Commanders!
Today, we’d like to tell you more about the upcoming Battle Path campaign called “On the Hunt” as a whole along with the changes and improvements we’ve prepared for you.
Preorder
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:
- On the Hunt access with the Prowler camouflage and avatar
- On the Hunt access with 50.000 Battle Coins, the Prowler camouflage and avatar
- On the Hunt access with 10 Battle Coin boosters, the Prowler camouflage and avatar
The camouflage resembles a Ghillie suit to give your vehicle that coveted sniper look – ideal for the Battle Path’s topic. As for the avatar – few things are as badass as modern snipers. And you want to be a badass, don’t you?
For more details about the On the Hunt Battle Path, please read below.
The bundles are available in our Web Shop:
On the Hunt
This Battle Path’s theme is, as its name suggests, the art of the hunt. Become the ultimate long-range expert you’re meant to be and bend guided missiles (and their flight trajectory) to your will thanks to a new mechanic called First-Person Missile Control.
The rewards are this time heavily inspired by Armored Warfare’s many different maps. The themes, the colors, the pattern – everything fits like a glove and will allow you to blend in with your environment while searching for your prey.
There will be 50 levels of waiting for you as usual. Let’s start with the vehicles, which all feature guided missiles with the First-Person Missile Control mechanic:
- Bulsae-6 Tier 9 Premium Tank Destroyer
- Pereh Tier 8 Premium Tank Destroyer
- Pantsir-S1 Tier 10 Premium Tank Destroyer
But that’s not all, as two more (older) Premium vehicles await you as well as a part of the Battle Path level progression system:
- Taifun Tier 6 Premium TD
- BMPT Mod.2017 Tier 8 Premium TD
Still not enough vehicles? Not to worry. The Level progression of the Battle Path contains three Hunter Loot Crates. These will 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.
And if you really have them all? That’s 2000 Gold for you from each of the crates. Oh and the first Hunter Loot Crate is available on Level 1. Now that’s a prize worth hunting for!
We’ll have some fantastic new skins for you as well, naturally:
- Ibis skin for Centauro 120 (based on the real-life Centauro used during Operation Ibis in Somalia)
- Buffel skin for Rooikat 76 (based on the real-life South African camouflage)
- Hunter skin for Merkava Mk.4M (covering the vehicle with a camouflage net that changes color based on your base paint)
Dozens of camouflages, decals and base paints await you as well, but the truly important part is that we took plenty of feedback from the current Battle Path to heart and will be making a number of changes based on it as well.
Possibly the most important part is that we have lowered the Level price to 4200 Battle Coins for all levels, which represents a massive reduction compared to Rough Riders. The vast majority of 24 Battle Coin boosters can now be found in the core progression as well.
We have of course overhauled the missions to require Tank Destroyers and made sure they do not require a single vehicle to complete (Scorpion) or require actions unsuitable for Tank Destroyers (like tanking damage). Their rewards are more of a bonus than a part of the main progression, but are sure to come in handy (and there just might be a bonus Hunter Loot Crate for you in there somewhere). Their skipping cost was also reduced to 1000 Battle Coins.
Regarding the Battle Path prizes:
- We are not adding any older prizes this time with compensations – the Battle Path has a larger number of new, original prizes
- More items will be added to the Battle Path shop
- Much like the MPF in the current Battle Path you will be able to earn AFT-10 blueprints
Now, you might be asking, why would you want to get your hands on the AFT-10? Well, that’s because this vehicle will receive an overprogression module (with unlocking requirements similar to other Battle Path vehicles) that will allow you to use the new First Person Missile Control mechanic on this vehicle as well.
And that’s still not all. We have a surprise for you waiting in this Battle Path that we’re not ready to talk about just yet. In the Rough Riders Battle Path, we mentioned that getting your hands on the top prize would lead to something else, and that’s still the case. The On the Hunt Battle Path will develop that concept further. But more on that later.
For now, we hope you’ll enjoy this Battle Path as much as we enjoyed designing it and, as always:
See you on the battlefield!
