[previewyoutube=40Ue-oYCWI0;full][/previewyoutube]
New brawl “Crazy dash”
Attention! The brawl will be available from April 18 to April 24 inclusive!
[expand type=details]
- “Crazy dash” is a team PvP brawl that follows the “Assault” scenario.
- The team that captures the enemy base or destroys all enemies wins the battle.
- Battles take place on all maps for the “Assault” scenario from regular PvP missions.
- To participate in the battle, you need to install special temporary modules “Left dash” and “Right dash” on your car; the modules are issued as a gift for the duration of the brawl. When the brawl is finished, the modules will be automatically destroyed.
- The modules allow you to make a sharp dash to the right or left, which can be used to dodge projectiles and approaching opponents or to quickly move to the nearest cover.
- Only armoured vehicles without rotors can participate in the brawl.
- Armoured vehicles with the “Left dash” and “Right dash” modules can only participate in the “Crazy dash” and “Bedlam”.
Special challenges
During the “Crazy dash” brawl, you will have access to a chain of 2 daily challenges:
- Destroy 10 parts in the “Crazy dash” brawl. Reward: 80 Engineer badges.
- Deal 2000 damage in the “Crazy dash” brawl. Reward: Spotter’s container.
“Enemy in reflection” brawl
Attention! The brawl will be available from April 25 to May 12 inclusive!
[expand type=details]
- The “Enemy in reflection” is a team PvP brawl with preset vehicles, which continues the traditions of the “Spring mayhem” and “Confrontation”.
- Battles take place on the following maps: [list]
- Tank range.
- River lighthouse.
- Desolate town.
[*] At the beginning of each battle, you can choose the desired armoured car. If you do not have time to choose a car in the allotted time, the blueprint is randomly selected.
[*] A choice of 5 blueprints with different weapons, movement parts and, accordingly, roles:
- Scout: high-speed and lightly armoured APC with a radar detector. No radar or radio is installed on other vehicles;
- Tank: offensive armoured combat vehicle;
- Anti-aircraft gun: a good option for battles at medium and long distances, vulnerable to flank attacks. Good counter to armoured aircraft;
- Bomber: rocket APC with high damage and light armour;
- Armoured aircraft: aerial fire support. Vulnerable to precision anti-aircraft fire.
[*] The mode has respawns. Before respawning, you need to choose one of the 5 vehicles on which you want to continue the battle. If you do not have time to change the vehicle in the allotted time, you will automatically be given the same armoured car as before.
[*] Your objective in the battle: fill the point scale earlier than the opposing team, or score more points before the time runs out. Points are awarded for the destruction of opponents and for assists.
[*] A team is awarded a win if it scores 50 points and outscores the opponent’s team by at least 5 points.
[*] If the battle time is over, but the gap of 5 points between the teams is not reached, then the teams are given additional time. At the end of the additional time, the victory is awarded to the team that has more points at that moment.
[*] If at the end of the additional time the teams scored the same number of points, the battle ends in a draw.
[*] For the destruction of opponents, the team is awarded points according to the formula “1 + the number of bases captured at the time of destruction”. You can always check how many points your team will get for the opponent’s destruction at the moment by looking at the number of filled diamonds under the team points counter.

Game center
[expand type=details]
- Launched a temporary event for the Game center: now it’s possible to post your brawls at a special exhibition, view the works of other players, and also get a chance for your brawl to be featured on the game world map. [list]
- In order to share the brawl you created, you need to go to the “My brawls” section and click the “To the Exhibition” button. You will be asked to configure who will receive a link to the brawl (subscribers or friends only), as well as to make a name for it from the tags that fit it best.
- After clicking the “Publish” button, your brawl will be included in the brawls exhibition list (“Brawls” tab in the “Game center”). At the exhibition, you can search for the brawls you are interested in by using the available filters and the search bar.
- You can subscribe to authors you are interested in, as well as vote for the brawls that you liked. You can vote several times for the same brawl, but not more than once a day.
- Every day, one of the most highly rated brawls from the exhibition will be added to the brawl rotation on the world map. Important: the same brawl cannot be featured on the world map twice in a row, even if it is consistently at the top of the voting list.
- If the player deletes a brawl that has already been added to the world map, it is removed only from the exhibition, but not from the list of available brawls on the world map.
- If an automatically selected brawl violates the rules of the game in any way, it can be removed from both the exhibition and the world map. In that case, another brawl from the exhibition will be selected for the world map.
- Likes for brawls are saved in the player’s profile and are summed up with likes for vehicle blueprints. You can see the detailed information on likes by hovering the cursor over the total amount of likes.
- The leaderboard for the number of subscribers is joint and is not divided into subscribers from the “Game center” and from the general exhibition of blueprints.
- Added in-game notifications for the most significant events related to the brawl exhibition (a brawl is available on the world map / the creator you’re subscribed to has posted a new brawl / a brawl by the creator you’re subscribed to was added to the rotation on the world map / your brawl was liked by players / your brawl was active on the world map).
[*] Added additional settings and features to the brawl editor (depending on the selected mode):
- Setting the number of bases in the “Domination” mode.
- Enabling / disabling respawns.
- Adjusting the number of players
- Enabling / disabling the indestructibility of vehicles.
- Added the “Chemical plant” and “Ravagers foothold” maps to the “Slaughter” mode.

[/list]
[expand type=details]
Kapkan
- Made the physics of the mine cable more simple: now, at the moment of stretching the cable, only the momentum of the vehicle is taken into account (the momentum depends on the mass of the vehicle and its current speed) and there are 3 possible outcomes: [list]
- if the vehicle’s momentum is below the minimum value, the cable will not break.
- if the momentum is higher than the minimum value, but below the maximum value, the cable will break with a delay.
- if the momentum is higher than the maximum value, the cable will break immediately.
Now, for example, a vehicle with a mass of 10 tonnes needs to reach a speed of 100 km/h to break the cable with a delay or 160 km/h to break it instantly. A 20 tonne armoured car would need the speed of 50 and 80 km/h, respectively.
Jotun
- The damage from the projectile explosion increased by 50%.
- The puddle applies the freezing effect 33% faster.

GL-55 Impulse
- The size of the projectile decreased.
- The perk now requires 8 hits on the enemy instead of 5. The damage bonus of the next projectile is now 40% instead of 50%.

- Ammunition reduced from 150 to 75 pcs.
Mauler
- Base damage reduced by 22%.
- Perk damage bonus increased from 10% to 20%.

Rebalancing of the “Mauler” perk is required in order to weaken builds with a small number of these chainsaws (with 4 installed “Maulers” the damage will be identical to what it used to be).

[/expand]
- Added the ability to find parts of a specific size in the storage via the search bar. To do this, you need to enter the desired dimensions of the part (length, width, height) in pins (the number of cells in the build mode), separating them with any symbols except numbers.
- Now, the parts of the factions that appeared during seasons can be found in storage by entering the name of the faction.
- Updated the background for promotional banners.

- “Copperhead” stadium;
- Ship graveyard;
