BGMI launches first ever 500,000 UC competition for Indian players

BGMI has announced its largest community reward event yet, unveiling a first of its kind UC competition titled “Triple Chicken Dinner, UC Winner”, offering a total prize pool of 500,000 UC across three weekends . Running from November 21 to December 7, the challenge lets players convert pure in game performance into real rewards through UniPin vouchers worth INR 750, equivalent to 660 UC.

The competition is built around a simple but high pressure target: be one of the first 40 players in a two hour slot to secure three Chicken Dinners in Theme Classic Mode, then claim the run in the “Be the Top 1” mission. Each day will produce 80 winners across two sessions, totalling 720 winners by the end of the event.

For BGMI’s massive 240 million player base, UC remains a prized currency used for skins, weapon finishes, Royale Pass upgrades and cosmetic items. By launching its first large scale UC giveaway tied directly to gameplay skill, KRAFTON aims to reward loyal players while boosting weekend engagement.

Winners must be above Level 15 and can only claim one reward per weekend. Voucher codes and redemption steps are delivered via in game mail, and UC credits will be distributed every Tuesday.

Red Hat launches Project Hummingbird to push zero-CVE cloud development

Red Hat has introduced Project Hummingbird, an early access program offering a catalog of minimal, hardened container images built to speed up cloud-native development while shrinking security risks . The initiative targets a long-standing tension in enterprise IT, where teams race to deliver software faster even as supply-chain attacks and complex dependencies make security harder to maintain.

Hummingbird provides micro-sized images for popular languages, runtimes, databases, and web servers, all stripped of non-essential components to reduce attack surfaces. Each image aims for a “zero-CVE” baseline, shipped free of known vulnerabilities and tested for real-world stability. Red Hat is also offering full SBOMs to help organisations meet modern compliance demands.

Subscription customers will receive supported images at general availability, while an unsupported version will be freely distributable. Built from Fedora Linux components, Hummingbird extends Red Hat’s long-running effort to deliver trusted open-source foundations for enterprise workloads.
