Grand touring will never be the same on a McLaren GT in PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS. The lightest and quickest accelerating grand tourer from the British automobile manufacturer McLaren Automotive will take you and your partner around the world in a fashionable manner.
Born in Surrey, England, the GT features a 4-liter V8 turbocharged engine behind the passenger seat for ideal weight distribution. Talking about weight, weighing at just over 1,400 kg dry, the GT is a joy to drive. It is a supercar for an everyday driver.
The beauty of GT doesn’t end there. You can go to the Workshop to configure your one-and-only GT so that you can be the center of attention all day, every day. Choose from a variety of eleven stunning exterior colors, two sleek wheels, and five different colors of brake calipers on your GT’s state-of-the-art carbon ceramic brakes.
So, McLaren GT is here in PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS. Go and make your own GT now!
Vehicle Skin System Update
A new system enabling you to choose special vehicle skins for a fancier experience has arrived!
You are now required to press certain keys to equip vehicle skins.
Two new categories have been added to vehicle skins: Basic Skins and Special Skins.
These categories have been added to your Customize – Vehicle page.
You can select one Basic Skin and one Special Skin to choose from when you’re in-game.
Keys for equipping vehicle skins have been changed to the following:
Use vehicle without equipping skin (Basic interaction key)
PC: F
Xbox/Stadia: X
PlayStation®: ▢
Equip vehicle skin (Limited Interact)
PC: H
Xbox/Stadia: LB + X
PlayStation®: L1 + ▢
Players who’ve been using the above keybindings for vehicle use will have to change their keybinding settings again after this update.
Console players must head over to their custom controller presets to customize their keybinds for equipping vehicle skins.
You may modify the keybindings, but you are unable to remove them entirely.
Equipping vehicle skins
The list of Basic and Special skins you’ve selected at Customize will pop up for you to select.
If you’ve selected only one skin (either category) at Customize, the vehicle will equip its skin immediately.
Vehicle skin equip effect
A special effect has been added to vehicles when equipping skin.
The effect will be canceled if:
The vehicle moves (driving, collision, friction, etc.)
A player gets in the vehicle
The player moves too far from the vehicle after interaction
The vehicle receives damage (tire damage included)
When another player selects another skin
If the effect is canceled, the vehicle will maintain its original appearance.
If the vehicle received damage during the effect, the damage will remain on the vehicle.
With the Roadster Motorcycle no longer a world spawn vehicle, the El Solitario Desert Wolves skin has been categorized as a Special Skin.
Collaboration: McLaren
McLaren is here at PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS.

Only the player who opens the container and/or their teammates can ride and drive the McLaren vehicle.
