The PUBG Mobile One-Punch Man event is live from September 20 to October 19, 2026, bringing Saitama, Genos, Terrible Tornado, Hellish Blizzard, Watchdog Man and two Garou variants into the game alongside weapons, equipment, emotes and other crossover cosmetics. The launch is worldwide except mainland China, with the collaboration running inside PUBG Mobile Version 4.6.
The useful thing to know about the PUBG Mobile One-Punch Man event is that its rewards are not all sitting behind one purchase button. The collaboration uses several reward systems, including a free Perk Exchange route and premium event systems shown in the live rollout, so players should check which track actually contains the item they want before spending UC.

The official One-Punch Man announcement confirms the PUBG Mobile One-Punch Man event dates and its five headline character sets: Saitama, Genos, Terrible Tornado, Hellish Blizzard and Garou. KRAFTON Japan’s launch material expands that list with Watchdog Man, Garou Ver.1 and Ver.2, a casual Saitama set and a wider collection of themed items.
| Reward type | Confirmed items |
|---|---|
| Character and costume sets | Saitama, Genos, Terrible Tornado, Hellish Blizzard, Watchdog Man, Garou Ver.1, Garou Ver.2, Saitama casual set, Strongest Man costume set, Watchdog Man costume set |
| Voice cards | Saitama voice card, Garou voice card |
| Weapon and melee cosmetics | Justice Enforcement Kar98K skin, Grocery Bag machete skin |
| Equipment and vehicles | Saitama helmet, One-Punch Man backpack, Mumen Rider bicycle |
| Buddy and emotes | Mumen Rider buddy, Justice Enforcement emote, Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist emote |
That is the first-party item list for the PUBG Mobile One-Punch Man event. It is broader than the five characters used in the earliest teaser, which is why a simple list of Saitama, Genos, Tatsumaki, Fubuki and Garou no longer covers the whole collaboration.
How the reward routes are split
The PUBG Mobile One-Punch Man event has a free route and premium reward systems. The free One-Punch Man rewards in PUBG Mobile guide covers the Perk Exchange side separately, because that is the part players can work on without treating every cosmetic as a UC purchase.
For the premium side, the live event presentation includes Prize Path and Lucky Spin systems. Those names matter because fixed progression and random draws are different buying decisions. Before using UC, open the relevant event tab and read the current reward pool, milestone list, draw odds and any guarantee language shown in your own client.
Which One-Punch Man characters are in PUBG Mobile?
The PUBG Mobile One-Punch Man event includes Saitama, Genos, Terrible Tornado, Hellish Blizzard, Watchdog Man and Garou-themed content. The official launch list specifically names Garou Ver.1 and Garou Ver.2 as separate character sets, so Garou collectors have more than one version to look for during the event.
The launch material also lists a Strongest Man costume set, which is separate from the five headline character sets promoted in the first announcement. That is one reason to use the live reward screen rather than assuming every named costume belongs to the same Prize Path or spin.
When does the PUBG Mobile One-Punch Man event end?
The PUBG Mobile One-Punch Man event runs globally from September 20 to October 19, 2026. The official Japanese schedule is September 20 at 9:00 JST through October 20 at 8:59 JST, which is the same global window expressed in Japan time. The collaboration is available worldwide except mainland China.
Do not leave a premium draw, exchange or mission chain until the final minutes simply because a different region shows October 20 on its local calendar. The in-game countdown is the best final check for the exact closing hour attached to your account and region.
Are there free One-Punch Man rewards?
Yes. The official collaboration announcement explicitly points players to free rewards in the Perk Exchange Event. That free route was previewed from September 9, before the main PUBG Mobile One-Punch Man event started on September 20. It is separate from the paid character collection and is worth clearing before spending UC on anything else.
The important distinction is that “free rewards” does not mean every featured character set is free. Treat Perk Exchange as its own reward track, then treat Prize Path and Lucky Spin content as separate systems with their own requirements. That prevents one of the easiest mistakes in a crossover like this: seeing a character in promotional art and assuming it comes from the free track.
How to check the One-Punch Man event in game
- Update PUBG Mobile to the current Version 4.6 client.
- Open the Events area from the lobby and find the One-Punch Man collaboration panels.
- Check the Perk Exchange tab first for the free reward route.
- Open the Prize Path or Lucky Spin screens only if you want premium crossover items.
- Read the live reward list, costs, odds and expiry timer before spending UC.
- Claim completed exchanges and milestone rewards before the collaboration closes.
PUBG Mobile’s official site is the first-party game destination, while the official One-Punch Man collaboration announcement confirms the worldwide dates, headline character sets and free Perk Exchange rewards for the PUBG Mobile One-Punch Man event.
What not to assume about Saitama and the other sets
The PUBG Mobile One-Punch Man event is live, but the first-party announcement does not publish a complete character-by-character acquisition table or a universal total UC cost for collecting everything. If one screen shows Saitama, Genos or another character, check the actual event tab before treating a community price or route as guaranteed for your version of the game.
That matters most for randomized rewards. A Lucky Spin can have different economics from a fixed progression track, and a featured image is not the same thing as a guaranteed milestone. Use the live pool and odds attached to the draw you are actually opening.
Version 4.6 has more than the One-Punch Man crossover
The PUBG Mobile One-Punch Man event lands during a busy Version 4.6 cycle. If you are also playing the supernatural side of the update, The Click has guides for how to become a vampire in PUBG Mobile and the four PUBG Mobile vampire abilities. BGMI players can also use our BGMI 4.6 new skins coverage for the regional version of the wider update cycle.
For the crossover itself, the simplest approach is to clear the free track first, decide which cosmetic you actually want, then inspect the live premium route before spending. The PUBG Mobile One-Punch Man event has enough separate systems that buying first and figuring out the reward structure afterwards is the expensive way around.
