Nine-Tails quick answers (July 2026)
Updated on 2026-07-20: added the Supply Shop Flare Gun → BRDM kite route and the in-fight defense prompt.
Question | Short answer |
|---|---|
Where does Nine-Tails spawn? | After a match alert; check the map/compass fox icon. Common checks include Mansion and Gatka, plus other marked POIs that rotate by match. |
When does the HP bar show? | Inside ~100 m. Far shots do little until you close that gap. |
Fastest safe method | Buy a Flare Gun in Supply Shop, call a BRDM-2, mount an LMG, and kite while moving. |
Best guns for the kite | M249, DP-28, MG3 with deep 5.56 / 7.62 stacks. |
Fight distance that works | Roughly 130–200 m while the vehicle stays at ~70–90 km/h. |
Defense tip | On-screen text: Nine-Tails gains higher defense when more players stand nearby. Thin the crowd or peel off before you dump ammo. |
Aggro cue | A red eye over your head means the boss locked you. Keep driving; let a teammate shoot if you need a break. |
Main rewards | Tailed Beast Transformation, airdrop-tier loot, and a chance at Reanimation Jutsu on later phases. |
Priority checklist before you rotate in:
Flare Gun (Supply Shop or map loot)
BRDM-2 or another hard vehicle
One high-capacity LMG + spare ammo
Meds, Ichiraku Ramen for chakra if you use Ninja Run
Squad plan for aggro swaps

Easy kill loadout: Flare Gun + BRDM + LMG
The clean route starts in Supply Shop. Grab the Flare Gun first when the shop lists it. Fire it to pull a special drop. Outside the safe zone that drop is often a BRDM-2. Inside the zone you get a care package instead, so check the circle before you shoot the flare.
Slot | Pick | Why |
|---|---|---|
Vehicle | BRDM-2 | Armor soaks boss pressure while you keep speed. |
Primary | M249 / MG3 / DP-28 | Long belts, less reload downtime during the kite. |
Utility | Flare Gun | Instant armored platform when the shop has it. |
Consumables | Ramen / drinks / first aids | Chakra for Ninja Run, plus HP between strafes. |
Optional | Second LMG | Swap when the belt runs dry mid-stagger. |
Drive with a gunner in the passenger seat if you can. One player steers at 70–90 km/h. The other holds the LMG on Kurama at mid range. Solo works if you stop in short bursts, dump a belt, then roll again.
How to defeat Nine-Tails step by step
Wait for the spawn alert, then open the map and find the fox mark on the compass or minimap.
Loot a Supply Shop Flare Gun (or pick one off the ground), then call the BRDM before you commit to the boss circle.
Clear or peel rival squads near the drop. A stolen BRDM ends the plan.
Close to ~100 m so the Nine-Tails bar appears, then back out to ~130–200 m.
Circle the field in the BRDM. Keep the gunner’s belt on the body, and swap to glowing weak spots when they light up.
Watch the white stamina strip under the main bar. When it breaks and Kurama drops, unload both LMGs.
Scoop red chakra orbs for free reloads and emergency revives, then finish the phase before the next squad rotates in.
Two-phase reminder from the current Naruto mode notes:
Phase 1: Cut HP (around the 80% mark in many matches). Kurama can flee. Loot, then prepare for the return.
Phase 2: Stronger return. Airdrop-level crates, Tailed Beast Transformation unlock more often, and Reanimation Jutsu can drop here.
Boss attacks, weak points, and defense scaling
Read the HUD. The fight tells you when defense spikes and when you are the target.
Signal / attack | What you do |
|---|---|
“The Nine-Tails is watching you!” + red eye | You hold aggro. Keep the BRDM moving; do not stand still to reload. |
“Higher defense when more players are nearby” | Peel, wait for rival teams to leave, or fight with a smaller local count before you burn ammo. |
Roar (slow) | Pop Ninja Run and break line of sight. |
Beam / ground burn | Jump or drive through the edge; do not sit in the red zone. |
Planetary Devastation warning | Hard leave the blast radius, then re-engage. |
Glowing weak circles on the body | Prioritize them for burst damage. |
Stamina bar empty | Full dump with LMGs while Kurama is down. |
Extra habits that save matches:
Stay inside the event area. Drive too far and the bar can drop with “Nine-Tails has left the battle.”
Shoot the glowing nodes with ninjutsu when you have chakra; several patch notes give jutsu bonus damage on those spots.
Crawl into a red orb if you get knocked next to one.
Rewards and what to farm next
Reward | How you get it | Note |
|---|---|---|
Tailed Beast Transformation | Beat Kurama | Buffs movement, recovery, and skill cooldowns; often bound to you. |
Airdrop-tier crates | Phase clears | Ammo, armor, and event mats. |
Reanimation Jutsu | Later phase / rare drop | Recall a dead teammate without burning a Recall Tower charge (limits apply). |
Chakra orbs mid-fight | Spawn during combat | Free reload / supply / crawl revive. |
Nine-Tails Showdown & related achievements | Complete the fight / mode tasks | Pair with Ninja World Traveler and Ninjutsu Professor if you chase the set. |

Ways to keep value high each session:

Spend UC after you clear the free track, so paid skins do not eat your first budget
FAQ
Where can I find Nine-Tails in PUBG Mobile?
Look for the match alert, then track the fox icon on the map or compass. Guides often name Mansion and Gatka as frequent checks. Exact POIs can rotate, so trust the live mark over an old list.
Can I kill Nine-Tails solo?
Yes with the Flare Gun → BRDM → LMG kite, if you manage aggro and ammo. A duo (driver + gunner) finishes faster and survives third parties better. Walking in with no vehicle and light mags fails more than it works.
Does more players make Nine-Tails harder?
Nearby player count raises its defense. The HUD prints that line during the fight. Bring your squad, but clear or space out rival teams so you do not feed the defense stack.
What does the red eye above my head mean?
Kurama locked onto you. Keep moving, use Ninja Run on slows, and let a teammate take the damage window while you reload or heal.
What do you get for beating Nine-Tails?
Expect Tailed Beast Transformation, strong crates, and a shot at Reanimation Jutsu on the later phase. Exact drop tables shift with events, so treat rare jutsu as a bonus, not a guarantee.
Conclusion
For the current PUBG Mobile Nine-Tails fight, buy the Flare Gun, call the BRDM, and kite with an LMG at mid range while you watch the eye icon and the nearby-player defense prompt. Bookmark this page; we update the tables when spawn points, rewards, or HUD rules change. For UC to grab Naruto cosmetics after the farm, open XPTopup PUBG Mobile UC.
