Scavenger Run is here!

Commanders!

Starting on May 28 (17:00), 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!

Storyline Campaign – Registration

Welcome, commanders.

Before you lies the beginning of a year-long story-driven campaign, which will be unlike anything you’ve ever participated in. You’ll have the opportunity to influence the world of Armored Warfare and the event itself by your decisions and, yes, obtain valuable prizes, the quality of which will also be yours to decide.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

Follow the steps and decide the actions of Samuel Thorpe, a young mercenary hired to do a job, the consequences of which may shake the corporate world he finds himself involved in.

[h2]So, how does this all work?[/h2]

Imagine the Storyline Campaign as a meta-event that overarches everything that’s happening in Armored Warfare. Its goals and objectives can be tied to any mode or any other ongoing event. At the same time, the Storyline Campaign has its own set of rules that you have to follow and the consequences of your activity and choices will be very real.

You may also imagine the Storyline Campaign as something of a tabletop RPG campaign (think Dungeons & Dragons) with us being your game master. We will ask you to make choices. The abovementioned consequences will afterwards affect not only the campaign, but also the world of Armored Warfare and your rewards. For example – if you choose to let a character die by not completing the objective to save him or her, that character will definitely not become a game commander further down the line, nor will he or she help you in the campaign.

The progress of the campaign will be possible to track via a dedicated page on our portal, which is currently still in development, but will be ready by the time the campaign launches.

[h2]Episodes, Objectives and Multipliers[/h2]

The campaign will be split into multiple episodes, each with its own sets of requirements and rewards. The goals of each episode will be decided with the state of the game in mind.

As a baseline, we are looking at something equivalent to roughly 21 battles per week (or 3 battles a day). The baseline requirement will increase (or decrease) with a large number of difficulty multipliers depending on your performance or the choices you make during the campaign. For example, making a smart choice in an episode will decrease the difficulty of the next episode (while keeping the rewards the same), but a series of bad choices may ramp up the difficulty significantly.

While the multiplier itself doesn’t affect the rewards directly, sometimes, there will be multiple ways of completing an objective and the more difficult way (if completed by enough participants) will yield higher rewards for everyone. In such cases, you may intentionally choose to ramp up the difficulty to get your hands on better rewards. There will be many situations where the risk will be worth it and how much risk are you willing to take is up to you.

And last but not least, there will be secret objectives that only a handful of you will uncover. Only the most skilled, intelligent and dedicated players will ever get their hands on these special, ultra-valuable prizes.

[h2]Do we have you intrigued?[/h2]

If this campaign intrigues you and you want to participate in it, please register to it using the link below.



Please note:
  • Registration is mandatory, the unregistered players will not be eligible for rewards
  • Please make absolutely sure you spell your ingame name correctly in the registration (including capital and special characters – if your in-game name is “Levin”, for example, entering “levin” will not work)

And last but not least, this event is currently only available for aw.my.games and Steam accounts. Accounts registered via the armata.my.games game center (colloquially known as “Russian accounts”) are not eligible to enter this event. This is not the final decision; if there is enough interest to enter the event, it may become available on the armata.my.games portal as well.

The registration will end one day after the launch of the first episode of the Storyline Campaign, titled “Prologue”, due to start on June 2, 2021.

We hope that you will enjoy the event and, as always:

See you on the battlefield!

Offer: Middle East

Commanders!

Today we’ve prepared the following items for you:
  • M60T skin for the Sabra Mk.2 Main Battle Tank
  • Merkava Mk.2D and Israeli bundle (with a new Israeli camouflage and base paint)
  • Syrian camouflage bundle
  • Altay Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank
  • Magach 7A Tier 6 Premium Main Battle Tank
  • Sabre Tier 6 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle
  • Challenger 1 Falcon Tier 8 Premium Main Battle Tank
  • Camouflage Loot Crate with Spirithaven Raid skins
Between May 27 and June 3, 2021, the following items will be available:


[h2]M60T skin for Sabra[/h2]


This skin for the Sabra Mk.2 Tier 7 Premium Main Battle Tank is based on the Sabra MBTs that participated in the Turkish incursion into Syria in October 2019 (Operation Peace Spring). It combines a number of real-life elements, turning your Sabra into a Turkish service MBT. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



The skin is available either as a standalone item or as a part of the M60T bundle, which contains the following items:
  • M60T skin for the Sabra Mk.2 MBT
  • Sabra Mk.2 Tier 7 Premium MBT
  • 500 Gold

That way, you can get this amazing vehicle together with the skin. Alternatively, the Sabra is also available in other bundles without the skin.






[h2]Merkava Mk.2D and Israeli Bundle[/h2]


The Merkava IID (also known as Mk.2D) is an advanced version of the standard Mk.2 Merkava, upgraded with a modular “Dor-Dalet” composite armor kit. It’s a tough and unyielding vehicle, featuring a number of battle-proven components such as its 105mm rifled cannon. The first version of the Merkava Mk.2 entered service in 1983 and the last vehicles were phased out in 2016 after thirty long years.



In Armored Warfare, the Merkava IID is a Tier 7 Premium Main Battle Tank. It is not equipped with an explosive reactive armor kit, but is, nevertheless, a very tough customer due to the introduction of the applique armor, allowing it to take a lot of damage. Additionally, the tank is equipped with a Ready Rack mechanism, significantly increasing the rate of fire for the first four shots.



