[p][/p][h2]Their Voices, Their Way[/h2][p]
Lara Croft and Duke Nukem bring distinct styles shaped by wildly different pasts. She is a fearless adventurer who can handle any trap, tomb, or action-packed adventure. He is a walking arsenal with attitude—ripping turrets off tanks and dropping one-liners as he goes. You can prioritize getting Lara (voiced by Keeley Hawes) or Duke (voiced by Jon St. John) first, but the real fun starts when you bring both heroes into the fight!
[/p]
[p][/p]
[p][/p]
[h2]The Rides: Ready for Action[/h2][p]
Each of the two Improved Rewards tracks is topped off by a brand-new Premium vehicle with a unique 3D style that fits its iconic character.
[/p][p][/p]
[p][/p]
[p][/p]
[p]
For Lara, it's the IMT, a Tier VIII U.S. versatile medium tank: slender but mobile and quick on the draw. It comes with the "Tomb Raider" 3D style.[/p]
[p]For Duke, it's the TS-6, a Tier IX U.S. assault heavy tank: tough and always ready to put the smack down on the enemy. It wears the "Duke" 3D style.
[/p]
[p][/p][h2]The Loot: Come Get Some![/h2][p]
The Heroes' Paths consist of personal Chapters: 30 Stages for Lara and 40 Stages for Duke, with the Improved Pass unlocked for 2,500 and 3,500 gold, respectively. Both paths offer Base and Improved Reward tracks with unique crew members Lara Croft and Duke Nukem (each with a zero perk), 2D styles, decals, inscriptions, and medals—on top of the tanks and 3D styles!
