In particular, it left two marks on the Guinness World Records for The Largest Paintball Word made using 4,715 pellets, and The Most People Shooting Paintball Simultaneously with 298 participants.

Thousands of participants competed against each other in a PUBG-inspired battle across the northern, southern, central, and eastern regions of Malaysia; each vying for a coveted spot in the grand finale at Sentul Depot Kuala Lumpur. After 2 months of intense battles online and on the paintball PUBG tournament stage, only 16 finalists made it to the grand finale at Sentul Depot Kuala Lumpur.
