Learn the Rules of Engagement
Co-Op PvE. Jump into your favorite Tier VIII MT, HT, or TD—and team up with other tankers to stop consecutive waves of enemies.
New Map and ATLAS. Echo tanks have invaded our world. Engage them on a familiar map, and protect the ATLAS complex.
Obelisks. These levitating entities spawn randomly on the map and tether themselves to echo tanks by Phase Links, establishing a shared HP pool.
Difficulty Levels. Start on the Basic difficulty and win a battle to unlock the Intense difficulty; prevail there to make the Brutal difficulty available.
Complete the Event Progression
Earn Object Shards, a set of five unique 3D attachments, Experimental Equipment, Battle Pass Points, bonds, credits, and more. In addition, all your vehicles are enhanced (for event battles) with every completed Stage!
Your first victory over echo tanks on Brutal difficulty will be rewarded with a unique badge and one Object Shard.
Data Points advance you through 10 Stages of the Progression. You get them for participating in event battles, destroying Obelisks, and completing daily missions.
Grasp Objects
These storage devices are based on extremely advanced technology involving controlled singularities and dimensional pockets. In 20% of all cases, the recursive encapsulation effect is observed: an activated Object turns out to contain another Object of any type along with other cargo.
Objects come in three different varieties, which we call Shards, Fragments, and Cores. You can earn seven Object Shards in Last Stand and three Object Shards in Random Battles.
Obtain Unique Customizations
Completing certain Stages of the event Progression will get you unique 3D attachments from a set of five plus the "Scars of the Anomaly" 2D style—to forever remind you of your victories over invading echo tanks!
Make the Most of Happy Hours
On the event weekends, Random Battles will feature evening Happy Hours of ×2 to XP and credits earned after the first victory of the day. Have fun and earn more!
