As I dropped into Erangel during PUBG Mobile’s 3.1 update, one question burned in my mind: How will the new Portal Staff redefine battle royale strategies? This mystical item has become the ultimate game-changer, offering both thrilling opportunities and complex challenges. Through extensive testing and squad matches, I’ve uncovered its secrets – and pitfalls – that every player needs to know.

🔍 How to Obtain the Portal Staff

Contrary to popular belief, this isn’t exclusive to airdrops. My squad found three staffs in:

  • School building corridors (high spawn rate)

  • Military Base watchtowers

  • Random floor loot near Georgopol containers

Pro Tip: The staff occupies a weapon slot – plan your inventory carefully!

⚡ Portal Mechanics Decoded

Activating the staff creates twin portals with 15-second duration (20s in Payload Mode). Key observations:

Feature Detail
Teleport Cooldown 2 seconds between uses
Vehicle Compatibility ✅ (Motorcycles fit easily)
Projectile Transfer Grenades/Molotovs pass through

🎯 5 Game-Breaking Tactics

  1. Ambush Elevation: Place exit portal on unreachable rooftops

  2. Bait & Switch: Lure enemies through with fake loot, then grenade spam

  3. Zone Escape: Create instant pathways through electric walls

  4. Vehicle Surprise: Drive UAZ through portal as mobile cover

  5. Sniper Relocation: Shoot → Portal → Reposition → Repeat

⚠️ Did you know? Enemies can use YOUR portals if they reach them first!

🔥 People Also Ask

  • Can multiple portals coexist?

No – activating new portals destroys previous ones.

  • Do portals work underwater?

Testing shows 50% failure rate – avoid aquatic teleportation!

  • Best counter against portal users?

Smoke grenades at portal exits disrupt enemy vision.

🚫 Critical Limitations

  1. Sound Cues: Portal activation creates distinct humming (audible within 50m)

  2. Destruction Vulnerability: 30 HP – one AKM magazine destroys it

  3. Endgame Uselessness: Final circles often too small for effective use
