TALHA'S FLAME VILLAGE CHALLENGE ON PUBG MOBILE NUSA MAP

Gaming With Talha, one of Bangladesh's biggest gaming channels, went back to the one spot on PUBG Mobile's Nusa map that has beaten him again and again: Flame Village. In the Friday 8 PM video on October 23, 2026, Talha played solo against full squads, and he put something unusual on the line. Win the match from Flame Village, or change his own name.

The challenge: Flame Village or a new name

Nusa is a small, fast PUBG Mobile map, and Talha usually drops at Science Center. This time he skipped it. As he explained in the first minute, every earlier landing at Flame Village had ended the same way: knocked out and sent back to the lobby. So the goal for this video was revenge. Land at Flame Village, survive and take the full Winner Winner Chicken Dinner.

Then came the stakes. In Bangladesh, a stamp paper is the official paper used for legal documents such as affidavits, and that is what Talha promised to use if he failed.

"If I can't do it, I will change my own name on a 300-taka stamp paper. Guaranteed." (Talha, translated from Bangla)

A rough start, then a smarter landing

True to Flame Village's reputation, the first attempt did not go to plan, and Talha laughed it off on camera. For the next drop he changed the approach and landed on the corner of the village instead of the middle, so fewer enemies could reach him at once. It worked. The early kills came quickly, and Talha joked that he did not know how he was playing this well.

Looting was a race: ammo first, then a better gun, then a med kit. He drank an energy drink, reloaded before every fight and dropped his shotgun ammo to make room for the rifle rounds he needed. Small habits, but in a solo vs squad match every second counts.

Disguises, an airdrop and a ghillie suit

Around the three-minute mark, Talha came up with one of the video's funniest tricks. The enemy squads had seen him, so he changed his whole outfit: new top, pants, shoes, a cap and a face mask. His idea was that the enemies would think someone else had already taken him out and a fresh, easy target had arrived, then rush straight into his aim. He called it his tip and trick of the day.

After a close fight where a downed enemy was revived by a teammate, Talha headed for the safe zone, explaining that on Nusa you will not survive if the zone catches you. On the way he found an airdrop that nobody had touched and picked up a powerful new rifle. Even better, he found a ghillie suit, the grass camouflage outfit, and lay down in the bushes. In his words, he blended in so well with the colour of the trees that he could barely see himself.

The final fight on Nusa

By the seventh minute only three enemies were left, and Talha was short on ammo, down to a gun with 60 rounds. He also had no 4x scope, which he noted is hard to find on this map. A smoke grenade in front of him and a house to the right set up the last fights. He turned the sound all the way up, listened for footsteps and waited. When the enemies moved, he caught them one by one.

"Three hundred taka saved on the stamp paper, and my name stays my own." (Talha, translated from Bangla)

He finished with a line every gamer knows in some language: all is well that ends well. The bad first drop no longer mattered.
