[Marcus 17,296]

 

Details:

• Event: October 2021 Challenge Part I

• Starts: Friday, October 1st at 02:00 UTC

• Ends: Saturday, October 16th at 02:00 UTC

• Duration: 15 days

 

Tankers!

 

The new Challenge starts tomorrow (Friday, Oct 1st).

 

In this Challenge we have the unique «Nuclear Energy» supply as well as more paints and containers.

 

Nuclear Energy

 

This supply instantly recharges overdrive. Previously the only way to get this effect was to catch the «Nuclear Energy» bonus box but now you can also get it as a rare prize in Challenges. We may use this supply as a prize in special events, as an item in special offers, or even to give away in the future but only in small quantities.

 

To activate the «Nuclear Energy» supply you need to hold the overdrive activation button. Once activated, the «Jammer» status effect is applied for a short time.

 

Silver tier

 

Containers, crystals, the updated weekly containers, and a lot of supplies are among some of the prizes in the silver tier. All of them are available for free, including the last one - The unique «Nuclear Energy» supply.

 

Gold tier

 

Gold tier prizes are available only for Battle Pass owners. 

 

Top prizes of the Gold tier:

• The unique «Nuclear Energy» supply

• Paladin's «Jammer Immunity» augment

• Hammer's «Blunderbuss» augment

• Animated and regular paints

 

In addition to the top prizes, you also can get tankoins, common containers, and the updated weekly containers.

 

Badger-badger

 

 

There is also a new regular paint to snatch up:

 

Falling leaves

 

 

Battle Pass

 

As previously mentioned, to get prizes of the Gold tier you need to have the Battle Pass. Its price is 700 Tankoins. If you complete all the steps of the Challenge you can get rare and valuable augments, paints, containers, and tankoins.

Within 5 days from the start of the Challenge, the special «Combo Pass» bundle with the Battle Pass and 3 days of Premium Pass will be available in the Showcase for 1000 tankoins.

 

Stars

 

The number of stars you need to get in order to complete the challenge is 3000 stars.

 

Stars can be earned in 2 ways. The first is by finishing Matchmaking battles - when a battle finishes, players who were in it will receive a number of Stars based on their position on the final scoreboard, and whether their team won or lost (this does not apply to solo battle modes such as JGR and DM).

 

The second way to earn stars is by completing Missions. For each daily mission you complete, you will receive 30, 50, or 70 stars, and for each weekly mission, you will receive 100, 150, or 200 stars.

 

How to complete the challenge faster

 

You can always snatch a Stars Bundle from the Shop and give yourself a nice boost. Don’t let those cool top tier rewards slip through your fingers!

 

And with Premium Pass, you will receive twice as many stars for each battle!

 

So, log into the game on Friday (October 1st) and start collecting those Stars!

My favourite Blunderbuss and badger-badger paint, I'm buying this BP for sure, great to see a BP this good in a while. Also, nice cost nerf  ^^

[numericable 2,375]

Bad challenge, the blunderbuss is a bad augment, there is already a paint called "falling leaves" why making one with the same name? Also, the new supply will give full recharge or just jamming effect ?

Moreover, the battle pass' price has increase by 200 tankoins, it went from a net 500 tankoins to 700 tankoins...

full recharge of Overdrive. But at least they give it to f2p players as well. (probably in the last stage of the battle pass)

[OnlyGodCanJudgeM_e 199]

Hmm, new supply...

[LONDON.ENGLAND 302]

BP is only 700 tankoins? So dropped again or another typo? 

[northstar 85]

Weekly container! I love the 1st tier of new challenge.

remember the weekly missions change?

some won't finish it in fear of reaching higher ranks too quick with low combos

[Iron_Man 2,376]

To think I got Blunderbuss just today from Ultra weekend UC. I guess my luck just doesn't want to cooperate with me.

It's not better since you will not earn tankoins back, atleast when u had to buy it for 1k, you could get 500 tankoins back

yeah I see what you mean but I think it is quite nice for f2p players getting the opportunity to get the new supply as well yk?

[Marekos1111 3,091]

Sounds interesting 

[numericable 2,375]

Bruh that supply will be unbalanced, it would not be the same to use it for a crusader and for a viking hull, viking would be way more useful.

[TESL4 426]

p2w overdrives lmaooo. Terrible update.

however imagine if top 3 missions pop up on 3rd one it will be a bit harder to finish challenges

[LSHTV 229]

i would like to see gauss or vulcan shot effect once in challenge instead of regular paint... XD and skin container :/ i finaly got enought tankoins to buy battle pass and i see skin container is removed :/

"The unique «Nuclear Energy» supply"

 

This will further ruin the game. Now we will have OP Players that will be able to activate their OD on-demand, or twice in a row. Double jump Hoppers + Crisis and double OD Paladins.

 

[pocrettttt 277]

Blunderess 2460 stars needed 

But 15 minutes of battles(.............................................................................)

(Please move the augment to the level 15 :)          )

And why are we getting an augment that we dont have the hull?

 

 

[yoni292 226]

Here is the tiers from the russian Wiki

https://ru.tankiwiki.com/CHellendji

According to it there is not tankoins back in the gold tier except for 24 which are given in the weekly containers.

Edit: Only two augments in the gold tier, but more regular containers. What's the use of Jammer for Paladin if I don't have Paladin?

I haven't grinded for stars in months. But now...

Overall I think this is totally unnecessary. The Nuclear Energy box isn't unique any more. But oh well. It is cool.

[Iron_Man 2,376]

Well, for those who are wondering how good Blunderbuss is, if to buy this BP or not, I'll make your day easy by giving my complete review on that augment.

So for a regular hammer user, who uses slugger or stock hammer, this is quite hard to get accustomed to, considering the great pellet spread. For me it was literally re-learning on how to use the turret, well that's a bit inflated word but more or less, yes.

The thing is that it has insanely good damage. Regular damage is cool but the interesting part is critical damage. Each pellet deals the max damage, which I feel is really cool. Honestly, Mk8 Hammer dealing 1800 on critical hits on each pellet, is just insane. Prior to getting it, I deemed that it was downright OP but now, oh well compared to tesla nothing is OP, I take back that word of mine.

It is a very strong turret augment, only if you actually manage to land the right shot at the right time. Since number of pellets and pellet spread are increased, each pellet kinda deals less regular damage.

BUT the most important aspect of this augment is that it becomes OP only when you use it with Booster.

So unless you use it with booster, it is just another strong augment and I'd honestly not suggest using it with any other drone, since it would only be a pure waste. Mk8 Hammer with Maxed booster deals very very good damage.

It goes well with mostly light hulls and medium ones do okay with it. So that's my comprehensive review of this augment.

To be honest, if you prefer augments which perform better even without Booster, my word would be AP or EMP Hammer. But no doubt, blunderbuss is a very good augment.
