Epic kick-off to summer in WW3 until June 11!

Calendar summer is starting soon, and with it the long-awaited vacation season, which will hopefully be supported by good weather. However, we are starting our WW3 celebration of the long-awaited summer right now! During the Epic Start of Summer event, you will be able to take many opportunities to acquire unique weapons, operators and strikes. There's also a free hat waiting for you so your operator won't get a sunstroke during summer missions!



The Epic Start of Summer event begins on June 1st at 15:00 CEST / 06:00 AM PDT and will last until June 11th at 15:00 CEST / 06:00 AM PDT. During the event, you will be able to purchase many epic items and get a free hat.

[h3]Free gift for logging in - Boonie Hat Pantera Desert[/h3]


The field hat is a well-known and well-loved design around the world. The wide brim and elastic band are already iconic; this shape has long been used by the military, mainly in woodland and desert areas, where it provides adequate protection from the environment.

The version available for free in World War 3 is an epic item, and at the same time a Polish variant of the hat in Wz.93 Pustynna Pantera camouflage. The history of this headgear is simple, Polish missions in the Middle East and African countries needed adequate head protection while in their military bases, so the iconic shape was combined with a native camouflage pattern.

To claim Boonie Hat Pantera Desert, log in to the game during the event then check your Inventory.

[h3]Summer Heat Operator[/h3]


This epic Operator straight from the desert battlefield of WW3 selected unique uniform elements for his use, so that they protect him from the desert conditions as well as camouflage him appropriately during urban combat. He is distinguished by a special bandana that covers almost his entire face. His head is protected by a full kevlar helmet wrapped in black cloth.

[h3]Dust Storm Operator[/h3]


This epic WW3 Special Forces Operator features near-total protection from desert conditions. His multi-layered uniform does not allow even a grain of desert sand to reach his body. Nearly all of his face is covered by a balaclava, and his eyes are protected from dust and the sun by lightweight ballistic yellow goggles. On his head is a lightweight helmet with attachments for a headset and additional equipment.

[h3]Blaze Bundle[/h3]

Epic Blaze bundle includes two classic weapons in special black camouflage with visible dark-red stains all over the guns.



The SA80 (Small Arms for the 80s) is a British assault carbine with a "bullpup" design, which is characterized by the absence of a visible standard rifle butt, the role of which was taken over by the carbine itself, more specifically, the lock and barrel. This layout of the weapon allows packing all the components in a compact design, which results in no negative impact on accuracy and other parameters. The weapon fires the standard NATO 5.56×45 round. Due to the many possibilities of customization for a particular rifleman or situation, this carbine was and still is very popular, and is still actively used in modernized form by the United Kingdom army and allied armies.



The Vepr-12 is a Russian bolt-action shotgun, developed as a competition for the popular Saiga-12 shotgun. With its appearance it resembles AK carbines, but structurally it takes only some elements from the RPK light machine gun. Its capacious magazine can hold up to 25 rounds, or rather cartridges of 18.5×70 mmR or 18.5×76 mmR shotgun shells. It is mainly used by hunters wishing to hunt a whole herd of game at once and in law enforcement resorts.

[h3]Sand Storm Bundle[/h3]

Bundle includes camouflage for Abrams and for Type XVI vehicles. The camouflage consists of a beige primer and unevenly applied stains in many colors present in desert, tropical and urban environments.



Please note: All items will appear in rotation during the whole event. To make sure you don't miss anything, check out or shop cyclically. Event will last until June 11th at 15:00 CEST / 06:00 AM PDT.

Enjoy shopping and have a nice vacation - World War 3 crew!

May Day event!

Find out how to get a unique Operator equipped with a full USMC Marpat camouflage kit during the WW3 May Day event, as well as elements of themed equipment that your own Operator can be equipped with.



May Day is a folk festival originating back in Slavic culture. Taking place in the first half of May, depending on the region, this colourful festival aims to welcome spring. The details of the celebrations and the timeframe vary depending on the region and the country in which the event takes place.

However, when it comes to the May Day event in World War 3, its course will be quite different from the course of the holiday on which we have based it.

From the 18th of May at 06:00 CEST until the 22nd of May at 06:00 CEST. Log into WW3 each day and then check your Inventory to claim your gift. The full set consists of the following equipment and Operator:

[h3]May Day Operator | Grand prize for a full sequence of logins[/h3]

This unique Operator has chosen his equipment to make any operation during the spring turmoil both comfortable and safe. Dressed in full Marpat camouflage with coyote-coloured accoutrements, he will be perfectly camouflaged both in the teeming forest glade and in CQB in the dense urban jungle. In addition to the Kevlar helmet with camouflage netting, a set of joint protectors and a pair of lightweight tactical boots made from a combination of suede and the latest synthetics to ensure both operator comfort and traction on any surface, including morning dew on blades of grass.



[h3]May Day Gloves | Day 1[/h3]

Hands are essential to the job of Operator. Protect them from the razor-sharp blades of grass and shards of glass that are common on WW3 battlefields. The Marpat gloves with Coyote colour elements will also give you a firm grip on any weapon you pick up.



[h3]May Day Lower Body | Day 2[/h3]

The long trousers in Marpat with Ripstop technology will protect the operator as he moves around the grass and the rubble of the city. Additional modular pockets will allow you to carry more items needed on the battlefield. Modern tactical boots will keep your feet warm and dry.



[h3]May Day Body | Day 3[/h3]

The Marpat shirt, made in ripstop technology, allows the skin to breathe comfortably and provides the necessary protection from the spring environment surrounding the operator. The shirt is overlaid with a tactical coyote-coloured vest with ballistic inserts and several pockets. In addition to the radio, there is a bayonet for the AK family of rifles - just in case.



[h3]May Day Facewear | Day 4[/h3]

Protect your operator's neck and head with the Coyote Balaclava. Not only will it provide the right level of thermal insulation during the morning frosts, but it will also prove to be an essential element of discretion.



[h3]May Day Headwear | Bonus prize for a full sequence of logins[/h3]

Wear a comfortable Kevlar helmet with camouflage mesh in Marpat to protect your head from spring rain and rounds or debris. Protect your eyes from the dust and pollen flying around with sealed goggles in Coyote.