This vehicle is also available as a part of the Israeli bundle, which contains the following items:
  • Merkava Mk.2D Tier 7 Premium MBT
  • Sinai Grey base paint
  • Israeli Experimental camouflage
  • Israeli Flag decal (free bonus)
  • Israeli Flag banner (free bonus)

The Sinai Grey base paint is based on the color commonly used by the Israeli vehicles. You can now apply it to all your Merkava MBTs for maximum realism. The camouflage, on the other hand, is an experimental one and not used in active service. It was developed in the 1980s for a series of trials, but Israel ultimately decided not to adopt it. Still, it’s a piece of history and will fit your Merkava Mk.2 MBT really well. You can read more about both in our dedicated article.






[h2]Syrian Bundle[/h2]


This gorgeous Syrian camouflage was seen in the aftermath of the 1973 Yom Kippur War on a captured Syrian BMP-1 IFV and consists of sand, green and grey stripes. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



It is available as a part of the Syrian Camouflage bundle, which contains the following items:
  • Syrian camouflage
  • 14 days of Premium Time
  • 2.000 Gold
  • Syrian Flag decal (free bonus)
  • Syrian Flag banner (free bonus)

This camouflage can be installed on any vehicle that has the camouflage customization feature available and can be used in all three environments.






[h2]Altay[/h2]


The Altay is the result of a Turkish program to build a true indigenous MBT. After a decade of development with hundreds of millions of dollars spent, Turkey finally achieved its goal and built a tank that is roughly on par in performance with decades-old Leopard 2 variants while it still uses many foreign components, including some of its most critical systems. Nevertheless, future Altay variants are expected to feature some cutting edge components.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

In Armored Warfare, the Altay is a Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank based on the current prototypes, but also upgraded by various hypothetical aftermarket components of the future to surpass its current capabilities and to match its assigned Tier in power. The basic tank is – gameplay-wise – a mobile sniper, much like the Leopard 2 series, relying on its mobility and the penetration of its shells rather than on its armor. There are two key features to this tank: Adjustable Suspension (tilting forward and to the side) and Hybrid Engine with its distinctive electric sound, giving the vehicle excellent mobility and agility.

The Altay Tier 10 Premium MBT is available in our Web Shop via Loot Crates. Collect 100 blueprint pieces from these crates to obtain the vehicle.






[h2]Magach 7A[/h2]


The Magach 7A is an early M60 series American tank, upgraded by the Israelis to meet the requirements of the 1990s battlefield, especially to combat the threat of anti-tank guided missiles that had started to find their way into the hands of various terrorist groups in the late 1980s. The most distinctive upgrade is its box-shaped extra turret armor. While well-protected, the tank was quite lethargic when it came to its mobility due to the use of its old engine, a shortcoming that was only corrected in the final evolution step of the Magach series, the Magach 7C. You can read more about it in a dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the Magach 7A is a Tier 6 Premium Main Battle Tank. With its excellent gun accuracy and aiming time values, the Magach 7A is a good sniper for its class and is perfectly suitable for those players, who want to experience long-range combat but who also want to keep some level of protection and survivability instead of completely relying on mobility and camouflage. It’s a rather sluggish vehicle, but more than a match for anything that it encounters on the battlefield.






[h2]Sabre[/h2]


The Sabre is an interesting British recon vehicle, assembled together from older Scorpion hulls and Fox turrets after both parts were brought to zero hour state (completely overhauled) by a company called Alvis. The resulting vehicle from the early 1990s was called Sabre and, considering it was made of decades old components, it worked fairly well as a scouting vehicle, participating in the Iraq War as well as in several peacekeeping missions. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the Tier 6 Sabre Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle is one of the deadliest vehicles on the battlefield thanks to its rather unique upward-aimed Swingfire missile launcher that allows it to fire over obstacles or while hidden, for example behind uneven terrain. While being quite difficult to master, this ability makes it a potent ambusher, especially in skilled hands.






[h2]Challenger 1 Falcon[/h2]


The Falcon is an experimental turret developed in the early 2000s in Jordan as an upgrade to the Jordanian Al-Hussein (Challenger 1) Main Battle Tanks. It's a low profile turret, armed with an automatically loaded Swiss 120mm L/50 RUAG smoothbore gun, capable of firing standard NATO ammunition. The operator controls the turret from inside the vehicle's hull, significantly improving crew protection. A prototype was built and tested, but the design was never mass-produced.



In Armored Warfare, the Challenger 1 Falcon is a Tier 8 Premium Main Battle Tank. The best word to characterize this lumbering behemoth in the game is “tough” – its excellent hull armor shrugs off most shells while the damage its low profile turret takes when it is reduced by 90% thanks to the fact the crew is not located directly in it. Despite being generally very slow and sluggish, the Challenger 1 Falcon can take tremendous punishment and is ideal for the players who prefer the British Main Battle Tank play style.






[h2]Camouflage Loot Crate[/h2]


Today, we’re launching another Camouflage Loot Crate on MY.GAMES Market.



As its name suggests, this new Loot Crate contains various camouflages and skins. This iteration contains the following new ones:
  • Skin: Kraken (K2)
  • Skin: Archangel (XM1A3)
  • Skin: Revenant (Wilk XC-8)
  • Skin: Hellbeast (Leclerc T4)

To learn more about what's in a chest simply click on it, this will launch a small pop up window to show you what’s inside. You will find everything from in-game currency packs to consumables and exclusive skins that can only be found in these chests!

Please note:

After opening the crate, you will immediately roll on one of the items that are inside this Loot Crate and will see what you receive before you have to actually pay anything. No more random chances – you immediately see what you get and what you don’t. You can then opt to purchase the item you rolled on for the Loot Crate’s price. Until you do so, you will be unable to buy any other Loot Crate of the same type.





We hope that you will enjoy the offer and, as always:

See you on the battlefield!
