Armored Warfare Lore Guide
Orienting yourselves in Armored Warfare lore can be a bit disorienting as the lore is spread across many missions and events, some of them not being currently available. To make things more convenient, we have assembled a guide for you.
Armored Warfare works with the concept of alternative realities. The lore can be separated into three distinct story blocks, each taking place in a separate timeline. The timelines are tied together by an overarching narrative disclosed in Part 2: Perihelion. Without further ado, let’s get to it!
Part 1: World Gone By
- This part of the story of Armored Warfare can be experienced through the weekend Special Operations.
In the mid-21st century, global corporations have replaced governments, controlling vast military forces through private security groups. Among them, Clayburn Industries is one of the most powerful and is at the beginning of the story led by the ruthless Sebastian Grimm.
Magnus Holter, once a trusted Clayburn Industries security commander, becomes the catalyst for a rebellion against corporate tyranny. The conflict begins in the Caribbean Crisis Special Operation, where mercenary forces hired by Clayburn Industries (you) intercept Holter’s faction stealing chemical weapons from a Clayburn facility. Pursuing him across the Panama Canal and Jamaica, they uncover a deeper conspiracy, leading to their betrayal by Clayburn Industries, after which Holter enlists their help.
The Black Sea Incursion Special Operation offers a flashback to Holter’s past, exposing CI’s brutal suppression of rival mercenary factions and its deep corruption. Holter is betrayed by Grimm and left to take the fall for an illegal corporate war. Narrowly escaping, he begins assembling allies to take down CI.
In Arabian Nights, Holter’s growing rebellion strikes at CI’s chemical weapons depots, uncovering damning evidence. Capturing Douglas O’Reilly, the leader of the Evocati mercenaries, they force him to testify against Grimm. Grimm is arrested after a climactic battle, and Clayburn Industries is effectively dismantled.
Moscow Calling sees an international organization called ISD attempting to restore order at a global summit, but an unknown force, (later referred to as Enigma), launches a devastating attack, decapitating the organization there and then. The ISD is shattered and Holter is captured. Enigma forces, with seemingly unlimited funding and advanced technology far beyond anything seen before, effectively take over the world, toppling governments and bankrupting corporations.
In American Dream, resistance fighters in the former U.S., led by Ryan Miller, battle extremist factions supported by Enigma. They uncover Enigma’s advanced military technology of unknown origin and its plans for global domination. Miller sacrifices himself to relay vital information to Hana Buric, a surviving resistance office.
Spirithaven shifts the war to Japan, where the resistance captures James Todd Litteral, a key Enigma operative. Holter, now a symbol of the resistance, leads an assault on Enigma’s hidden stronghold, culminating in a massive battle inside a volcano. He kills Enigma’s leader, Victor Blaze, but is mortally wounded. Furthermore, the destruction of Enigma’s fortress triggers a global catastrophe, sending the world into chaos.
In Apocalypse, three years after the collapse of the civilization, survivors form bands vying for scarce resources. New factions emerge, including characters like Ivo Rinaldi and Igor Kopylov, who scavenge the entire world for survival while clashing with local warlords. Around this time, Gail Espinoza is torn from this world by Murdoch (see Part 2: Perihelion), triggering its destruction after the final mission of the Apocalypse chain.
What seemed like an airship floated over a volcano, but it was unlike any airship I've seen before. Four giant impellers appeared to have kept it afloat but they seemed too small compared to the sheer bulk of the giant thing, its enormous steel body over three hundred feet long.
By our laws of physics, the craft had no right to stay in the air yet there it was, slowly moving away from the raging elemental inferno below it. There was clearly a crew on board – the laptop's speakers played a radio traffic recording from the strange craft, loud and clear, as if captured straight from the source.
No, not radio traffic – those were the unfiltered voices of the crew.
Something was happening.
The world on the screen... simply stopped, as if someone hit a pause button. The recording continued. The bodiless voices were clearly aware of what was going on judging from their surprised and gradually panicking voices. The shock soon grew into terror as both outside and inside of the ship, things started to just... I couldn't find the right word. Disappear would be the obvious first choice, except it wasn't that. For something to disappear it has to exist first but somehow, the events depicted on the screen implied the things gone weren't just gone. It was like they never existed in the first place. In their stead, an indescribable void – a non-color defying any attempts at description.
By that point, the voices were screaming, the minds behind them scorched by the sheer magnitude of the event unfolding before their eyes. Above, the clouds disappeared and the stars were going out, cluster by cluster. The event was clearly accelerating – the mountains, the trees, even the volcano faded away and so did many of the voices and parts of the ship. In the end, there was only one male voice left, a continuous tortured howl of a man condemned to the worst possible fate of the last witness of an entire world dying around him. And then... nothing, just darkness swallowing the scene.
