Welcome to this new event dedicated to a modern German armored vehicle. Fast, accurate and deadly, the Boxer MGS is the main reward in the Mobile Sniper event!

[h3]When: From October 3rd (11:00 GMT) until October 21st (11:00 GMT), earn mission points in Ground Battles, unlock stages and receive rewards![/h3]

[h2]Boxer MGS — An Event Vehicle Light Tank for Germany at Rank VII[/h2]

The Boxer MGS is another combat vehicle from the Boxer family. This vehicle is on an all-wheel drive platform which is capable of accelerating the vehicle to speeds of over 100 km/h and features a Cockerill turret with a 105 mm gun and autoloader. The Boxer MGS can fire several types of ammunition, including a shaped-charge round, a HESH round and two APFSDS rounds including the powerful DM63 that can handle the armor of almost any tank at its rank.

Amongst the rewards in the event is also this chest, where, when opened, brings the chance to receive one of the following items:

• 50,000 - 100,000 Silver Lions
  
• Silver Lion and Research Point boosters
  
• Random Wagers and Orders
  
• Universal Backups (1 - 3)
  
• A random camouflage for a vehicle you own
  
• 1 day of Premium Account
  

[h2]How to get all rewards[/h2]
Each stage can be obtained for 45,000 mission points, where every new stage obtained will give you a new reward.

[h3]Please note: After finishing a stage, you need to collect the reward manually. To do this, click on your name in-game, go to “Mobile Sniper” and click the “Get Reward” button.[/h3]

You’re able to earn mission points in Ground Battles at Rank III or above in Arcade, Realistic and Simulator Battles. The number of mission points to complete a stage depends on the game mode and the maximum Rank of the vehicle that you use in battle. There’s a multiplier for earning mission points, which is shown in the task description in-game.

You can also earn mission points by using event vehicles that are Rank I and II. Event vehicles that can be used have the name of the event that they were obtainable in on their stat card.

[h3]Stages change every two days at 11:00 GMT on October 5th, 7th, 9th, 11th, 13th, 15th, 17th and 19th.[/h3]

[h2]Rewards are given when you complete a specific number of stages[/h2]

• For 1 Stage: trophy with a random reward
  
• For 2 Stages: one of the decal rewards
  
• For 3 Stages: trophy with a random reward
  
• For 4 Stages: one of the decal rewards
  
• For 5 Stages: trophy with a random reward
  
• For 6 Stages: the “Modern Sniper Rifle (Germany)” decoration
  
• For 7 Stages: trophy with a random reward
  
• For 8 Stages: non-tradable coupon for the Boxer MGS
  
• For 9 Stages: a unique camouflage and 4 random modifications for the Boxer MGS
  

[h2]Discounts on purchasing stages using Golden Eagles[/h2]
Unfinished stages can be purchased for Golden Eagles, but If you’re significantly close to completing a stage, its price will now be significantly reduced.

Let’s say you have earned 85% of the required mission points to complete a stage, then the price of purchasing this stage will be halved. If you’re near the finish line for a stage and are at 95% progress, then the price will be reduced by five times. For example, if you’ve scored 39,000 mission points, then the price for unlocking this stage will be 499 Golden Eagles. If you’ve scored 43,000 mission points, then you’ll only need to pay 139 Golden Eagles. Remember to keep this in mind if you cannot complete a stage on time!

[h2]The Upgrade for a coupon [/h2]
When you complete 8 stages, you’ll receive a non-tradable coupon for the Boxer MGS, where using it will immediately activate the vehicle onto your account. If you don’t want the vehicle and would like to sell the coupon on the Market, you’ll need the “Upgrade for coupon” item.

The “Upgrade for coupon” item can be earned in parallel with the stages throughout the event from October 3rd (11:00 GMT) until October 21st (11:00 GMT) for 750,000 mission points.

After receiving the “Upgrade for coupon” item, you can convert a non-tradable coupon for the vehicle into a tradable one and sell it on the Market. The tradable coupon can be sold after 6 days from the moment it’s created.

To make a tradable coupon, select the “Coupon Boxer MGS (Germany)” in your inventory and click the “Modify” button.

The “Upgrade for coupon” item is valid until 11:00 GMT on October 24th. Until this time, you can use it or exchange it for War Bonds. Afterwards, it’ll disappear from your inventory.

You can track the progress of completing stages and receiving the “Upgrade for coupon” by clicking on your Nickname > Achievements > Mobile Sniper. If you don’t manage to complete a stage on time or would like to purchase a stage, until October 24th from the Achievements window, you can purchase each stage with Golden Eagles which will give you the corresponding rewards.
