Starting today, every Tanki X player will receive a daily reward for their work as recruits for the Tanki X program, during their first 15 days in the program. For the older accounts, the reward will be granted when they first land in the main menu after launching the game. Newer accounts will be rewarded only after their first full battle of the day.
This chain will only occur once. If you miss one day, the chain will NOT reset.
Here's the list of the rewards:
Day 1 - 49 X-crystals
Day 2 - 500 Crystals
Day 3 - 750 Crystals
Day 4 - 99 X-crystals
Day 5 - 850 Crystals
Day 6 - Hacker's blueprints container
Day 7 - 1500 Crystals
Day 8 - 1800 Crystals + the "Champion" paint
Day 9 - 5 days of premium
Day 10 - 150 X-crystals + the "Coal" coating
Day 11 - 3500 Crystals
Day 12 - Smuggler's blueprints containers
Day 13 - The "Steel" container
Day 14 - 7 days of premium
Day 15 - The "XT" container
Here are a couple of other changes:
Players can now assign the Tab key to control a different action or functionality.
We changed the "Violence" series of kills, replaced it with "Predator". It is the same thing, we just had to change the name.
We are still working on fixing the freezing end-screen bug, as apparently it wasn't entirely fixed last time. There are cases in which players can see the screen at the end of the battle, with their league placing 0 (zero), however, they should still get the rewards. Please let us know in the comments below if you encountered this issue during the last couple of days.
IMPORTANT! Please provide your nickname and the time at which it happened (at least approximately), otherwise, we will not be able to help.

TX News: Episode #1
https://youtu.be/3wd6P4ExIGE
Greetings, tankers!
Welcome to the first episode of our Tanki X News.
In this episode, we will be telling you about the milestones that we have reached since the official release, the changes that will take effect in the upcoming ranked season, and be announcing the upcoming celebrations and updates.
Post-release news
On the 13th of March, Tanki X was officially released. More than a month has passed and today we want to quickly go through some of the most important updates that were released during this time.
The warm-up phase is slowly getting perfected. All the modules now get their cooldown reset at the end of the warm-up phase. This way, every tanker starts the battle on equal terms.
We are currently testing another important change. This one will allow players to join an ongoing match only during the warm-up phase. Our main task now is to understand if this functionality will be indeed more effective than the previous one, in which players were allowed to join at any point throughout a battle.
The work on the interface is almost done. In April, we updated the interface for the player’s profile, settings menu, and friend’s profile. Players can now assign more comfortable control keys to be used for their active modules, as well as some other controls.
We made the first steps towards balancing the game’s economy, by focusing on its volume and dynamics. The ranked season rewards and the daily bonuses were increased. We also increased the number of crystals that drop from the league containers. Players will soon have the possibility of increasing their earnings with the help of battle missions. The daily quests will reset every 12 hours, with the premium quests being the only exception. Those will reset as before, once every 24 hours.
We’ve done a tremendous amount of work towards the optimization of the game, both server and game client wise. Our developers even decided to run some of those optimization updates through the open testing session for the first time, in order to ensure the stable operation of the servers and the game client, as well as to identify potential bugs.
The FPS issue will be fixed in one of the upcoming updates. We’re also working on fixing the lags and the mini freezes.
The Tanki X development team would like to thank those who participated in the open testing and shared valuable feedback.
This is definitely not the last open testing session. In the future, we will try to invite both the Russian and the English communities to such sessions, but that will mostly depend on developer’s needs and the goal of the testing session.
During the last couple of months, we actively worked on fixing bugs. We finally fixed the bug with the stuck battle ending screen, that was preventing players from getting their fairly earned reputation points and containers.
Our developers were successful in locating the victims of this bug and compensated them.
By the end of Spring, we will hopefully get rid of all the gameplay related bugs. We will also try not to miss or postpone fixes to such important bugs, in the future.
The Season of Heroes
And now, the most important news of this episode.
The Season of the Crow ended on the 19th of April. Players that played at least one battle during the last season already received the seasonal graffiti and well-deserved rewards according to the league they finished the season in. As always, the reputation was reduced for all the players before the beginning of the new season. More information about reputation reduction is available on our wiki page.
In February of this year, we made adjustments to our ranking system and reduced the amount of reputation that players from the Bronze and Silver leagues lose upon losing a battle. Two seasons later we can say that it was the right decision because it allowed players from lower leagues to showcase their real skill. However, the wide matchmaking searching range didn’t allow players with fewer upgrades to move up the ladder. Besides that, playing against high-rank players from higher leagues is often demotivating. The changes that we made to the new season is the first step towards solving this problem.