Part 2: Perihelion
- This part of the story of Armored Warfare could be experienced through the Eclipse and Exile Battle Paths and the current Wages of Sin PvE mission.
The year is 2028 and the world order is slowly unraveling. The United States of America, once an undisputed leader of the free world, is wracked by internal strife after more than a century of prosperity.
The story is told from the perspective of Samuel Thorpe, a mercenary down on his luck presented with an offer he can’t possibly refuse. The initial task is to train a branch of a Chicago-based company by the name of Perihelion, its purpose as enigmatic as its founder, an investor by the name of David Murdoch.
In June 2028, Samuel Thorpe joins Perihelion’s forces in Arizona where he meets Gail Espinoza, a reliable soldier in Perihelion service. Soon after a nearby U.S. Army base is attacked in the night by unknown enemies and they go investigate along with the rest of the Perihelion mercs.
The attack is repelled but the origin is mysterious and they encounter several supernatural events, including a mysterious voice calling them by names and hijacking comms.
The attackers were after a cache of equipment protected by the U.S. Army on Murdoch’s behalf. Some of the equipment gets recovered by Thorpe. One of the pieces of tech is a data storage containing data about alternative universes, including the one Gail Espinoza comes from (this is revealed later in the story). Removing someone from their own reality causes the reality to deflate, gradually disappearing into nothingness.
Thorpe learns that Murdoch is aware of all this and is actively researching the events. Someone else is, however, also aware and there is the matter of the strange voice, so Thorpe and Espinoza travel to Europe and Africa to investigate, encountering multiple supernatural elements and strange occurrences. The first half of the story culminates in Africa where a chain of clues leads them. Espinoza is captured by an entity called The Traveller, who is after Murdoch, but Thorpe manages to set her free.
The second part of the story, Thorpe and Espinoza learn that they were “unique” in the sense that they do not exist in any other realities (and he used them to get rid of the Traveller as nobody else could do that). They discover that Murdoch is ancient and he assumed many identities over the thousands of years, including that of Marduk (an ancient god-like being). He is referred to by the Traveller as the “Exile” because he was exiled from his own reality for crimes he had committed. He seeks to return, thus dooming the reality Thorpe is from.
When Murdoch finds out Thorp andEspinoza know, he attempts to have them eliminated. They travel across the world to uncover his secrets and past and finally learn of a reality breach in South America that Murdoch is trying to use to open a gateway to other realities and has already triggered the collapse of this world. They travel to the breach but they are almost killed by Murdoch’s forces before finally confronting Murdoch himself.
By a stroke of luck they managed to destroy Murdoch’s vehicle, seemingly killing him and get to a place between worlds (“the Desolation”), from where they escape the reality to a different one resembling a peaceful version of the early 2000s. Their story ends there... or does it?
Part 3: Seahawks
- This part of the story of Armored Warfare can be experienced through the Seahawks Battle Path and the current Rate of Decay, Lone Star Special Operations, and regular PvE missions.
The world of 2042 is a broken one with corporations usurping much of the world’s resources and former superpowers like the United States of America are but a shadow of their former glory. This is a result of decades of deterioration, greed and unbridled exploitation of the most powerful consortiums, some of which are wealthier than entire continents combined. These corporations control private mercenary armies, equipped with all kinds of weaponry short of nuclear. Entire divisions of armored vehicles are at their disposal, ready to do their master’s bidding – not out of patriotism or loyalty, but for Credits – the universal currency of the new world.
In the late 2030s, a series of conflicts that would eventually become known as the Corporate Wars devastated large portions of Europe and the United States. Several major corporations including the British Clayburn Industries and the German Lodestar GmbH engaged in conflicts that left massive territories in corporate hands. Mercenaries, private security forces and rebel militias fought each other all over central Europe and the Balkans. The years of strife culminated in the 2039 Seahawk Rebellion when an entire battalion-sized unit of Clayburn Industries rose up against orders to commit genocide.
Unbeknownst to them, the uprising was in fact a clever ruse prepared by the mastermind behind the Clayburn Industries Corporation, Andrew Clayburn, to gain more influence across the world. Employing the services of a Corporate Wars veteran Sebastian Grimm known for his campaign against Clayburn’s rival, Lodestar GmbH, Clayburn’s plan worked almost flawlessly, resulting in thousands of dead enemies and a massive territory and wealth influx for the company, including a portion of the former American south. The handful of surviving Seahawks retreated to Istanbul, reduced to a life in shadows. There, they from the Black Company.
This lore is split into three separate segments:
- Battle Path “Seahawks” covers the complete beginning up to the point where Andrew Clayburn wins and eliminates the Seahawks
- Special Operations Rate of Decay and Lone Star cover the direct aftermath if this event and the era between the escape of the remaining Seahawks and their arrival in Istanbul
- PvE missions covering the era after their arrival in Istanbul and becoming mercenaries
That’s it, commanders. The lore is of course ongoing and you can expect more to come in the hopefully not so distant future.
