Patch notes

Main Changes

Onslaught

  • The functionality of the Annual Statistics screen has been expanded.
  • The Season Statistics screen has been added.

Tournaments

  • Onslaught mode support has been added to Tournaments.

Steel Hunter

The mechanics of the Steel Hunter: Reborn event have been added to the classic version of the mode.

  • Respawns
  • Marauders (AI-driven opponents)
  • Balance changes for vehicles, Combat Abilities, and functionalities.

New mechanics have been added and the existing mechanics have been changed:

  • A timer for the Dangerous Zone (yellow) has been added and is displayed when the player is inside.
  • The progression can now be fulfilled not only by completing daily missions but also based on positions in battle results.
  • The loot dropped by defeated Marauders is now more valuable.
  • The chance of receiving Combat Abilities from Supplies has been changed: the longer the battle lasts, the higher the chance.
  • Now, by collecting Spoils of War (red loot), players will get more XP. If the player's Combat Abilities are on cooldown at that time, this cooldown will be significantly reduced.
  • Now players will get less XP for upgrading their vehicle when dealing damage.
  • The upgrade tier is now displayed above the vehicles. This feature can be enabled/disabled in the game settings.
  • If a player leaves the battle before their vehicle is destroyed, they will not receive any economic rewards.

Vehicle Rebalance:

  • The Huragan and the Bái Láng are now faster, with thicker armor and more powerful guns and Combat Abilities.
  • The Harbinger has more HP and improved guns.
  • Heavy tanks (the Walküre, the Varyag, and the Beowulf) have received an armor nerf: the chance of penetrating them is now higher. 
  • The Raven has less armor and less dangerous guns.
