Let's Discuss Skins!

I'm creating this post for all players who're hunting for XT equipment. In Episode 62 of the V-LOG, we've been given a great explanation by @Serene about the best strategy to hunt for XT hulls and turrets. I think it it's a bit circuitous if you need to check the V-LOG over and over again to find the information you need about XT hunting. That's why I created this post, to make it simpler, to make this information easier to find in some way. 

 

“Before we start, keep in mind – by deciding to get an XT mission, you’re setting out on a road of pain and suffering. Today’s guide won’t make it easier, but it’ll help you save some time and crystals. Let’s go!

 

First, make sure you’re a Generalissimo. As obvious as it may sound, some players forget that XT missions are only available to the top rank players.

 

Secondly, remember that to obtain an XT turret, you need to receive and successfully complete a 9999 kills mission with the respective prize. When it comes to XT hulls, it’s 99 999 experience points.

 

 

These were basic tips. Now, on to more advanced ones.

 

 The daily missions mechanism makes it impossible for a player to have 2 missions of the same type. This means that if one of your missions is to “Destroy 20 tanks”, you’ll never get an XT mission for 9999 kills. The same goes to experience points missions, so if you have one, exchange it for something else. By the way, this rule does not apply to missions where you need to earn XP on a certain map or in a specific battle mode – technically, those fall into other categories. So, your chance of getting an XT mission is higher if you have 3 active assignments and two of them are non-XT types. This means you can have any kind of mission except for kill or XP ones.

 

For example: “Collect supply boxes” in one slot and “Finish first in a battle” in another one.

 

 

 

This is the ideal situation for getting an XT mission in the remaining slot.

 

So, you’ve finally been given an XT assignment. Congratulations! You now have two possible paths.

 

If you received an XT hull mission, but want to get a whole combo of unique items, start hunting for an XT assignment in another slot. Later, it’ll allow you to complete both missions side by side, as you’ll be getting both experience points and kills in every battle.

 

If your goal is to get as many XTs as possible by spending the least crystals possible, complete your XT mission first, and only then start searching for another one. The reason is simple: if you have an active Wasp XT mission, it’ll be impossible for you to get an assignment for a unique Hornet or Viking. You’ll only be able to get an XT turret prize, which decreases the overall chance of getting an XT challenge.

 

 

 

And finally, remember: XT missions are extremely rare. Getting one, not to mention several of them, will cost you A LOT. So before beginning the hunt, think twice. May the XTs be with you!”

Btw, why XT? What is XT?

Is that russian word?

[Maf 32,300]

My guess is that XT stands for "Extra"

[Indra_TheChosenOne 114]

In my opinion, Firebird XT will have the best look.

 

This update will encourage gismos to play everyday in order to get one of these awesome missions.

Both thunder and fire are awesome

[The-Drag 60]

XT means "extreme".

[M1-A2 840]

Maybe the only time I get to try out an XT :lol:

I really like the thunder-viking design

[drkiller_the_master 13]

This guy got banned so I posted his pic

[drkiller_the_master 13]

He changed the mission for free lol not wasted even penny

[Hayagriva 107]

Good for feading ego. The same power - and only bigger fun for XT hunters, camuflage hahaha no... so I find that players especialy hunt for XT users. Waste of time, another trick of marketing team.

[Papaya14 481]

Did you guys read this?

Once you get Premium pass, buying even a single XT item will cost you 500,000 crystals. Only the biggest of big buyers will be able to afford all of them! And since they are the same stats are normal M3s, completely NOT worth it!

 completely NOT worth it!

That's exactly what the developers were hoping for. Normal players won't consider them worthy, but buyers are prepared to go a long way in order to stand out and show off their bling. This is what makes XTs so premium.

[Benjamin2719 2]

Hi wouldn't it be a great idea for more XTs e.g. everyones favourite weapon ricochet. What are your thoughts on this idea, here is some fan art made by 'Luka in Shape' don't you think this would be the best XT so far?

 

 

You could have a golden barrel and the old orange plasma can return to tanki (since it was taken away by tanki after the rebalance of 2012, because they didn't think it looked good), cos the orange plasma is the BEST.

 

Post below any of your ideas about a XT Rico + if you know if there will be one coming to Tanki Online or Tanki X. 

[Zenyth 6,494]

Good idea. I'd probably have red + orange plasma balls (a bit like a burning fireball) and golden barrel.

[Amateur 829]

That's a great idea. I think developers can make a better looking one.

[Maf 32,300]

Developers did inform us that XT versions of all equipment will be added eventually. It's just a matter of time before Ricochet XT and the rest of the XTs are released.

I've been struggling to figure out the point of XT (other than trying to get crystals out of players) and I don't know if anyone mentioned this or not, but, it's a clever way to disguise the paint you are using.

[Maf 32,300]

it's a clever way to disguise the paint you are using.

Never thought of it that way. Maybe you're somewhat right, but in my experience having XT basically makes you a magnet for enemy shots, so the advantage of having a partially concealed paint is completely counteracted by the fact that everyone is shooting you instead of others.

If when it is Christmas it would be really awesome if they could make it discounted 50% as well it would 250 than. So you can buy two Xt items if that's what you want to do. Everyone is happy :D

Premium items will never be discounted because the high price is what makes them so premium and so rare. If it's discounted then everyone with buy it and it will lose its value.

Alright that makes sense now.

 

Question why do i never seen u in battles?

[Maf 32,300]

 why do i never seen u in battles?

Maybe because there are thousands of battles every day and it's unlikely to randomly meet a particular person? Logic.

 

Most of the time I play CTF on large maps on RU2 server. If you are looking in EN7 Polygon CPs, I'm afraid you're a bit far off.

If only they didn't made them for sale...

XT items already lost their value, big time.

 

So why not put them on a discount, because this is the direction we're heading.

I'll skip the XT's when I see them on my daily missions list, hah.

 

Too much work for such an ordinary item.

[Buggati_The_Best 1,233]

Ok,this helps

But is still blind luck much .-.

[Thomas11239 366]

I thought XT's were a thing which is not just for buyers, put with premium accounts, they are. :(
