Patch Update #695 - Released 5th August 2022

 

• New augment for Thunder added to the updated Ultra Containers — «Noise» shells

  • (Note) With each shot, this augment applies the «Jammer» status effect to all the affected targets for 3 seconds. Only direct shots apply the status effect

• New augments for Firebird added to the Legendary category of the updated Regular Containers: Magnetic mix, Paralyzing mix, Toxic mix, and Jamming mix

• Added «Megagold» — a rare gold box that gives you 10 000 crystals

  • (Note) This type of gold box is available in all matchmaking battles, not only in just event modes. However, it appears only during some special events like Discount Weekend

• Added the «Jack-in-the-box» effect

• Changed color indication of damage types. Now, Orange color means critical damage and Red implies that a target is destroyed. You can observe that a target is destroyed with the critical damage by seeing the «Jack-in-the-box» effect in action

• Highland map got the day theme back

  • (Note) Evening version will be added as a separate theme in one of the upcoming updates

• Added night themes for all matchmaking maps

  • (Note) Except Iran. Instead of a night theme, there will be an evening one

• Reduced the contrast between dark and light areas on the night theme maps

  • (Note) Night is more like evening now! We hope that it be will much more comfortable to play on Night maps now

• Increased the delay before removing a hull after the tank is destroyed

  • (Note) Once upon a time, tanks did not disappear immediately after being destroyed, and the tactic of blocking opponents with a destroyed hull was a good one. With the introduction of the «Jack-in-the-box» effect, we had to increase the delay so that the detached turret has time to return from the flight and hit the ground. We decided to increase the duration when a destroyed tank remains on the ground to the maximum possible (until a new tank appears) to explore all the gameplay possibilities of this mechanic.
    It will be unusual to play this version of the game, but we ask you to take the change as seriously as possible. Evaluate both pros and cons of such settings. We will be reading your feedback closely.
