This is our first look at G-Coin, the premium currency for PUBG: Battlegrounds on PC. The result is unusually simple. Three sellers quote G-Coin on MangoRecharge, and one of them, MooGold, has the lowest price on every one of the five standard packs. The lowest and highest quote for each pack is also the same in all 50 countries we list, so there is no country-specific price here. What follows is one worldwide price list.
The three sellers are MooGold, LootBar and Kinguin. All three are labelled established resellers on MangoRecharge. LootBar quotes only the two smallest packs, 510 and 1,050 G-Coin, so the three larger packs come down to MooGold against Kinguin.
G-Coin prices by pack
| Pack | Cheapest | Seller | Sellers quoting | Highest quote | Spread | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | 510 | $4.50 | MooGold | 3 | $5.62 | 25% | | 1,050 | $9.00 | MooGold | 3 | $10.79 | 20% | | 2,700 | $22.50 | MooGold | 2 | $27.47 | 22% | | 5,500 | $45.00 | MooGold | 2 | $54.74 | 22% | | 11,200 | $90.00 | MooGold | 2 | $107.84 | 20% |
Spread is the gap between the lowest and highest quote for a pack, measured against the lowest. All quotes are in US dollars.
On the two smallest packs LootBar sits in the middle, at $4.99 for 510 and $9.99 for 1,050. Kinguin has the highest quote on every pack it lists.
How far ahead MooGold is
The lead is modest on the small packs and much wider on the big ones. Here is MooGold's price set against the next-cheapest seller on each pack:
| Pack | MooGold | Next cheapest | Seller | Gap | MooGold below by | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | 510 | $4.50 | $4.99 | LootBar | $0.49 | 9.8% | | 1,050 | $9.00 | $9.99 | LootBar | $0.99 | 9.9% | | 2,700 | $22.50 | $27.47 | Kinguin | $4.97 | 18.1% | | 5,500 | $45.00 | $54.74 | Kinguin | $9.74 | 17.8% | | 11,200 | $90.00 | $107.84 | Kinguin | $17.84 | 16.5% |
The jump between 1,050 and 2,700 is not because MooGold suddenly gets cheaper. It is because LootBar drops out of the field there, and the next price up is Kinguin's.
The field is thin on the larger packs. On 2,700, 5,500 and 11,200 only two sellers quote, so each spread is measured against a single rival. A 20% or 22% spread with two sellers tells you less than the same figure with five. It says MooGold is well below Kinguin, not that MooGold is well below the market as a whole. There simply is not much of a market to compare against.
Some sellers also offer bonus bundles, such as a base amount with extra G-Coin added. We left those out of this comparison because their size does not match any of the five standard packs, so they cannot be set side by side with the figures above.
Cost per 100 G-Coin
Dividing each price by the pack size shows how much a bigger pack actually saves you.
| Pack | MooGold per 100 | Change from previous pack | Kinguin per 100 | |---|---|---|---| | 510 | $0.882 | — | $1.102 | | 1,050 | $0.857 | -2.9% | $1.028 | | 2,700 | $0.833 | -2.8% | $1.017 | | 5,500 | $0.818 | -1.8% | $0.995 | | 11,200 | $0.804 | -1.8% | $0.963 |
At MooGold, the cost per G-Coin falls 8.9% from the smallest pack to the largest. The curve is smooth: every step is a little cheaper per coin than the one before, and none goes backwards. Kinguin's curve is steeper, falling 12.6% from 510 to 11,200, but it starts from a much higher point.
That leads to the most useful single comparison on the list. MooGold's smallest pack is cheaper per G-Coin than Kinguin's largest. At $0.882 per 100, the 510 pack beats Kinguin's 11,200 pack at $0.963. LootBar's two packs sit between the two, at $0.978 per 100 for 510 and $0.951 for 1,050, also above MooGold's 510 pack. In other words, on these figures the seller matters more than the pack size.
Do smaller packs combined ever win?
On many games, buying two smaller packs can beat a single larger one. With MooGold's G-Coin prices, the arithmetic says no, but only just. Its prices are close to flat multiples of each other, while the pack sizes step up a little faster, so a combination tends to cost the same and give you slightly less.
- 2 x 510 against 1,050: 2 x $4.50 = $9.00 for 1,020 G-Coin. The 1,050 pack is also $9.00, with 30 more G-Coin.
- 2 x 1,050 + 510 against 2,700: $9.00 + $9.00 + $4.50 = $22.50 for 2,610 G-Coin. The 2,700 pack is also $22.50, with 90 more G-Coin.
- 2 x 2,700 against 5,500: 2 x $22.50 = $45.00 for 5,400 G-Coin. The 5,500 pack is also $45.00, with 100 more G-Coin.
- 2 x 5,500 against 11,200: 2 x $45.00 = $90.00 for 11,000 G-Coin. The 11,200 pack is also $90.00, with 200 more G-Coin.
Each of these is a price tie, and each time the single pack gives you more G-Coin for the same money. The differences are small, from 30 to 200 G-Coin, so if you only need slightly fewer coins than a pack holds, the cost comes out the same either way. If you are buying at MooGold and already know you want a given total, the single larger pack is never worse on these figures.
Mixing sellers does not help either. Every lowest price on the list is MooGold's, so swapping any part of a combination to LootBar or Kinguin only raises the total.
G-Coin is not UC
PUBG: Battlegrounds on PC and PUBG Mobile are different games with different currencies. G-Coin is the PC currency. UC is the PUBG Mobile currency. They are not interchangeable: G-Coin cannot be spent in PUBG Mobile, and UC cannot be spent on PC. The pack sizes are different too, so a UC price tells you nothing about what 510 or 1,050 G-Coin should cost. When you compare listings, check that the product name says G-Coin and names the PC game before you look at the price.
Checks before you pay
- Confirm the product is G-Coin for PUBG: Battlegrounds on PC, not UC for PUBG Mobile.
- Match the G-Coin amount on the seller's page to the pack you compared, and skip bonus bundles if you want a like-for-like price.
- Check that the listing serves your account's region before paying.
- Keep your password to yourself. No legitimate G-Coin purchase needs it, and if a listing asks for it, leave and buy elsewhere.
- Compare the final amount at checkout with the listed figure, since fees can be added at the last step.
- On 2,700, 5,500 and 11,200, remember that only one other seller is quoting against the price you see.
Choosing your pack
Work out how many G-Coin you need, then take the smallest single pack that covers it. On these figures that pack is always cheapest at MooGold, and combining smaller packs does not undercut it. The bigger question is the seller rather than the size: the gap between MooGold and the next quote grows from $0.49 on 510 to $17.84 on 11,200. These figures are a snapshot at the time of writing, and sellers change prices without notice. To see the current sellers and packs side by side, compare PUBG PC prices before you place an order.
