Game Mode Updates

The latest iteration of Onslaught will bring several updates, changes, and tweaks. Here is a list of the most important adjustments for this chapter:

  • Seasonal Rewards. Progress through the mode to earn a brand-new set of seasonal rewards
  • Update to Weekly Missions. Missions no longer expire and remain available for completion throughout the entire season. You can track your active mission progress via a widget in the Garage. The Increased Shell Resistance reward has been replaced with an Improved Equipment Token, allowing you to select any improved equipment as a reward.
  • Rank Restrictions for Platoons. Platoon limits are now based on ranks, replacing Rating Points restrictions. The rank difference between players cannot exceed one rank for a two-player Platoon. The difference between the lowest- and the highest-ranked player cannot exceed two ranks for Super Platoons.
  • Fog of War Update. Nicknames and ranks of the opposing team are now visible from the start of the battle, but vehicle names remain hidden until spotted.
  • Leaderboard Update. Now, 15% of players who reach Champion status will achieve Legend rank, with recalculations every 5 minutes (previously 10% and 15 minutes).
  • Onslaught Shop Access. Items from the Onslaught Shop are now conveniently available through the Items for Bonds screen.
  • Balance Changes. Most Role Skills received balance adjustments.
  • Rental Vehicles. Roll out aboard three new rental vehicles: the X T110E5 , X Centurion Action X , and X NC 70 Błyskawica .
  • Map Updates:
    • Prokhorovka and Tundra maps added
