PUBG Mobile Trident is the signature Ocean Odyssey weapon found inside the returning Ocean Palace in Version 4.6. It is not available the instant a Ranked Erangel match begins: the weapon is sealed at the palace until its countdown finishes, after which players can claim it and trigger the Kraken sequence.
The trade-off with the PUBG Mobile Trident is what makes the item interesting. Winning the weapon gives the holder a powerful themed melee tool and special movement effects, but taking it also changes the Ocean Palace from a protected loot zone into a dangerous escape sequence as the Kraken attacks the Sea Suppressor and the palace begins to flood.
How to get the PUBG Mobile Trident
- Enter Ocean Odyssey on Ranked Erangel.
- Drop at the Ocean Palace and secure the interior.
- Find the Trident at the central themed location inside the palace.
- Wait for the unlock countdown instead of trying to pull it immediately.
- Claim it as soon as the timer allows, then prepare to leave the palace.
The original Ocean Odyssey marks the available weapon on the mini-map when its countdown is complete. In the Version 4.6 return, follow the live prompt around the palace rather than repeatedly interacting with the sealed weapon before the game says it is ready.
What the PUBG Mobile Trident does
The original Trident is a special melee weapon with a unique swimming animation, increased underwater movement and a Waterspout ability that can pull nearby players into the effect and throw them away. Those mechanics are what made the weapon more than a high-damage melee pickup during the first Ocean Odyssey run.
Because Version 4.6 returns selected Ocean Odyssey elements rather than advertising a complete 3.3 re-release, check the live PUBG Mobile Trident tooltip for the exact current abilities before relying on an old damage number or cooldown. The weapon identity and Kraken trigger are the important confirmed parts of the returning loop.
Does the PUBG Mobile Trident trigger the Kraken?
Yes. Taking the PUBG Mobile Trident is the key event connected to the Kraken sequence at Ocean Palace. The PUBG Mobile Kraken guide covers that event separately because the Kraken is not simply another enemy standing beside the weapon waiting to be shot.
Once the sequence begins, staying inside to search every room becomes increasingly risky. The palace protection can fail and water can flood the interior, so the player holding the Trident should already know which exit or route the squad is using.
Where is the PUBG Mobile Trident inside Ocean Palace?
The weapon sits at the central palace objective rather than spawning as ordinary floor loot. Use the Ocean Palace Location guide to reach the underwater POI, then move toward the marked central Trident area and watch the countdown.
This also means random shoreline looting will not produce the weapon. If your goal is specifically the Trident, you need the Ocean Odyssey palace objective, not a normal Erangel crate or an unrelated themed location.
Can more than one player get the PUBG Mobile Trident?
Treat the Trident as a contested palace objective rather than a common item every squad member will automatically receive. The practical match strategy is to decide who is taking it and let the rest of the squad cover that player during the unlock and escape instead of everyone standing on the same interaction point.
That squad discipline matters because the PUBG Mobile Trident becomes most valuable if the team survives the palace transition. Winning the pickup but losing three teammates during the flooding sequence can leave the weapon holder isolated for the rest of the match.
What if the PUBG Mobile Trident will not unlock?
Check the countdown first. The weapon is designed to become available after a set period rather than immediately at match start. If the timer has not finished, the correct action is to secure the room, watch entrances and wait for the live interaction prompt.
If there is no Trident objective at all, confirm you actually entered the Version 4.6 Ocean Odyssey queue. The Ocean Odyssey Not Showing guide covers cases where players are on Ranked Erangel but have selected the normal or another themed rule set.
Best way to use the PUBG Mobile Trident
Use the Trident for the mobility and disruption it gives rather than treating it like a replacement for every firearm. Ocean Odyssey is still battle royale, so the holder needs normal guns for ranged fights, ammunition, healing and a sensible rotation once the squad leaves the palace.
The strongest PUBG Mobile Trident run is therefore a sequence: win the Ocean Palace drop, wait out the unlock, claim the weapon, survive the Kraken and leave with the squad intact. The flashy pickup is only useful if you are still alive when the match returns to normal Erangel rotations.
