Hardcore Statistics
| Season | Episode of Death | Cause of Death | Remaining Players | Other notes | Last words |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Minecraft #1 | 15 | A single Enderman | McJones, Dean, Barry, Jon | While fighting the Enderman, he is seen switching from his diamond sword to his bow. Had he not done this, he may have been able to live.
The group had just decided to look for him seconds before his death. |
I'm gonna die! |
| DayZ | 1 | Falls off a balcony while fleeing from a zombie | Jon, Barry, Dean, Ross, Jared | There's two- OH I FELL! | |
| Terraria #1 | 9 | Fighting the Eye of Cthulhu | This was the first time PBG was the final survivor in a hardcore season. | Oh it's an eyeball! It's an eyeball! | |
| Minecraft #2 | 19 | Slain by Zombie Pigman | McJones, Barry | Oh! Oh! Help me! Help me! | |
| Diablo 2 | 12 | Gets stuck and is swarmed by enemies | McJones, Paul, Jirard | While in the middle of the fight, PBG was locked in place due to the Zeal ability. Earlier in the series, PBG accidentally chose the Zeal ability when upgrading. | I can't get out! I can't get out! |
| Minecraft #3 | 11 | Burns to death after escaping lava | Shane, Smooth McGroove | While trying to build a base, he and McJones dig into lava. PBG escapes, but burns to his death. | I have two hearts! A heart and a half, a heart- (McJones burns to death) oh and I'm gonna die, too! |
| MineZ | 16 | Falls off a balcony while fleeing from a zombie | Jeff, Brutalmoose, Barry | Austin was actually the last to die, but his death is shown fourth and his face is x'ed out while the other three remaining people are fighting the giant. This was done as he felt it would be anti-clamatic with the series ending by him fleeing from a zombie compared to fighting the giant.[citation needed]
The way Austin dies in MineZ is identical to the way he died in DayZ. Both feature him falling off platforms trying to escape zombies. |
He hears me! He hears me! Okay, okay, he hears- |
| Terraria #2 | 12 | Crushed by a boulder | ProtonJon, Jeff, McJones | That's why you cut it out, Jeff. | |
| Minecraft #4 | none | - | Austin lived alongside Jeff, Dean and McJones | Four people achieved the goal in this season. They would have a battle royale, and PBG would be shot by Dean, seconds after the same happened to McJones. | |
| Minecraft #5 | 20 | Blown up by a creeper | Jeff | Blown up very suddenly, just a few seconds after he calls some wild pink sheep "bad omens". Contrary to Jeff's belief, PBG was at full health. Todd, the editor, saw the creeper approach him, and found his death very hilarious. | These fake pigs are bad omens. Let's get outta here. |
| Terraria #3 | 18 | Burns to death | Lucahjin, Luke, McJones, Dean | Austin was trying to mine some iron, not noticing that he was hitting a bit of meteor on top of him, resulting in his death. | What?! |
| MineZ #2 | 12 | Knocked into the void by a zombie. | Jeff, Ian, Jared | Barry and Austin die at almost the exact same time. | "AAHHHH!!" |
| Minecraft #6 | 14 | Knocked into lava by a baby Zombie Pigman while trying to go through the nether portal. | Chad, Jared, Dean, Jeff | Dodger and Austin die at almost the exact same time. | "I got knocked off! Nooooo!!! AAAAHHHHHH!!!" |
| Starbound | 22 | Takes fall damage on an elevator as a result of severe lag. | Luke, Reese, Jared, Jirard, Jesse | "Can I please, please, please please please.." | |
| Minecraft #7 | 18 | Blown up by a creeper that suddenly dropped from above. | Jeff | Very similar to his death in Minecraft #5. | "Although-" |
| Minecraft NB #1 | 16 | Falls off the edge of the nether fortress, after trying to flee from a wither skeleton | ProtonJon, Jirard | "Help me, I'm on fire!" |
