PUBG Mobile features several in-game currencies, but the most valuable one is UC (Unknown Cash). This premium currency is used to purchase just about everything in the game, including the rarest and most valuable items. Under normal circumstances, you can purchase UC with real money from the in-game store. However, there are other ways to obtain it: yes, it is actually possible to get free PUBG UC, and there are completely legitimate ways to do so. Here, we’ll cover all of them, discuss what you need to know, and also explain what you should avoid.

Getting UC via Subscription

PUBG Mobile offers two subscription plans: Prime and Prime Plus. With both plans, in addition to many other benefits, you can earn a certain amount of UC for free each month (without paying anything beyond the subscription fee). For the Prime subscription, this amount is 150 UC per month, while for the Prime Plus subscription, it can be as high as 900 UC.


Of course, you pay a subscription fee (the amount varies by region), but this is a more advantageous option compared to purchasing UC directly from the in-game store because you gain access to many other perks. In the long run, for example, with a Prime Plus subscription, you can earn up to 1,440 UC per month, and when you factor in the daily deals you can take advantage of, the value of this subscription increases even further.

If you want to earn UC regularly, a Prime or Prime Plus subscription is the most efficient, safest, and fastest way to do so: we recommend starting with this option first.

TIP Before purchasing a UC subscription, check out the Elite Royale Pass. If the Pass already includes the items you want to buy with UC, purchasing the Pass itself will likely be more cost-effective.

Getting UC via In-Game Missions and Events

Check the PUBG Mobile event page often. From time to time, you’ll notice that some daily missions and challenge missions offer free UC. This isn’t something you’ll come across very often, so you can’t rely on this as a regular source of UC. However, you can still earn a small amount of UC by completing relatively simple tasks, especially during holiday seasons. Be sure to check the Weekly Sign-In rewards during these seasons as well: you might find that they offer free UC too.


Redeeming Codes and Giveaways

By following verified streamers and PUBG Mobile’s official accounts (Facebook, Instagram, Discord, X), you may occasionally come across codes or giveaways that let you redeem free UC. Once again, this isn’t a consistent source of UC, and the amount you’ll receive won’t be very large, but your chances of finding these codes during seasons like Christmas, Halloween, and Easter are quite high.

The most important thing to watch out for in streamer giveaways is to make sure they’re hosted by a verified streamer. Otherwise, you’ll waste your time and likely get scammed. So don’t trust every streamer who claims to give away free UC: such giveaways must be organized or approved by Krafton & Level Infinite.


Getting UC via Tournaments

If you think you’re good at PUBG Mobile, you can put your skills to the test in a tournament and win free UC as a prize. Tournaments for this game are held almost constantly, both locally and internationally; some are official, while others are organized by esports organizations. In any case, the prize is either fiat currency or UC: if you’re good enough, you can win one of these simply by showcasing your skills; and in most cases, without even leaving your home.


Risks and Things You Should Definitely Avoid

  • Don’t believe anyone who claims they can convert your AG into UC. That’s simply not possible.
  • If you’re asked to enter your game credentials (username & password) to receive free UC, you’re being scammed. Do not do this under any circumstances.
  • There is no such thing as a “UC generator”. You can probably guess why this isn’t possible. If you’ve downloaded an app or program claiming to do this, your device has been infected with malware: remove it immediately.
  • It is technically possible to purchase UC from third-party websites. This option is slightly cheaper than the official in-game store. These sites exploit regional pricing by purchasing UC from regions where it’s cheaper and reselling it to other regions. This is a risky method; there’s no guarantee it will work, and it could even lead to your game account being banned. Don’t take this risk just to save a little money.

There is no method that will allow you to consistently and regularly obtain PUBG Mobile UC without paying a single cent. Ultimately, UC is one of the reasons the game itself is free: developers generate revenue from it, and if there were a “secret” to obtaining this currency completely for free, there wouldn’t be a game called PUBG Mobile. Chasing codes and giveaways during specific periods and completing in-game tasks when they’re active is the only thing you can do if you want free UC.

As always, play PUBG Mobile on PC with BlueStacks for a more enjoyable and seamless experience!