The Season of Heroes opens new possibilities for the Tanki X veterans and the most skilled players. The Master league has become truly competitive, with battles in stressful and harsh conditions, where players will fight for the highest season rewards and the Grand Prix.
The Master league will include every player that will manage to get more than 2500 reputation points. It is down to this mark that every high ranked player will have their reputation reduced at the end of the season. It is possible that in case the number of players in the Master league increases, the minimum reputation mark will be changed in the future.
The most important thing is that once you enter the Master league, you will no longer be matched against or with players from lower leagues.
At first, the matchmaking will mostly select 4v4 maps.
Additionally, we will soon add a penalty for leaving the lobby in a Master league battle. Later, we plan on changing the battle entering system for all the players. It is important to understand that in the Master league every action of your squad can affect the reputation count.
The season will last for six (6) weeks and is scheduled to end on May 31st. The rewards for this season have been increased by more than double for every player that has reached at least the Bronze league. Players from the Master league will get rewards higher than those in the Gold league. The top 50 players in the Master league will get even better rewards.
What about that Grand Prix we mentioned earlier? Well, the ultimate winner of the season, the player with the most reputation will be rewarded 30 containers, 9999 X-crystals, and the rarest paint in the game, the “Hero” paint which is one of a kind. It has a unique texture and visual effect. This paint will be passed from one winner to another, every season. This is definitely an item worth fighting for.
Very soon, we will announce new regular in-game contests that will offer the most active tankers a chance to climb higher on the ranked ladder.
Our community managers will be focusing on covering the events of the Master league more often. This includes releasing lists of players to have made it to the Master league, as well as conducting entertaining live streams with the best players in the league as guests.
At the end of April, we will publish a survey with the intent to learn your opinion about the recent changes. If players approve of them, we will start working on a page with the ranked ladder, on our website. After that, we will slowly start moving towards tournaments and eSports.
Announcements
April is almost over. On one of the upcoming weekends, Tanki X will celebrate the Steam release anniversary. Even more exciting will be the celebrations in May!
Between the 1st and the 12th of May, you will be able to earn three (3) different containers in battle. These will contain rare skins, new paints, and graffitis. Oh, and increased experience rates are guaranteed.
Don’t miss on any contests and competitions, they can always earn you extra crystals and items.
Thanks for reading and have a nice season, tankers!
Patch Notes 19.04.2018 - Season of Heroes!
Greetings, tankers!
Today, we released an update that is mainly focused on ranked play changes, as well as game optimization.
It's time for heroic deeds and the ultimate showcase of your skill. This is what you will need if you have hopes to grab the coolest reward Tanki X has ever seen since its existence. The symbol of the new season is the Samurai - a warrior of honor and courage, a desperate warrior that despise death and will fight to the very end, to defend his honor against the strongest opponents. Fire at will!
Ranked play changes:
Every player to reach the 2500 reputation points mark will enter the Masters league. The number of reputation you can earn in the Masters league is unlimited.
The new reputation downgrade system that happens at the end of every season will be looking like this from now on:
Players with less than 400 reputation points at end of the season will not lose any of their reputation points.
Players that are in the Master league at the end of the season will have their reputation points reduced down to 2500 points.
The rest of the players (with more than 400 and less than 2500 reputation points) will lose around 40% of their reputation points at the end of the season.
Players can now see their position in their current league in their in-game profile.
Players from the Master league will only battle against players from the same league. Players with more than 2500 reputation points (Master league) will no longer be matched against players from the Gold or a lesser league.
Additionally, we're currently testing a couple of changes that would affect the matchmaking ranges for the Gold and Silver leagues.
In one of the upcoming updates, we will add a penalty for players from the Master league for leaving the pre-battle lobby.
The current season will last until the 31st of May. The rewards for this season, for every league, will be more than doubled compared to previous seasons. The 6 weeks period will also allow us to better analyze the changes that we made and adjust the system if needed.
Players from the Master leagues will be competing for a Grand Prix - 9999 X-crystals, and the rarest paint in Tanki X called "Hero" that will be passed from one winner to another every season (only one player at a time will own this paint). The paint will have a unique visual special effect that we're currently working on (it will be ready by the end of the season).
Other changes:
The game client was updated and optimized. Here are the main changes and improvements:
Less FPS drops;
Game resources optimization;
RAM memory usage optimization (this will drastically reduce game crashes);
The amount of grass on the maps has been reduced by a quarter.
Small changes to the interface;
The battle interface (the "Focus" mode in particular) was also optimized;
The "Focus" mode of the battle interface will now be the default for new players;
More daily quests. Starting today, the daily quests list will renew every 12 hours ( at 00:00 UTC and 12:00 UTC). This means that if you completed a quest within the first 12 hours, you will get a new one once 12 hours have passed.
