[h2]K21 NIGHT OPERATIONS (STRIKE BLUEPRINT) [/h2]
The K21 is the South Korean infantry fighting vehicle, formerly designated the XK21 KNIFV (Korea Next-generation Infantry Fighting Vehicle). A unique design featuring a fiberglass chassis allows for reduced weight and improved speeds without engine modifications.

Together with the NIGHT OPERATIONS Blueprint, the night isn't going to stay silent for much longer. Featuring an aggressive digital paint job that amplifies the potency of the K21’s powerful 40mm main cannon and reactive hull armor, this Blueprint leaves nothing to question: it’s all bark, all bite.

World War 3 is a free-to-play game. To keep things fair and simple, we don’t want paying users to seize a gameplay advantage over their non-paying peers simply because they can afford it. That’s why you won’t find any exclusives on the Battle Pass that will affect your game performance—all base Blueprints for new seasonal weapons and strikes are available to unlock through regular progression on the Free track.
[h2]PREMIUM TRACK[/h2]
Accessing rewards from the Premium track requires a purchase of either the Battle Pass or Premium Battle Pass. Upgrade your Battle Pass for access to new tiers of rewards, including exclusive cosmetics for your Operator, weapons, and strikes:

• Operator Blueprints: Gear up with the ROK 707th SMG, PLAGF, and DMZ Guard Operator Blueprints.
• Weapon Blueprints: Give your new weapons an exclusive cosmetic edge. Arm yourself with the K2C1 Jungle Command, the QBZ-95 Golden Dragon, the SIG Blaze, and the QBZ-95 Dark Forest.
• Strike Blueprints: Get some custom paintwork on your new rides and strikes. Earn the ZTZ-99 Sēnlín, K21 KNIFV, and the IMUGI Black Knight.
• XP Boosters and Currency: Optimize your time spent battling with boosted XP and SP.
• Banner Backgrounds and Emblems: Customize your in-game identification with Redline-themed backgrounds and emblems.

There are many more rewards to discover. Check out the full Battle Pass in-game and via the Operation Redline hub!
[h2]WHERE TO GET THE BATTLE PASS[/h2]
The Battle Pass is available exclusively via the Battle Pass menu in-game. If you want to stick to the Free track, you don’t have to do anything—simply play World War 3 and enjoy your rewards. If you want to push for more rewards and some flash cosmetic items, you can upgrade to the Premium track via the Battle Pass menu.

Operation Redline is now available as a free update. Download and play World War 3 today on Windows PC via the World War 3 Launcher and Steam!
