Frontline 2024 – Episode 3: Dive Into Epic 30v30 Battles

Mark your calendars, Commanders!

Frontline returns for its third and final Episode of 2024. Prepare your vehicles for a thrilling 30v30 battlefield experience with evolving dynamic scenarios and strategic opportunities to claim victory!

Event Schedule:
Originally posted by author
EU: Start: November 18, 2024 at 06:00 CET (UTC+1) / End: November 25, 2024 at 03:00 CET (UTC+1)
NA: Start: November 18, 2024 at 04:00 PT | 06:00 CT | 07:00 ET / End: November 25, 2024 at 01:00 PT | 03:00 CT | 04:00 ET
ASIA: Start: November 18, 2024 at 07:00 UTC+8 / End: November 25, 2024 at 04:00 UTC+8

[h2]Available Maps[/h2]
In Episode 3, the following maps will be available for epic confrontations:
  • Normandie: Classic battlefields that combine open fields and strategic structures, ideal for both offensive breakthroughs and defensive strongholds.
  • Kraftwerk: A heavily industrial setting featuring tight corridors and exposed flanks that demand a mix of firepower and tactical prowess.
  • Fata Morgana: A desert map with challenging visibility and ambush opportunities, perfect for tactical maneuvers and long-range engagements.


[h2]Dynamic Battle Scenarios[/h2]
Each battle in Frontline brings new surprises with three unique dynamic scenarios, ensuring no two matches feel the same:
  • Standard Battle (34% chance): Combat Reserves are used as per the regular Frontline rules.
  • Operational Support (33% chance): The cooldown time for Combat Reserves is decreased by 50% after the start of a battle or when you unlock a new Reserve, and by 30% when you respawn.
  • Twist of Fate (33% chance): Upon reaching certain ranks in this scenario, choose between two randomly selected Combat Reserves. Combat Reserves placed in slots in the Garage before battle have a better chance of being offered for selection, and the level of Reserves purchased with Combat Reserve Points will increase by 1 in battle (meaning they will have four levels).

[h2]Rewards[/h2]
As always, participating in Frontline yields valuable rewards. Here are some of the most precious ones up for grabs:
  • Combat Reserve Points: Unlock and upgrade powerful abilities to gain an edge in battle.
  • Experimental Equipment: Exclusive equipment to enhance your tank's performance.
  • Battle Pass Points: Progress through the Battle Pass to unlock additional rewards.
  • Bonds: A currency for acquiring advanced equipment and unique items.
  • Universal Manual: Provides experience for all vehicle crew members, helping them reach new proficiency levels.
  • Directives: Useful boosters to enhance vehicle and crew effectiveness.
  • Retraining Orders: Items to respec your crew members and tailor them to your preferred playstyle.

Rally your team and dive into the action! Frontline Episode 3 is your last chance this year to experience the epic 30v30 battles and secure top-tier rewards. Assemble your crew, strategize, and conquer the battlefield before the event concludes on November 25!
