Force Recon Battle Path: Info and Preorder

Commanders!

Today, we’d like to tell you more about the upcoming Battle Path campaign called “Force Recon” as a whole along with the changes and improvements we’ve prepared for you.

You can now secure the access to the Battle Path early (and with preorder-exclusive items) in the Web Shop “Battle Path” section. The following bundles are available:

• Force Recon access with the Force Recon camouflage and Drone Reaper decal
• Force Recon access with 50.000 Battle Coins, the Force Recon camouflage and the Drone Reaper decal
• Force Recon access with 10 Battle Coin boosters, the Force Recon camouflage and the Drone Reaper decal

Please note: the Battle Coin tokens for the Force Recon Battle Path will be awarded to your account after the next update (and before the launch of the Force Recon Battle Path).

The camouflage is inspired by the pattern used by Russian scouts in Chechnya while the decal is a more contemporary design, referring to the current prevalence of drones on the battlefield, which happens to be connected to the theme of the Battle Path. But more on that below.

The bundles are available in our Web Shop:

The Battle Path has several themes. The main of them is, as the name of the Battle Path suggests, reconnaissance and various elite forces responsible for such tasks. This will be reflected by the appearance of Loitering Recon Ammunition as a part of a full reconnaissance paradigm shift of the game. There will also be some visual assets referring to this theme and we’ll tell you more about later.

The secondary theme can be characterized as “upgrades” and is reflected in the choice of the vehicles. These include:

• BKM-1 Tier 7 Premium Tank Destroyer (which can be considered an upgrade of the early BMPT series)
• Stridsvagn 122 Tier 8 Premium Main Battle Tank (which can be considered an upgrade of the Leopard 2A5 Main Battle Tank)
• AMPV 30 Tier 10 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle (an upgrade over the U.S. M113 Armored Personnel Carrier, which came from a heavily modified Bradley hull)

The AMPV 30 will be the primary carrier of the new abovementioned mechanic and will be unlockable for reaching Level 50 of the Battle Path.

But that’s just the beginning, because the popular Hunter Loot Crates are making a return in the form of Recon Loot Crates, which will once again award you with a random Premium vehicle that you do not have yet of Tier 6 or higher, excluding copies of progression vehicles with permanent skins (or 2000 Gold if you have them already). There will be four Recon Loot Crates available (three as a part of level progression, one for completing the mission series).

Furthermore:

• 1000 Legendary Blueprints will once again be available for progression through the Battle Path (missions, levels)
• The Battle Path will once again offer overprogression Levels 51-60 with thousands of Legendary Blueprints for the most dedicated of players
• A new Legendary Vehicle (the unlocking which requires the ownership of AMPV 30) will also come along with the Battle Path (or shortly after the launch)

As for the owners of the older Legendary Vehicle owners – you will receive the opportunity to unlock elements from the current Battle Path vehicles for your machines down the line. These include:

• BKM-1’s S-8 rocket launchers (in an upgraded form) for BMPT Mod.2025
• Strv 122’s upgraded turret roof armor for Leopard 2A7DK

We’ll tell you more about that mechanism after the launch of the Force Recon Battle Path. But there are even more connections to Legendary Vehicles we will have for you, as the skins available in this Battle Path will do just that.

Not everyone likes the golden/silver Sarpanite lining of the Legendary Vehicles. In this Battle Path, you’ll get the opportunity to earn military-looking skins, specifically:

• Desert skin for BMPT Mod.2025 (based on the BMPT that had appeared in Syria)
• Woodland skin for BMPT Mod.2025 (similar skin, only in woodland pattern)
• Military skin for Leopard 2A7DK (based on a specific Danish Leopard 2A7DK)
• Saber Pride skin for M10 Longstreet (based on a Sheridan Light Tank of the same name)

Dozens of camouflages, decals and base paints await you as well. These will be split into three major segments – the one leading to BKM-1 (with Russian- and Ukrainian-themed decals, camouflages and other items), the one leading to Strv 122 (with Scandinavian decals, camouflages and more) and the one leading to AMPV (with American and Iranian themed camouflages, decals and more).

The cost of the Force Recon Battle Path will remain the same as with the current one:

• 50 levels, 4200 Battle Coins each
• 51-60 overprogression levels with increased cost (awarding Legendary Vehicle blueprints)

Battle Coin boosters will also be available as before – not much has changed here. What did change was the set of missions that were once again overhauled, this time to include various scout vehicles across pretty much all Tiers. You’ll be doing a lot of fire support, scouting and, of course, damage dealing.

The Battle Path shop is getting an update as well with the newest vehicle available for assembly from blueprints being the EBRC Jaguar Tier 10 Premium AFV (replacing the AFT-10). Indeed, the EBRC will be one of the non-Battle Path vehicles receiving the new Loitering Ammunition – you can read more about that in the dedicated article.

We have also added 20 new camouflages and 10 new skins to the roster. The vehicles stay as they are as, aside from the ones from the most recent Battle Path and the exclusive ones, all have been added to the Battle Path shop already.

And that’s it for today, commanders. We hope you’ll enjoy this Battle Path as much as we enjoyed designing it and, as always:

See you on the battlefield!
