A newly-reforged Vulcan to rule them all

Tankers!

 

In episode 239 of the V-LOG, we told you about some exciting changes that are coming to Vulcan. Whether you’re a veteran of this turret, a total newbie, or someone who’ll be giving it another shot, you’re going to have a great time with the newly-reforged Vulcan.

 

But every star deserves a grand entrance. So we’ve created the “Big Freaking Gun” Bundle for Vulcan.

 

Why you don’t wanna miss this

When we created this bundle, we wanted to give something truly unique to those who want to invest in Vulcan.

We want you to go into battle and have something nobody else has on the map.

You’ll sport a wicked look with the brand new Vulcan Ultra skin and Mysterious Red shot effect. And you’ll have a lethal, totally unexpected competitive advantage with the “Rubberized Rounds” Alteration, which takes advantage of Vulcan’s new firing mechanic.

 

But for these items to be really unique, we also need to keep them exclusive.

For this reason, the Mysterious Red shot effect and the “Rubberized Rounds” Alteration mentioned above will be available EXCLUSIVELY from this bundle. More importantly, once the bundle goes away, you will NOT be able to get these two items for a very long time, if at all.

As for Vulcan Ultra, we’re still not sure when it will become available again. So if you’ve set your heart on this baby, you really shouldn’t let it slip through your fingers.

This is your chance to FINALLY own a Vulcan you can be proud of. And it all goes away at 02:00 UTC on Monday, March 2nd.

Don’t miss it.

 

Detailed description of contents

 

New “Mysterious Red” Vulcan Shot Effect

Why "mysterious"? Because it's one of those undefinable, ethereal, confounding shades of red that boggles the mind. And because it sounds cool.

 

New “Rubberized Rounds” Vulcan Alteration

These rubber-encased shells significantly increase bounce probability and number of ricochets when firing. This enables you to attack your enemies from unexpected positions and easily mislead them. However, the increased drag from air resistance has a negative impact on the speed of such rounds.

 

New Vulcan Ultra Skin

The king of rapid-firing gets a cool Ultra Skin. Rip your enemies to shreds and look good doing it. Features improved textures and transparencies, as well as animations and other visual effects.

Now we have Premium Alterations as well? LOL

Genius marketing move. Even Satan wouldn't have thought of that

Premium alterations - items with a competitive advantage that are buyer only? This is a bridge too far. It is OK to have cosmetic items that are buyer only but NOT gameplay and mechanic advantage items. Even if I was a buyer I'd feel bad using this. Buyers already have plenty of advantages as it is, which I'm sure no-one is unhappy with - more crystals/supplies, earlier access to items, faster experience gain, more rewards from contests/challenges and many cosmetic items too. There is absolutely no need for taking this further, this will destroy some of the fundamental dynamics of the game.

This is a terrible decision by Alternativa and if you choose this path, prepare for the end of Tanki. Forget your plans for this and don't have buyer - only items or you can find a new job.

On the other hand this all sounds good, if the alteration was available for everyone. But prepare for major loss of players if this is the new path you are going to go down.

Premium Alterations ? I thought these "Rubberized rounds" would be mandatory for Vulcan when it rolls out, maybe then players would use it but boy was I wrong.

To have items that change your look and make the equipment look cooler only available if purchased- i have no problem with that. But to have items that affect the gameplay, change parameters of turrets, or hulls, or whatever it is, restricted like that, thats unpresedented in this game.

Yeah, I thought they were going to rework vulcan to make it balanced so more players use it, but they just pulled a fast one on us.

Exclusive is never really exclusive if we are talkin about Tanki...

I have bought stuff that were so called exclusive but after a few months most of exclusive stuff appear again in the Shop or in containers or maybe in a random event...

The thing with the vulcan alt being a "one time only " buy is simply not true i'll bet it wil become available in the garage/shop in a couple of months... 

This is just a way for buyers to stand out (and for tanki to get some revenue) for a bit before this stuff gets available to a bigger audience...

Think about Xt's "back in the day" they were only for buyers but now most of the players have atleast one Xt skin...

So what about those who got Vulcan Prime, Shouldn't they also have it for free if they finish November challenges unless if they got it from Containers?

No, because vulcan ultra is now a seperate new skin. The only reason why those who got thunder viking ultra for free was because it was first planned to replace thunder viking prime.
