Offer: Puma, Altay, Battle Coins
Commanders!
Today we’ve prepared the following items for you:
Puma Tier 10 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle
Altay Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank
Leclerc T40 Tier 9 Premium Tank Destroyer
Leopard 2 Revolution Tier 8 Premium Main Battle Tank
Marder 2 Tier 8 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle
AMX 10 RCR Tier 8 Premium Tank Destroyer
Shadow Protocol Battle Coins
Between April 17, 2025 and April 24, 2025, the following items will be available:
Puma
The Puma is the principal IFV of the Bundeswehr and one of the most modern vehicles in its category in the world. While expensive, it features nearly unparalleled situational awareness and protection. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.
In Armored Warfare, the Puma is a Tier 10 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle. The Puma doesn’t feature any special or situational features. It’s simply one of the best performing infantry carriers out there, laying down fire with its 30mm autocannon and guided missiles.
The Puma Tier 10 Premium AFV is available in our Web Shop via Loot Crates. Collect 100 blueprint pieces from these crates to obtain the vehicle.
Altay
The Altay is the result of a Turkish program to build a true indigenous MBT. After a decade of development with hundreds of millions of dollars spent, Turkey finally achieved its goal and built a tank that is roughly on par in performance with decades-old Leopard 2 variants while it still uses many foreign components, including some of its most critical systems. Nevertheless, future Altay variants are expected to feature some cutting edge components.
In Armored Warfare, the Altay is a Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank based on the current prototypes, but also upgraded by various hypothetical aftermarket components of the future to surpass its current capabilities and to match its assigned Tier in power. The basic tank is – gameplay-wise – a mobile sniper, much like the Leopard 2 series, relying on its mobility and the penetration of its shells rather than on its armor. There are two key features to this tank: Adjustable Suspension (tilting forward and to the side) and Hybrid Engine with its distinctive electric sound, giving the vehicle excellent mobility and agility.
The Altay Tier 10 Premium MBT is available in our Web Shop via Loot Crates. Collect 100 blueprint pieces from these crates to obtain the vehicle
Leopard 2 Revolution
The Leopard 2 Revolution is a continuation of the older Evolution upgrade, intended to improve the performance of the older variants of the Leopard 2 Main Battle Tank in order to make it excel even on the battlefields of the 21st century. The improvements include a comprehensive armor upgrade, ROSY soft-kill APS and smoke grenade launchers as well as an entire suite of cutting edge electronics. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.
In Armored Warfare, the Leopard 2 Revolution is a Tier 8 Main Battle Tank. It is not only well-armored, it also features an extremely accurate 120mm gun with advanced ammunition, allowing it to destroy its opponents at very long ranges, rivaling those of Tank Destroyers. The German tanks in general perform best at longer ranges and the Revolution is no exception.
This bundle is available in our Web Shop.
Leclerc T40
Sometimes called the French Terminator, this vehicle was designed on the Leclerc MBT chassis with one purpose in mind – to accompany tanks and fight off infantry attacks the same way as the Russian BMPT series does. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.
In Armored Warfare, the Leclerc T40 is a Tier 9 Premium Tank Destroyer. It offers you a combination of a durable hull, rapid-fire 40mm automatic cannon and, most importantly, the Javelin missile system. Simply right-click the target, wait until it becomes locket and fire the Javelin ATGM – it will home itself on the target, attacking its weak roof armor. Thanks to this ability, the Leclerc T40 is one of the most destructive vehicles in the game.
This bundle is available in our Web Shop.
Marder 2
The Marder 2 was an experimental German IFV, developed in the late 1980s to replace the aging Marder IFV. It featured more armor, a new turret and a brand-new Rheinmetall dual-caliber autocannon that could fire both 35mm and 50mm rounds. Despite its qualities, the vehicle was never accepted in service due to its high cost and because it was no longer needed because of the fall of the Soviet Union. A single surviving prototype can be found today in the Koblenz military collection. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.
In Armored Warfare, the Marder 2 is a Tier 8 Armored Fighting Vehicle. With its 44 tons, it’s one of the heaviest and toughest AFVs around. Unlike many other AFVs of its Tier, it is not armed with guided missiles, relying instead on its extremely powerful 50mm autocannon. This vehicle can also deploy Mechanized Infantry.
