PUBG Mobile Golden Moon Set 2026: UC Cost & Rebate Guide

Golden Moon Bazaar 2026 Overview

Runs April 6-30, 2026. The Tidal Soldier permanent legendary outfit requires 18,000 Tide Medals—no direct UC purchase needed. Unlike traditional lucky draws, you'll earn medals through seven activities: Golden Moon Treasure, Golden Moon Showdown, Golden Moon Blessing, Popularity Ranking, Eid al-Fitr Feast, Explore Stories, and Treasure Gallery. Medal rewards range from 3 to 1,800 per completion.

The February 6-28, 2026 UC Rebate Period runs separately, creating strategic timing opportunities. This rebate operates on cumulative base UC spending across seven tiers, deadline February 28, 23:59 UTC.

For efficient UC planning, platforms like buffget offer PUBG Mobile UC buy services with competitive pricing.

UC Package Optimization

$0.99 (60 UC): Tier 1 activation only. Poor value outside rebate.

$9.99 (660 UC + 60 bonus): Doesn't align with tier thresholds efficiently.

$24.99 (1,800 UC + 300 bonus): Two purchases (3,600 base UC) exceed Tier 5 (3,000), unlocking +1,860 bonus UC. Under $50 total.

$99.99 (6,000 UC + 2,100 bonus): Most efficient. One purchase activates Tiers 1-6. Two purchases (12,000 base UC) unlock all seven tiers, maximizing bonuses and Modification Materials.

Account Eligibility

Requirements:

• UID starts with 5 (10-12 digits total)
• Two-factor authentication enabled before February 6
• Not on excluded servers: JP, KR, TW, VN

Deadline: February 28, 23:59 UTC (purchase completion, not initiation). Allow 30-minute processing buffer.

Tidal Soldier vs Golden Pharaoh X-Suit

Tidal Soldier:

• Cost: 0 UC (18,000 Tide Medals via gameplay)
• Permanent status
• F2P accessible with 720 medals/day average

Golden Pharaoh X-Suit:

• Cost: 12,000-36,000 UC + upgrade resources
• Enhanced visual effects, animated elements
• Higher rarity, doesn't return after event
• Long-term collectibility value

Pro tip: Pursue both by timing UC purchases during February rebate for Modification Materials, then grind Tide Medals April 6-30.

Daily Medal Farming Optimization

Priority Activities:

1. Golden Moon Treasure: Highest medals-per-minute for casual players
2. Golden Moon Showdown: 500-1,000 medals/day for skilled players (ends April 21—don't miss first week)
3. Popularity Ranking: Starts April 7, likely crew-based bonuses
4. Hidden sources: Check Explore Stories and Treasure Gallery every login (50-100 medals/day)

Time-to-reward efficiency: Focus on straightforward completions during limited play sessions.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

❌ Ignoring redeem codes (wastes 200-800 medals for 2 minutes effort) ❌ Missing Golden Moon Showdown end date (April 21)—loses 15-25% medal potential ❌ Skipping Explore Stories/Treasure Gallery daily checks (wastes 1,400-2,800 medals over 25 days) ❌ Spending UC on medal shortcuts before exhausting free methods ❌ Starting medal farming after April 21

Rebate Tier Strategy

Budget players (under $50): Target Tier 5 (3,000 base UC). Two $24.99 packages = 3,600 base UC, unlocking +1,860 bonus UC (62% return).

X-Suit pursuers: Commit to Tier 7 (12,000 base UC). Two $99.99 packages unlock 2 Modification Materials, 1 Piece Pack, and 3,060-7,860 bonus UC (funds 30-78 extra draws).

Timing: Complete purchases by February 27 for processing buffer. Budget assuming minimum Tier 7 reward (1,200 UC), not maximum (6,000 UC).

X-Suit Probability Analysis

Draw progression:

• Draw 1: 0.25-0.50% chance (1-in-200 to 1-in-400)
• Draw 100: 5.25-10.50% chance (1-in-10 to 1-in-19)
• Draw 200-300: Guaranteed acquisition

Probability doesn't reset between sessions. 50 draws on February 10 maintain improved rates when you resume February 25.

Tier 7 bonus impact: 3,060-7,860 bonus UC reduces required base UC purchases to 16,140-32,940 UC for guaranteed acquisition.

Modification Material Path

Sources:

• Tier 6 rebate: 2 guaranteed materials
• Tier 2 rebate: 1 Piece Pack (10 pieces = 1 material)
• Golden Moon Bazaar milestones: 2-5 pieces (estimated)

Shortfall solution: Purchase materials at 600-1,200 UC each (adds 600-3,600 UC to total X-Suit cost).

Calculate total material availability before committing to X-Suit. If you can only guarantee 2 materials, decide if Level 2 X-Suit meets your goals.
