Public Pickup
On this page
Public Pickup is a community event that allows all types of players from different servers to come together and play in small scale fights. These fights follow predefined rule-sets on a match-by-match basis. All participating players are randomly assigned a faction and team for the event. Teams are rebalanced to make sure matches are fun, even, and enjoyable.
Public Pickup is a great way to hone your FPS skills and learn about game mechanics in a relaxed, semi-competitive environment. The NA Version is run by PSB, while the EU Version is run independently with PSB Accounts.
In addition PSB Accounts are used to Host Air Pickups as well!
What is Public Pickup?
Public Pickup is where Planetside Battles’ roots lay. It is a community event that allows all types of players from different servers, to come together and play in small scale fights that follow predefined rule sets on a match to match basis. All participating players are randomly assigned a team and faction for the event and teams re-balanced to make sure matches are fun, even, and enjoyable for partaking players.
We are reinforcing our Public Pickup events with greater access, outfit vs outfit and quality of life extras with Jaeger access and a dedicated team.
The 2015 version of the site added: with a dedicated team and access to the private Jaeger server, we can now offer a better Public Pickup experience.
