You get: One paint - Imo nothing special, has little value given how many paints there are now in Tanki. One Nuclear energy - again, not much value, it's just one OD use 64 Regular Containers - okay reward, you get 50 directly plus at least 14 from daily Premium mission, but given how unpredictable and nuked regular containers are, it can be pretty underwhelming 14 days of premium - gives you aforementioned 14 containers at minimum, access to one more[or two if next weekend is also special]| UC and NE supply during special weekends, double crystals and stars.. Premium is probably the best reward here, but it depends on how much you will play, if you desperately need crystals, and you are willing to spend a lot of time playing, sure. Double stars aren't too necessary given you can still complete challenges fairly easily. You can get 30 UCs as well if your team wins, but again it is 50/50 that you will get nothing. So it really depends on how much you want to risk that your team wins and that those 30 UCs will actually give you something worth it. But, I believe that for that amount of Tankoins, you can get almost 3 Battle Passes, which provide basically the same if not better value, plus you can actually pick which battle pass you will purchase, and thus you have also a guarantee of getting augments, paints and potentially skins of your choosing. All in All: Do you like risking for potentially getting extra UCs and milking that double crystal premium this and potentially next weekend? Go for the deal. Do you prefer guaranteed rewards - rather buy 3 BPs of your choosing

"Developers"..... xD

Augments and Paints are already available in Challenges, which can theoretically be considered as missions. On top of that, they can be obtained from Containers as well which you actually get for completing missions, so I do not think there is much need to add them as separate missions. When it comes to Gold Boxes, they removed this reward from regular containers, but they are still available in Ultras. Gold Boxes as a reward have a potential to be added as missions again, simply because I think they aren't really that lucrative anymore. Most people just treat them as 1k crystal bonus to drop for themselves. They don't really have much purpose in gameplay, other than potentially distracting players from game objectives (which might actually be one of the reasons they removed them from missions and regular containers in the first place) or for doing some gold rains for friends, otherwise I consider them to be a mediocre reward. Premium I don't really think it will appear as a mission anytime soon, especially since they removed it from Container rewards and made it into a money exclusive thing. The best shot at getting Premium for free is something like events, e.g. April Fool's day Golds. Premium may possibly appear in the future as some sort of rare reward mission, but given the fact they removed it from containers, I do not think it will appear commonly as a reward again anytime soon.

The fact they did this in secrecy without informing anyone and while this augment is in BP feels incredibly scammy....

Seems the Wiki aint accurate, e.g., the Jamming Freeze is mentioned to not have any disadvantages, but I could swear the freezing effect is severely reduced just like with AP Freeze

Nope, unfortunately, you cannot. The prizes are only rewarded once you reach the checkpoint.

Lol, half of the so called "News" from the Vlog is just them repeating the old stuff from forum topics and announcement and heavily pushing buying in the shop.

Really glad I actually hit so many meteorites on the way to the third checkpoint, was worth it ?

Rico is still easy to play, that's why RIco protections skyrocketed.

Gauss has been mega nuked, massive increase to 2.8 seconds for locking, making it basically impossible to get a lock in time on anything, since the lock is so hard to keep with people getting in the way, unless you are locking on camping Shaft or noob unaware of his surroundings. On top of that, you cannot even follow up on lock damage with arcade shots anymore. Even if you score an EMP hit, the effect does not even last till your next arcade shot, relegating Gauss to pretty much a support turret. Even with maxed Crisis, it is almost impossible to score kills.

He does not have to lie, on one of my accs, I too got to the LCs very easily, was pushed just once by the meteorite, on this acc I got pushed like 3 times, on another acc like 5 times xĐ, so it is totally possible to get to LCs without buying and still with some spare energy left, ofc you need some luck for it.

If you roll +2 or +3, you get rewards for 2 steps, or 3 steps respectively,

I do ?

I miss small battles, I remember just how much fun Island, Wave, Combe and Hill used to be. Generally miss the old maps noone plays anymore because of MM, like Deck9 XP/BP, preMagnum Noise, Subway, Canyon, Gravity.. .etc

Will you ever make Juggernaut a mode that is actually not just a boring Viking OD spam mode? Will you make Assault actually playable, it is either a mode with unbreakable bases or with undefendable bases, perhaps you should make both teams having bases and increase the amount of points for capturing flags.

That Rail warm up time is so freaking long... feels like I can get a degree, get a job and start a family before the shot is actually fired

I got Crisis from mission UCs and it is a mixed bag, it can be pretty op at times, other times I feel like Trickster, Booster and Defender would be much better. Also I hate how it is no longer activated by supply drops, that's another huge blow for me as f2p, if I did not have supplies saved from old containers, it would probably ruin my acc.

There's no point in making another Burning Vulcan, as it would make IB obsolete. Literally what would be the point to ever use the IB if there would be another burning augment that does not burn you in return. As for other statuses, I am pretty sure they are coming in our way, I would be very surprised if they would not release these for all turrets since it probably is one of the ways for them to get income.

Would not be so sure about that, I met him in battle as well, burning opponents with Vulcan that did not have IB equipped, soo yeah xD

Opening the Shop today be like: "Wow what a bargain, dirt cheap!"

Citing Wiki: Promo codes—unless specified otherwise—have no expiration dates - that is, they can be redeemed at any time after receiving them. So if you received a promo code, you should be able to redeem it whenever you like, unless you have been informed otherwise when receiving it.

That's why I never ever really try to even get to later checkpoints of literally all of their 'minigames', they are literally all the same boring stuff, the free player is lucky to even get through half of it, and allthough those prizes look nice, that paywall is literally higher than Everest will ever be. I never really understood why they decided on putting these 'progress halting' fields, I too believe that from psychological perspective, it would be much better to have extra steps than being pushed back by so many freaking steps. Imagine tryharding to get those dozens of extra energies from goldboxes as a f2p, spending literally days and thousands of supplies to have all of that gone in a press of one button. Just shame. These games are certainly disappointing and discouraging. At the same time, I think most f2p should have a realistic goal of getting to perhaps 3rd checkpoint at best, I think anything other requires a massive amount of time, collecting those energies in MM and/or massive luck with your rolls.

They could have easily avoid this issue by not adding something as pointless as MK1 equipment. Why they even added something that unlocks within first 6 ranks and is not even worth the prize of old 3500 crystal container is beyond me.

The container update is definitely a major blow. While I appreciate the addition of UC augments, paints, shot effects and drones to the regular containers' prize pool, the rather small chance to grab these very rare items will not be able to compensate for the removal of premium, gold boxes, sets of supplies and the major nerf to the common prizes. Basic modifications of turrets and hulls in containers are completely useless, to be honest. Not only are they badly programmed, they unlock early and are too cheap to facilitate adding them into the prize pool. There is no point in adding a modification that costs 500 crystals, when even on low ranks, you can get this amount of crystals from a couple of battles (or from the common old containers that awarded a common 3500 crystals). Rank up reward is also massively underwhelming as 1 container can never replace a bonus of several thousands of crystals on upper ranks unless you win in the rarity lottery.

Nice sales. I am not disappointed :). Seriously, people need to take a chill pill. There have been an Ultra weekend basically every weekend up to this point, I am certain that is more than enough. People just take this stuff too much for granted. If anything, you can at least enjoy just chilling and not grinding for the Ultra Missions. While I was initially surprised there is nothing this weekend apart from the sales, it is actually looking like a good break from the grinds. Chillax and upgrade your garages....
