Gothic Supplies in PUBG Mobile

The gaming genre that has dominated the charts over the past several years is definitely battle royale.

And, of course, the OG of the niche, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, is a juggernaut when it comes to players and their dedication.

Available for practically every platform ever made, PUBG is more than a game - it is a phenomenon.

From inspiring new eSports competitions to even other games like Fortnite, PUBG is anything if not the quintessential battle royale experience.

Like those other titles, its ubiquity has made it somewhat of a cultural icon to many gamers around the world in multiple ways.

Thanks to its availability on mobile platforms like smartphones, PUBG is uniquely positioned to influence gaming culture in ways that other games never have before.

We’re talking about more than just gameplay and fandom here.

We’re talking about the aesthetics of it all and why that’s so important not only to PUBG’s culture but also to broader fashion as well.

You see, gamers that really love PUBG show that dedication through cosmetic changes in game that align their virtual avatar more closely with their true sartorial self such as theShadow Gothensemble or theScarlet Noble Dress.

What you get are interesting combinations that, while also functional in game, look ripped straight from the catwalk in terms of style and execution. Indeed, outside of the Final Fantasy series, few games have drawn such scrutiny for their in-game fashion options than PUBG.

Part of a well-rounded gaming experience that places a premium on quality gaming over all else, the in-game cosmetic changes are both symbolic of style and a player’s dedication.

In this article, we’ll talk about one style in particular that we love and that works well in the game - but would also work well “IRL.”

We’re talking about the gothic outfits and their aesthetic choices and, aside from being really cool, they’re also true to form and niche.

If you’re a fan of thegame goth look, then you’ll want to read on and find out why you need to add the goth look to your character in PUBG mobile. We’ll tell you how and why.

Gothic clothing in PUBG makes sense from two perspectives: It evokes a certain character personality and it also provides necessary cover when you’re stealthily making your way across a map.

For those who are uninitiated, the gothic look is quite simple to put together though it can be quite complex in final form.

It can be something as basic as an all black outfit with some metal work or detailing or it can be a complex, multi-textured affair combining blacks, whites, and silvers in a way that both evokes horror films as well as leather biker outfits.

Though it is called gothic or goth, it is not tied to the historical adjective of the same name.

In many ways, goth looks take their inspiration from biker gangs of the 1950s, horror films of the 1960s, and television icons like Moriticia Addams and Elvira.

Dark hair, dark clothing, and minimalist or maximalist use of accessories are often hallmarks of the look.

In terms of accessories, they are often made out of metal - particularly silver - and can be as simple as a chain or as complex as studded leather.

What appeals about this look for gamers and fashionistas alike is that it evokes all of the intimidating qualities of being a “bad guy” without being an avowed evil character.

There’s a darkness to the gothic look that appeals across generations and it is the gray morality that they supposedly occupy that attracts many people to the look.

Rather than being good or evil, the gothic ethos focuses on the many mitigating factors - or context - that surrounds any situation.

This evidences itself in their clothing with its mixed use of elegant motifs - such as in Elvira and Morticia - or its rougher implementations like the horror-film inspired leather looks.

One of the biggest drivers in PUBG is that of stealth and assassination. In this regard, the gothic themed outfits in PUBG Mobile are perfectly suited for the game.

Aside from their matching colors and coordinated accessories, goth outfits also tend to be dark colors and form fitting.

This means that the wearer blends in at night and truly evokes the role of an international assassin if that’s what they are role playing as in the game.

Thedark goth cloak, in particular, is great at keeping the player character hidden at night and is also true to form.

Like we said earlier, gothic outfits tend towards the elegant and the horror inspired but they also have vague elements of the Victorian and what some might consider Steampunk.

The cloak is one of those accessories that can do many different looks but is perfectly suited to the gamer goth style.

Take this gothic suit for example.

Notice how it both perfectly evokes the dual sense of assassin and dark horror with its forked dovetail shape on the coat and silver metal work accompanying it.

Not only is it tailored close to the man’s body but also it comes in simple black with gray accents.

When it comes to actual Gothic menswearandwomen’s gothic clothing, this representation is actually quite accurate and true to form.

That’s not really that surprising given that the game designers wanted to evoke the wearer’s personality as much as possible with their in-game clothing choices.

It’s also interesting how closely these designs mirror real-life gothic styles as shown on the runway.

Like we referenced in the opening of this article, the confluence of fashion and video games is nothing new but it is becoming more and more prominent as the medium of video games grows in size and importance.

Naturally the outfit has a perfect role-playing element to it and makes it the perfect purchase for the PUBG Mobile gamer that is a fan of gothic styles.
