The fearsome wolves will be able to join the fray in any match. Once they're spotted, a ceasefire will be called. If you respect the ceasefire and everyone stops shooting at their human enemy until the wolves are defeated, everyone will obtain the special Wolf Truce medal! However, if even a single person disturbs the peace, you'll find yourself facing off against foes of both the two-legged and four-legged varieties at the same time.
The Wolf Truce event is available now until February 18th, 10AM CET!
Driven to desperation
During the winter of 1918, harsh conditions and unforgiving battles led to a especially rough season. Supply lines for both sides were disrupted, leading to food shortages and in turn, starvation.
The corpses of those succumbed to malnutrition provided an opportunity though. The wolves were also struggling this winter, but there was fresh blood in the air. Drawn to the battle, wolves reportedly attacked soldiers looking to eat the fallen and those unable to defend themselves. These attack grew severe enough that the Germans and Russians called a ceasefire in order to deal with these beasts first.
The sources on the Wolf Truce are few and far between, however. The stories mainly came from American newspapers; where they got the story from is unknown. Stories shared through word of mouth are often riddled with hyperboles, so how much of the Wolf Truce is true remains unsure. What do you think?
