The popular Battle Royale game PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) has announced that players will soon be able to own the new in-game weapon skins that are themed after popular Twitch streamers Guy ‘Dr DisRespect’ Beahm and Michael ‘Grzesiek’ Shroud.
In a promotional event from June 4th – 30th, players will be able to purchase special crates containing the personalized weapon skins for $9.99 a crate.
PUBG initially decided to award the two streamers their own skins after Dr DisRespect, who is a prominent streamer of the game on Twitch, publicly demanded it from the game’s developers.
The skin designs were later confirmed by the Doc and popular PUBG skin database SkinTracker, and can all be viewed here.
PUBG will be releasing the weapon skins into the game via two purchasable crates: Shroud’s Ghosted Crate and the Doc’s Speed and Momentum Crate.
Both crates will include two special skins each, and both crates can be purchased either on Twitch or directly from Steam.
Show your support for two of the most legendary PUBG streamers.
Starting on June 4, you can get @Shroud‘s Ghosted Crate and @DrDisRespect‘s Speed and Momentum Crate, each containing two custom-designed weapon skins.

According to the official announcement post, the skins will not be marketable on the Steam community market, where various in-game items can usually be bought and sold by players.
Furthermore, each PUBG/Steam account will only be able to purchase one set of each crate, but players will have the option to purchase both crates if they choose to do so.

We worked closely with Dr. DisRespect and Shroud to design these weapon skins. It’s a true partnership between them and PUBG Corp, and we’re thrilled that these creators will get a share of the profits every time a fan buys one of these new crates.
Content creators from around the world have been fundamental to the success of PUBG. We want to celebrate that, and this is just one of many ways we’ll be doing it going forward.