This bundle is available in our Web Shop.
AMX-10 RCR
The AMX 10 RCR is the updated variant of the French AMX 10 RC fire support vehicle by GIAT, originally developed in the early 1980s. This light and nimble wheeled 6x6 AFV was armed with a 105mm gun, allowing it to knock out even armored targets at considerable distances. Over 200 of these aging vehicles were upgraded by Nexter in 2010 with improved armor and electronics, enabling them to fulfill modern battlefield tasks until their eventual replacement by the Jaguar. You can learn more about its history in our dedicated article!
In Armored Warfare, the AMX 10 RCR is a Tier 8 wheeled Premium Tank Destroyer. It’s incredibly agile with its wheeled chassis allowing it to outrun pretty much any enemy on the battlefield save for the fastest AFVs. Its gun accuracy is also top notch, making this vehicle perfect for sniper-style gameplay as its thin armor can’t protect it against enemy shells at close distances. This vehicle also comes with the Hydraulic Suspension active ability.
Between April 15, 2025 and April 22, 2025, the following items will be available:
EMBT
The Enhanced Main Battle Tank (EMBT) is a future MBT demonstrator developed over the course of several years as cooperation between the Germany (KMW) and the French (Nexter). It features a heavily modified Leopard 2 hull with a brand-new turret unveiled in 2022 during the Eurosatory 2022 expo in Paris. Our version of the tank is armed with 140mm ASCALON gun. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.
In Armored Warfare, the EMBT is a Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank. Extreme accuracy and firepower are its domain as it features an incredibly powerful 140mm gun and a special ability called Machine Learning that increases the kinetic round penetration with each shot (up to three times). In its medium range support vehicle role, this tank has few equals thanks to the abovementioned ability and the availability of top-attack HEAT rounds.
The EMBT Tier 10 Premium MBT is available in our Web Shop via Loot Crates. Collect 100 blueprint pieces from these crates to obtain the vehicle.
KF41 Lynx Prototype
This is a 2018 prototype of the KF41 Lynx, a cutting edge IFV developed by Rheinmetall for export. Featuring advanced modular armor and multiple gun configurations, the vehicle has already been adopted by Hungary with more contracts pending. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.
In Armored Warfare, the KF41 Lynx Prototype is a Tier 10 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle. It is a durable and powerful IFV featuring two weapon configurations (30mm and 35mm) as well as a new infantry type that fires large thermobaric warheads from its anti-tank launchers.
The KF41 Tier 10 Premium AFV is available in our Web Shop via Loot Crates. Collect 100 blueprint pieces from these crates to obtain the vehicle.
Lynx Skyranger
This is a version of the cutting edge Lynx platform but instead of the standard IFV configuration, it utilizes the Skyranger HEL turret to create a short-range anti-aircraft vehicle that can also eliminate drone swarms with ease. This configuration was proposed for the recent Hungarian military upgrade program but never built in real life. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.
In Armored Warfare, the Lynx Skyranger is a Tier 10 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle. It’s best used as a scout killer but it is capable of other roles as well. It features three rather unusual abilities, such as the programmable HE ammunition that explodes above targets, the Starstreak missiles that deal more damages over larger distances and ignore APS, and the High Energy Laser active ability. When activated, the laser blinds enemy targets, significantly reducing their spotting range. You can learn more about these abilities from our developer diary.
The Skyranger Tier 10 Premium AFV is available in our Web Shop via Loot Crates. Collect 100 blueprint pieces from these crates to obtain the vehicle.
We hope that you will enjoy this offer and, as usual:

Offer: Panther, Ajax, Boxer RIWP
Commanders!
Today we’ve prepared the following items for you:
KF51 Panther Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank (only available until April 15)
Pindad SBS Tier 8 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle
BWP-2000 Tier 7 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle
Pile of Gold Loot Crate
Between April 10, 2025 and April 17, 2025, the following items will be available:
KF51 Panther
The KF51 Panther Main Battle Tank first appeared in 2022 as a demonstrator of Rheinmetall’s capabilities, mating a modified Leopard 2 hull with a brand-new turret armed not only with cutting edge weaponry, but also a missile launcher. The Panther is one of western next-gen MBT projects, much like the EMBT and the next-generation Abrams. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.
