PUBG Mobile's Metro Royale Chapter 24 expands Fabled Traits to 4 properties per item. Lock valuable traits like Protection Set (+180-240 durability), Armor Piercing Rounds (15-24% armor damage), and Loot Detector (20-35% loot boost) using Enhancement Components from Black Market or dismantling. Learn the workstation process to preserve traits without type changes or gear loss.
Understanding Fabled Traits and Enhancement in Chapter 24
PUBG Mobile 3.6 increased Fabled special properties from 2 to 4 traits per item, creating unprecedented customization.
Fabled Equipment supports four simultaneous traits: Protection Set (durability), Armor Piercing Rounds (offense), and Loot Detector (resource efficiency). Each operates independently for strategic combinations.

Fabled Traits vs Standard Attributes
Standard attributes are fixed. Fabled Traits upgrade three times at workstations using Enhancement Components.
Protection Set scales: Level 1 adds +180 durability, Level 2 +210, Level 3 +240. On Level 3 armor (230 base), maxed Protection Set nearly doubles survivability.
Enhancement preserves existing traits without altering type—no risk of losing configurations during upgrades.
Chapter 24 Enhancement Changes
Workstation enhancement is deterministic. Enhancing equipment with ≤3 traits unlocks additional slots. Enhancement never changes existing trait types.
Maxed equipment (4 traits at level 3) can't be enhanced further.
Requirements: armor needs level 2 enhancement minimum for Protection Set; helmets require level 1 Protection Set baseline.
Why Enhancement Matters
Level 3 armor with 2 Protection Set traits: +300 durability. Stacking 2-3 traits reaches 400-500 total durability for extended firefights.
Armor Piercing Rounds I (15%) reduces Level 3 armor shots-to-break from 7 to 6 with 5.56mm rifles—measurable TTK advantage.
Loot Detector increases consumables/components per crate by 20-30% base, scaling to 25-35% at max enhancement. Self-funding through accelerated resource acquisition.

Military Supply Crates: 30-40% Fabled item chance for dismantling components.
Dismantling Yields
Base Fabled items: 1-2 components
Twice-enhanced items: 3-4 components
Fabled armor at Panda NPCs (Misty Port, Arctic Base): 500-800 Metro Cash. Purchase for dismantling to convert currency into components.
Priority Traits
Protection Set (armor/helmets): Highest survivability. Level 3 armor with 2-3 maxed traits = 400-500 durability.
Armor Piercing Rounds level 3: 24% armor damage vs 18% level 1. 6-point increase = measurable TTK reduction.
Loot Detector maxed: 25-35% component drops. Compounding returns—each enhancement accelerates future upgrades.
Enhancing Fabled Traits at Workstations
Locating Workstations
Workstations appear as tool icons on minimap. Major locations: safe zones near Panda NPCs (Misty Port, Arctic Base).
Interaction prompt → Enhance Equipment → interface shows all Fabled Equipment with trait listings and levels.
Enhancement Process
Each attempt requires Enhancement Components from inventory. Interface displays current count and deducts required amount.
Enhancement increases effectiveness 15-20% per level:
Protection Set: +180 → +210 → +240 durability
Armor Piercing Rounds: 18% → 21% → 24% armor damage
Confirmation applies upgrade immediately. Traits retain modifications permanently unless dismantled.
Verification
Inspect equipment details for trait level indicators (I, II, III).
Test Protection Set: Level 3 armor (230 base) + trait bonuses = 410 (level 1), 440 (level 2), 470 (level 3).
Armor Piercing Rounds I: reduces Level 3 armor shots-to-break from 7 to 6 with 5.56mm rifles.
Enhancement vs Other Systems
Enhancement vs Rerolling
Rerolling randomizes traits, risking valuable properties. Enhancement preserves traits while improving effectiveness—zero randomness.
Reroll before investing components. Once optimal traits appear, enhancement locks them through deterministic upgrades.
Enhancement Permanence
Enhanced traits active while durability >0. Depleted durability = unusable regardless of enhancement.
Protection Set synergizes with enhancement—higher durability extends operational lifespan, maximizing component ROI.
Insurance tickets protect from death loss but don't restore durability. Enhanced traits survive claims.
Stash Management
Designate stash sections: fully-enhanced vs awaiting components. Prevents accidental losses.
Minimum 60-90 ammo rounds with enhanced weapons. Running dry forces scavenged weapons, negating Fabled advantages.
Priority Enhancement Ranking
Armor Protection Set Foundation
Level 2 armor + level 1 Protection Set = baseline survivability for contested areas.
Progress to level 3 Protection Set: 470 total durability on Level 3 armor. Withstands extended firefights, enables aggressive farming.
Helmet Protection Set follows armor. Prevents critical vulnerabilities during prolonged engagements.
