You know, buddy, life in the Wasteland is no picnic. You never know what'll come rolling at you from behind the nearest hill: a traveling circus, an ant the size of a bus, or a band of raiders. But of course, it's mostly raiders. In such an environment, you need something to keep your spirits up. And I don't mean your ordinary kind of entertainment. Luckily for you, I know exactly where to find it—in the rocking, crazy town of Rock City!
It all began about a year ago. In his dream, a local genius called "the Professor" saw a formula for a special fuel that can be made from sand, mud, and oily rags. And believe me, we've got more than enough of this stuff! But... the fuel turned out to be too strong. Pour it in the fuel tank and the vehicle just starts to burn up, its HP supply getting depleted right before your eyes! The weird thing is, if you deal damage to an enemy vehicle, it will restore some of your vehicle's HP. If you fire at an ally, you'll heal their tank a little. Don't ask how it works cause no one really knows! The Professor said something about beta decay and quantum entanglement. Then he filled our tanks with this fuel and created this whole mess...

And that's how the Burning Games started. Burning Games is a mode where your tank's HP burns up right before your eyes, leaving you balancing on the edge. Act fast to snatch your opponents' HP and make their precious points yours! Heal your allies and return to battle even after being destroyed!

Since you found this journal, let me share some advice on how to succeed in Burning Games.
• Don't waste your time! 20 seconds into a battle, the vehicle will start losing hit points. The good news is, even in the worst-case scenario, the total amount of HP won't fall below 1 on its own. But then a well-placed enemy shot will easily wipe you out. So stay sharp!
• To hold out in battle for as long as possible, you'll have to leech HP from opponents. By dealing damage to enemy vehicles, you'll be able to partially restore your HP reserve. The logic is simple: the more damage you deal, the more HP you'll restore. And if an enemy vehicle is destroyed in the process, you'll get 'healthier' with some additional hit points.
• If an ally has it bad and needs 'healing', the advice is the same—shoot. Every hit on an allied vehicle restores some of its HP and earns you additional XP and credits at the end of the battle.
• And don't forget to capture bases! This way you'll replenish the HP pool for the whole team and slow down the HP depletion speed. If you lose a base, your hit points will start fading away at the regular speed. More good news is that bases are captured faster than usual!
• And the most interesting part is that if your vehicle gets destroyed, that's not the end for it. You'll have a chance to return to the battlefield once more, and this time, you'll be even more dangerous than before! Your tank will enjoy increased speed, engine power, and single-shot damage, along with a reduced reload time.

When I asked the Professor just how all this was possible, he started rolling his eyes like a lunatic before shouting "It's physics!!!" and running off into the desert. By the way, he still hasn't returned.
Ah, I nearly forgot! Here's your main advice: to succeed in battle and score as much XP and credits as possible, it's not enough just to smash opponents left and right. You need to catch up on all fronts: destroy enemy vehicles, deal damage, heal allies, and capture bases.

Here, right in the heart of Rock City, something outstanding is about to happen: Korn's otherworldly show! The poster says the band named it Convergence. What do you think it could mean?

Look! Captain is already here! So what are you waiting for?
