of teamwork than a solo effort.
Conclusion
Whew, that's Unfail Mode unpacked—whether you're the lone wolf Predator chaining traps for rage highs or the coordinated Survivor squad outsmarting the beast one QTE at a time, this mode nails that perfect blend of horror thrills and PUBG precision.