Important! This change does not affect premium quests. These will continue renewing every 24 hours.
Players will now join an on-going battle only during the first half of the battle.
Only the Training league will now have bots, occasionally.

Season of Heroes - the first announcement!
Greetings, tankers!
As many of you already know, the “Season of the Crow” is scheduled to end on the 19th of April. The new season is scheduled to start right after that and it was decided name it the “Season of Heroes”, and that is with a reason. Today, we would like to share with you the concept of the upcoming season, including the rules and the changes, in order to learn your opinion about them before we kick it off.
What is the reason for such changes?
Every Tanki X player wants to play on fair terms and have the ability to influence the outcome of a battle based on their skill and upgrades, but the current matchmaking system is by far optimal and sometimes even works against player’s interests.
The player’s rating is an indicator of a well-oiled build and a much-practiced skill. Although many players do not aspire to reach the tops, losing rating in a battle with much higher ranked players is hurtful.
Besides that, the veterans of the game are reportedly getting bored of playing against weaker opponents and are ready to go through a longer matchmaking search time, if that is what it takes to have a more exciting match.
What are these changes?
The concept of the upcoming season is a result of our work towards balancing the rating ranges of the matchmaking and the desire to make the battles at higher tiers more exciting. Let’s take a look.
The Master league will become an open league. What does that mean? It means that we are removing the limit of 50 players. Any player who will pass a certain reputation checkpoint will automatically move to the Master league.
All the players in the Master league will fight for ultimate rewards. The season rewards for the Master league will include lots of containers with blueprints, a mountain of X-crystals, and most importantly a unique rewards that will be passing from a winner to another winner every season.
Players in the Master league will only be matched with players from their league. This means that lower tier (Silver and Gold league) players will no longer be matched with players from the Master league.
The season will be longer, but the rewards will be double than in previous seasons. For now, we believe that 6 weeks for a season is the optimal duration, giving that we will need to gather a lot of statistics to help us adjust and improve the format if needed.
Despite the appearance that we focused on improving the experience only for the players in the Master league, the new changes will positively affect the lower tier leagues players as well.
We’re also planning on covering the ranked race more active and much frequently. If players will approve of these changes we won’t only make a separate page with the ranked ladder on our website, but will slowly start moving towards tournaments and eventually esports.
More details about the new season will be provided on the 19th of April.
At the end of April, we will definitely ask for your opinion in a survey. But for now, we are curious to learn what do you think about these changes right now. I will do my best to answer all your questions.
Please don't ask for too many details. More info will be provided upon the start of the new season. We only need your opinion on the things we mentioned in this topic.
Cosmonautics Day 2018 - April 12-16th!
Greetings, tankers!
Today, April 12th, we celebrate the first time a man was in open space. Cosmos is the future of mankind, it hides many mysteries and this is why our research resource go priorly towards the study of space.
The celebration will last between April 12th, 5:00 UTC, and April 16th, 5:00 UTC.
During the celebration, you will earn double the amount of experience you would usually earn in battles. That means faster equipment upgrade, rank, and more container points = more league blueprints.
Additionally, you will be able to earn the "Cosmonautics Day 2018" container in battle.
It includes:
rare skins called "Dreadnaught" for Thunder and Dictator;
a new and rare paint and coating called "Universe" ;
a new and rare graffiti called "Cosmos X";
steel skins for Titan and Isida;
"Indigo" ammunition for Freeze, and "Turquoise" ammunition for Twins.
The container can also be obtained in our in-game store for 125 X-crystals.
Here are a few additional details about the container:
You will have a chance at getting the container in battle only if you earned minimum 100 battle points and played the battle until the end.
Upon opening one container, one or two items will drop. If you already have the item in your garage, you will be compensated with Crystals.
The container will be removed from our in-game store along with the removal of the celebration, on April 16th. However, the containers that you already have in your garage, as well as the items that drop/dropped from the container will forever remain in your garage.
Oh, and one more thing. At the request of many tankers, we decided to play with the gravity on a couple of maps.
Moon Silence - Moon gravity level
Ares - Mars gravity level
Repin - super earth gravity level.
Additionally, these maps will be selected twice as often in our matchmaking during the celebration.
Stay tuned for contests, giveaways, challenges, and puzzles. We will announce them later today, and/or tomorrow.
Have fun, guys!

Rumors are that there is a new evil in these lands. The once friendly Bananaguards, are being mind controlled by an evil mastermind, they can appear in battles of any level and rating/league. They will shoot tanks on sight. For them, nothing matters and no life is important more than their beloved bananas and their mind-controlling Banana Lord.

