Season 2 is live
Season 2 is live, with two things to dive into this week. 20v20 is a new mode built for large-scale combat, open to play this weekend. It's 20 players a side, 40 tanks in one battle: a format HEAT hasn't tried before. Season 2 Twitch Drops also start now, with a launch-week camo up for grabs just by watching HEAT on Twitch.
Get in and find out how a 40-player fight actually plays out, and help shape where the mode goes from here.
How to jump in this weekend
20v20 opens on Friday,
September 4 and runs through Sunday,
September 6, playable daily from
13:00 to 20:00 UTC. It runs as its own mode, the same way Plant/Defuse does, so you won't find it in Quick Match. Open the mode selector and pick the "
20 VS 20" tile to load in.
Pick 20 VS 20 from the mode selector to jump in.This is the first time we're opening this mode to the public, so your feedback carries real weight. Play it, push it hard, and tell us what works and what doesn't. If a team comes up short, HEAT fills the empty slots with AI-controlled tanks, so every battle still runs at full scale.
This is just the start
20v20 is still in testing, and this opening weekend is only the beginning. It's part of a rotating slate of weekend events, so both 20v20 and Plant/Defuse will be back on future weekends, with your feedback helping steer where they go. Keep an eye out for what's next.
