Mode Objectives
Operation Overlord is a single-player battle scenario inspired by the real historical events of D-Day during World War II. As part of a team of AI-driven allies, you fight against computer-controlled enemies.
- Your first objective is to break through the coastal defenses and minefields. Secure the beachhead by targeting and destroying coastal bunkers, suppressing enemy positions, and breaching fortified defenses.
- Work with your AI-driven allies to ensure mission success.
Difficulty Levels and Missions
The mode has two difficulty levels: Regular and Rigorous, with missions providing different rewards for each level. Both levels are available from the start.
Each difficulty has three missions: The first is available on June 6, while the other two remain locked until June 13, when all three become available. The second and third missions mirror the first one but with added challenges to enhance your gameplay experience.
Core Gameplay
- Each operation is intuitive: Rush forward, follow navigation markers, and destroy enemies and coastal bunkers on sight. Here are some highlights and unique play mechanics of the mode:
- Event Map: Battles will unfold on the special Overlord map, enriched with many details and interactive objects to replicate the atmosphere of the Normandy landings.
- Combat Vehicle: You will head into battle in the legendary M4A3E8 Sherman.
Unique Features
- Battleship Support: Surprise enemies by using your shell tracers to help the USS Frankford target enemy bunkers on the fog-covered beach.
- Smoke Signals: Available after disabling enemy anti-aircraft defenses, use these to mark targets like enemy fortifications and vehicles for allied battleships.
- Minefields: The coastline area is littered with mines, so move carefully! You have a unique support vehicle on your side, however. The Sherman Crab will help you and your allies to navigate the buried explosives.
Rewards
Each difficulty level only has one mission available at the start of the event, with additional missions and extra rewards active from June 13. The reward pool includes:
- Credits
- Bonds
- Free XP
- Battle Pass Points
2D Styles and Camos
Rewards also include two stunning all-season 2D styles and two cool camos inspired by the events of D-Day.
Once you complete all missions for Rigorous difficulty, you will also receive the commemorative "Overlord Veteran" medal.
Good luck on the sandy beaches of Normandy, Commanders! Complete historically inspired missions and earn unique styles alongside other rewards!
