Karmic justice rarely shines in PUBG. More often, the players that fight the dirtiest are those that come out on top.

This clip, posted to the PUBG subreddit Tuesday by u/DGLBEASTARD, shows a more just PUBG world.

The video begins with DGLBEASTARD and an enemy player locked in a scrappy duel in the hills of Miramar. DGLBEASTARD crashes their bike into the back of the enemy's parked UAZ, then hops off to take a close-range crossbow shot. The enemy responds by pulling the pin on a flash grenade and tossing it at DGLBEASTARD.

DGLBEASTARD rotates around the UAZ, giving the enemy the chance to hop in and try to drive away, but DGLBEASTARD hops in alongside them, brandishing a pan. The enemy bails on the vehicle just as a third player tries to run them over with a motorcycle, missing them by just a hair.

The original enemy runs to jump onto DGLBEASTARD's waiting motorcycle while DGLBEASTARD throws their pan at the third player, now driving away. They then chop the original enemy with an axe as they drive past on their motorcycle. DGLBEASTARD throws the axe after them in blind hope, but it flies wide.

As the enemy shrinks in the distance, driving free down the road, DGLBEASTARD reloads their crossbow for a truly desperate final shot. They launch the bolt, and it flies through the air for a full second and a half before smacking point first into the back of the fleeing enemy's head, instantly killing them from close to 300 meters away.

It's the kind of action one expects from a trailer rather than the actual game, and it shows that, sometimes, PUBG has a heart.
