Server Maintenance

On the 18th of November 2021, starting from 8:00 CET, the server will not be available for two hours due to a planned server maintenance.



Please note that the maintenance can be extended beyond the abovementioned timeframe. We apologize for the inconvenience.

In Development: Special Operations Mission “Burning Grounds”

Commanders!

Update 0.38 is bringing with it a new season called Exodus. This season’s Special Operations will continue the story of Ivo Rinaldi and Igor Kopylov as they search for a new home due to a volcano explosion near their base in Košice (Slovakia). Of course, things won’t be that easy, but that’s something you’ll have to discover for yourselves.



For this mission, we have modified the Narrows map. The explosion will occur directly in the mission, which is why the terrain and the mood will change significantly during the course of the mission.



Rivers of lava and other hazards will appear, making the ground treacherous to navigate. The rules are simple – don’t fall into lava!



But visuals won’t be the only spectacular thing about the mission. Other popular elements such as an escort objective (for the first time, you’ll be escorting allied infantry) and fighting enemy snipers will naturally appear as well.

This mission will be one of the features initially available in Update 0.38, which will be likely available in early December along with other things such as the autocannon overhaul.

We hope that you’ll enjoy the mission as much as we enjoyed creating it and, as always:

See you on the battlefield!

Scavenger Run is here!

Commanders!

Starting on November 15 (16:00), you’ll be able to earn a major bonus to your next Gold purchase (even a truly massive one, like 80 percent) by participating in the Scavenger Run event.



In other words, in case you win such a bonus and buy 1.000 Gold, you’ll receive 1.800 Gold instead. And that can make one hell of a difference (please note, however, that the maximum amount of bonus Gold obtainable this way is 10.000 Gold).



Scavenger Run is, in its core, a very simple event. There are many ruined and abandoned objects across the world of Armored Warfare and your friendly neighborhood arms dealer ran across one of them.



You are now being hired to scout it out. On a small map, you choose one of three bases and then scout its three warehouses by clicking on them. Depending on your finds (determined randomly), you will receive a sizeable bonus to your next Gold purchase.



This event will be active for several days (the counter in Garage will always tell you how much time is left), so if you’re planning to stock on Gold for the next Battle Path or simply want to boost your progress right now, it’s the perfect opportunity to do so.

We hope that you’ll enjoy this new mechanic and, as always:

See you on the battlefield!

Historical Camouflages – UVZ Early

Commanders!

As you already know, we have another very special event called Whispers of Frost coming in December. The main prize of the event will be the Russian Service Pattern skin for BMPT Mod.2017, but there will of course be other prizes as well. Today, we’d like to tell you more about one of them – the Uralvagonzavod (Early) camouflage.



Uralvagonzavod has a history of fancy paintjobs for its presentation vehicles. These “camouflages” are typically not intended for battlefield use – instead, they are supposed to catch the eye of a potential customer.



You are, of course, already familiar with the UVZ desert pattern we have already in the game. This is another variant of the UVZ promo pattern, as seen during the 2014-2016 Army expos in Moscow on a BMPT-72 prototype. It consists of a light grey surface with dark grey and light yellow sharp-edged spots.



In real life, this camouflage would sort of work as a silhouette breaker, possibly in urban combat. It was discovered long ago that breaking the silhouette by painting lines or other shapes on a tank makes it harder to spot it immediately. In a battle, every split second can mean the difference between life and death.



But that’s not all. There are other prizes waiting for you in the Whispers of Frost event, such as:
  • Real life unit decals (such as the ice bear used by the Russian 61st Marine Brigade)
  • Russian KhV-16 base paint
  • Player title
  • Gold
  • Loot Crates

And much more. We hope that you’ll enjoy it and, as always:

See you on the battlefield!
