Clans, Battle Pass and Two New Maps
STRATA and OUTPOST join the rotation, clans and the Battle Pass arrive, ranks you never lose, case collections, new weapon effects, mines, spawn protection and a long list of fixes.
Two new maps
STRATA and OUTPOST are now in the Battle Hub, next to COLONY, REACTOR and DUST. Both come with bot routes, day and night versions and their own place in the battle list.
When you create your own battle you can also turn it into an arena: Parkour for climbing and racing without damage, and Space, where gravity is low and every jump goes a long way.
Clans
Clans are here. Every clan has its own profile page with a picture, a country and its founder, and members sit in four grades, so the people who run a clan can share the work.
Create one, invite your friends, and fight under the same tag.
Battle Pass
Every season lasts eight weeks and comes with a free track and a premium track. You progress by playing: battles, wins and daily missions all move you forward, and your progress is saved on our side, so it follows you on every device.
Ranks you never lose
Your rank is now set by the total XP you have ever earned. Nothing is taken away, so a bad evening can never cost you a rank. Reaching a new rank plays a celebration in the battle, and the leaderboard ranks everyone by total XP.
Collections
Cases now belong to collections. New collections arrive with special events and new seasons, each with its own set of paints and its own case. The first collections are available now, and opening a case has a brand new reveal.
Everything you get can be traded on the Marketplace, where you can inspect any item in 3D before you buy, or combined in the Forge into something new.
Weapons and boosters
Several turrets got a new look and feel. Inferno is now a real flamethrower: a cone of fire that sets targets alight. Storm fires a fast ball of plasma. Rocketron launches its salvo as a swarm of homing rockets that weave towards the target. Genesis has a new charge before it fires.
Mines are a new booster: drop one behind you and enemies only see it when they are already close.
Spawn protection
After every spawn your tank is protected for a short time, so you are no longer destroyed the moment you appear. A protected tank cannot pick up a flag, so protection cannot be used to steal one either.
Flag bugs fixed
Capture the Flag has been cleaned up. A flag can no longer be carried home through a self-destruct or a respawn, and every capture is now checked on the server. If you carry a flag, you earned it.
Driving, bots and sound
The suspension was reworked again: tanks land, climb and settle more naturally, without the rocking that some of you reported. Bots got smarter, and the battle sound was rebuilt so that every engine, shot and explosion sits where it happens.
A new interface
The lobby, garage and pages were rebuilt. They now fill your window at any size, short guides show new players around, friends can invite you straight into their battle, and if you are disconnected or removed from a battle you are told why.
Getting the update
The desktop launcher updates itself. If you play in the browser and still see the old version, reload the page with Ctrl+F5.
