Under Cap Code Redemption
Look out for 400ml Mountain Dew Original and Pitch Black bottles with white caps, and earn Dew Points by redeeming the codes under the caps on the microsite. It's not just Dew Points you'll earn, you'll also stand a chance to win prizes like UC Coins, in-game items, merchandise, and partner vouchers.

The more redemptions you make, the more Dew Points you can earn, contributing to your placement on the regional live leaderboard rankings.

Treasure Hunt
Just like how you drop and scavenge for loot in PUBG Mobile, now you'll be hunting for loot boxes all over Malaysia, which will help you earn more Dew Points to boost your leaderboard ranking.

You can use this map to search for loot boxes in your region, then all you have to do is scan the QR code at these locations to claim Dew Points and other potential prizes. From partner locations like 7-Eleven and Domino's Pizza to MBO Cinemas and Taco Bell, there are countless loot boxes for you to discover.

P.S. Loot boxes replenish every 24 hours, so make sure you keep coming back to rack up those Dew Points.

Roving Trucks
Residents in Klang Valley will get a special treat, with a Dew Challenge roving truck visiting various locations, including universities, partner outlets, night markets, and commercial shopping areas.

There will be PUBG-inspired activities, such as a special Mountain Dew x PUBG vending machine, an immersive shooting gallery, as well as a gaming jam session, which gives you even more opportunities to earn Dew Points and win prizes.

From now to 31 October, you can join in any of the activities above to try to earn as many Dew Points as possible

Forming or joining a team will help you increase your chances significantly — you can form a team of five members. After all, there can only be one winner. Let's go! ;P

Accumulate points and aim to be one of the top teams on the Dew Challenge leaderboard in your region to qualify for the regional tournament. Finally, teams that make it pass the regionals will qualify for the Dew Challenge Grand Finale. Both regional and grand finale winners will be in the running to win from the tournament cash prize pool worth up to RM200,000!

It's time to go big or go home, play hard and win harder!
