PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS' September 2022 Special and Partner Drops: McLaren, KRAFTON High Autumn Login, Bunny Pajama Party rewards.

Hello players! I’m writing this in 2026, but I’m taking you back to one of the busiest PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS event seasons I can remember: the September 2022 Special and Partner Drops cycle. The lobby’s Event page was practically pulling me by the sleeve, begging me to hit 'Join Event.' ... If you’re reading this now, treat the dates below as history, not as a live calendar. In 2026, always check the in-game Event page for current schedules. The structure, though? It still teaches you how KRAFTON likes to keep players logging in, shooting, and watching streams.

The McLaren Collaboration Kicked Things Off

The special collaborative event with McLaren started with a race-car roar. I remember heading to the McLaren announcement for mission details, rewards, and the event period. Let’s be real: crossover events like this are designed to make you feel fast even when you’re crouching in a bush. No sweat if you missed it in 2022—2026 events will have their own crossovers.

KRAFTON High: Autumn Login

Welcome to KRAFTON High. The main project was simple: log in consecutively every day, earn daily rewards, and prove you were the best honor student. The Event page turned login streaks into a report card.

Bunny Pajama Party

I finally got invited to the cool kids’ bunny party. The invitation said the theme was 'pajamas.' Complete daily missions, pick up the Bun Bun pajama set, and successfully join the party. The bunny party invitation winked at me every time I opened the event tab.

Crafting Boost

As a Workshop assistant, my mission was to gather Chests and Credits for a cranky crafter. The crafting boost was less about glamour and more about stockpiling.

  • Korea, China, and Thailand viewers received redeem codes instead of Drops due to their different streaming platforms.

What This Means in 2026

As a player in 2026, I look back at this 2022 cycle as a template: daily logins, mission points, team objectives, and stream drops. The dates are expired, so don’t try to redeem them now. Instead, open the current lobby Event page, press 'Join Event,' and check the live 2026 schedule. KRAFTON still loves consecutive logins, collaborative crossovers, and rewards that make you feel like an honor student. Have a nice Drops! 🎁
