New brawl “Crazy dash”
Attention! The brawl will be available from April 18 to April 24 inclusive!

- 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”.

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).
- 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.

- Clean island;

[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%.
Lacerator
- Damage reduced by 16%.
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).
Narwhal

Fortune

Miscellaneous
