New Random Events

The pool of dynamic random events expands to three more maps: Mountain Pass, Highway, and Ghost Town. Each features spectacular scenarios that reshape the battlefield, open new tactical opportunities, and make every battle unforgettable.

Interface Improvements

Enjoy a smoother and more intuitive experience in your Garage! Based on your feedback, we've refined several interface elements to make navigation faster and more convenient.

You'll now see a clearer crew display with all learned perks visible at a glance, a BATTLE! button added directly to the post-battle screen for instant queueing, and new hotkeys for quicker access to key menus like Crew and Customization.

Well-Deserved Reward 2025

Don't miss out, Commanders! The Well-Deserved Reward 2024 expires on December 2, so make sure to claim it and spend your Tokens before they're gone. Just log in to the game to receive the Well-Deserved Reward 2024 via the notification center and exchange Tokens in a special WDR section of the in⁠-⁠game Store.  

And stay tuned—starting December 3, the Well-Deserved Reward 2025 will arrive with fresh gifts and a special surprise! More details are coming soon—don't miss what's coming!

Sound Physics Simulation 

Advanced sound behavior now comes to most Random Battle maps! The new sound physics simulation makes the battlefield more immersive and realistic—shots, engines, and track sounds now react dynamically to the environment around you. 

You'll hear the difference as sounds are blocked by obstacles, bend around corners, and reflect off nearby surfaces, creating a richer and more natural soundscape that enhances your spatial awareness in combat.
