Commanders!
The Tales from the Dark Battle Path is launching in July and we’ve prepared a prize overview for you. As you already know, the Battle Path is Slavic-themed with ancient legends being the topic of the prizes. However, we do recognize that there are players who are more into contemporary stuff such as various real-life camouflages. So, we thought... why not have both?
As a result, the Battle Path prizes will consist of two distinct parts – the Legendary and the Realistic rewards are both waiting for you. Let’s start with the legendary ones.
Legendary Prizes
Have you heard the tale of Koschei the Deathless? He’s one of the most important villains in ancient Russian lore. He is a warlock of terrifying power, often living in a dark castle where he is guarding his treasures. His title “the Deathless” (also available in the Battle Path) comes from the fact he managed to store away his life essence.
The essence is hidden in a needle that needs to be broken for him to be killed. But he hid the essence in a needle, which is hidden in an egg, which is hidden in a duck and the duck is hidden in a chest bound to an oak tree with chains.
Our Koschei skin for Armata 152 represents the version of the Koschei tale adapted to fit our tanks. Koschei’s spirit haunts this vehicle and the life essence part of his story is represented by the flying needle (that acts as a machinegun in the game). The skin has several visual effects befitting the position of a primary villain of Russian tales.
Speaking of villains, the Zmey Gorynych skin will also fit your Kornet-D1 nicely. The skin is based on the tale of an evil dragon, another common opponent to Russian bogatyrs. It combines fantastical (dragon scale cloak in the back) and realistic (vehicle camouflage) elements.
We also have interesting camouflages for you, based on other mythological monsters such as Vodyanoy, Stryga, Leshy or Shapeshifter.
These camouflages change their colors based on the base paint you select.
And, correspondingly, we’ll have a number of new base paints for you as well. Examples include:
The decals are also based on an art style seen in ancient Slavic tales. Some are naturally modified to fit the contemporary design and we hope you’ll like these too.
Realistic Prizes
Some players like realistic prizes more and we totally get that. That is why, aside from the above, we’ve prepared some more contemporary customization options for you as well. Let’s start with the Nakidka skin for T-14 Armata based on a design seen during the Army 2023 expo in Moscow.
The skin covers your Armata in the Nakidka camouflage.
Another interesting skin will be the Rusalka for T-62M.
While the name comes from a mythological creature (a water spirit from Slavic mythology), the paintjob and insignia are based on a real-life vehicle deployed in Afghanistan by the 24th Guards Tank Regiment.
And, last but not least, there’s the Military Police skin for Kornet-EM based on a military police Tigr vehicle deployed in Syria. The interesting part about this skin is the police lights that start working when you activate your headlights.
We also have some realistic camouflages for you such as the widely-used contemporary Russian camouflage, an attractive desert camouflage used in Syria or a brand-new arctic camouflage as seen during the Army 2021 expo.
There are many more prizes waiting for you, the chief amongst them being three new vehicles:
Avatars, player titles, loot crates, platinum boosters... all that is present in the regular 50-level progression of this four-month Battle Path (you read it right, we’ll be extending the duration to four months again based on popular demand).
And that’s STILL not all. As we announced before, we’ll be scaling up the Battle Coin income by introducing:
- More free boosters (yes, they are returning to regular levels)
- More Battle Coin bonus income events
- Free and easy to complete bonus events awarding extra Battle Coins
As such, the Battle Path will be easier to complete than the previous one. We hope that you’ll enjoy this Battle Path and, as always:
See you on the battlefield!
