Halloween 2021: How-to Guide

How to Play

Destroy Enemies

You could encounter six types of enemies in battle. Each one requires special tactics.

Collect Mirium & Fill Magnus

Mirium is a special matter you can collect from destroyed enemies. Deliver it to Magnus to proceed to the next Phase.

Destroy the Immortal

Reach Phase 4 in medium or high difficulty for a chance to bring the Immortal down.

You will play as a team of 5 (with the option to create a Platoon of up to 5) and take on a fearsome group of A.I.-controlled opponents whose sole task is to ensure that Mirny remains shrouded in darkness. The goal is to progress through all four Phases (three on Low Difficulty), collect as much of the mysterious substance known as “Mirium” as you can, and ultimately put an end to the mighty Immortal!

Tip: Collect extra Mirium in earlier phases while it is easier. The Aura of the Immortal will drain Mirium before burning your HP.

After completing certain Phases at different difficulty levels, you can find out how the Immortal has become vulnerable. Each part of this story is recorded on one of eight Reels. They need to be decrypted sequentially, one by one, using Decryption Keys that you earn when playing in the mode.

Magnus and Mirium Accumulation

Deliver the specified amount of Mirium to Magnus within the time limit.
Magnus changes its location at the beginning of each battle Phase.
You will be rewarded for all the Mirium delivered to Magnus. Make pay attention to the daily missions for all vehicles.

Once you fill Magnus, it will transfer your team to the next battle Phase and unlock a random Anomaly for each transported vehicle.
If you fail to reach Magnus by the moment of transition, your vehicle will be destroyed, collected Mirium lost, and Anomalies reset.
To claim victory, you need to complete all Phases in order and destroy the Immortal.

Survivor Tips

Plan Your Route

Planning your route wisely will help you meet the time limit and collect as much Mirium as possible. Use the communication system to ping the next spawn point and alert your team where to attack.

Work Together

Coordinating your actions with your fellow teammates is the key to success. Remember that you can't handle this alone. Provide cover for your allies, heal each other with consumables, and keep in mind that the outcome of the entire operation depends on it. Only by working together will you be able to bring the Immortal down.

Focus Your Attack

Try attacking as a close-knit striking force by concentrating fire on a single target and using your auxiliary consumables wisely.

Heal Yourself & Your Team

Consumables that heal and fix your modules, and those of your teammates, are essential to reach the final phase. While the Phoenix ability lets you respawn, you will return with only half your HP and without Anomalies.

Collect Drops

In addition to Mirium, destroyed enemies will occasionally drop green and white spheres that heal you or contain High-Explosive shells, respectively.

It's Turbo Time

Use the speed boost to accelerate a ramming attack for more damage or quickly move between spawn points.

Watch Out for the Immortal

Pay close attention to the proximity indicator that alerts you if the Immortal and its destructive Aura get too close.

Don't Get Destroyed

An obvious tip, but worth repeating. If your vehicle gets destroyed, Mirium will be lost, and earned Anomaly boosts removed.

Dealing With Enemies in Mirny

Let’s take a closer look at your opponents and how to deal with each A.I. enemy vehicle:

Guard (Churchill, Sherman, Pershing, Churchill BP, Patton, or Caernarvon): The basic enemy with “normal” behavior.

Make sure you finish them off quickly, collect all the Mirium promptly, and then focus on more dangerous foes. But keep in mind they can be vicious in groups, so don’t get surrounded.

Alpha (T30): Leader of the Guards and a strong opponent with aggressive behavior.

Teamwork is key to even the odds. Try to take it down quickly without losing too much time or HP and lookout for other enemies that try to take advantage of the distraction.

Rabbit (Luchs): A weak but fast enemy with lots of Mirium that tries to escape.

Act quickly and decisively, but be wary of getting into a difficult, and potentially no-win, situation. The rabbit tries to lure players to stronger bots.

Hedgehog: A fast kamikaze tank that rams into the player and explodes upon contact.

Dodge, duck, dip, and dive out of its way–if that fails, do a barrel roll. Whatever it takes, take them out before they get close and don’t let them touch you. Fortunately, only one shot is needed to destroy them.

Alpha Hedgehog: The more menacing version of the standard Hedgehog.

It's bigger, scarier, and spawns normal Hedgehogs when it explodes. Play keep away and only take them out as a group to quickly deal with the nasty surprise inside.

Hunter (Panther II, E 50, or an E 50M): Persistently stalks the player that spawned it until it is destroyed.

Like a puppy who knows you’ve got a treat in your pocket, this foe will follow you until you give it what it wants. Don’t try to pet it—it will definitely bite.

Mosquito (KV-2 turret): A static bot that can spawn in unreachable locations (like roofs or hills) and shoots from long range.

Try to get into a position where your shots can reach it, or just block their line of sight using cover, leaving them perched like an ugly gargoyle.

The Immortal

The ultimate enemy with massive damage and a fiery aura that steals Mirium and inflicts damage.

The tactic for the first three phases is easy: Don’t engage with it, don’t go near it, don’t even look at it...and when you see it, run! When you reach Phase 4, however, the tables turn!

Take Down the Immortal

Vulnerable spots in enemy armor
In the image below, you can see the approximate location of potentially vulnerable spots in the armor of the enemy codenamed "Immortal." According to our data, these spots appear during Phase 4, at medium and high difficulty levels. This information has not yet been confirmed. The vulnerable spots can potentially change.

Damage Protection by Mirium:
If you’ve worked together in the medium and hard difficulty and survived the first 3 Phases, you will arrive at the boss fight. At this stage, the collected Mirium will prevent you from being set on fire when caught in the Immortal's red dome of doom.
Aim for Yellow Weak Spots:
Causing damage to the Immortal is still almost impossible, except for a few yellow weak spots. Concentrate your fire and keep an eye on its HP bar.
Take Out the Horde:
The Immortal will periodically spawn waves of enemies. Take them out quickly to avoid being overwhelmed, cover your teammates, and always be on the lookout for Hedgehogs.
Load Special Shells:
Use the High-Explosive shells collected from white spheres to cause extra damage to weak spots.
Use the Emergency Kit Consumable:
Make sure to keep everyone going, but reserve your speed boost. The Immortal charges at you or calls in a bombardment. You only have a few seconds to get out of the area of effect.
Target Weak Spots With Attack Consumables:
Lifesteal, Energy Strike, and Pyrokinesis, the consumables that cause damage, have also an effect on the Immortal and will damage weak spots.
The Immortal Is Not Done Yet:
The battle against the Immortal is fought over two stages. If you get destroyed during the first stage, you will return for the second one, if at least one team member survives. But Anomaly boosts are reset and you only get half your HP back. Once you are in the final battle, work as a team, coordinate your abilities, and don’t panic.
