As the Year of the Super Pig event comes to a close, it looks like something strange is happening on the Bamboo Stage? Probably just a malfunction with the equipment from the old PandUp Comedy show that used to take place there…
Last Chance to Earn Year of the Super Pig Items!
It’s the final weekend of our Year of the Super Pig event, so that means it’s also your last chance to unlock the 8 limited edition items above as well as the two limited edition Super Pig breeds! It’s also the last days to earn bonus Pig DNA (up to 650 bonus Pig DNA drops throughout the event after matches).
Squads Weekend 2 Starts Now!
There’s no better way to conclude the Year of the Super Pig event than with another Squads Test Weekend! We had a blast playing with all of you during our first Squads Weekend, and we’re excited to be testing some brand new Squads features as part of this test:
- Track your teammates on and off screen better: teammate pins stick to the sides of the screen to let you know which direction they are, and when they come back on screen you’ll see their username and their silhouette even while in the fog of war.
- New Compass UI for important events during the match: see clearly when the Super Skunk Gas is closing in and more easily find the Circle of Life to stay alive with the arrow.
- The delivery mole will also appear on the compass UI to help you track down where the crate will be. It still only shows up when the mole first appears on the map, so you’ll need to follow its dirt trail to figure out where the crate finally dropped (and if you want to keep track of a far away mole crate, you can drop a marker on it using your map).
- We’ve also redesigned player pins, markers, the gas indicator and the mole arrival!
7 New Super Animal Breeds Join the Fight!
Say hello to Super Shepweiler, Super Zebra, Super Maned Wolf and Super Lionness! Super Shepweiler is based on our amazing community member, Freak_OTRT’s dog, Odin (so feel free to also call it Super Odin)! Watch him on the Doggo Cam here: https://www.twitch.tv/freak_otrt
In addition to the Super Zebra (a Super Donkey breed that uses Donkey DNA) it looks like 3 more of Donk’s Super Relatives have also arrived this update (Super Maltese Donkey, Super Asinara Donkey, and Super Mule) and that could only mean one thing…

Clip Submission Guidelines for Episode 3
- 1080p, 30fps video. If you record in a non-standard resolution there’s no guarantees we can use it, but if the clip is great we’ll try to find a way to crop it nicely to fit into 1080p.
- Clips should be no more 30s
- Clips can be high skill (to be featured in the Superest Kills segment) or funny (to be featured in the Blooper Scooper segment).
- Reaction video/audio is encouraged and Streamer overlays are okay, but ideally they’re kept to a minimum (so they’re not too distracting from your clip).
Submit Your Clip Here:
Submission Deadline: March 8th, 2019 @ 11:59pm PST.
