Rough Riders Battle Path: Info and Preorder

Commanders!

Today, we’d like to tell you more about the upcoming Rough Riders Battle Path campaign 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:

• Rough Riders access with the Cavalry Blues camouflage and the Modern Cavalryman player avatar
• Rough Riders access with 50.000 Battle Coins, the Cavalry Blues camouflage and the Modern Cavalryman player avatar
• Rough Riders access with 10 Battle Coin boosters, the Cavalry Blues camouflage and the Modern Cavalryman player avatar

Please note that the access price in Gold will increase from 3.999 Gold to 5.999 Gold at the launch of the event. However, the compensation for receiving the access multiple times remains 3.999 Gold for all such cases.

The camouflage gives your vehicle a subtle rusty, worn-look only acquired by long years of service. If you’re not into flamboyant patterns, this is the right camouflage for you.

For more details about the Rough Riders Battle Path, please read below.

The bundles are available in our Web Shop:

The Rough Riders Battle Path is focused on U.S. cavalry, from its humble beginnings in the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, the Rough Riders era of the late 19th century and both world wars to its transformation to the Armored Cavalry branch after the Vietnam War. The rewards will therefore be theme-appropriate, but there’s also a different theme at play here.

There will be 50 levels of waiting for you as usual. Let’s start with the vehicles:

• ELKE Tier 7 Premium LT for reaching Level 20 (featuring an elevated weapons station allowing you to ambush your enemies with ease)
• RDF/LT Ares Tier 8 Premium LT for reaching Level 35 (featuring powerful missile launchers as well as 75mm gun)
• XM1302 Tier 10 Premium LT for reaching Level 50 (featuring new “Mitigation” passive ability – the faster you go, the less damage you take)

There will of course be new epic skins based on real-life vehicles, such as:

• M60A3 “Crustacean” for the M60A3
• M3A2 Cavalry Vehicle for the M2 Bradley
• IPM1 “Danger Zone” for the M1 Abrams

Each comes with its unique story of U.S. service. New camouflages, decals and base paints will also come with this Battle Path.

However, there’s also a major change that’s new with this Battle Path because it will allow you to earn previously released content as well as new.

This content includes several new Premium vehicles, epic American skins and more. Here are a few examples of items you will also earn:

• T92 ACAV Tier 2 Premium Light Tank
• RDF/LT Tier 6 Premium Light Tank
• M60A3 SLEP Tier 6 Premium Main Battle Tank
• Expeditionary LT Tier 6 Premium Light Tank
• Full set of Prime skins
• Freedom Rider skin
• Ridgway skin for M8-120
• Rough Rider skin for M60A3 SLEP
• Gunslinger skin for the T249 Vigilante
• Full set of MERDCS camouflages
• Reforger 83 camouflages
• Skins for the reward Light Tanks mentioned above (such as Acid and Reaper)

And much more. And if you are worried about the performance of your new Light Tanks – don’t be. They will be receive a comprehensive buff along with the release of the Battle Path. If you own any of these rewards already, you’ll receive Battle Coins instead, making your progression through the Battle Path faster.

But that is still not all. After all, what would a Battle Path be without a commander? Commander Anthony Diaz will be making an appearance after nearly a decade of exile. You may have forgotten him but he has not forgotten you! This rugged commander has a set of versatile skills that make him suitable for a lot of vehicles.

There are a few players who acquired his services in the past. To recognize their long service, these players will be rewarded with a lot of Battle Coins if they own Anthony Diaz.

The missions have been overhauled once again. This time, the missions will require Light Tanks, so better stock up on those – or use those you acquire from the Battle Path, they should perform fine in their new upgraded forms. Instead of high-stakes challenges, the missions have become a source of additional Battle Path boosters, Battle Coins and other goodies (and are therefore easier to complete than before).

And, last but not least, we have added a couple of things to the Battle Path shop as usual – for the standardized prizes, of course. The rest of the Battle Path remains mostly the same. The Battle Path is currently planned to launch in the second half of July but, as usual, the specific date will be announced a bit later. We hope you’ll enjoy this Battle Path as much as we enjoyed designing it and, as always:

See you on the battlefield!
