Red blood can be hard to spot at long range in PUBG, especially against brown buildings and autumn foliage. Changing the blood colour makes it far easier to confirm hits — and it’s a built-in option, not a hack. There isn’t a setting literally called “purple blood”, but the colour-blind modes give you pink-magenta, blue or orange hit effects, and the pink option is the closest to purple.

Quick answer (PC and console)
Open Settings > Gameplay, find Colorblind Mode, and choose:
| Colorblind setting | Blood / hit colour |
|---|---|
| Normal | Red (default) |
| Deuteranopia | Pink / magenta (closest to purple) |
| Protanopia | Blue |
| Tritanopia | Orange |
Apply the setting and jump into Training Mode to check how it looks.
Step-by-step on PC
- Launch PUBG: Battlegrounds.
- Press Esc and open Settings.
- Go to the Gameplay tab.
- Find Colorblind Mode and pick Deuteranopia for pink/purple blood, Protanopia for blue or Tritanopia for orange.
- Click Apply.
You can change it mid-match too — it doesn’t require a restart.
What else changes with colour-blind mode?
Colour-blind modes are designed for players with colour vision deficiency, so they also change other colours in the game, such as minimap and team markers and some UI elements. Try each option in Training Mode; most players get used to the new colours within a few matches.
On console (PlayStation and Xbox)
The console versions use the same Settings > Gameplay > Colorblind Mode option. Menu layout varies slightly between versions, so if you don’t see it under Gameplay, check the Graphics or Accessibility section.
In PUBG Mobile and BGMI
PUBG Mobile and Battlegrounds Mobile India use different defaults depending on region and version:
- PUBG Mobile: go to Settings > Graphics & Audio (or Basic settings depending on your version) and look for colour-blind or hit-effect colour options.
- BGMI: blood is green by default; in the colour-blind settings, Deuteranopia gives pink, Protanopia blue and Tritanopia orange.
What about the old “-KoreanRating” trick?
Years ago, PC players added the launch option -KoreanRating in Steam to get green blood from the Korean age-rated version. It was an unofficial trick and it isn’t reliable today. Use the built-in colour-blind settings instead — they’re supported, safe and won’t cause problems with anti-cheat.
Does blood colour give an advantage?
Only in the sense that hits are easier to see, which helps you know when to push or keep shooting. It’s an accessibility setting available to everyone and is completely allowed — no risk of a ban.
FAQ
Is there a purple blood option in PUBG?
Not by that name. Deuteranopia colour-blind mode produces a pink/magenta effect that’s the closest to purple.
Will changing blood colour get me banned?
No. It’s an official in-game setting.
Why did my blood colour change after an update?
Big patches sometimes reset settings. Re-select your Colorblind Mode in Settings > Gameplay.