In Armored Warfare, the KF51 is a Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank. The KF51 Panther is at its core a medium-range vehicle with reliable armor and solid firepower that, in addition to its 130mm gun and NERA armor, boasts a powerful missile launcher. This combination makes it one of the most powerful MBTs you can encounter in the game.
The KF51 Panther Tier 10 Premium MBT is available in our Web Shop via Loot Crates. Collect 100 blueprint pieces from these crates to obtain the vehicle.
Boxer RIWP
The Boxer RIWP is a combination of a Tracked Boxer hull and a modular turret called RIWP. Both components are fairly new and haven’t been officially combined as of now but the Boxer platform can theoretically support this weapon system. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.
In Armored Warfare, the Boxer RIWP is a Tier 10 Premium AFV that’s unique for one reason – it offers five fairly distinctive weapon configurations along with a reliable autocannon capable of quickly dealing with lighter targets. It can also deploy Mechanized Infantry.
The Boxer RIWP Tier 10 Premium AFV is available in our Web Shop via Loot Crates. Collect 100 blueprint pieces from these crates to obtain the vehicle.
Ajax
The Ajax is the most modern British Infantry Fighting Vehicle currently in service. Despite being plagued by developmental problems, the program to replace the aging Warrior IFV produced one of the best vehicles in its class. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.
In Armored Warfare, the Ajax is a Tier 10 Premium AFV featuring solid protection levels and excellent sustained firepower. Furthermore, it can deploy Mechanized Infantry like other AFVs of its class and has a special ability that allows it to better detect enemies at closer ranges.
The Ajax Tier 10 Premium AFV is available in our Web Shop via Loot Crates. Collect 100 blueprint pieces from these crates to obtain the vehicle.
Boxer CRV
The Boxer CRV is the Infantry Fighting Vehicle variant of the Boxer platform, featuring a cutting edge turret with 30mm autocannon and guided missiles. It is a truly next-gen IFV with orders coming from all over the world, most notably from Australia and Germany. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.
In Armored Warfare, the Boxer CRV is a Tier 9 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle. It is one of the best IFVs in its class, offering a combination of solid mobility and great firepower, including Mechanized Infantry deployment and the dreaded double-launch ATGM feature.
This bundle is available in our Web Shop.
Hunter AFV
Another alternative name for this vehicle is NGAFV (or Next Gen AFV), since it belongs to a whole program to replace the obsolete M113 APC in Singaporean service and to operate alongside its predecessor, another indigenous Singaporean IFV called Bionix. Hunter is the name of the production model of this program. The Hunter AFV is the pinnacle of bleeding edge of technology. In this sense, it can be compared to the AS21 Redback and both vehicles share several characteristics, not the least of which being relatively large size. This bulky IFV offers considerable levels of protection and firepower. It is expected to serve in the Singaporean army in large numbers in the near future with its mass-production having recently begun. You can read more about its history in our dedicated article.
In Armored Warfare, the Hunter AFV is a Tier 9 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle. As its description above suggests, it is a rather standard-sized IFV with good levels of protection and excellent firepower (consisting of a 30mm autocannon and a Spike ATGM launcher). It also features a recently introduced type of armor, NERA. Simply put, NERA is an ablative armor kit that deteriorates whenever it gets hit. In other words, the vehicle starts with excellent protection levels but it will lose some with damage taken as the battle progresses. Apart from that, the vehicle is adequately mobile and quite universal. It can, of course, also deploy Mechanized Infantry.
This bundle is available in our Web Shop.
Pindad SBS
The SBS platform is one of the first domestic armored vehicles developed by Pindad (the largest Indonesian armor producer) for Indonesia and is officially listed as a “light tank”. It was developed sometimes in the early 2010s with some prototypes in different configuration appearing in public in 2014 or so. The variant in the game is a long-range MLRS fire support vehicle with a 122mm multi-barreled rocket launcher. You can learn more about it in our dedicated article.
In Armored Warfare, the Pindad SBS is a Tier 8 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle. This AFV is fairly unique, since its main weapon is a multi-barreled rocket launcher capable of firing over obstacles. This makes the Pindad incredibly powerful in both offense and defense. Static enemy targets stand no chance! This vehicle is best used with Commander Ophelia Kitescu and in a platoon – the firepower of such a formation is truly without equal.
