Commanders!

As you have no doubt noticed, the Escalation event is now live and with it multiple ways of obtaining rewards. Let’s take a look at what’s available together.First, let’s talk about standard rewards. The standard rewards for playing the Escalation mode are:

  • Credits and Experience (roughly similar or better to other modes per minute of combat, please note that killing Elite enemies rewards you with extra currency)

  • Battle Coins

  • Legendary Loot Crates

Legendary Loot Crates are awarded to top 3 players in a victorious mission. Additionally, one more Legendary Loot Crate is awarded to the entire team if you manage to destroy all Elite enemies on the map. Whether you have or have not destroyed all Elite enemies can be tracked with a new objective marker.Additionally, there are new Epic medals available in this mode. The medals are as follows:

  • Steel Eagle (Legendary): Help destroy (by dealing damage to vehicles or destroying modules) the largest number of enemy vehicles (at least 20) in a single PvE (Legendary) match

  • Iron Dragon (Legendary): Medal awarded to a player, who deals the most damage in a PvE (Legendary) match. The damage dealt must be equal to at least 33% of enemy vehicle combined hitpoints

  • Legendary Sword: Destroy at least 25 enemy vehicles in a single PvE (Legendary) match

  • Order of Resistance (Legendary): Medal awarded to a player, who repels the most damage in a game and survives. Repelled damage must be equal to at least 40000 hitpoints

  • Steel Avalanche (Legendary): Medal awarded to the entire team that completes a PvE (Legendary) mission without a single death and without using any hitpoint-restoring consumables by any member of the team

Epic medals award players with multipliers to their income (especially Credits) and can really kick the mission results up a notch. They are not currently tied to the Mastery flags, but that feature is planned for the future.In addition to these, there are three Legendary Achievements waiting for you:

  • Complete the PvE (Legendary) mission Quarterback with Elites present within 4 minutes from the start

  • Complete the PvE (Legendary) mission Quarterback while destroying each Elite within 1 minute from its appearance

  • Complete the PvE (Legendary) map Quarterback and destroy the Clayburn Officer at the exact moment of successfully holding the refinery

These achievements can each be completed once are awarding players not only with Credits and Reputation, but also with a new type of Loot Crate called Desert Loot CrateDesert Loot Crate contains a single Tier 6 to Tier 9 Premium vehicle or a Premium commander that you do not have yet. If you have all the items obtainable from this crate, you will receive 2000 Gold.

  • Commanders Kitescu and Cortez

  • Rare vehicles such as Olifant, Pereh, ELKE or RDF/LT Ares

  • And much more
