PUBG Black Market 2026 Crafter Pass and Loot Guide

What the Crafter Pass actually costs and rewards, how the new Supply Depot crate system replaced last year's double gacha, which weapon skin rotates each of the four weeks, the full Special Crafting price list, how Special Dismantle turns spare stamps into tokens, and the closing dates that decide when all of it disappears.

A player logging in for a limited-time PUBG event usually wants one number first: what does the pass cost, and is it worth it? Black Market 2026 answered that question on June 17 for PC and June 25 for console, returning with a completely rebuilt Workshop system behind it. Craftable weapon skins, a fresh four-week rotation, a redesigned Crafter Pass, and a Special Crafting menu all sit under one event banner this time. What follows breaks down the token economy first, then the loot itself, then every date a player needs to track before anything expires.

What Does the Crafter Pass Actually Cost and Reward?

The Crafter Pass is Black Market 2026's progression-based reward track, and it climbs as high as level 70. Leveling past level 40 takes noticeably more Pass XP per level than the first 40 did, so the early stretch moves fast while the back half demands consistent daily play. XP comes from daily and weekly missions, plus general survival time in matches.

Two packages are on sale:

One regulatory detail matters here: the Crafter Pass is not sold in Belgium or the Netherlands, where loot-box-adjacent progression systems run into local gambling regulations. Players in either country simply cannot buy the pass this season. Picture a player who clears every daily and weekly mission without fail; that player is not just farming Pass XP, they are also stacking the Token and Voucher rewards tied to those same missions, several of which carry their own hard expiration date rather than lasting the full event window.

How Is the Supply Depot Crate System Different From Last Year?

Update 42.1 rebuilt the Workshop's entire probability structure from the ground up. The previous system ran on Loot Caches and Bonus Packages, a two-layer "double gacha" where opening one cache earned a second roll on whatever came out of it. PUBG's own development notes cite player feedback from the 2026 Roadmap as the reason the whole structure got removed rather than patched.

The new system pulls craftable weapon skins and every other reward from a single Crate in one step. Buying, opening, viewing results, and collecting milestone rewards all now live on one Workshop page called the Supply Depot. Part of the randomness got replaced with fixed token payouts and milestone rewards, so a player now knows roughly what a given number of Crates will return before spending a single G-Coin on them. That shift alone changes how a player budgets for the event; guessing gives way to planning.

What Milestone Rewards Come From Opening Crates?

Inside the Supply Depot, Crates open using either G-Coin or a Black Market 2026 Crate Voucher, sold in two bundles that each include a bonus token payout.

A separate milestone track runs alongside the crates, and none of it is luck-based; hitting a cumulative crate count guarantees a fixed reward.

Take a player aiming for exactly 180 crates across the event. That player collects seven separate milestone drops along the way, well over 900 bonus Tokens, a Polymer stack, a Blueprint, and a rare smoke grenade skin, entirely on top of whatever the crates themselves produce. Reading that milestone table before spending is what turns a blind gamble into a budgeted purchase.

Which Weapon Skins Rotate Through the Smuggler's Stash?

This is the part most players actually search for. The Black Market 2026 Smuggler's Stash rotates a different weapon and its matching skin variants every week for four weeks straight, and the stashes sit on the Hideout Weapon tab.

Three of the new skin variants carry better odds than their original counterparts: Devil's Touch ACE32, Dusty Rose Dragunov, and Neon Dream AUG all pull their new skin more often than the base one. A player who wants the exact odds before opening anything can check them through Hideout, Smuggler's Stash, Detailed Info, View Probabilities.

There is a built-in discount too. Every Smuggler's Stash (Open 10) bundle carries a 50 percent discount on its first purchase, capped at once per stash and four times total across the event. A player who uses that discount all four weeks ends up trying four different weapons' 10-crate bundles at half price each time. The stashes also accept Black Market Coupons, meaning a player who saved coupons instead of spending G-Coin can still join the rotation.

What Does Black Market 2026 Actually Cover, and What Does It Not?

Black Market 2026 is a limited-time seasonal event built around craftable weapon skins and their matching variants. Players earn rewards through Smuggler's Stash crates, Supply Depot crates, the Crafter Pass, and Special Crafting. What the event does not do is act as a permanent store; once the listed sale dates pass (July 15 on PC, July 23 on console), most of the event closes and any unclaimed tokens simply disappear from the account.