See you on the battlefield!

Between March 20 and March 27, 2025, the following items will be available:
T-90M Proryv
The T-90M Proryv the most advanced Russian Main Battle Tank currently in service and the ultimate step in a long journey that began with the T-72. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.
In Armored Warfare, the T-90M Proryv is a Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank. With its solid firepower, excellent armor and decent mobility, this vehicle is suitable for all players, including fairly new ones. No matter what tactic you choose, the T-90M will not let you down as it is one of the most versatile MBTs in the entire game.
The T-90M is available in our Web Shop via Loot Crates. Collect 100 blueprint pieces from these crates to obtain the vehicle.
BMP-2M Berezhok
The BMP-2M Berezhok is one of the latest modifications of the now obsolete Soviet BMP-2. It received a new turret and a limited numbers of these infantry fighting vehicles are already in service. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.
In Armored Warfare, the BMP-2M is a Tier 9 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle. While not exactly well-armored, it is fitted with multiple weapon systems, including a powerful 30mm autocannon and deadly Kornet missiles. It is truly one of the most hard-punching AFVs in the game and is suitable for aggressive, skilled players.
This bundle is available in our Web Shop.
BTR-82A
The BTR-82A is the standard wheeled armored fighting vehicle of the Russian army. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.
In Armored Warfare, the BTR-82A is a Tier 8 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle. Despite its light armor, the BTR-82A can – especially in its upgraded form with missile launchers – hit the enemy where it hurts. Fast, maneuverable and rugged, in skilled hands the BTR-82A turns into one of the deadliest machines of its Tier.
This bundle is available in our Web Shop.
Kurganets-25
The Kurganets-25 Infantry Fighting Vehicle is intended as a cutting edge future replacement to the old BMP series in Russian service. While not as chunky and expensive as the T-15 Armata super-heavy IFV, it’s designed to finally offer the 21st century protection levels the Russian military has been demanding for a long time. However, the design turned out to be quite expensive and while it is currently undergoing state trials, it is unlikely to be ever mass-produced. You can learn more about it in our dedicated article.
In Armored Warfare, the Kurganets-25 is a Tier 9 Premium Tank Destroyer. Even though it offers decent protection and mobility for its class, this vehicle is all about firepower. To make sure you always have the right tool for the job, it comes with three distinctive weapon systems – a 57mm autocannon for light targets, fast and small Bulat missiles for highly mobile targets and, finally, full-sized ATGMs that can defeat pretty much anything on the battlefield. If dealing damage is your thing, few vehicles will match your playstyle better.
This bundle is available in our Web Shop.
Khrizantema-S
The Khrizantema-S is a dedicated tank hunter, built on a modified BMP-3 hull. The first Khrizantema-S prototype appeared in public as early as 1996 with the initial production variant (9P157) entering service in 2005. Around 2010, an upgraded variant called 9P157-2 appeared with a modernized Ukrainian optics system and a hull machinegun the original model lacked. This variant was in use until 2017. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.
In Armored Warfare, the Khizantema-S is a Tier 8 Premium Tank Destroyer. It is quite a stealthy vehicle armed with a twin ATGM launcher. The key to achieving excellent results with this machine is long-range ATGM sniping followed by rapid relocation. The missiles are quite powerful and make hits easy thanks to their excellent performance.
This bundle is available in our Web Shop.
Gadyuka
The Gadyuka (“Viper”) is a Soviet-era fire support vehicle consisting of a T-72A hull and turret but instead of the main gun, the vehicle is armed with two 30mm autocannons and two rocket pods in order to perform better against infantry in urban and mountainous environments. A single prototype was built in 1996 and even though the project was cancelled, it eventually led to the rise of the BMPT Terminator series. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.
In Armored Warfare, the Gadyuka is a Tier 6 Premium Tank Destroyer. Despite having only average protection, its two 30mm autocannons can, along with deadly rocket salvos, rip through enemy vehicles with ease. Indeed, the Gadyuka is one of the most destructive vehicles of its Tier and a worthy addition to every player’s arsenal.
This bundle is available in our Web Shop.
Treasure Trove
Today, we have a special offer for you. A veritable treasure trove of 10.000 Gold awaits you at a discounted price.
Please note that this item can only be purchased once per user. You can find out more about Gold and its uses in our dedicated article.

Developer Diary: Shadow Protocol Changes
It’s been some time since the announcement of the Shadow Protocol Battle Path, currently bound to appear in early April. We also discussed the upcoming vehicles and prizes but the thing is, we made some adjustments since the initial announcement. Let’s take a look at them.
