Weekend Highlights | 14.6 #2

[h2]Early Access Guide: New U.S. Destroyers[/h2]


The most fearsome gunslingers this side of the mighty Mississippi have drifted into Port out of a mysterious cloud of smoke. Meet Hughes, Osborne, Christopher, and Burrows—four new destroyers coming soon to the U.S. Tech Tree—but you don't have to wait to try them out!

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

The main features of the ships are:
  • Their fearsome guns, which have long range, high damage per minute, and the ability to fire both HE and SAP shells
  • A unique Smoke Generator with a time pool instead of the usual "charge" concept—a flexible tool for both defensive and offensive actions.


You can get these destroyers from sequential bundles available in the Armory for American Tokens, with Burrows available for Doubloons.

You can get American Tokens by purchasing random bundles with Doubloons, by completing levels of the U.S. Destroyers Event Pass, and by completing personal challenges throughout the update.
