From December 26th 2 AM UTC until January 22nd 2 AM UTC, we will launch the “Tanki and The Snow Trap” mini-game on a special site. You will conquer drifting ice floes and receive special prizes!
To get your tank to move between those ice floes, your tank will need fuel — Gingerbread.
These are the special event currency. You can track the number of your units of Gingerbread reserves on the mini-game interface.
Here are the ways that you can get Gingerbread:
A Contract is a mission that requires earning reputation points in Matchmaking battles.
Contracts can be purchased from December 26th, 2 AM UTC until January 21st, 2 AM UTC in the Shop for Crystals or Rubies.
After the purchase, open the “Contracts” section in the “Missions” menu and activate the contract.
There are 3 types of contracts in the event:
IMPORTANT information:
Before completing a contract, DON’T FORGET to activate it.
To start your journey, you need to log in to the mini-game website, using the nickname and the password of your in-game account.
The mini-game map consists of ice floes, and on each of them, a surprise awaits you.
But as you know, there are good and bad surprises:
Don’t worry, even if luck is not on your side and you get pushed back, you can receive a reward for each ice floe that you pass twice on your way forward.
A player starts their journey from the 1st Checkpoint. The mini-game ends when you reach the 7th Checkpoint.
After completing a whole lap, the player reaches a checkpoint. There is a special vault on it to store all the prizes that the player received from the ice floes on that lap. When visiting a checkpoint, the player can transfer the prizes from the vault to their in-game account.
Moreover, whenever you reach a checkpoint, you will receive even more unique rewards in your vault.
Increases the turret’s rate of fire at the cost of reduced damage per shot.
Shells used by this version of Magnum feature a smaller explosive charge, saving a significant amount of weight. This results in a higher rate of fire, smoother recoil, faster aiming, and a much higher density of fire. The “Carronade” performs noticeably better at close range compared to the standard Magnum.
On the other hand, firing the “Carronade” at maximum range is more demanding and requires greater skill from the shooter.
Want to get a lot of gingerbreads? Then these missions are for you!
Destroy 100 tanks using light hulls (Wasp, Hornet, Hopper) in any matchmaking battles.
Destroy 100 tanks using medium hulls (Hunter, Viking, Crusader, Paladin, Dictator) in any matchmaking battles.
Destroy 100 tanks using heavy hulls (Ares, Titan, Mammoth) in any matchmaking battles.
Destroy 100 tanks using melee-range turrets (Firebird, Freeze, Isida, Tesla, Hammer) in any matchmaking battles.
Destroy 100 tanks using medium-range turrets (Smoky, Striker, Vulcan, Thunder, Twins, Ricochet) in any matchmaking battles.
Destroy 100 tanks using long-range turrets (Shaft, Gauss, Magnum, Railgun, Scorpion) in any matchmaking battles.
Good luck in conquering new heights!
An IC series turret embodies the harsh power of ice. Covered in a thick layer of Antarctic ice, it resembles a dangerous crystalline beast, its form seemingly carved from permafrost. Every shot resonates with merciless cold, leaving an icy trail in its wake and turning the battlefield into a frozen wasteland.
This turret is made for those ready to face the frost head-on and answer their enemies with cold fury.
You can obtain the Magnum IC skin at the 7th and final checkpoint of the «Tanki and The Snow Trap» mini-game 2025.
This skin will be a true highlight of your collection and another bonus to your New Year’s mood.
Good luck in battles!
In today’s episode, we will be announcing the new mini-game. We’ll also be giving updated on Classic and wishing you Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
You can get onto “Tanki Classic” only through the announcement window in the main game lobby.
You will only have access if you are an early access participant.
The special Early Access offers for “Tanki Classic” were only available for a limited time. With the start of the mass testing phase, we are bringing these special offers back on sale. This is your chance to become a part of the legendary “Tanki Classic” project ahead of everyone else!
This is a test version of the game. It is possible to encounter bugs, issues, unfinished features, and anomalies.
During the test, we will restart the game several times and even temporarily pause the testing process.
We will also wipe the test server database several times, which will reset all your progress.
For testing Tanki Classic, we use new server infrastructure. This may cause unstable server performance during the first weeks of testing. We will be configuring and fixing everything.
No. Early access will be announced separately, 2 weeks before the game is released. You will be able to get access to the game earlier than anybody else and progress your account earlier than others.
Alongside the launch of Tanki Classic testing, we are adding a special “Development Plans” section to the project’s website. From now on, this section will be the primary, first-source of information on the development of the Tanki Classic project.
There, we will announce the key development areas of the project earlier than anywhere else.
Please note: the presented plans reflect our current goals and may be adjusted based on your feedback and voting results.
In the future, we will launch the promised polls for the game mechanics. You, the players, will define the future of “Tanki Classic!”
Feedback can be left on the forum topic of this news.
It’s time to sum things up and thank the most dedicated helpers of Tanki Online for their selfless work. Those who have been working hard for the entire year for the good of the project. They are our pride, the Best Helpers of 2025.
These tankers made the greatest contribution to the development of the game in 2025: moderating the game resources, keeping information up to date across all platforms, testing updates, reviewing reports, and catching cheaters.
This year has been bright and full of action: exciting events, major updates, intense battles, and countless memorable moments. You became an essential part of everything that happened, and we kept working hard to make the game even better for you.
A new year means new goals, new victories, and new opportunities. Together, we’re ready to reach new heights!
May 2026 bring you inspiration, joyful discoveries, cozy moments with loved ones, and lots of reasons to smile. We wish you health, happiness, good luck, and success both in the game and in real life!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! 🎄✨
The event will last from December 19th, 2 AM UTC till January 16th, 2 AM UTC.
For the duration of the celebration, all bots in Matchmaking battles will turn into snowmen!
Now they can be easily distinguished from real players!
In honor of the celebration, they are filled with lots of augments and shot effects!
Contents:
Significantly increases the damage and explostion radius of a Grenade in case of a combo shot. For the combo shot, you must hit your own Grenade with a Railgun shot.
A successful combo detonation of a Grenade requires many conditions to align. The enemy must be at the right distance, the Grenade must be ready, and the turret must be charged. This rarely happens. It’s even rarer to successfully hit the Grenade to trigger the detonation. With this Augment, your efforts will be rewarded many times over.
All you need is one successful hit. Just one successful hit and the enemy’s will shall be shattered.
