PUBG's April Store Update Revisited: Comic Chaos, Ducati, and W.I.A. Highlights

Fast forward to 2026, and PUBG: Battlegrounds veterans still tip their hats 🎩 to the April 2024 Store update. It was one of those rare drops that truly hit the sweet spot, blending a comic-flavored Survivor Pass, Ducati-branded cosmetics, Global Partner Team gear, and a playful W.I.A collaboration. While the original sales windows have long since closed, many of these items have reappeared through the Workshop, Your Shop, and assorted in-game events, so the hype never really fizzled out.

🎨 A Comic Chaos Blast from the Past

The headline act was the Comic Chaos Survivor Pass. Players were able to level up, unlock rewards, and dive headfirst into a nostalgic, comic-inspired universe. The pass leaned into bold outlines, loud colors, and over-the-top action, making it a proper blast from the past. To sweeten the deal, the developers shipped a batch of quality-of-life improvements for the Pass lobby and rewards system.

Quality-of-Life Upgrades

• A single click on the mission area within the Pass lobby banner took players straight to the mission page.

• A new yellow dot notification kept players in the loop on fresh weekly missions.

• A confirmation dialogue popped up when claiming rewards, cutting down on accidental clicks.

• Entering the rewards page automatically highlighted the highest available reward track.

• A bulk claim feature arrived for snapping up multiple rewards at once.

The reward structure also got a serious shot in the arm. The 20% BP Boost became a free reward for all players, while Premium Pass holders received an additional 30% BP Boost. Players who skipped the upgrade could still earn an outfit set and 100 G-COIN without spending a dime. Premium Pass owners also gained a Polymer (x600) reward, and from level 30 onward, every level-up granted an extra 1500 BP.

PC players got in on the action from April 9 after live server maintenance through May 7 at 12 AM UTC. Console players followed on April 18 after live server maintenance through May 16 at 1 AM UTC. Due to legal regulations, the Survivor Pass was not available for purchase in Belgium and the Netherlands.

🏍️ Ride Ducati, Fight Boldly

The Ducati collaboration was another showstopper. Players could collect Ducati Tokens to craft items that screamed style, sophistication, and performance. It was a match made in heaven for motorcycle fans and Battle Royale grinders alike. The full breakdown arrived through a separate Ducati announcement, but the storefront already gave the community plenty to rev about.

🌍 Global Partner Team Goods

The first batch of weapon skins and animated Nameplate skins featuring 17GAMING, Gen.G, and FaZe Clan hit the shelves. Fans were told to hold tight, because bundles from other Global Partner Teams were slated for upcoming Store updates. This turned the Partner Team section into a must-watch corner of the store.

🐰🐻 W.I.A: Dress to Kill

The latest collaboration with W.I.A encouraged players to either embrace their bouncy rabbit side or a formidable bear attitude. It was a playful twist that gave the wardrobe some character. The W.I.A set enjoyed an unusually long sales window, running from late April to the end of the year on both platforms.

🔫 AUG Bumper Blaster: A Colorful Comeback

The AUG made a comeback, sporting the new Bumper Blaster progressive weapon skin. It was not just colorful; it also brought along a Purple Pink Chroma spectacle that quickly became a collector’s favorite. The new items included [PROGRESSIVE] Bumper Blaster - AUG and [CHROMA] Bumper Blaster - AUG (Purple Pink). As always, probabilities for items obtainable from Contraband Crates could be found on the Hideout - Contraband - More Details - Probability to acquire page.

All in all, the April 2024 Store update was a heavy hitter. Even in 2026, many of these cosmetics still pop up in rotation, so players who missed the boat can keep an eye on other in-game platforms. For those who were there, it remains an oldie but goodie—proof that PUBG knows how to mix nostalgia with fresh flavors. Happy hunting out there.
