PUBG Mobile A16 Royale Pass: Winter Eclipse & Icy World Rewards
Survive the Cold with the A16 Royale Pass
Winter has arrived in PUBG Mobile with the Version 4.1 update, bringing the "Icy World" theme to Erangel. Along with the map changes comes the brand new A16 Royale Pass (RP). Running from mid-November 2025 to January 2026, this pass is packed with frost-themed goodies that are worth grinding for.
If you are debating whether to upgrade to the Elite Pass, let's look at the exclusive rewards you will unlock.
Top Rewards in A16 RP
The A16 pass follows the modern 100-level format. Here are the highlights:
Level 1: Snow Assassin Set
As soon as you buy the pass, you unlock a sleek, white and blue tactical outfit perfect for blending into the snowy areas of Vikendi or the new Icy World mode.
Level 50: Upgradable Pistol/Melee Skin
This season features a unique finish for the VSS (an underrated weapon for winter maps) and a stunning ice-pick melee weapon skin.
Level 100: The Mythic Set
The final reward is the "Cryonix Wraith" Mythic set. It features dynamic color-changing textures that shift from deep blue to icy white. It is one of the best-looking Level 100 skins we have seen this year.
The Winter Eclipse Event: MP5K Lab Skin
Apart from the RP, the "Winter Eclipse" Lucky Spin is live. The grand prize is the upgradable MP5K skin.
* Basic Appearance: Wrapped in bandages and frost.
* Advanced Form: The gun creates a mini blizzard effect around the muzzle.
* Loot Crate: Turns the enemy's death box into a frozen ice sculpture.
To fully upgrade this weapon, you will need "Paint" and "Materials," which can be costly. This is strictly for players who want to flex in the lobby.
Is the Elite Pass Worth It?
For 360 UC (or 720 UC for the Elite Pass Plus), the A16 RP gives you back 360 UC if you reach the max level. Essentially, if you play enough, the pass pays for itself for the next season.
* Value: You get over 30,000 UC worth of skins, emotes, and avatars for a one-time purchase.
* Perks: Elite Pass Plus buyers get an instant 24-rank boost, which is great if you started the season late.
How to Get Cheaper UC for the Pass
If you don't have enough UC in your account, don't rush to buy the smallest pack.
1. Region Pricing: Some regions offer better UC rates.
2. Authorized Resellers: Buying UC codes (E-PINs) from trusted third-party sites is often cheaper than direct in-app purchases due to currency exchange rates.
3. Bulk Buying: Larger UC packs usually give more "Bonus UC" for free.