Update
First, we would like to let you know that the Tanki X EULA has been slightly modified. You can read the updated version upon entering the game or on our website.
Changes and bug fixes:
Players can now use the general chat only after reaching the 5th rank.
We fixed a bug in which players that would have their tanks inactive at the end of the warm-up phase, would not get their module cooldowns reset.
We fixed the prices for 3x and 10x XT containers in our in-game store. These are currently on sale. The normal price for the Hornet XT was also fixed.
Enjoy the weekend!
Patch Notes 2.04.2018 - Interface, warm-up, weekly sale, bug fixes!
Good day, tankers!
The first update this April brings us a couple of long-awaited changes. Let's check them out!
Changes:
We've updated the interface for the player's profile menu as well as friend's profile. Unfortunately, due to technical difficulties, the weaponry statistic had to be reset. Wasn't the case for the rest of the statistic.
The battle interface will now display the assign keys for modules and other re-assigned controls.
After the warm-up is done, the cooldown for modules will now be reset. Additionally, the battlefield will be cleared of mines, drones, shields, and other traps or devices, before the actual battle starts.
Bug fixes:
We fixed some of the in-game text.
We fixed a bug in which players that were trying to get into an already finished game, after an accidental disconnect, weren't receiving their rewards.
Attention!
From now on, 2 minutes before a server restart, maintenance, or update, players will get a notification message with a timer. All the ongoing battles will be automatically finished and closed 30 minutes before the server shut down/restart.
Important! During the 2 minutes timer, we strongly advise players not to join any battles.
Weekly Sale:
The new weekly sale is starting today. Players will now be offered to buy a rare item (that can only be obtained from a container) and a popular container with a discount.

Get ready for a fantastic April!
Greetings, tankers!
It’s been a long time since we announced anything game related. Well, it’s time we change that. Here are a couple of things that were recently approved and already went into production some time ago, as well as others that were already done and will be released soon.
We are planning to release an addition to the game interface this week. We have finally finished the interface for the player’s profile menu. Additionally, we will be implementing the gift functionality. Players will be able to buy x-crystals for other players directly from their profile. More information about the payment methods available for this functionality will be provided with the release of the update.
The second update will add a few changes to the warm-up phase. After a couple of tests and a lot of positive feedback from our testers, we decided to change the color pallet during warm-up. The phase will run in the “sepia” color style. This change was decided to be made for originality purposes, as well as to avoid confusion between the warm-up phase and the actual battle. Additionally, as per your feedback, the cooldown timers of modules will be reset after the warm-up.
The new and reworked weekly sale will be starting this week. These are now much compact and feature cooler items than before. Don’t miss out!
Between the 6th and the 8th of April, because we were unable to celebrate April Fool’s Day, we will be celebrating the Banana Day, a bit earlier, but still a worthy celebration. We were planning this celebration for a long time and decided to add a unique thing - the Banana league! This league will be represented by players with the lowest number of reputation points. One of the upsides of being in this league will be that players will have a chance to double their reputation points earned in battles upon winning! More info on that will be provided later this week. Oh, and there’s going to be new items.
And now, something we are very excited about. At the end of the current season, along with a few changes to the ranked play rules, players will be able to pick a side by choosing a faction! Oh Yeah!
Upon entering the game, players will be presented with a short lore of the two battling factions - Frontier and Antaeus. After the short presentation, players will be asked to pick one of the two factions. Picking a faction will be a permanent choice and representatives of each of the factions will have a different game experience. The faction you will represent will also decide which side of the map you will be fighting on, will affect the battle reward (containers will slightly differ), the flags in the CTF mode will be branded with their respective logos.
Players of each faction will now influence the history of the Tanki X world. New maps, equipment, skins, paints, and more will be related to the faction that you represent (in most of the cases, a separate version for each faction will be released). If you ever decide to switch factions, you will be able to do that only on a newly created account.
A ranked ladder will be available on our website, where players will be able to check the current standing of the two factions.
A lot of work is being put into having these released in April. We really hope you like what you see, but if you don’t, please don’t rage out, but instead share your feedback in a calm way.
Half of the news above are part of our April Fool's Joke! But, don't be sad, half of them aren't! :)
30% discount on X-crystals during this weekend!
Greetings, tankers!
As it appears, we don't need a special occasion to celebrate, so we can just celebrate the weekend, or you can come up with your own special occasion.
The good news is that we've prepared a 30% discount on X-crystals, to have something to celebrate with. Using a prepaid vending machine will also offer you the discount.
The special offer will last between 5:00 UTC, March 24th, and 5:00 UTC, March 26th.
Have a wonderful weekend!
