PUBG Mobile has always always have many strange things. However, alongside these bizarre elements are the “outlandish” antics from the gamers themselves. One of the issues is hacking, cheating, and using third-party software to become overpowered, or even just to surprise other players.
As a mobile game that is easy to play and each match is always short in duration, most gamers will choose to play solo or in randomly matched teams. This is also when funny situations arise, leaving teammates stunned upon seeing unexpected bizarre scenes.
One of the most commonly used hacks is wallhacks and speed hacks, which have become too ubiquitous in PUBG Mobile. However, there are some hacking tools that create unfamiliar experiences for many players. One of these is transforming into the “Eighteen Arhats”. In the situation below, a gamer astonished other players by transforming into a “long-armed Arhat” or more accurately, as Luffy from One Piece.
As seen in the image, we can see that teammate number 4 has transformed, and the length of his arm has grown taller than a two-story building. For regular players, this is simply impossible; only players using third-party software can turn themselves into such “unnatural” objects. Seeing this image, gamers will immediately recall the scene of The Long-Arm Arhat in the Journey to the West battling with the Golden Winged Bird or like Luffy, extending his arm to several meters to finish off the enemy.
The Eighteen Arhats (Chinese: 十八羅漢) is a term used in tales about the Arahants in Mahayana Buddhism. The image of the 18 Arhats is a popular theme in Buddhist art, with the greatest influence in China and Vietnam. Of course, after stunning his teammates with this “terrifying” transformation, this player immediately faced a bitter end, which was having his 10-year account ban.
This serves as a lesson for gamers who “wanting to gain without effort”, not wanting to win through their own abilities but only using “unfair” methods against other gamers.