Armor Piercing Rounds Offense
Level 1 (18%): immediate offensive returns. 7→6 shots-to-break Level 3 armor with 5.56mm.
Level 3 (24%): 6-point improvement. Most valuable against heavily-armored opponents in high-tier zones.
Enhance primary weapons first for maximum effectiveness in critical engagements.
Loot Detector Acceleration
20-30% increased consumables/components compounds over time. Early enhancement creates positive feedback loops.
Max enhancement (25-35% drops): transforms crate farming into most efficient component source. 35% faster accumulation than base.
Enhance backpacks after baseline armor Protection Set. Increased yields fund subsequent upgrades faster.
Protecting Enhanced Equipment
Risk Assessment
Deploy fully-enhanced gear when extraction success >70%. Factors: map position, player count, extraction routes, ammo reserves.
Minimum 60-90 ammo ensures sustained combat. Low ammo = disadvantageous engagements, increased loss risk.
Reserve max-investment loadouts for high-confidence scenarios with route knowledge and tactical positioning.
Extraction Routes
Prioritize zones with multiple approaches and defensive positions. Avoid single-access chokepoints.
Time extractions to avoid final-circle congestion. Early attempts reduce player density.
Panda NPCs (Misty Port, Arctic Base): extraction alternatives with trading opportunities before leaving.
Insurance Layer
Insurance prevents death loss but doesn't restore durability. Enhanced traits survive claims for repair/redeployment.
Most valuable for fully-enhanced equipment where component investment exceeds ticket costs.
Combine with conservative playstyles. Insurance protects losses, but avoiding combat preserves durability.
Advanced Strategies
Synergistic Combinations
2-3 Protection Set traits on Level 3 armor = 400-500 durability for aggressive playstyles. Pair with Armor Piercing Rounds weapons to shorten engagements, reducing damage received.
Loot Detector backpacks + Protection Set armor = self-sustaining farming. Extended raids + increased drops fund continuous improvements.
Dual Protection Set (armor + helmet): comprehensive coverage. Prevents helmet from limiting equipment lifespan.
Component Efficiency
Enhancement increases effectiveness 15-20% per level. Calculate cost-per-percentage for optimal stopping points.
Protection Set level 2→3: +30 durability for same cost as level 1→2 (+30). Linear scaling makes full enhancement equally efficient.
Armor Piercing Rounds: 3-point increments per level (18%→21%→24%). Consistent returns justify full enhancement.
Long-Term Planning
Build specialized loadouts:
Farming: Loot Detector + Protection Set for extended low-risk ops
Combat: Armor Piercing Rounds + Protection Set for contested zones
Rotate enhanced equipment based on component availability. Enhance most-deployed loadouts first for maximum ROI.
Maintain extraction insurance loadout for high-stakes raids. Ensures optimal gear when extraction determines session profitability.
Common Mistakes
Enhancing Suboptimal Traits
Components in undesirable traits = permanent losses if dismantled. Verify configurations match playstyle before committing.
Reroll before enhancement when properties don't align. Randomness acceptable at base level, unsuitable after investment.
Prioritize 4-trait equipment with 3 optimal properties over 2-trait items needing unlocks.
Misunderstanding Permanence
Enhanced traits active only while durability >0. Depleted durability = unusable regardless of enhancement.
Repair proactively, not at critical levels. Sub-50% durability risks complete depletion during extended engagements.
Enhanced traits don't transfer. Dismantling yields 3-4 components (twice-enhanced) but destroys configuration permanently.
Overextending After Investment
Don't let attachment paralyze decision-making. Enhanced gear enables effective gameplay, not conservative paralysis.
Conversely, don't treat improved stats as invincibility. 500 durability still depletes under sustained fire.
Balance aggression with preservation. Enhanced Protection Set enables contested zones but doesn't justify reckless positioning.
FAQ
What happens to enhanced traits at zero durability?
Traits become inactive when durability depletes. Item unusable until repaired, then traits resume full functionality. Not lost—only dismantling permanently removes traits.
Can I enhance equipment with 4 traits?
Yes, up to level 3 per trait. Equipment with 4 traits at level 3 can't be enhanced further.
How many components for full trait enhancement?
Approximately 3-6 components per trait for three enhancement levels, based on dismantling yields.
Do enhanced traits work in PvE?
Yes. Armor Piercing Rounds increases boss damage, Protection Set extends boss encounter survivability, Loot Detector improves boss loot drops.
Can I transfer enhanced traits between equipment?
No. Enhancements apply exclusively to specific items. Obtain similar traits on different equipment by acquiring new Fabled items and enhancing separately.
Most efficient component farming?
Daily Black Market (1 guaranteed) + Military Supply Crates (30-40% Fabled chance). Max Loot Detector (25-35% drops), run crate routes, dismantle duplicates (1-2 base, 3-4 twice-enhanced).
