Commanders!
The Shadow Protocol Battle Path is coming in early April and we’d like to take a moment to tell you more about its prizes.
The topic of the Shadow Protocol Battle Path is mercenaries – their history, recent and not-so-recent conflicts in which they participated and, of course, the future. But before we take a look at each of these segments, let’s take a look at the main prizes of this Battle Path.
The main prizes are, of course, the vehicles. There are three:
- T-64BV Mod.2022 Tier 8 Premium MBT for reaching Level 20 (representing the “past” aspect)
- Borsuk Tier 10 Premium AFV for reaching Level 35 (representing the “contemporary” aspect)
- KNIFV NLOS LPS Tier 10 Premium TD for reaching Level 50 (representing the “future” aspect)
You can see them on the images below:
This Battle Path is also bringing a new special ability available on the Borsuk called Repair Zone that is slowly healing nearby teammates as well as you.
You’ll also have the opportunity to earn other amazing prizes, including exclusive skins that will not be available by any other means:
- Golden Snake skin for VN20 for completing the first mission chain
- Snake skin for Cheonma-2 for completing the second mission chain
- Golden Lion skin for Puma for completing the third mission chain
- Future Tech skin for EMBT for completing the fourth and final mission chain
- Three Tank Biathlon skins for Type 96B for reaching Level 36
Take a look:
But that’s not all. You can earn more Premium vehicles during the Battle Path:
- M1A1 AIM Tier 8 Premium MBT for reaching Level 45 (it’ll come in handy, we have a new skin for it)
- Up to 30 Premium vehicles via the brand-new Mercenary Loot Crates (that also contain Premium commanders, but no trash prizes – just Gold)
And that’s STILL not all. There are many other prizes awaiting you as you progress through the Battle Path. Let’s take a look at some of them.
Levels 1 to 20 are dedicated to the past. After the Second World War, mercenaries have popped up across the world. Men who grew up during the largest conflict in human history were not ready to put down their arms just yet and sought freedom and adventure.
They saw the world change. The colonial wars in Africa gave way to various regional conflicts in the Middle East and the former Soviet Union. We’ll have a number of relevant camouflages, decals and flags for you, each coming with a description tying it to the topic of the Battle Path.
We have three new skins for you in this Battle Path and the one representing the past comes from the Libyan Crisis that saw a wide use of mercenaries. In 2014, the movie Fury came out, inspiring the fighters to name their old T-72 Ural that way. The “Fury” skin does represent this vehicle. And since the Ural isn’t performing so well right now, we’ll buff it a bit. Or maybe not just a bit.
Levels 21 to 35 are dedicated to the present – or the not so distant past. The Russo-Georgian war involved mercenaries, as did the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan, which culminated in 2023 by the collapse of Artsakh. We’ll touch upon the Syrian Civil War and, of course, the ongoing mercenary involvement in central Africa.
The skin representing the present is called “Winged Hussar” and is loosely based on a KTO Rosomak recently shown in Poland and featuring a painting of the famous winged hussars that saved Vienna from Turkish onslaught. Not to worry, we are aware the Rosomak is underperforming right now and we’ll buff it as well.
And, finally, levels 36 to 50 are dedicated to the future. The eyes of the world slowly turn to the east where the dragon is awakening from its centuries-old slumber – and it is hungry. This part of the Battle Path covers the Pacific with its camouflages and decals.
The final new skin is the “Australian M1A1 AIM” one, changing your M1A1 AIM’s appearance, as the name suggests, to the one used by the Australian army – specifically to a tank called Azrael.
These are just examples and there will be many more prizes in this Battle Path. We hope that you’ll enjoy this event that is coming soon and, as always:
See you on the battlefield!
