How to fire flare gun?
The flare gun is fired straight up in the air, upwards into the sky, directly above the current location. It does not sound like a traditional gun, instead it gives off a different sound that can be heard and distinguished by the enemies. It calls in a custom airdrop that drops highly valuable equipment compared to the ordinary airdrop.
Once a flare is fired and reaches an altitude of 200 meters, it’s a signal for a supply plane. Soon a plane flies over the map and drops off supplies.
PUBG FLARE GUN SUPPLIES:
When you are inside the white circle, the flare gun is used to call in a special supply crate. However, if you are outside the white circle, it is used to summon a Russian infantry fighting vehicle called the BRDM-2.