Skins from earlier seasons do not fully "come back" through this event either. Older skins tied to the Hideout stay locked to that separate system and never surface through the Black Market 2026 Supply Depot. A player who assumes last season's missed skin can now be picked up cheaply through the Supply Depot is working from a false premise; that skin only exists through its own Hideout mechanism, never through this year's crates. Getting that distinction straight early is what makes the rest of the event make sense.

What Does Special Crafting Cost for Each of the 18 Items?

Black Market 2026 Tokens come from opening crates or leveling up the Crafter Pass, and Special Crafting lets a player spend those tokens on 18 different items total. Each of the four featured weapons can be crafted as the full skinned version, the plain version, or just the nameplate.

*The Black Market 2026 Crate Voucher can only be crafted through July 15, 05:00 UTC. After that date, it drops out of Special Crafting entirely.

The pricing follows a clear tier: the full skinned weapon runs 4,500 tokens, the plain version drops to 2,000, and the nameplate alone costs just 400. A player who only wants the visual nameplate for their profile saves a large chunk of tokens compared to going for the full skinned weapon. Planning a token budget around this tier structure, rather than crafting on impulse, is what stretches a limited token pool across the whole event.

How Does Special Dismantle Turn Spare Stamps Into Tokens?

Stamps earned from Black Market Crates can run through Special Dismantle to convert back into Black Market Tokens. The process sits under Workshop, Regular Crafting, Craft, using the "Dismantle" button, where a player chooses between Regular Dismantle and Special Dismantle.

This table runs in reverse of the crafting table above it. Dismantling one skinned stamp only returns 1,125 tokens, while crafting that same skinned weapon costs 4,500, so four unwanted stamps barely cover a single target item. A player sitting on a pile of duplicate stamps gets more value dismantling them early than holding onto them, since the tokens they convert into stay useful right up until the event closes, while the stamps themselves have no other purpose.

When Do Black Market 2026's Sales and Tokens Actually Expire?

Different parts of the event close on different dates, so tracking one single "end date" is not enough. The main event window, covering the Supply Depot and the Crafter Pass, runs June 17 (post-maintenance) through July 15 at 03:00 UTC on PC, and June 25 (post-maintenance) through July 23 at 03:00 UTC on console.

Black Market 2026 Tokens get a slightly longer runway than the main event: they stay usable through July 20 at 03:00 UTC on PC and July 28 at 03:00 UTC on console. Crate Vouchers and Black Market 2026 Coupons expire alongside the main event instead, on July 15 for PC and July 23 for console. Anything expired, whether tokens, vouchers, or coupons, gets removed from the account automatically with no refund or exchange option.

The in-game store also sells Crate Vouchers directly for 10,000 BP, capped at 50 purchases, and the Scrap Broker converts 1,500 Scrap into 1,000 Black Market 2026 Tokens, a useful option for a player sitting on leftover Scrap with nothing else to spend it on. Spending down any remaining tokens and vouchers in Special Crafting before the closing date is the safest way to avoid losing anything to the expiration.

What Are PUBG Mobile's System Requirements and Storage Needs?

Black Market 2026 belongs to PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS on PC and console, but a good share of readers landing on this guide play the mobile version instead, PUBG Mobile, or are deciding whether to install it. The table below covers the minimum hardware a device needs to run it.

The storage range looks confusing because there is no single fixed number to point to. The initial download from the store stays in a low gigabyte range, but the game pulls additional resource packs (high-resolution textures, audio files, map data) onto the device the first time it launches. Every one of those extra packs is optional, and downloading all of them can push total installed size as high as 20 GB, while a phone with limited storage can skip most of them and still run the game on standard graphics.

RAM and processor power end up mattering more than storage for anyone on an older phone. A device sitting below the minimum specs might still launch the game, but frame drops and overheating show up often at that edge; picking a device that clears the minimum by a comfortable margin, rather than one that just barely meets it, makes for a noticeably smoother session.

Is PUBG Mobile Actually Free to Play?

PUBG Mobile downloads and runs without any upfront payment; the game itself is completely free. Its revenue model runs through UC (Unknown Cash), the in-game currency spent on cosmetics, Battle Passes, and Black Market-style seasonal events like the one this guide covers. None of it touches weapon damage or combat power directly; everything UC buys stays cosmetic or speeds up progression, never a competitive edge.

A player chasing the Crafter Pass or trying to open a Smuggler's Stash skin early needs UC from the in-game store to do it. The game being free does not mean the in-game economy is free too; the actual spending happens through this same UC-based cosmetic and event system, which is exactly where seasonal content like Black Market 2026 lives.