First, the KNIFV NLOS LPS. Based on our testing, this vehicle required only minor changes compared to the first version. One thing we did, however, is adjust the missile lock time (reduced for single launches from 3.5s to 3s between missiles) and trajectory to become more practical. The vehicle also had a long spotting range, which we reduced to 390m. Overall, despite its somewhat wacky look, the vehicle is highly viable.
Secondly there’s the Borsuk. The biggest question about this vehicle was its ability’s rate of repair. The current setting is 30 hitpoints per second.
We have also rebalanced the vehicle’s frontal protection (it’ll be better protected from kinetic rounds and less from HEAT rounds and ATGMs), improved the missile reload time and increased the rate of fire.
And, finally, there’s the T-64BV Mod.2022. The big thing here is the frontal armor buff, which the T-64BV Mod.2017 is also getting. The upper frontal plate armor is becoming more durable for both vehicles.
Other than that there were minor issues – we buffed the Kombat gun-launched guided missile on the T-64BV and the Oplot (increased penetration by 25mm, higher non-penetration damage) and reduced the hitpoints from 2800 to 2600 (the same amount the T-64BV Mod.2017 has as they are essentially identical vehicles).

Shadow Protocol Battle Path: Prize Highlights
The Shadow Protocol Battle Path is coming in early April and we’d like to take a moment to tell you more about its prizes.
The topic of the Shadow Protocol Battle Path is mercenaries – their history, recent and not-so-recent conflicts in which they participated and, of course, the future. But before we take a look at each of these segments, let’s take a look at the main prizes of this Battle Path.
The main prizes are, of course, the vehicles. There are three:
- T-64BV Mod.2022 Tier 8 Premium MBT for reaching Level 20 (representing the “past” aspect)
- Borsuk Tier 10 Premium AFV for reaching Level 35 (representing the “contemporary” aspect)
- KNIFV NLOS LPS Tier 10 Premium TD for reaching Level 50 (representing the “future” aspect)
You can see them on the images below:
This Battle Path is also bringing a new special ability available on the Borsuk called Repair Zone that is slowly healing nearby teammates as well as you.
You’ll also have the opportunity to earn other amazing prizes, including exclusive skins that will not be available by any other means:
- Golden Snake skin for VN20 for completing the first mission chain
- Snake skin for Cheonma-2 for completing the second mission chain
- Golden Lion skin for Puma for completing the third mission chain
- Future Tech skin for EMBT for completing the fourth and final mission chain
- Three Tank Biathlon skins for Type 96B for reaching Level 36
Take a look:
But that’s not all. You can earn more Premium vehicles during the Battle Path:
- M1A1 AIM Tier 8 Premium MBT for reaching Level 45 (it’ll come in handy, we have a new skin for it)
- Up to 30 Premium vehicles via the brand-new Mercenary Loot Crates (that also contain Premium commanders, but no trash prizes – just Gold)
And that’s STILL not all. There are many other prizes awaiting you as you progress through the Battle Path. Let’s take a look at some of them.
Levels 1 to 20 are dedicated to the past. After the Second World War, mercenaries have popped up across the world. Men who grew up during the largest conflict in human history were not ready to put down their arms just yet and sought freedom and adventure.
They saw the world change. The colonial wars in Africa gave way to various regional conflicts in the Middle East and the former Soviet Union. We’ll have a number of relevant camouflages, decals and flags for you, each coming with a description tying it to the topic of the Battle Path.
We have three new skins for you in this Battle Path and the one representing the past comes from the Libyan Crisis that saw a wide use of mercenaries. In 2014, the movie Fury came out, inspiring the fighters to name their old T-72 Ural that way. The “Fury” skin does represent this vehicle. And since the Ural isn’t performing so well right now, we’ll buff it a bit. Or maybe not just a bit.
Levels 21 to 35 are dedicated to the present – or the not so distant past. The Russo-Georgian war involved mercenaries, as did the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan, which culminated in 2023 by the collapse of Artsakh. We’ll touch upon the Syrian Civil War and, of course, the ongoing mercenary involvement in central Africa.
The skin representing the present is called “Winged Hussar” and is loosely based on a KTO Rosomak recently shown in Poland and featuring a painting of the famous winged hussars that saved Vienna from Turkish onslaught. Not to worry, we are aware the Rosomak is underperforming right now and we’ll buff it as well.
And, finally, levels 36 to 50 are dedicated to the future. The eyes of the world slowly turn to the east where the dragon is awakening from its centuries-old slumber – and it is hungry. This part of the Battle Path covers the Pacific with its camouflages and decals.
The final new skin is the “Australian M1A1 AIM” one, changing your M1A1 AIM’s appearance, as the name suggests, to the one used by the Australian army – specifically to a tank called Azrael.
These are just examples and there will be many more prizes in this Battle Path. We hope that you’ll enjoy this event that is coming soon and, as always:
See you on the battlefield!
