CarryMinati is now a playable character in BATTLEGROUNDS MOBILE INDIA. The BGMI x CarryMinati collaboration runs until September 13, 2026. It adds a 2v2 WOW map, a Classic mode boss fight, and a themed collection. This collaboration guide covers every reward and how to earn CarryMinati Tokens. You will also learn which modes make progress fastest. The clock is running down, so knowing where to focus matters.
BGMI x CarryMinati Event Dates and Duration
KRAFTON India announced the collaboration on August 11, 2026. The in-game event went live on August 15, 2026. It runs through September 13, 2026, as part of the BGMI 4.5 season.
The wider marketing campaign started earlier, on August 6. A launch film followed on August 8. That film featured four fictionalised versions of CarryMinati fighting over a BGMI loot drop.

Nothing in the event carries over past the end date. Anything you want must be claimed before September 13.
Why This Collaboration Is a First for Indian Gaming?
Past creator tie-ins in BGMI usually meant an outfit or a shoutout. This one goes much further. KRAFTON India confirmed that CarryMinati is a fully playable in-game character. He is not a cameo or a cosmetic skin.
That makes Ajey Nagar the first Indian content creator to receive this treatment in BGMI. He arrives with his own boss version, his own map, and his own voice lines.
There is a second first here too. The entire BGMI x CarryMinati Collection was designed by NotYourType, India’s largest anime channel. NYT built the playable character, the boss avatar, the outfits, the weapon skins, and the vehicle. That makes it a creator-to-creator collaboration inside the game itself.
How to Play the BGMI x CarryMinati Content?
First, update BGMI through the Google Play Store or the App Store. The collaboration content will not appear on older builds. After updating, you have two main ways to play.
CarryMinati WOW Map
The CarryMinati WOW map is a fast 2v2 Team Deathmatch arena. It is built around close-range shotgun fights. Interactive traps are scattered across the layout.
WOW Maps are BGMI’s sandbox of creator-designed experiences. They sit apart from the standard battle royale format. Here is how to reach the map:
- Launch BGMI and open the WOW Maps section from the mode selector.
- Find the CarryMinati WOW map in the list.
- Download the map, then queue into a match.
The mode is short and repeatable. That makes it a good option for quick sessions.
CarryMinati Boss Fight in Classic Mode
The second route is the CarryMinati Boss. He appears in Classic mode on Erangel and Livik. Squad up and take him down for rewards.
The boss fight is the headline piece of the collaboration. It is also the main source of CarryMinati Tokens.
CarryMinati Tokens and the Exchange Event
CarryMinati Tokens are the event currency. You earn them two ways:
- Defeating the CarryMinati Boss. Boss takedowns in Classic mode on Erangel and Livik award tokens.
- Completing select Play & Win challenges. These are event missions tied to the collaboration.
Tokens are spent in the CarryMinati Exchange Event. That shop holds a separate reward list. Spend everything before September 13, because leftover tokens have no value afterwards.
Every Item in the BGMI x CarryMinati Collection
NotYourType built the whole set around one idea: where frost meets flame. Icy blue and gold sit against fiery red and orange. The result is a mix of streetwear and armour.
| Item | Type | Design Highlights |
| CarryMinati Set | Outfit | Graffiti-print tracksuit, tinted aviators, fur-lined red cape, orange high-tops |
| Cryo King Set | Outfit | Crystalline ice armour, jagged frozen crown collar, golden gauntlets, icy cape |
| Cryo Core Backpack | Backpack | Ice-and-gold shell with red-and-black phoenix wings |
| Cryo Runner Buggy | Vehicle skin | Glacial blue dune buggy with gold armour plating and matching wheels |
| Cryo Fire – UMP45 | Weapon skin | Royal-blue finish, golden phoenix-feather crest, icy accents |
| Cryo Blast Grenade | Throwable skin | Blue grenade with “CLIMAX” branding and a golden cobra-shaped lever |
| CarryMinati Card Collection | Collector card | Gold-framed card showing CarryMinati in his signature pose |
The Cryo King Set is the visual centrepiece. The CarryMinati Set is the more casual pick. The Recall Tower voice is the subtle standout. It changes a moment most players hear every match.
Voice Packs, Emotes, and Audio Content
You do not need to spend anything to build a working team. The early game hands you several Resonators.
- Rover: Your protagonist. Rover unlocks additional elemental forms as the main story progresses.
- Yangyang and Chixia: Both join during the Prologue. Yangyang is a solid early support.
- Baizhi: An early healer who covers your sustain slot for a long time.
- Yuanwu: Awarded for clearing the Stable Zone in the Tower of Adversity.
New accounts also receive a Beginner’s Choice Convene. It lets you select one guaranteed 5-star from the standard pool. Verina is the safest pick for most players. Her healing and team-wide damage buff stay relevant at every stage.
UC Discount Vouchers and the CarryMinati Spin
The event also includes UC Discount Vouchers. They come in three values:
| Voucher | Value | Redemption Limit |
| Small | 20 UC | 5 per user |
| Medium | 30 UC | 5 per user |
| Large | 50 UC | 5 per user |
These vouchers apply to the CarryMinati Spin. Each voucher supports up to five redemptions per account. Use them before the event closes.
How the Collab Fits Into BGMI 4.5?
BGMI 4.5 has been a heavy crossover season. CarryMinati joins a crowded lineup:
- Ferrari Speed Drift Collection. A vehicle-focused tie-in with the carmaker.
- NARUTO. The Ninjas Assemble mode turned Erangel and Livik into the Hidden Leaf Village.
- Spider-Man: Brand New Day. This added Skyline Plaza and Peter Parker’s powers.
CarryMinati stands apart from all three. The others are licensed franchises. He is a homegrown creator whose face and voice now sit inside the game.
Final Takeaway
The BGMI x CarryMinati event is the most ambitious creator tie-in BGMI has run. A playable character, a boss fight, and a 2v2 map raise it above a normal skin drop. The full NotYourType collection adds to that. The frost-and-flame theme gives the cosmetics a clear identity.
The catch is the calendar. Everything disappears on September 13, 2026. If you want the Cryo King Set or the voice packs, start farming tokens now.