This bundle is available in our Web Shop.
BWP-2000
The BWP-2000 IFV was a Polish attempt from the mid-1990s to develop a replacement for the license-produced BMP-1 in the Polish military, since it was getting obsolete by that point. Its protracted development led to its cancellation at the onset of War on Terror, leaving Poland without a modern tracked IFV to this day. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.
In Armored Warfare, the BWP-2000 is a Tier 7 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle armed with 60mm cannon as well as a set of ATGM launchers. When it comes to AFV playstyle, the BWP-2000 is definitely more of an infantry carrier and fire support vehicle than a scout due to its large size and powerful armament as well as the ability to deploy Mechanized Infantry. It can take quite a bit of punishment and deal it in equal measure.
This bundle is available in our Web Shop.

Offer: Main Battle Tanks
Commanders!
Today we’ve prepared the following items for you:
Type 99B Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank
Object 490 Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank
Challenger 2 Streetfighter II Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank
Elite Commanders
Between April 8 and April 10, 2025, the following items will be available:
Type 99B
The Type 99B is a fictional improved version of the currently most modern Chinese Main Battle Tank. It was designed as a concept by the Chinese tank community some years ago and we used the concept as a basis for its introduction. However, our version bears significant differences, most notably the Red Arrow missile launcher on the roof. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.
In Armored Warfare, the ZTZ-20 is a Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank. On its own, it’s a beast of a machine and one of the most powerful vehicles in the game, featuring both a powerful gun and thick armor. It does have a special feature though – its missiles can cover a wide area with burning White Phosphorus that reduces enemy vehicle camouflage and deals damage to anyone entering the zone.
In Armored Warfare, the Type 99B is a Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank. It is fast, agile, and capable of dealing tremendous damage over a short period of time thanks to its turret-mounted thermobaric missile launcher.
The Type 99B MBT is available in our Web Shop via Loot Crates. Collect 100 blueprint pieces from these crates to obtain the vehicle.
Object 490
The Object 490 Main Battle Tank was an advanced concept from the waning days of the Soviet Union. Designed in the 1980s, it represented a radical departure from the MBT paradigm. Its distinct wedge-like shape, along with the fact that the crew was located in the back, offered unparalleled levels of protection. But the most interesting part of the design was its double suspension paired with two engines, allowing the vehicle to stay mobile even after suffering significant damage. However, the conclusion of the Cold War put an end to this design, along with many other advanced Soviet projects. You can learn more about this vehicle in our dedicated article.
In Armored Warfare, the Object 490 Tier 10 Premium MBT is perhaps the best armored vehicle in the game. It’s a true behemoth that is almost impossible to slow down, let alone knock out, and concentrated effort is required to stop one of these things when encountering them on the battlefield. The combination of extremely thick armor and a powerful 152mm gun makes this tank incredibly deadly, even though these advantages are balanced by its mediocre agility and the fact that its gun is only forward facing. This MBT is ideal for you if you prefer slow, methodical advances while dealing massive amounts of damage with each shot. If you keep your flanks secure, you’ll be all but impossible to stop.
The Object 490 MBT is available in our Web Shop via Loot Crates. Collect 100 blueprint pieces from these crates to obtain the vehicle.
Challenger 2 Streetfighter II
The Streetfighter II is an upgrade program to overhaul the venerable Challenger 2 Main Battle Tank for the conditions of modern battlefields, especially urban combat. It features a number of improvements and extra components, most notably a dozer blade, a Brimstone ATGM twin launcher and an advanced camera system by Elbit. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.
In Armored Warfare, the Challenger 2 Streetfighter is a Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank. Its main advantages include excellent frontal armor (enhanced by the presence of its dozer blade covering its lower frontal plate), increased ramming damage and long range lethality, courtesy of a powerful ATGM launcher. Whether you desire to bring the fighting up close or support other MBTs at distance, the Streetfighter’s got your back.
The Challenger 2 Streetfighter II Tier 10 Premium MBT is available in our Web Shop via Loot Crates. Collect 100 blueprint pieces from these crates to obtain the vehicle.
