During the April 2025 wipe, a player found that the first airdrop on the RustGalaxy USA server included a Pookie Bear. The map showed a pink circle indicating the location of the bear, so a match of Capture the Flag emerged.
The bear was quickly hidden in a metal base that featured auto-turrets on the roof. Multiple raids attempted to capture the bear.
Players seemed to enjoy having a competitive goal, and shared screenshots of the bear when they had it in their possession.
The mini-event lasted 34 hours. The winner was declared in a title ceremony, which was controversial as the winner appeared to be assassinated after stepping up to the table.
A prize of Government Yen was awarded to the winner of this first monthly event. He reportedly shared it with his two teammates.
