All you have to do is stay alive in a separate &#8220;Comeback Arena&#8221; for a certain amount of time. It sounds pretty similar to Call of Duty: Warzone&#8217;s Gulag, except it&#8217;s more like another mini battle royale rather than a one-on-one battle to the death. Players who survive are reintroduced to the main game in phase three of the match, complete with all their items and gear. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/articles\/2021-06-30-pubgs-new-taego-map-has-a-gulag-style-second-chance-system\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/articles\/2021-06-30-pubgs-new-taego-map-has-a-gulag-style-second-chance-system\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PUBG&#8217;s much-teased Taego map has finally arrived on PC test servers, bringing with it some new features including self-revives and a special &#8220;second chance&#8221; mechanic.
