PUBG Launches Xeno Point — A Full Alien Invasion PvE Mode on Miramar

Miramar is no longer the dusty, sun‑baked battleground you remember. Something tore through the sky — a massive alien vessel called the Construct — and whatever crawled out of it is now overrunning the map. PUBG has officially gone full sci‑fi horror, and honestly? It kind of rules.

Welcome to Xeno Point, PUBG’s new cooperative PvE mode where you and up to three teammates fight your way through alien‑infested sectors, push toward the Mothership, and try to stop an invasion before the clock runs out.

This isn’t a limited‑time gimmick. It’s a full mode with progression, bosses, difficulty tiers, and a surprising amount of depth.

How Xeno Point Works

Your mission is simple on paper: Fight your way across Miramar, reach the Mothership, and take down the Architect leading the invasion.

In practice? It’s chaos.

You queue by heading to Play → Arcade → Xeno Point, and every run starts in the HUB — your safe-ish staging area. From there, you push into alien‑controlled sectors, clear them out, and return to the HUB to choose your next path.

Normal difficulty unlocks new sectors as you progress.
Hard and Impossible open nearly everything from the start, except the final boss sector.

Pick your route, pick your fights, and pray your squad doesn’t get wiped.

Missions, Waves, and Resetting Progress

Each sector throws a series of missions at you — objectives you complete while waves of Xenos try to tear you apart. Missions get harder the deeper you go.

If a teammate dies, you can revive them. If everyone dies, your run resets.

You keep:

Supers
Blue Chip Skills
Unspent Fragments and Skill Points

Everything else? Gone.

Teamwork Actually Matters Here

PUBG built Xeno Point around squad synergy. You can see your teammates’ vitals, gear tiers, Supers, and more — and you’re expected to use that info.

Coordinate Supers
Cover revives
Build complementary loadouts

If one person tries to lone‑wolf it, you’re all going back to the HUB in a body bag.

Supers and Blue Chip Skills

Supers are your big flashy abilities — think “sci‑fi ultimates” that recharge over time. Some get stronger when used together, so coordinating them is key.

You craft and upgrade Supers using Fragments at the HUB’s crafting station. The catch? The Super you get is random.

Blue Chip Skills are your passive boosts — stat bumps, combat perks, etc. These can be refunded and reallocated, letting you respec your build mid‑run.

Difficulty Tiers

There are three:

Normal
Hard
Impossible

To unlock the next tier, you must:

Beat the boss on your current difficulty
Buy the Difficulty Amplifier skill
Have every squad member do the same

Higher difficulties = better loot and higher‑tier gear.

Loot, Resources, and the Xeno Cannon

Killing enemies and completing missions earns you:

Skill Points
Fragments
Unique gear
Higher‑tier weapons with perks

The star of the show is the Xeno Cannon, a signature weapon that melts aliens with exclusive ammo. You’ll get more ammo from Sector Commanders and Fabricators.

Boss Fights and the Mothership

Every sector ends with a Sector Commander — a boss with its own mechanics and weaknesses. Learn the patterns, use the right Supers, and strike when they’re vulnerable.

Your final destination is the Mothership, where the Architect — the leader of the invasion — waits.

Beat them, and you save Miramar. Fail, and the Construct keeps spreading.
