11 Weapon and gear customization is one of the advertised pillars of PUBG: Black Budget. The official description promises extensive weapon and gear customization, faction-exclusive items, healing items and stimulants, and cosmetic skins for both weapons and equipment. Very little of that catalog has been published by name, but a specific set of weapons, attachments, ammunition types and brand names did become public during the first Closed Alpha Test, when PUBG Studios listed the contents of the compensation packages sent to players who took part in the opening week.

33 Everything on this page is drawn from that official listing. No comprehensive weapon roster has been announced, so treat this as a partial view of the arsenal rather than a complete one.

77 Three branded weapon lines have been named. Each one was published as a package built around a single base weapon plus the attachments made for it.

1010 A fourth name, Stygian, appeared on a currency package rather than a weapon package, so its role is not established. The game separately confirms three rival factions that supply faction-exclusive gear, but no official source has stated whether these branded lines correspond to those factions. Until one does, treat the two sets as unrelated.

2121 Two entries above sit outside the familiar slot categories. The Deheater and the burst-fire component were published as item names with no description, so what they do and where they mount are inferred from their names rather than stated. Several attachments are also named for the weapon they fit rather than being universal, which suggests that at least part of the attachment pool is weapon-specific. That has not been confirmed as a rule, so it is worth treating as an observation about the published items rather than a stated system.

3131 The game's currency is the obol. It was named publicly when players from the opening week of the first Closed Alpha Test received a Stygian money package containing 50,000 obol, claimable from the in-game mailbox. No conversion rate, earning rate, or spending sink has been detailed. How currency fits into the wider economy is covered in Progression and Customization.

3333 Where Gear Comes From
3434  
3535 Equipment is gathered on Coli Island and carried home through Extraction. Because the inventory is persistent, anything a Contractor brings into a raid is lost on death, so the weapons and attachments above are consumable assets rather than permanent unlocks. Crafting stations at The Base turn extracted materials into new equipment, and faction reputation is advertised as a route to gear that is not otherwise available.
3636  
3737 The published items above all arrived as test compensation rather than through normal play, so they show what exists in the build rather than how it is acquired. For the testing history that produced them, see Closed Alpha and Playtests, and for how weapons behave in a run, see Gameplay.
