Awful Squad turns PUBG into a bloody dating sim

Can love bloom on PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds?

Operation Hot Date is a military exercise to test Awful Squad’s ability to provide an optimal dating experience in the event of a zombie apocalypse.

It is the duty of Awful Squad (codenames Cupid Prime, Cupid X, Cupid Omega and Cupid Gooding Jr.) to provide transportation, protection and romantic counseling.

Can Loverboy and Honey find love at the end of the world? Tune in to this week’s Awful Squad to find out.
