Prepare to go into battle in a vehicle of any tier and meet adversaries of any tier! Parameters of non-top-tier vehicles are boosted: the lower the tier, the bigger the boost. With their HP pools and firepower increased, sneaky and compact lower-tier vehicles can help their side secure a win.

Arriving three weeks after the update, the battle royale mode offers a chance to collect Progression Points and earn Steel Seals to spend on various rewards including a well-known but amazing progressive 2D style. Like the last time, you can play in Random Platoons with optional voice chat. Be prepared for tough competition: The skill-based matchmaker will be active for solo players and Platoons!

Battle Pass Season XVII: Combat Ready

Start on the road to rich rewards that include fresh hi-tech 3D styles (for the M48A5 Patton, the FV230 Canopener, and the WZ-111 model 5A) and a trio of tough Commanders. Benefit from the features introduced in Season XVI (the Vault, Battle Pass Circuit, and Vouchers), and pick up a brand-new Object 265T or the ERAC 105 Proto for Tokens.
